Romo out for the season *merge*

[Aikmaniac]

Hope he doesn't have the same problems Troy did later in his career.

He will play if he can...we all know that.

 

[Sasquatch]

Oh Ziggy, will you ever win?

 

[khiladi]

Too many emotions right now...

 

[visionary]

Whooppeeeee!!!

signed

Jason Garrett

only thing that could save his job

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

Not sure if this is a hedge on ESPN's part or just pure stupidity, it's hard to tell with them.

Kyle Orton likely will now get the start against the Eagles.

 

[Falcon554]

who cares at this point, did anyone not see this coming, JG gets a pass!!!! God kill me the f now!!!

 

[JBell]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[CowboysLegend365]

Cowboy up Kyle!

 

[Playmaker247]

If he was able to tough it out and finish the game without even sitting a possession then let him play

 

[Flinger]

Never did think Garrett was going to be fired. Now, this cinches it.

No way Jones fires Garrett with all of these injuries. He did a great job of getting this bunch of wounded warriors to the big game for the division. Now, their field general goes down.

If we lose this weekend, the reason we lose the division is now evident for all to see - it is injuries...

If we win this weekend, Garrett is the reason..

Although I believe Jones was going to keep him, no matter what happens this weekend. Now, Jones gets to save face...

Romo hasn't looked right the last few games. I wonder if he's had a nagging injury we are unaware of.

Romo said his back, which was sore coming into Sunday's victory over the Washington Commanders, troubled him after a hit in the first half.

 

[bigdnlaca]

Problem with that is that Philly knows we're gonna be focusing on the run, and will adjust accordingly. I think we should actually surprise them a bit and pass frequently.

And the Eagles will also put 8 or 9 in the box. Orton can't get the ball down the field.

I agree. Orton needs to pass but I think we will see plenty of curls, drags, slant routes, with some reverses, and maybe a flea flicker. It is a tough task, but we do have playmakers that can turn a 4 yard pass into 80 yards. It's up to Orton to get it to them.

On defense, maybe Dallas will play with more intensity because the offense possibly can't bail them out.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I don't watch or read BSPN.

Well I'm sure you don't. That tag leads you to a bankers site and you can't get in without a password.

 

[LucaBrasi]

When Romo went out in 2010, I can remember clear as day Jerry excusing the loss at home against Jax because Cowboys mentally had lost their qb the week before. I hope he shuts his mouth this week. This really sucks, but they need to rally around Orton.

 

[TheSport78]

I have no hope with doing anything in the playoffs, but the Eagles DID just lose to Matt Cassel two weeks ago.

@fishsports: Source not yet confirming @AdamSchefter Romo OUT report, but is telling me 'torsion' DOES tie to cyst/disc/spine surgery. #cowboys

 

[Coy]

Nope. Now Jerry has the excuse to keep this staff. Not good.

That would be a nightmare.

 

[mugsybows]

Welp. i think im gonna be sick

 

[maxdallasfan]

Yep, another opponent missing a key starter for the Eagles just to add to their hype machine.

How will the media spin this one? Perhaps suggest that Romo was afraid to play the Eagles?
