    Steelers lost the Miami game because the D-line got abused and the O-line was inconsistent. Steelers will face equivalent or better D-lines and O-lines down the stretch.

    Dolphins would beat the Steelers again if there was a rematch.

    Also... Mike Tomlin is a good coach, but losing to inferior teams is getting old, quick. The Steelers have one of the highest paid OL's in the league and a great OL coach, but yet it's still inconsistent. Likewise with the secondary... Tomlin and Colbert have missed the boat on the CB position. I'm not one of those Cowher-apologists. Cowher pissed me off too with the AFC Championship losses. Tomlin never had losing seasons like Cowher... but Cowher didn't have talent at QB like Tomlin has, plus Cowher racked up a lot more playoff wins. If Tomlin wins another AFC Championship... then I'll shut the **** up.

    Questionable. That game was basically the Dolphins final chance to turn their season around. Mass re-organising of the team, basically a 'play or your fired' situation. At the same time as they were pulling together, we played like utter dog ****.

    On another Sunday, Steelers step up and Dolphins lack the back-to-the-wall fire... maybe different result.

    Running the ball for 222 yards won that game for them and their defense ate ben up, who had 2 picks and a 57 QBR........

    Seahawks were my last hope to stop the cowboys lol. Sucks this league is trash this year..

    now hoping maybe the cosmic universe shifts and allows Pit to beat Dal in the bowl.

    AND Ben played the entire 2nd half with a torn meniscus, which significantly impacted the defense by putting them on the field repeatedly.

    There were a number of reasons why we lost that game, and it wasn't just run defense (though it did suck that day).

    I think we'd win a rematch, especially at home.

    I agree and I have a feeling we may get that rematch in the playoffs and I for one would love another crack at them. But one step at a time let's kick some Giant Butt this week!!!!!! :herewego!:

    Why are 31 NFL teams even playing or have hope if the godly Cowboys cannot be beaten?

    The same reason they are; win a world title. Why else would they be playing? Besides, Minnesota did give us insight on how to stop Dallas and limit Prescott.



    To say tonight's game was moot due to the Norseman loss does not mean other teams will try to copy what Minnesota accomplished.



    Those unrelated comments aside, if threads like these are going to pop up every time the Steelers win, the responses are going to be most interesting.

    Everyone needs to relax on the Cowboy bandwagon. How did KC make out after they won 11 in a row??? I don't remember them still being the team standing at the end of the season. How many times does the best team in the regular season go on and win, Colts how many years with Manning or one better how about them 16-0 Cheats????

    I am taking nothing away from the Cowboys they have a good thing going but until they do it in the playoffs I guess to me it is just another thing right now.

    Or the 15-1 Steelers that also had a rookie QB and a similar winning streak. Dallas in no shoo-in.

    Yep.

    They're playing well now. But play offs are a different story altogether, especially for the younger players.

    For sure look at the last few weeks yes they won but they are playing better teams, last night vs the vikes the Skins and us all could have been loses. Come playoff time you are gonna face better teams and added pressure. Again not taking anything away from them but they are also not a shoe in to win it all, I think the NYG, Seahawks and Falcons may have a say in that......

    I'm one of the most negative members here... but I think the Cowboys will come crashing down to earth soon. They don't impress me at all and they look vulnerable at times. They get by with a lot of help from the other team... penalties and stupid mistakes.

    Yep. My rematch prediction with the Eagles isn't looking too good. I'll take this rematch. Of course I'm naturally assuming we will be there :lolol:

    The season isnt over yet and anyone of the 4 teams left on the cowturds schedule can beat them starting with the giants playing them at home, then tampa is capable of upsetting them, then the lions are on a winning streak with a hot matt stafford at QB, they could easily lose two or three of their last 4 games and give the division title to the giants especially if the giants beat us sunday, which is a possibility, the cowturds are not the 1 seed in the nfc just yet, and I dont think they have the fire power to hang with the falcons or seahawks in the playoffs even if they get there....

    The Cowboys should have lost to the Vikings last night. The Cowboys will be lucky to get to the SB unless they buy tickets. With Gronk out for the season, I'm not real worried about the Pats. I'm thinking Steelers and maybe Seahawks.
