Romo says he will miss 8 weeks which is 7 Games

[MichaelWinicki]

vs. Atl
@ NO
vs. NE
bye
@NY.G
@Seattle
vs. Philly

I dont think 2-1 in both of those 3 game stretches is impossible. That puts as at 6-2 going into TB, getting Romo back before Miami.

Heck even coming out of that 4-4 isn't the end of the season.

If Dallas is leading the NFC East (or even close to it) when Romo and Dez come back... God have mercy on the rest of the East's souls.

 

[Risen Star]

Sounds about right.

Rodgers missed 8 weeks with the same injury so 7 weeks and a bye sound reasonable.

It depends on the location of the fracture but 6-8 is the usual recovery time.

And the Emmy for best performance in a comedy goes to....

Chip Kelly, the Philadelphia Eagles offense.

Funny you should say that. I told my wife it looked like Keystone Cop Game today.

And a well earned 'like' goes to you...

Philly's talking about Romo being out for the year. Any football fan with a functioning brain knows a broken clavicle in week 2 doesn't end your season unless there are complications.

That's wishful thinking on their part. The greatest offense in modern history with ex Cowboy DeMarco Murray just got beat by a team with no Tony and no Dez. Also, no Hardy and no McClain. They got to tell themselves something to stay sane (if that is even possible).

 

[reddyuta]

we can beat all those teams except new england if our D continues to play like this and remember we are getting Hardy,Ro and Gregory back soon.

For the players, yes. For the players.

Have faith. The D is ballin' this year. They'll get Hardy soon and even Gregory coming back will help. You can still win with a good D, running game and so-so QB.

 

[canters]

The season is a long one and the margin between the good and bad teams is thin,so anything is possible.
But the OL and running game are out of sink right now.....this has to be fixed.

Let me try to be optimistic here. This Cowboys defense looks like it can carry this team, and when Hardy and Ro-Mac come back, it'll be even more lethal.

And lets give Weeden a chance. This guy had 1st round pedigree. I think we've got to get last year's Arizona game out of our minds and let this guy show what he can do behind a great o-line.

And above all, Romo and Dez aren't out for the year. The Cowboys already have two wins in the bank; and playing .500 ball until they return could lead us to a 10-6 or better finish.

 

[Hoofbite]

Not really gonna count on anything this early. Hopefully it's a straight forward injury that doesn't require surgery.

You are right, but the Eagles are good vs. the run. Dallas struggled to run against them twice last year.

I love my Cowboys but I just dont see us beating the NYG and Philly again, Seattle in Seattle, NO, and the Pats with Weeden.

I really don't know what this post means?

If it requires surgery it could. That's why tomorrow or whenever he gets the x-rays is very important to know how bad it is.

 

[ctrous25]

Damn. But As soon as he did it I thought he'd be out that long. We just have to step up as a team. With hardy gregory and mccain coming back, this defense is formidable

They are already formidable .. when they come back we'll be tough ...very tough
