Romo says he will miss 8 weeks which is 7 Games

[windward]

Not to pour cold water on it but...18 - 33 .... 183 yds... 1 TD 2 INTs

That was Weeden's last outing, where he was obvious in staring down receivers and telegraphing where the ball was going. Granted it was a tight Arizona defense, it hardly predicts that the Cowboys will be "fine" for the next 7 games. That said, it seems that whereever this team ultimately ends up will be determined largely by a suddenly stingy defense that looks to get even better once Gregory, Hardy and McClain return. They will surely need them at MetLife. Getting ATL and NO back to back would set them up nicely until Romo heals. Lose both and suddenly the remaining five games become a dog-fight for the playoffs...maybe the division will be as bad as it was in 2013, but there always seems to be at least one team that will push the Cowboys at the end...lately it has been the Eagles.

Weeden's last outing was 7-7 for 73 yards 1 Td and 0 Ints

We probably wouldn't have won either game with Weeden as a starter. Which is the problem.

We wouldn't have won either game with Weeden as a starter, cut your teeth on that one. Nothing amazing about that.

You can't possibly know that.

 

[manster4ever]

yep...plus, didn't he break the same bone in 2010? If so, that could slow healing too

I need cheering up. I'm going to go troll the Eagles fan board to feel better.

LOL...please report back here on their misery. The more the merrier

I disagree on Atlanta. Just like us they are 2-0 with stretches of good and bad play.

They can be run on and we can do a better job on Julio than the NYG and PHI did.

I think we win next week by 10-13 points

Atlanta actually could have lost today

 

[Doomsay]

You can't possibly know that.

Actually, you can.

 

[windward]

Actually, you can.

No you really can't, unless you can peer into alternate universes.

Sure hope this isn't his exact injury:

A distal clavicle fracture where the bone breaks nearer the shoulder at the acromioclavicular joint occurs in approximately 15% of injuries. These fractures take longer to heal and are more prone to non union.

 

[SultanOfSix]

I don't even know what the hell that means.

Actually it did help quite a bit. The Eagles fans are jumping off the bridge. They're jealous cuz we still have a better qb in weeden then they do in Bradford. O yeah, the big FA signing of Murray is on pace for a 100 yard season. Not to mention their horrible CB's. I might ruffle the feathers (pun intended) and post a pro Chip Kelly topic. They hate him and his decision making and everything about him. Some lifelong Eagles fans are saying this is the most disgraceful team they've ever seen. Ha, there is someone in the world who feels worse than me right now.

WIP will be on from 6am to 12pm so I can listen to mad eagles fans. Then I will listen to the FAN from 1pm to 5pm to hear Giants fans

No you really can't, unless you can peer into alternate universes.

You mean a universe where terrible quarterbacks can actually perform? I don't think that is the NFL universe. You can't compile recent Weeden statistics that would suggest that he would have been able to win either game as a starter.

Nice, I forgot about the Giants losing today. I love passionate Philly fans losing their minds. That Philly team is not mentally tough like ours. Losing to us at home with holding Murray to 2 yards on 9 carries AND with Romo going out is going to have the wheels come off in that locker room.

 

[mldardy]

I don't understand. Didn't they x-ray him in the locker room? Wouldn't they know if it's a spiral fracture now. What's so special about tomorrow's x-ray?

I think that might have been preliminary and another one will be done tomorrow. i don't know keep in mind it is the FAN.

Look, bro. If you want to expect the worst to protect your feelings, go ahead. Other people aren't obligated to join you.

 

[CCBoy]

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.

And with improvements in both the defense and the running game, it is possible to be even stronger than this projects upon their returns.

Without observing that game, the potential observer only knows that the Cowboys won lost or tied the hypothetical game.

 

[windward]

Additionally, Quincy Carter won 10 games in 2003, so yes. Terrible QBs can and do win games in this league.

Hey "bro" make a reasonable case for Weedon winning the last two games as a starter and then get back to me, that's your only obligation in this conversation.

 

[utrunner07]

I don't even know what the hell that means.

It means Johny Walker Blue is back, baby!

 

[CCBoy]

I don't even know what the hell that means.

Yea, for sure...and the cricket says to quit looking at his ***!
