Let's keep karma on our side and not hope than anyone has a bad injury.

No, see, the way I see it -- Karma owes us one. One of our star defensive players has been out because of a hammy, so Karma naturally keeps one of their star offensive players is out because of a hammy.

See? No problem! All is right in the universe!

As much as I hate to say it Romo deserves a lot more respect for playing through Sunday's game with a punctured lung. That's a gutsy performance. It also probably means we'll be playing against Kitna on Monday night.

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....

Normally, the pressure in the lungs is greater than the pressure in the pleural space surrounding the lungs. However, if air enters the pleural space, the pressure in the pleura then becomes greater than the pressure in the lungs, causing the lung to collapse partially or completely. Pneumothorax can be either spontaneous or due to trauma.

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.

Tension pneumothorax may be the immediate result of an injury; the delayed complication of a hidden injury, such as a fractured rib, that punctures the 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

NFL.com

"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."

[SBXVII]

Again from NFL.com

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.

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.

[GusFrerotte]

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.

[skinsfaninok]

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

[SkinzWin]

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

[budw38]

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

[Bucket]

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



It would be game over
