Cowboys are dangerous if Romo doesn’t throw the game away or dig them in an early hole.

It’s time for the Steelers to stop drafting fast receievers and to start drafting SMART ones. Wow!!! Brown, Sanders and Wallace are as dumb as a box of rocks!!!!

after Ben was clubbed in the head by DeMarcus Ware he was sacked twice and threw an interception. In my opinion that was the difference in the game, besides AB fumbling the punt return

********************************
Antonio Brown, as well as others, has to secure the football. Especially in a tight one like that. Too many basic miscues this season…

@st1llerz1 Speaking of injuries Dallas was down 6 starters on their Defense and 2 key backups to those starters. So don’t act like y’all are the only ones with injuries. That’s over half of our defense

@ billhicks666
Peyton Manning is great, there is no other way to slice it. HOF, 1st ballot, without a doubt. Watching him today, I still don’t feel he has reached his peak of this season.

That said, the Steelers throughout his (Manning) history have had a pretty decent track record against Manning and his respective team(s).

If Denver & Manning played Pittsburgh right now in this moment, he’d probably carve them up. But I would not doubt that the Steelers would have an effective game plan to combat some of what he brings to the table.

There’s nothing wrong with Romo in December or any other month. The main difference these past few weeks is the defense stepping up in crunch time.

@billhicks666…

I seem to recall that Manning beat us by 7 points in Denver without Clark.

Now that was before we were down to our 5th and 6th cornerbacks, but I still think the Steelers defense would give him a game in Pittsburgh. Victorian and Golden were on the practice squad as recently as two weeks ago and were on the field for the entire game tonight. Not many teams can overcome that kind of onslaught of injuries.

As always…

GO STEELERS!

Steelers are officially playing bench warmer to the Bengals and Ravens. How proud you must feel Steeler fans, hahaha.

12 5

Really ? Not a fan of either team ravens or steelers but ravens aren’t going anywhere. Crazy thing for steelers is if bengals steelers and ravens all end up 9-7 I am pretty sure based on nfl tiebreakers steelers win division. Not 100% on that but

Where are the Romo haters at??? Are you guys finally ready to shut up and just accept the fact he’s a great quarterback?? He single handedly LIFTS the Cowboys.

Face it, dude. The Steelers couldn’t keep up with Manning in Pittsburgh with Clark.

Romo in Dec.

2012: 6 td’s 1 int
2011: 8 td’s 0 int’s
2009: 7 td’s 1 int

Romo’s been doing good.

That was a real fun game to watch. Ben did not look very sharp again – I also noticed his play dropped significantly after he got bludgeoned in the head by Ware.

st1llerz1 — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:46:13 +0000

While it would be nice to think we’ll win the next two weeks at home and sneak into the sixth seed, do we really want it? While you always want to dance, if we get in, odds are we’re headed to…Denver. How cruel is that? We get to go to Denver yet again and play without Ryan Clark. I don’t believe we can keep up with Manning in Denver without Clark.

Today’s game was entertaining; however, as it seems to be this entire year, the ball hits the turf in the open field because of lousy ball security.

This division will be WIDE open next year!

GO STEELERS!

Does anybody realize that if the Steelers win their last 2 games they are in the playoffs? This game didn’t mean a thing the only game that matters is next week against the Bengals. Well worry about the Browns after that but again, this game didnt mean a thing except making a run at the AFC North.

And we would kill to play the Ravens again in the playoffs.

Ain’t the playoffs yet dude….

That’s FIVE games this season that Romo has won, coming from behind in the 4th Qtr. He’s 3-0 this December as well. Time to drop the ‘not clutch’ meme.

As a Giants fan, which clearly stank so bad today they gave the team a can of tomato soup to bath in, this makes things interesting!

Ben belongs on a short bus. To not blame him for the throw is ridiculous. That was a terrible throw and he missed several throws badly that game. Throw in the sacks he was taking the last drives of the game instead of throwing the ball away and I can’t see how he doesn’t take the blame ifor being stupid. I am a steeler fan but this team is poorly coached too. Special teams.blunders. brown running out of bounds when need to kill the clock. Either bad coaching or just stupid. They aren’t dead….but its getting ugly. And ravens fans….you are joking right. That offense is horrible. You wonder why your qb doesn’t have a contract?

“The odds that the Steelers would stop the Cowboys at say the 36 are far, far greater than stopping them at the 1″

Theoretically, yeah. Realistically, if the Cowboys don’t gain an inch it’s a 53 yard FG attempt. Better odds, but then again what are the odds that the Steelers could hold the Cowboys to 0 yards in three downs? Probably about equal to the odds of them blocking a FG attempt from the one.

The sad thing Ravens fans is that we have lost 4 of our last 5 games and we still are playing better football than you guys.

Does playing better and losing make you feel better? Last I checked style points don’t count in the NFL. They only check the win loss column

First congrats cowboys from a steelers fan and it was a exciting game to watch I would have enjoyed it better with a win but wasn’t meant to be, now as for the ravens you act like u won today when it didn’t look like u even showed up, you fire your offensive coordinator when maybe u should have fired your offensive team, yes u in the playoffs but u won’t last either will the bengals and realistically if steelers make it still they won’t to many areas we need improvement in, honestly none of the teams in the afc north deserve to go. But I have been forever and will be forever a steelers fan so lets hope a victory the next two weeks for us and a loss in the next two weeks for the bengals so I can at least watch the steelers for 1 additional week

The Steelers are in the middle of transitioning from older players to newer players so it’s no surprise that they run into a few bumps along the way. And this season has just been one long bump.

It would be easy to heap all of the blame on just one or two players (we’re looking your way Antonio Brown aka WeeklyFumbleMaster), but it’s pretty clear the whole team has performed at an average level at best this season. So assuming the Steelers don’t actually trip and fall unexpectedly into the playoffs let’s hope they take step forward next season.
