Why Do We Annouce Injuries So Early?

[Quarterback Coach]

Why would we mention that Barber is not playing. He is listed as questionable, and that is ALL that the NFL requires.

Why tip your hand. Play a little gamesmanship Wade and make the opponent think until the last moment when you annouce the inactives.

I hate the guy, but maybe copying a few things the hoodie up in New England does might not be a bad idea...

Well, Barber wasn't on the plane. I'm sure the mediots would've noticed that anyway.

It's called an airplane. Every team that doesn't fly a guy to a game announces it early. Not just our stupid front office.

Okay...can't you put him on the plane?

Help me...is this not allowed? Make them think is all I am asking...

 

[Hostile]

Why would you? That is a waste of money.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Agreed, why should he even make the trip when he needs to be back for next week? Kind of pointless.

 

[Rampage]

Why would you? That is a waste of money.

but our owner is Jerry Jones

the team is worth over 1 billion (i think)...i am sure they can afford one more seat on the charter...and a day ro so of per diem.

Thank goodness. Anywho...

This is a ridiculous thread. This is how things are done for every team. Trying to "blame" anyone is asinine and pointless.

He needs to keep it elevated. He's not going to play. Not going to dress out. There is no need for him to go. There is however a need for him to keep his foot elevated and receive treatment here daily. Which he wouldn't get taking an unnessary trip out of town. I would have insisted he stay for therapy. Maybe they can get him back for the NY game. Or the one after.

Yep.

And frankly, this game is not as important as the next one. We need to win next week vs. the Giants much more than we need to win this one. Plus, all those Choice fans are getting their wish and I hope the kid goes off.

(TEXAS Cowboy fans ******!)

they must turn in their players whoare eligible for the game on Fridays to get to 47. Or they use to do that. Then announce the other 2 a few hours before the game to get to 45.

You need to elevate a dislocated toe?

This answer (if true) is what i can live with. That's why I was asking for help on this one...

 

[big dog cowboy]

Given the obvious severity of MBIII's injury, I can't see where the Stealers would have much to gain by announcing he wouldn't play if we had announced that last Monday.

To OP:

You start the most ridiculous threads...

Yeah but maybe they could had a Marion Barber look alike on the plane...maybe they could have purchased a MB fathead and glued it to someone and had him walk off the plane.

You just never think outside of the box.
