If the Browns play us like they're playing the Giants right now, next week's game will be tough, too.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

I wish I was more happy about romo being out, but they have so many weapons that I am not sure their offense will suffer too much with Brad in there for awhile. As long as he has the time he will keep the offense moving. But I'd rather see them without Romo then with him.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

The time off will probably be great for Tony Romo's game, although certainly it hurts the Boys in the short term.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Id rather have them at their best

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Watching Brad Johnson play QB is like watching paint dry. All he's going to do is dink and dunk. And while he'll cut down on the turnovers, the playmaking ability that Romo gives them goes out the window.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

[quote=Twilbert07;489560]If the Browns play us like they're playing the Giants right now, next week's game will be tough, too.[/quote]I wouldn't worry about that. There were 15 days between their last game and this game to prepare for, and they will only have 6 days to prepare for us.

Also, as much as the G-men were off their game, understand that -- much like the Rams vs. us -- the Browns don't win that game unless they finish +3 in the turnover margin (sound familiar?). If we simply protect the football better next week, the Browns won't touch us.

Is it really though?

The Skins had 1 turnover through 5 games, and 1 game with 3. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now on the last game.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

[quote=GTripp0012;489275]Word is that he'll return in time to play us at FedEx.

The Cowboys play the Rams, Tampa, and the Giants in the time Romo will be out.[/quote]

Which is fine. We're NOT SKURD! Just means he'll be rusty and wanting to protect his lil fanny finger from getting hit.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

While Brad Johnson has a noodle arm, he's a smart QB. This is going to open things up in the middle of the field for the Cowboys. Watch for TO or Crayton in the slot, and Witten over the middle to see a ton more looks. TO will stop whining for a few weeks because with Romo out, Johnson will have no choice but to get the ball to TO if they are going to be successful.

Plus with no Felix Jones, Tashard Choice is going to get a chance to relief Barber, who is going to see plenty of more carries.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

If Johnson shakes off the rust, I think he will bring the cowboys a sense of professionalism that is missing.

Exactly. There is something very wrong with the Boys right now. If you saw when Folk hit that FG to tie it, Romo barely showed any emotion. This is the guy that is never at a loss to smile or get excited.

Someone made a great comparison to the Pats of the mid 1990s, after Parcells left, when they hired a players coach in Pete Carroll. What happened afterward was a team that showed a lack of discipline, committing dumb penalties.

Larry Brown on the Cowboys postgame show made a great point. When he was playing, especially under Jimmy, they took pride in not making mistakes. To make mistakes was to jeopardize your position on the team. That doesn't seem to truly matter right now. I mean, if Wade Phillips wanted to cut a player right now, would he just be able to tell Jerry to do it and everything would be OK? I highly doubt it.

All this being said, they are still 4-2, and these next three games are all winnable. If they can bond together as a team and truly play as one, this injury could be a blessing in disguise. Or, the whole damn thing could implode. I'm sure you Redskin fans would HATE to see that happen. :)

Funny I saw it very differently when you guy's tied it up at the end of the game. They showed a shot of TO and Romo and they both had that smirk on their face like now we will put them away in overtime. I even had that same feeling as here they go to pull this one off but we now know "the rest rest of the story".

I think so,I think it was a fluke we went 5 games without a turnover,that just doesnt happen,as a matter of fact it had never happenned before in nfl history,so to think were going to stay on that same path IMO is very wishful thinking.Now hopefully there wont be anymore 3 turnover games,a more manageable 1 turnover game.

Is it just me or does it seem like over the yrs when we have turnovers they usually turn into HUGE plays for the other team.Cant we just fumble the ball and somebody fall on it instead of running for a td? It seems like over the yrs theres been a few times where we would just dominate a team but the turnovers would kill us because they werent just fumbles or ints,they were fumbles or ints that were returned for TDS!!
I can remember a game againts the eagles in the 80's I think,Gerald Riggs was carving up the eagles,had over 200 yrds rushing,was going in for a score to put the game away and fumbled and it was returned for an eagles td,eagles win. That kinda shit always seems to happen to us,or maybe i just think that cause Im a skin fan,maybe other fans feel the same way about their teams

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

come sunday at 415pm,we'll all see whether if it was or was not a fluke.
sunday's game will decide the season in my view.

5 games without a turnover is rare, but I also think coughing it up 3 times in a game is almost as much of a fluke for this team.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

[quote=Mattyk72;489767]5 games without a turnover is rare, but I also think coughing it up 3 times in a game is almost as much of a fluke for this team.[/quote]Rare,and lucky. Because, instead of fumbling 4 times against the Rams, if we had fumbled say, once more against the Saints, twice against the Cowboys, and once vs. the Eagles (same ball security %), we'd be staring 2-4 in the face right now, and 0-3 in the division.

Even with the loss to the Rams, we're clearly better off the way things HAVE worked out as opposed to what could have been.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

I think what this proves is that Zorn (or Gibbs for that matter) can stress ball security all they want, but if the QB's arm is hit, or a helmet hits the ball squarely, it's still going to come out.

What hasn't happened yet is that Jason Campbell hasn't thrown a ball into coverage that he shouldn't have thrown. And that's a huge advantage we have over other teams. Because teams that play us are throwing very interceptable balls, and if that trend continues we will dominate the turnover margin this season.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

ha ha! Good! this could mean big time trouble for the girls. however, if romo hurts it bad enough to where he can't play the Wash. game, Brad Johnson will prob rip us to shreds,(always does), but in the same breath, dallas prob won't win many other games.a gift and a curse...

on another note, does anyone else find it bizarre that we play dallas at wash. after our bye week but cowgirls also have their bye week that same week? kinda takes away any advantage of the bye week doesn't it? In all my years i don't think I've ever heard of 2 teams playing each other after bye week. they should do them all like this...imho

JC is really doing a great job protecting the ball. Just an amazing job to not have an INT so far.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

He couldn't hold onto the ball with all of his fingers in tact. So, how many fumbles will he have with a broken finger? 7? 8? :D

GO RAMS!

They pressured Campbell very well, better than anyone else this season so far. Hopefully they can get some good shots on Romo too.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

I was surprised he wasn't going to play, not taking anything away from a broken finger, just seemed 4 weeks was way to long to be out. If Campbell did that, the threads would probably light up.
But why would Favre call another team's qb in the middle of the season??? would he do that if he had been in the NFC?
weird.

I have thought it has been kind of funny while Troy Aikman has been announcing our games he has talked about how well JC holds on to the ball in trafic and does not put it on the ground. Everytime I hear him say this I jus think back to all his fumbles last year. He is doing a better job of protecting the ball but I'm not ready to say he does a great job of not fumbling because of how many he had last year. Its like Aikman is just looking at what he has done over the past 6 weeks.

I was thinking about this the other day. All the wierd drills JZ ran last summer may have done some good. Specifically, look at the way JC handles himself under pressure in the pocket this year. Always looking downfield, maintaining focus on the play and not the whirlwind of activity around him. Maybe throwing blocking pads at him worked? It may have also helped him stay out of trouble thus far in general.

He's done a great job [I]this year[/I]. Aikman has referenced the fact that in the past he didn't do a very good job at holding on to the ball.
