Romo expected to play against Eagles

[Aven8]

Well awesome, this game is going to be a lot funner to watch now!! 14 wins is back on the table folks.

 

[Doomsday101]

I would, Philly had no incentive last week against the Giants yet they played hard & won and the Cowboys are their most hated rival who they'd love nothing more than to end their disappointing season with a win against.

They have nothing to lose by playing everyone (except for the rare catastrophic injury) and Wentz needs all the reps he can get. I see them going balls out and if given the chance, I think Philly would pour it on.

If Dallas was somehow able to jump on them quickly by 21+ points, then maybe the quit would start to show in the giggles but I'd be really surprised if that happened

Philly had an incentive of not letting NY clinch a spot on their field.

i doubt that in my opinion. the eagle players are not going to try and hurt romo in a game that counts nothing. last game of the year and there is nothing to gain now for the eagles to hurt anyone. most of those guys just want to get out of the game healthy and enjoy the offseason.

Tell that to Michael Irving. Eagles always want to bust up the Cowboys.

 

[xwalker]

He can't if Sanchez is going to play.

Why? They can have 3 QBs active.

 

[MRV52]

I'm not worried for him. I'm worried for the loss of trade value.

Trade value if you don't play him will be even worse. Have to showcase him, and knowing Romo he will light it up.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Interesting, so this is Tony's move.

What baby wants, baby gets. No one puts baby in a corner.

Tony probably already ripped the coms microphone out of his helmet heh

 

[MRV52]

Because of 3 things primarily:

He loses his trade value if he plays poorly or gets hurt again

It affects the salary cap negatively in some way, can't remember how

"Qb controversy"

Once again his trade value at the moment is next to nothing. Are you going to trade for a 36 year old quarterback that you don't know if he can take a hit? You guys have it all wrong he has to play to increase his trade value.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Well, there goes any trade value we might of had. I hope he realizes this could end his career.

If he's really 1 snap away from his career ending...It doesn't matter if the snap is in a Dallas uniform or another uniform.

Linehan I can't hear you!!!

 

[mrmojo]

I'd rather play as normal and if were up going into the 2nd half then put him in. If we're down, do they still put him in knowing we would need to pass to get back it game and the Eagles would have their ears pinned back coming at him?

Going to be interesting and a must see.

Is that a rhetorical question? I didn't say I believed that. You asked "why do people" I just gave you the answer you were looking for.

Golly gee thanks. Now I have that nonsense bouncing around my skull! Now I... had... the time of my liffffffe!

*Like* for the Dirty Dancing reference. Fav show. lol

 

[Sportsbabe]

You're right...just a day or two ago, "sources" were reporting that Romo wouln't play at all and that Sanchez would get all the plays after Dak was done. These "sources" are maddening. There ought to be a law that reporters can't use "according to sources" in their reporting. If you're going to put something out there, be willing to take the heat if you're wrong rather than relying on "sources" to take the heat for you. You are, after all, taking their info, if it really exists.

When will y'all learn about hanging on every word of these writers and their sources.

Off-conversation mini-rant:

The observations of Romo Is Fragile commenters reminded me of what devoted safe drivers say--folks who do EVERYTHING humanly possible to avoid accidents they complain are committed by careless drivers--and one day BAM! They end up rear ending somebody. Irony at it's best.

I'll believe whatever happens (with respect to our QBs vs. the Eagles) only when I see it actually happening. I've seen and heard so many conflicting media reports about which QBs to expect in that game that it makes my head spin. At this point, it's nothing short of ridiculous.

 

[LandryFan]

Oh, Miss Babe, believe me when I say that I hardly hang my hat on anything they report...especially when "sources" are involved!

 

[Plankton]

Tell that to Michael Irving.
