A team who doesn't care about winning, and only cares about avoiding injuries, will rest all of its key players -- especially a pro-bowl quarterback who, this season, has performed better than any other QB in franchise history.

Also, let's not forget that Romo was sacked on the last play of the half attempting a hail-mary pass. That's pretty risky, and certainly not something a team does who cares more about avoiding injuries than winning the game.

I did not say I agreed with Romo playing. On the contrary, I did not think it wise.

That last play of the first half was just a dumb move by the Dallas coaches. At that point, Romo only needed one completion to break the franchise record, they were trying to give him that so he would not have to start the 3rd quarter. It was stupid to expose him like that. So he took the first series in the 3rd quarter, got his 1 completion he needed (to Witten) and then Romo was done for the day.

Piss poor playing conditions or not, I would like to have seen Nick Folk try a 54 yarder on that play.
