We need to rest Ezekiel Elliott, entire OL, Dak, and Dez

[Irvin88_4life]

And what happened the next game? 4 games played in 2 years and got injured in 2 of them.

He is wrong Miami never touched Romo in his 5 throws. The last 2 times Romo was hit he was injuried.....fact

 

[Irvin88_4life]

So you're changing your position now? Cause that's not what you said at first. Move the goalposts

I'm still waiting on you to show me where Romo took all these hits against Miami.........like I said the last 2 times Romo was hit he was injured

 

[stilltheguru88]

And if Zeke blows out his knee or Dez in a meaningless game. Would be all time dumb

No it'll be football/life.

Go to YouTube type in cowboys versus dolphins 2016 preseason. Watch Romo get blasted. Come back here with your tail between your legs and excuses

 

[robbieruff]

Thoughts?

I think you are not familiar with the limitations of a 53 man roster.

Man...you went easy on that one. Your restraint is admirable!?!

 

[StylisticS]

We are 2 games from the Super Bowl regardless of what happens the next 2 games and they need to coach like it.

I want to see Dak take more shots down field and I want to see our offense try some things that they normally wouldn't try.

Agreed. I was telling this exact same thing to a friend last night. Would be nice to see them take some shots down field to see if he can gain any confidence on doing that the playoffs loom.

Can't play scared. Zeke could also tear his ACL getting out of the shower. Should he not bathe til the SB?

I don't have a side in this disagreement as I am both a Dak and Romo fan. That said I did that, didn't see Romo get blasted, got hit once. What I did see... 4 penalty flags in the first 5 plays (3 holds on Dallas), and penalties on the first two punts. Good to see the refs are nothing if not consistent lol.

Also, what happened to THAT Alfred Morris? I want that version back.

Blasted may have been an exaggeration on my part, my point just was that he took a hit in the Dolphins game. That guy said it was a fact that the last two times Romo got hit he got injured and I was pointing out that wasn't accurate

So he took a hit. He couldn't take another one. He survived the dolphins game last year too and got knocked out by Carolina the following game. He's been knocked out in 2 straight seasons. Everytime he gets hit fans have to hold their breath hoping that he gets back up.

ezekiel Elliott for the next two games. Rest entire offensive line and defense. Put Sanchez in. I would only play Dez for the half and I wouldn't even study gametape of phila or Detroit now. Our entire focus should be playoffs, the pressure on us will be enormous. Thoughts?

No offense but you're insight into the game is about as bad as I've seen from anyone. If you rest Zeke, the entire OL and the defense the next two games they'll have three weeks off until they play again. Instead of being sharp and playoff ready in the divisional round most of the team will be trying to work off rust from a three week layoff. Get real!

 

[AsthmaField]

If I gave you my thoughts I'd be banned here.

If you got banned there would be riots in the streets that would make Bagdad look like Macey's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

OK, well... probably not. But I'd miss you.

Sort of.

 

[Eddie]

If we rest our starters, it will be almost a month before they play their next game. Expect another lose in the divisional game.

Rest NO one !! We play all out.

 

[AsthmaField]

What will happen is that Monday will played as a normal game except that those that are injured - no pressure to play. IF and big IF there was a blowout either way, Romo MAY come in at end for a Cowboy goodbye at home. Then on 1/1, many starters play a half, Zeke plays 2 series. Remember this team this year as not played well after extended time off. Though I am happy for a bye, it will force them to play starters longer to keep sharp.

Glad your team beat NY for us. Thanks man.

The Giants losing last night might turn out to be the worst thing that could have happened if we decide to fold tent until the playoffs. We can't afford to start looking ahead and kiss off these last two games as meaningless or we could end up staggering into the playoffs. We have a chance to set a franchise record with 14 wins and we need to treat these last two games as tune ups for the playoffs. If players start mentally shutting it down the next couple of games that could lead to injuries and poor play. We just got back on track last week and we need to stay on track and finish this season on a positive note.

so you are going to stop doing the process that got us here. then just flip the switch back on in 3 weeks like it's a piece of electronic equipment?

what could go wrong? /sarcasm

I agree with you... but no worries. That ain't gonna happen.

Garrett will have them playing ball just like always minus a couple of guys nursing injuries who might have played if they needed the wins.

You're funny

You're funny

Thanks. That means a lot coming from you.

Have a great Christmas.

This is the NFL and you want to go into the playoffs on a winning note. Ask Belichek if he worries about his guys getting hurt in the last couple of game in the regular season.

Yes this is the NFL and yes should ask Bill Belichick. Go ahead ask. In short he believes health is more important than meaningless wins.
