Romo expected to play against Eagles

[Doomsday101]

Oh don't be naive, that's impossible..

lol. I tend to think coaches have more say with Jerry than most here think. No doubt Jerry and Stephen both have a big say in players brought in to the team but when it comes to what is taking place on the field and who is in and who is out I fully believe that is the HC call.

Likewise. I consider any news report containing unnamed sources as dubious until proven otherwise unless they were made for security reasons of a personal or community nature.

....and any news that begin "the Dallas Cowboys...."

Oh now jerry gets the hush mouth

If Romo plays, I assume it is because Romo wants to play and asked to be allowed to play so he can audition for next year. Nothing else would make much sense. And if Romo wants to play, then that means he wants to play somewhere else next year. I expect teams to be interested, especially Buffalo, Miami, NYJ, Denver, Chicago, Minn, Jax, AZ, and Houston to name a few (actually 1/3 of the league would be interested). Romo would help sell out tickets for all of the previously mentioned teams except Denver.

No one could make up this lunacy if they tried.

Jones has already said Romo won't play. Owner/General Manager/King Louie is on record.

Schefter and Rapaport claim UNNAMED sources say Romo will play. Lineman? Prescott? The Janitor? Scooby Doo? Who knows?

Phillips quotes Garrett, who confirms nothing. The head coach is non informative (me likely) but on record.

My money's on Secret Squirrel and the gopher from Caddyshack as the unnamed sources.

If that happened, half of this board would be absolutely devastated. Even more so than they are now that they have found out that Romo is actually going to play.

Who would be devastated that Tony didn't get injured? I think I get your point, but it seems a bit of a stretch.

I couldn't care less how much Sanchez and Romo play, nor who's on the field with them, starters or backups.
They are both professional football players. You aren't supposed to get hurt just because you get knocked down.

My guess is Dak gets the first quarter, Romo the second quarter, Sanchez the second half. If Romo gets hurt when he's supposedly 100% healed, then all the trade talk should cease, and he should retire. Next year, it's the Dak and Sanchez show with a third QB on the practice squad.

Agree. If Tony gets hurt from participating in a football play...I'm sure he wants to know that. I would want to know that.

 

[kramskoi]

Against Phillys d line?

Well, eventually he has to face some team's defensive line...better to know what you got...or don't got...so you can get Sanchez ready if need be.

Nope tony is on the sauce. The source is the liquor store guy!

 

[Plankton]

My only question is what did the liquor store guy say?

I think Romo made his desire to play elsewhere crystal clear when he made The Statement.

 

[SDCowboy]

Makes sense. It allows him to, hopefully, get get to finish is tenure here on an uninjured high-note, and showcase for his next team.

So sick of hearing about Tony Romo. He's the freakin' backup QB now. Dak is the starter and should be the league MVP, but it seems like Romo continues to get more press.

The Romo era can't be over soon enough for me.

 

[DallasEast]

Wait. Gosh darn it. I almost got sucked.

Clicked on the link and a blog publishes an article on Schefter's handiwork earlier tweet. Thank you Bill Parcells.

Romo was better than Staubach.

It is a stretch and a bit on the sarcastic side, but you know what I mean.

 

[DallasEast]

I've almost gotten to the point of buying and shipping Schefter and Rapoport a pair of Galaxy Note 7's to tweet with.
