Would love for us to knock the snot out of the Cowf---ers. It is going to be a battle no doubt.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

NFL NETWORK just came out and said it was a collapsed lung. Pneumothorax. Ta daaaa.

It takes up to 2 weeks to heal and were not talking about a QB who has to worry about getting hit again and again. They would be smart to sit him for about 2 weeks then evaluate him. Then maybe think about sitting him another week or 2.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

NFL.com

[QUOTE]"Additional testing on the fractured rib of Tony Romo today revealed that he also has evidence of a pneumothorax -- a condition that is not unusual for an injury such as the one Romo sustained in the game in San Francisco," the team said Monday in a release. "Varying degrees of a pneumothorax can heal in differing time frames. The Cowboys medical team will continue to monitor the situation and conduct additional tests as the week progresses."

[/QUOTE]

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

Again from NFL.com

[QUOTE]If Romo plays with the injury, he would not be the first Cowboys quarterback to do so. In the 1968 Playoffs, Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith played at the Browns in the Eastern Conference Championship Game after spending time in the hospital that week with a punctured lung and pneumonia.

Meredith had 3 interceptions in that game, completing only 3 of 9 passes for 42 yards before Tom Landry pulled him, replacing him with Craig Morton. It was Meredith’s last game.
[/QUOTE]

Not sure if Meredith retirement was because of the injury or old age. but I doubt the Cowboys would want the same to happen to Romo.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

Doesn't make a difference if Romo is in or out. Kitna can get the job done. Even if Jones is hurt, big deal. He isn't a top RB IMHO. Now if Miles Austin is out, that does take away a big play threat. This is the same situation we usually found ourselves with regards to the Gmen. Banged up badly, only to be able to come back and beat us. I think we win, but I wouldn't count our chickens before they hatched. Kitna for Romo isn't that big of a trade off in my opinion, and that is the most likely of the scenarios, meaning Romo is the only one who loses playing time. Our run D is fairly tight, so I think the Dallas running game will be held in check for the most part.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

Sorry Gus but Tony is a stud and Kitna isn't even close to his level

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

Would karma go against us if i hoped for Romo to have fractured rectum to add to his ribs if he plays next week? :)

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

If we shut down their running game we will be fine , assuming we get into the endzone a few times ...... DALLAS SUCKS !!!

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

If Romo plays with that injury and get's hit like this....

The skins could be 15-0 and the cowboys could be 0-15 when we'd play them and it would still be a close game. Why? Because its a rivalry folks. Throw out the records and the players that are all pros and practice squaders who are and are not playing in the game. It will be a good close game.

The Cowboys did avoid becoming 0-16 one season...and they did it by beating the Redskins.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

[quote=SBXVII;837956]All I'm saying is the Cowboys would be stupid to take a chance and let him play when they could let him heal and then come back and hopefully play in the later part of the year. He obviously didin't have a lung collapse but this is what I'm talking about....



One good hit could cause his lung to collapse. Two types of pneumothorax's, Spontaneous which is usually from scuba diving, or sky diving, or lung disease. Tension pneumothorax occurs usually from being stabbed or rib fracture. The latter (if the lung collapses) takes about 2 weeks to recover from. But that is usually from someong who had a broken rib puncture the lung and the lung collapses. The rib itself takes longer to heal and god forbid he takes the chance and ends up constantly reinjuring either his rib or lung.



Again he didn't have a pneumothorax but they will not want to chance it with his broken rib having already punctured it once. The doctors will want the lung and rib to heal up a little possibly a week or two. Just my personal guess. They would be stupid to let him play.[/quote]

I hate the cowboys as much as anyone, but I dont want romo to end up getting killed because one of or pass rushers collapses his lung. If romo plays I'm actually going to be worried for him every time he drops back. I would love to beat a cowboys team with a healthy starting quarterback, but he's not healthy. Cowboys need to sit him if his life could be in jeopardy.

I'll second that, although if he did end up getting hurt worse I'd put that on him and the cowboys coaches instead of our d unless they did something dirty, which idt would happen.

All the collapsed lung, broken ribs, if a bunch of crap Jerra is playing this out sooo well. Its all an exageration, to make Romo look good to stir up his team. I would almost bet that Jerra persuaded the "collapsed lung" verbage out of the team dr's. Wake up!! Jeesh am i the only one seeing this!!!
Dez Bryant: Quad bruise or whatever: Out for a game
Tony Romo: Collapsed lung: WIll PLAY ON MONDAY NIGHT

LMAO!!!! OMG look everyone how tough Romo is, he is a Hero!!!

Crusty, at first I thought you sounded like a typical conspiracy theorist, then I remembered it's Jerra we're talking about; he's definitely a skilled spinster. I see your point.

