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.
