* Tony Romo will try to do a little throwing this week, just as he said after the game Sunday night he would. But without the cast on at Giants Stadium, Romo tried tossing the ball around a little but still was having a difficulty gripping the ball and snapping it out of his hand. The end of this week will make four since he suffered the fracture to the little finger. By time the Washington game rolls around it will be five. Broken bones generally need six weeks to fully heal. This will be close.
* So demoting your backup quarterback to No. 3 means having to now find a new holder for place kicks when Romo returns. When the question was asked, I was thinking, well heck, the backup holder to Brad Johnson is Mat McBriar, and Nick Folk has told me several times about what a good job he does placing the ball down. When Wade Phillips started talking about Patrick Crayton and Sam Paulescu, it was like, duh, McBriar is out for the season with the broken bones in his kicking foot. See how you take what some guys do for granted?
* If the Commanders lose to Pittsburgh Monday night, that means other than the East-leading Giants (7-1) and the South-leading Panthers (6-2), no other NFC team will have less than three losses. That means the 5-4 Cowboys, as bad as all that seems right now, would only be one game behind two teams and a half behind another. There are losses to be passed out in this conference the rest of the way. Just got to make sure no more than two are handed to you.
