Twitter: MacMahon: Cowboys should use Romo as a closer in Giants game

[Risen Star]

So Weeden's the starting pitcher?

We'll be into our bullpen in the first inning.

 

[Risen Star]

We need to max protect as much as possible against the Giants. Having to play 4 days after really is asking a lot.

It'd be nice to build a comfortable lead and sit him but I highly doubt that's happening.

Relief? This isn't baseball. You don't know what you're talking about, Tim MacMahon.

This only confirms how much of an idiot Tim MacMahon truly is.

 

[big dog cowboy]

McMahon is off his rocker here

Yeah there is a newsflash.

 

[Staubacher]

This is the dumbest idea ever written. I'm stupider for having read it and McMahon should be fired, nay, jailed for this affront to humanity.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

This is, like, the dumbest article I've ever read.

 

[skinsscalper]

The entire idea is so stupid it doesn't even merit a second thought. Closer? Really? Tim you realize that a closer in the NFL is a back up that hands the ball off when you have a significant lead, right? First of all why would you bring Romo in as a "closer" if you've already got the lead, idiot? Risk him injuring himself in the 4th quarter of a game you're already winning? Just dumb on so many levels.

If you're going to play him, you play him. Pshh, closer. ******* idiot.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. As closer lol. This isn't college lol.

Here we go again, Romo is the starting QB and if he can go he should play simple as that. Dallas does not need to be saving players, if they can go out and produce then they need to be on the field.

I think Mac has it backward. We need to jump on NY early and pile up a lead so we can sit Romo for a chunk of the second half. The less JPP he has to see, the better.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

lol Mac boy tells jokes.

 

[dboyz]

Ideally we start Romo, bury Giants early and Romo can sit on the bench in the fourth quarter. I suspect Romo will get no practice in before Thanksgiving and then play on Thanksgiving. He is used to skipping Wednesday and practicing Thursday, so unless something worse happens in the Giants game, this should be doable.

 

[CATCH17]

Romo looked great Sunday.. Quit worrying about it until something happens.

My only problem is if we have a 24 point lead in the middle of the 4th quarter and Romo is still out there throwing passes.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Holy crap that's a dumb idea.

The Giants don't have much of a pass rush, as long as Smith deals with JPP. And Fewell is not really a guy who likes to blitz. I think this game comes down to the Cowboys not turning the ball over and the defense not laying an egg.
