The Next 6-8 weeks

[romothesavior]

So many conflicting emotions right now. On the one hand, we're 2-0, while Philly and NYG are both 0-2. On the other hand, we're down Romo and Dez for big stretches of time.

I'm obviously no doctor and I'm not privy to the Cowboys' medical information, but if things go like they're supposed to, Romo and Dez will likely both be out 6-8 weeks (give or take, depending on recovery times). That means we're going to be without those two for most of these games:

Week 3: vs. ATL
Week 4: @ NO
Week 5: vs. NE
Week 7: @ NYG
Week 8: vs SEA
Week 9: vs. PHI
Week 10: @TB

We just need to stay afloat. Weeden actually looked somewhat serviceable today, and our defense has looked stout so far this season. If we can scrap our way to .500 over that stretch, we'll be looking at something like 6-3 or 5-4 heading into the back stretch of the season, and (hopefully) will have a near-full strength team for the first time all year with RoMac, Gregory, and Hardy back as well.

Obviously losing Romo for a long stretch is not ideal, and he could end up being out longer than expected which would make all this moot. But the season is not over. We can do this.

Get to the NE game at 3-1 or 4-0/

 

[TRUTH87]

out of those games i see us winning atlanta, phi and tb.

 

[Doomsay]

Weeden can make passes in a complete game.

 

[Gaede]

The good news is that the defense looks great.

On all levels. DL, LB and DBs are all playing very well

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

2-5 makes us a game outta .500 with Romo and Dez, Hardy, McClain plus Gregory. Lots of experience for the rest of the squad.

I think we win @ NYG too. We straight up dominated them in every facet of the game last week.

Just wake me up after Thanksgiving........Forever Young

 

[skinsscalper]

If you read Tony's lips when Witten came up to him he said "6 to 8". Ughh, this sucks.

 

[The Natural]

These next 2 games are very winnable, and just as I said after Dez went down I'm not conceding any losses.

6-4 when romo and dez get back. ill take it

 

[mattjames2010]

We've won two divisional games, and we all know the Commanders will end the year with a losing record. Both Giants and Eagles are now 0-2.

As long as the rest of the division continues to stink it up, we'll have a shot once Romo is back.

6-8 is better than out for the year.

[TheCoolFan]

Keep Romo and Dez out for as long as possible. No need to rush them back. Let Weeden show what he can do, for better or worse

 

[skinsscalper]

6-8 is better than out for the year.

It is, for sure, but man we can't catch a freakin break and it's only week 2!

 

[TrailBlazer]

I could see us winning 3 of the next 7. We just gotta be around .500 heading into late november/early December when romo comes back. Need to physically dominate guys up front.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I understand these schedule projections but I hate them at the same time. Today's game is a perfect example why. We were heavy dogs today WITH Romo. Every week is it's own entity. I choose to simply focus on how we can band together and figure out how to beat Atlanta. Anything beyond that and I'll give myself a headache.

 

[Aven8]

Kellin Moore as the starter soon I hope.

Weeden is a reliever, not a starter. This sucks bigtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The NFCE is going to be bad. Washington has a shot.

If we can win 3 out of the next 7 games....that puts us at 5-4 going down the stretch , get Romo back, Get Dez back, Hardy, Ro, Gregory.....

It aint over................ win the East, get rolling right about playoff time....

It aint over!!!
