Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Per ESPN's Michael Smith.

Torn finger ligament.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

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.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Holy Jeebus!

That's a pretty big deal. Dallas has been trying to give games away, and been successful two out of the last three weeks, with Romo. Without him, they could be poised for a freefall...

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Brad Johnson will probably be able to handle the Rams in all likelyhood, but they probably aren't better than the Bucs or Giants even when Romo is healthy. I see us creating a two game lead on them in the standings going into our game against them, as long as we handle our business.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

With Romo out, the Dallas turnovers will be cut in half.

While Brad Johnson is aging, he's a suitable fill-in while Romo gets his finger taken care of. If anything, this should mean TO will get more looks in the offense...

What is poor Jessica going to do? :)

He's got 9 other fingers, I think she'll be fine.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Sucks for them, hopefully he's be rusty when he comes back to face the Skins.

While I agree that Brad Johnson is a suitable fill in, he isn't half the playmaker that Romo is. And the turnovers will most likely drop, but so will the scoring offense.

Or have some kind of effect on his throwing motion, like when Favre hurt his thumb and was off for like a whole year.

and 10 toes and a tounge too !:tongue:laughing2
wonder how long it will take for the:hitfan: indallas?

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

If Brad J does good, it could start a qb controversy of sorts there. I was reading the dallas press online after the game and tony was taking all sorts of heat.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

i think the ish is hitting the fan right now in the big D . . . glad the skins were the team that brought division and angst among them cowboys . . .

cowboy fans are pissed, romo's luck and that shit eater grin is wearing off, TO is starting to call people out, theyre losing, goddell is investigating pacman . . . i love it and its well deserved

oh and wade is gone next year if he even lasts this season, people rightfully want his head.

honestly a fight in the locker room would be the cherry on top.

go skins!

lol wheres sandtrapp to tell us TO has been a model citizen, romo is an all-pro qb and pacman so far has not been a distraction?

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

T.O. will now officially take over as team leadership

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Brad Johnson is obviously much, much less mobile than Romo, so those long gains on scrammble/breakdowns will disappear. But BJ will not make the mistakes that Romo makes, for what it's worth. He's still a good QB. But needless to say, this is a huge blow for the cowroids.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Just great, now they're a decent team. :D

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Sucks for him, and great for us.

But needless to say, this is a huge blow for the cowroids.[/quote]Johnson's numbers actually put him on the fringe of the hall of fame, though he's probably never going to get in because Trent Dilfer won't get in and most people in the media lack the ability to separate Dilfer's career from Johnson's (because they both won a super bowl).

But he's 41 now. Quarterbacks do tend to have a longer life in the NFL than anyone but kickers, but no Quarterback has been effective past age 38, and Johnson's last decent (half) season was 2005...when he was 38. He was awful in 2006.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

YAY! I see a Cowboy implosion on the radar soon. Right after they lose the next two games and TO starts crying to give him the ball.

Implode boys, implode.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Good For The Cowgirls "go Skins"

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

wait and see cause things like this could actually help a team .....

what am i talking about this is dallas afterall right carry on..carry on.

brad is still dangerous

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

I would never wish an injury like this on anyone....


... just kidding. F*ck Romo! Ha ha - that butt pirate! His pinkie - what a pu$$y injury! Ha ha! What a queercycle!

Dallas will be fine without him. Especially after they trade for Roy Williams and Lito Sheppard later today.

Wouldn't break my heart if they dropped a few games though.

i think it's worse for us.brad johnson has won play off games and a superbowl as qb,somethin romo has'nt come close to doing.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

I don't think Brad Johnson has much left in the tank. Having Romo out will definitely hurt their passing game.

but johnson is better at reading defenses,but he makes up for that by being less mobile.:twocents:

And don't forget his noodle arm. The countdown has begun til the next TO blowout over not getting the ball enough.

I could not really tell who's ear he was bending, BUT terrence was SERIOUSLY jawing non-stop on the sidelines. I got the impression that is was not good judging from some of the expressions on his teamates faces.
tick...tick.....tick....................BOOOOOOM!!!

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Felix Jones looks to be out a couple of weeks as well.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Too bad for the Boys. This really opens things up for the Skins. They need to win the next 2.

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

[quote=SmootSmack;489472]Felix Jones looks to be out a couple of weeks as well.[/quote]

So is their punter McBriar (6 to 8 weeks) with a fractured foot suffered during the punt block. The Cards inflicted some pain on the Boys.

[quote=irish;489482]Too bad for the Boys. This really opens things up for the Skins. They need to win the next 2.[/quote]

Next 3

Re: Romo out 4 Weeks
 

Yeah Felix Jones with a hamstring tear, and Matt McBriar who is a very good punter, has multiple fractures in his punting foot and will be put on IR.

Wow. This is really bad. I hate injuries so I'm certainly not cheering, but this could cost them games.

I smell 1-2 over that span, coming into Fedex with a 5-4 record. Wouldn't that be sweet?

My responses to your post:

1) Can we trade them Durant Brooks for a bucket of chicken and 10 minutes with the Cowboy cheerleaders? (Ok - 2 minutes)

2) Karma is a beee-atch! Hiring a team of criminals to win is bad karma in my book.

Karma is a beeotch. Kinda like that thug D-tackle (Ricky Jean-Francois) for LSU who said early lat week they were going to try to injure Tim Tebow. How'd that work out? Jean-Francois hurt his groin and couldn't play, and the Gators dropped half a hundred on the defending champs. Sorry, had to plug my Gators.

Anyway, looks like their 4th WR Sam Hurd will miss the rest of the season too.

Forgot to mention that they also lost Sam Hurd WR for the season (ankle injury).
