Need a big game from CeeDee Lamb...

A couple of 50+ yd FGs from Boswell wouldn't hurt either

Currently in a weather delay…

Back when I was a kid ... I don't even remember a weather delay... Bunch of tree huggers

Kickoff is now expected at 9:45 PM Eastern.

Who are these producers?

How did they think Celine Dion should be an NFL ambassador?

[nobody 2,559]

Pitt -2.5 is waaaay too obvious here, so you can bet the cowboys are going to cover which is a bummer because I'd like to see some Justin Fields goodness.

I think people forgot this is Fields and he can have a 3 turnover game pretty easily.

Won't be a surprise if Dallas wins straight up.  Looking ahead next week Dallas hosts Detroit.  Think the NFL would like Dallas to come into that game a little hot instead of limping in at 2-3.

[nobody 2,559]

That's why I like Tirico.  He knew that was grounding on Dak straight away.

[makindollaz 51]

I don’t watch Pittsburgh a lot.  Are they always this vanilla on offense?

[nobody 2,559]

They are

[nobody 2,559]

I've never seen a team so keen on losing as Dallas is this game.

[nobody 2,559]

At least we got a decent finish to the game.

[polecatt 474]

This could be a bit of a break out game for Jalen Tolbert.

His development has been pretty slow, but they drafted him to be a solid WR2 next to CeeDee. He has the tools to be just that.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on going forward

Uptick with Cooks out, Tolbert isn’t going to give back that starting job once Cooks returns.

He may not. He's needed a boost to break out, I think that may have happened.

Cooks won't go to the bench, but he may move to the slot more, when CeeDee isn't there that is.

Cooks is very versatile, so he will adapt, but his career is winding down.

Jump on the Jalen Tolbert bandwagon early

strange, I didnt think he was that old, but when I checked he is 31 so yeah, could be winding down.

his first year in dallas seemed weird.  I saw him get open a lot but Dak just wouldnt target him.   I have not watched much of him lately but wouldnt be surprised if they just dont read the defense the same way and thus not on the same page.

when I played QB if my wr wasnt where I thought he should be I'd just move onto the next read.   so maybe its one of those situations
