ESPN: Source: Lions QB Matthew Stafford out with broken bones in back

[Runwildboys]

Yep....getting ready to get steamrolled by dlaw, Quinn, and Bennett is not something you look forward to with broken bones in your back.

Truer words have rarely been spoken.

How did this thread turn into one bashing this team?

lol...most of them do!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

It would be weird for him to prioritize dallas over a division game. I think he misses next week too

+1....I'm not sure players see anything special about the Cowboys just because they're the Cowboys. Why should they?

 

[pugilist]

He’ll come back for Dallas and have a legendary game

 

[KJJ]

The Cowboys have lost to several back up QB’s over the years. Matt Flynn, Colt McCoy, Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater. Three of those QBs had career days against us.

He's a local highland park graduate. He'd be playing in front of a lot of old friends.

 

[Proof]

Who’s their backup

 

[Zman5]

Ehh not saying it can’t happen. But those defenses were bad

We went 12-4 and the Deadskins went 4-12 in 2014. We were clearly the better team that year yet we lost to a 3rd string QB at home.

 

[DallasDomination]

That's unfortunate for him because I've always liked Stafford. The Lions have indeed wasted prime years with Megatron and Stafford.

 

[KJJ]

RG3 beat us on one leg in and elimination game in 2013. Aaron Rodgers beat us on one leg in the playoffs in 2014. A month ago we lost to an INT machine who had been quarantined from his team for three weeks with a disease. Wouldn’t look good to lose to a QB who has broken bones in his back. We haven’t done well against backup QB’s and starting QBs with ailments.

That sucks. Hope Stafford gets well soon. There's life after football.

 

[Alexander]

This is very disappointing. I was looking forward to playing them at full strength!

 

[davey999]

Really? Have you ever had a back issue that resolved itself completely in a week?

Did I say a week?

 

[Runwildboys]

Did I say a week?

That's the time frame we're talking about in this thread.

 

[Kevinicus]

This "back problems always linger" is a major crock of bs.

Agreed. Many do, but it's soft tissue. Broken bones are usually good to go omce healed...And that's really anywhere in the body.

 

[Kevinicus]

lol now with stafford out this subtracts the lions game as credible if the cowboys win. the pessimists and trolls cant catch a break

 

[DFWJC]

They are sitting him against the bears.

back problems usually linger and the cowboys are next week.

Amazing 136 game starting steak comes to an end.

We went 12-4 and the Deadskins went 4-12 in 2014. We were clearly the better team that year yet we lost to a 3rd string QB at home.

after last nights game, I retract my statement lmao

He has fractures in his transverse processes. Romo missed 2 games with this exact same injury in 2014 I believe.