What I wonder is how much Romo wanting to play will factor in; will Garrett (& Jerra) let him play if he says he can? I think he'll want to play for fear of losing his job. Kitna did a good job for them last year. Regardless, I see lots of blitzing coming their way next monday!

If he has pneumothorax even if minor would require 3 weeks minimum for the body to reabsorb the air around the lung and at least 1-2 week to scar over. So I believe the collapsed lung to be all hype and BS at this point.

If his life is in any danger, it does not mater if Cowboys FO wants to start him or not, the NFL will not allow him to play if there is any doubt. If he is out on the field come Monday night, then Im all for our D putting his ass back on the sideline.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

^ Not collapsed, punctured.

It will be collapsed if he meets up with Orakpo or Kerrigan this week though. When I first heard about the lung last night, I immediately wondered about pneumonia.

They'd be reckless to let him play. Kitna did a fine job last season and I think he'll take over before year's end, but Jerry Jones will probably through Romo out there this week for the headlines.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

I seriously doubt the "conspiracy theory" thing. JJ likes the camera nd spotlight more than he should. But at the end of the day, he is a businessman.

And I can't fathom gambling your 65 million dollar QB if the risk of permanent injury exists.

All reports are the pneumo is very minor. And if it is a displaced rib fracture there is a chance for further injury.

However, the media is reporting that the rib fracture is not a displaced fracture, and if the pneumo has healed enough, they can give him a needle to help with the pain that is expected with a rib fracture.

I'd say he has a 30% chance of playing Monday night.

Question I think the coaches have to answer is if a "limited" Romo is better than a "healthy" Kitna when game time comes around.

And Romo was 12-16 for 201 and a TD AFTER he returned late in the third quarter. That's pretty good for a guy with a broken rib and a hole in his lung.

I'd rather see him throw four picks and fumble two snaps than puke blood but that's just the treehugger in me coming out.

That's why if Romo is on the field Monday night he should expect the Redskins D to be coming at him every play and I will conclude that he is 100% because if the reports are true then there is 100% chance of permanent injury.

Last thing I want to hear is that we beat the Cowboys because of a "limited" Romo. A needle for pain can not prevent a cracked rib from re-penetrating a already penetrated lung.

Lets see how JJ handles business.

Yeah, I'm sure God had everything to do with the safety playing too close to the line in the box obviously showing they were doubling up Ogletree. Allowing Romo to audible.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

Looks like the news In Landover is getting better by the minute.

Just read that no on is sure if Romo will play Monday.

But, Austin is a for sure NO GO and Dez Bryant is still very questionable.
So the Cowboys could be taking the field with Kevin Ogeltree as the #1 WR, and a Felix Jones that has a separated shoulder.

The triage list is long in Dallas.......

Newman will FINALLY play (hope he remembers how to put on a helment). Newman has not practiced since week 1 of Training Camp. Jenkins is knicked up, Scandrick is out for a few more weeks with an ankle sprain. That leaves the most inept CB to ever wear a uniform covering the slot....Alan Ball. You can tell just how much I like AB.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

Key to beating the Cowboys on Monday Night? Telling Romo funny jokes before and between plays. If this was a home game we could play Richard Pryor or Freddy Prinz Sr over the loud speaker.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

Romo is a very, very good player who took over a team with a lot of talent on it, so I think people grew to hate him and what he stood for. But right now, he and Jason Witten (and Miles Austin, when healthy) are a couple of superstars (and in Witten's case, future Hall of Famer) on a team that really isn't very good.

They're the complete opposite of what the Redskins have become. The Redskins are a top-down organization: the coaches run everything. The players are more replaceable now than ever before. Starting quarterback gets hurt? Whatever.

The Cowboys have Romo, Witten, Ware and Austin, but that's it. This isn't a good team. It's a good four players. Bad teams like those seen in the NFC West don't have comparable talent to what the Cowboys offer. But that's really just those four guys.

And we don't have four guys as good as them, but I don't think we'll need it this week.

Whether you hate Dallas or not,what Romo did sunday was pretty incredible and gutsy,not heroic though.
What im afraid of happening is,if romo does play I think they will be very fast on the draw with the flag on protecting him.I foresee at least 1 roughing the passer call

Hey, the '82 NFC Championship was a hellava game. But that was almost 30 years ago, and according to the age on your avatar, it says you are 30 years old.

Don't tell me you REMEMBER watching that game.

Re: We Want Dallas! 2011 Thread
 

Romo has no business stepping on the field against the Redskins or the Lions. If survives the Skins he won't survive against the Lions. It's a long season and the sensible thing to do is to sit him out the next two games and with the bye week he will have plenty of time to recover. I would be shocked if the Cowboys are stupid enough to risk seasonal or even worse a long term injury to thier franchise qb.
