Twitter: Romo took shot to return to game; has back contusion

Romo is going to be one hit away the rest of his career. We just need to deal with that.

noone has ever doubted his toughness and willingness to lay it on the line. Still don't like the decision to bring him back in. Sadly I doubt Garrett had a choice. Jerry clearly gave his .02 to Garrett on the sidelines and Romo argued with the doctor until he finally gave in.

Despite the fact that they say it's a contusion (bruise), I'm still worrying it's the disk issue.

they said its not structural . Would a disk issue show up as structural damage?

That is beyond ridiculous, we got outcoached and ouplayed, that's all there is to it.
Kudos to the Commanders, although I have to say it, I freacking hate that team

Well hindsight is 20/20 but it's clear now that weedon was a better choice than romo at that time. And I think a lot of folks felt that way before romo went in.

You saw him trying to force his way in and he did.

He'll be done for the year by Wednesday.....

And we'll still win 11!!

I'm just really having a hard time with romo getting back in the game.

I'm fairly certain weedon could have finished the game or ot with more success.

I just don't get it. It's like tony didn't want weedon to come in and have success

It's the coaches fault. He has to say no.

no, he will need an mri

You have to be ******** me...

 

[Oh_Canada]

He should have done what's best for the team and sat and once he almost cost the team in regulation the coach should have made the decision for him.

I think so, since disks support the spine.

Apparently not since he's taken about 30 hard shots already this year and still playing

Just read that too. I hope fans realize how vital this man is to our team.

Nobody who watched Tony come back in the 4th Q can honestly believe that Weeden wasn't a better option in overtime. Watch the trainer and Dr. (I think) look incredulously at Tony on the sidelines after he trotted back on the field from the locker room. No coach should have allowed that, but I doubt Garrett was even in the conversation.

I wish there had been a drought on this stuff like there was on the lethal injection juice in the summer. #ourhero

He was so stiff when he came back in. Tough SOB, but he might've cost us by coming back when he was less than healthy. Looked like a mummy stepping up in the pocket. You really have to wonder what would've happened had they stuck with Weeden. Seemed like Washington was caught off guard. Plus Weeden was just sticking with the plays called and not getting caught in Haslett's games like Romo.

It's only a bad decision when it doesn't work. the other times he came back in and won the game it seemed like the right thing to do then. If he hit Witten up the middle when was open, we would be having a different discussion. sometimes it just doesn't work out in your favor. Me personally, I am more upset about what happened in the first half moreso than what happened in OT. We should have made the skins quit after pounding the ball down their throats...yet we refused to do that. I think Linehan got cute and tried to over think this game with all of the play action on second down, when we should have run the ball until they could stop us. Anytime you can play down hill you should.

 

[Gameover]

The singlemost frustrating part of losing.

I think they beat us

That's another reason to let weedon play and finish the game for some experience.

 

[punchnjudy]

Holley said he needed help getting down from the podium. Feels like one of those situations that will turn into a "game time decision," but who knows.

They saw results were negative and JJ went to the sideline and had his words about it. I just hope it is a contusion and that's it.

 

[Doomsay]

C'mon. Romo is a fierce competitor and this isn't the first time he's come in hurt. Recall the 49ers game with the collapsed lung and the Commanders game last year where he threw the game winning pass with a busted back.

Ok - maybe in the 4th quarter - but not in OT.
