I’m not normally a big naysayer, but Romo is mobile and he’s getting crushed. Johnson is a statue. This is going to be Bledsoe all over again.

Heal fast Tony. Heal fast.

we’re in big trouble and Cowboys fans will soon find out how good Romo truly is. If we’re 5-4 at our bye it will be a miracle.

turn the ball over a little less with Brad at the helm. Of course, I seriously doubt we’re going to score much either. This is the kind of thing where a team would usually have their D step up and carry the team through the stretch. Unfortunately, our D doesn’t step up much. It just steps back.

at going 4-2 over the next six games. If they play ball control, solid defense and cut out all the ridiculous special teams errors they can be 8-4 heading into december with a legit shot at the playoffs and a bye.

Well be lucky to be .500 in 5 weeks.

where art thou?

I just finished reading 150 comments that said Romo sucks and wasn’t leading the team. What an opportunity to get out from under that deadweight, deadbeat QB. Bring on the Brad Johnson era.

that was a fun season while it lasted.

Damn it, I KNEW I shouldn’t have had such a good time at Tom Brady’s expense.

we’ll be screwed either way.

This could be worse. Brad Johnson will not start for the cowboys, Jerry will pull something in the next 24 hours, believe me. He is working the phones like Omar Minaya, he will acquire something better than Brad Johnson.

One truth is clear, whatever is, is right.

I’ve been down on this team for obvious reasons as of late. Some of those that weren’t panicking before now seem to be. After some thought, I’m reversing my view on how I see this team as this may be exactly what they need. Now is the perfect opportunity for this team to rally together, which is exactly what I think this team has been lacking. The fire hasn’t been there and now they have a golden opportunity to join together and fight with all they’ve got.

I’m not saying this to be positive or hopeful, I’m saying this because for the first time this season I actually have a gut feeling that this just might be the missing spark plug we’ve been missing.

has not been playing well as of late. I think this team might need a change at QB to reignite this offense.

dun dun dun…

But it’s now over.

are our RB’s. Both of them are great receivers. “Check down” Brad Johnson could put up big numbers with this personnel.

pro bowl QB, but it would be a much different story if our o-line could block 4 rushers. Especially on Romo’s blind side where he was hit from all day long. Lets hope our defense can start getting some more turnovers. But hey look at the bright side at least Brad’s 40 year old arm will be fresh, at least for a week.

I didn’t think it could get worse than this.

And the hypocrisy on this blog is just amusing. Last night Romo was a chump, and now everyone’s crying because he’s out.

Could it get any worse? Let’s just pray that in the next 4 weeks T.O. doesn’t blow up….

I think Dallas needs to concentrate on becoming a more efficient, mistake free team. Hard to do that when Romo fumbles every single time the offense is backed up towards their end zone.

I woke up this morning (before hearing of this injury) ready to pack away my Romo jersey until he could go a game w/o a turnover.

I think we see why the team brought in Bollinger. He may not play this season, but having a quality back-up is key.

Miles Austin may be the one who benefits the most from this. It appeared Brad and Miles developed some Chemistry in the pre-season..

Our D is going to have to step, we are going to be playing the field postion game.

This may open TO up more, because please believe teams will be stacking the box, and forcing Brad to throw..

Johnson is going to need all the help he can get.

Will it be too late by then?

I think we will be ok, but the offense line will have to be the MVP for the next 3 weeks.

When Aikman was out with a concussion and Peete got hurt? We thought the season was OVER.

Then Jason Garrett steps in and wins some games, keeps the season alive. Think he still can put the pads on?

Brad, Frerotte, or Cassel…hmm…

I guess it’s the same no matter where you go.

After a loss, you see all kinds of names that you don’t normally see, spouting doom, gloom, and misery.

Gotta love the internet.

If you criticize the play of Romo, which I think is entirely justified over the past few weeks, you’re now someone who doesn’t want him to be the QB? How did that happen? Yeah, I’ve been criticizing Romo, but that doesn’t even remotely mean I wanted him out and Brad Johnson in. In my case, that’s so absurd I didn’t even think about that prospect. I’ve also criticized the defense, the offensive line, the play-calling and a host of other things. When a team loses 2 out of 3 and scrapes by with a win over a team with no wins, I can’t turn a blind-eye and pretend everything is OK.

What’s with all this naysayer, complainer, whiner crap? I don’t remember saying one thing about this team’s season being over, all I’ve said is they have to improve. And I think that’s what I’ve read from a lot of other people on this blog. I hate a blog or forum where criticizing the play of the team is frowned upon. If you think the criticism is unwarranted, that’s OK, but why are you so determined to make us stop, or try to paint us as some kind of idiots or malcontents for saying it?

Methinks you doth protest too much.

I don’t know what to say. This team either pulls its head out of its collective ass or it drowns right here. It could be the push in the right direction they needed, or it could tear this thing apart.

But I agree that Romo hasn’t been playing great, but I see some members saying that he has been terrible. What I see is not terrible; not great, but certainly not terrible. I don’t think that these members want to see Romo out of the game, but I do think that this will provide a little reality check. I think we got pretty spoiled by the out-of-this-world play of Tony last season and now that he has leveled off a bit, they think that he sucks. Like was said earlier, the amount of criticism heavily outweighs the relatively poor play of Romo.

that some QBs could be able to play with such an injury, but Romo relies heavily on his pinkie finger for accuracy, moreso than an arm-thrower (like Bledsoe) would.

He said that this is something Dallas wants to be careful with in bringing him back, so it doesn’t get worse and end up affecting his whole year, his career even!

is that Romo was primarily the reason this team has won the 4 games they have won and everyone will see how truly missed he’ll be over the next month. People that say Romo is overrated are either haters or know nothing about football. He is just as important to the Cowboys success as Brady or Manning are to the Pats and Colts. I’m not saying he’s better or just as good as those QBs, but he’s definitely as important to our success, no question.

If the team plays the way they have been playing, especially the OL, the only game we have a chance of winning before Tony returns is next week against the Rams. If Brad doesn’t turn the ball over, we’ll have a shot. Turnovers is the reason the Rams beat the Skins BTW. Brad might committ less mistakes than Romo…maybe…but he’s certainly not going to make the plays Tony will. Brad is a manager, Tony is a playmaker. If we average more than 17 pts per game with Romo out, I’ll be shocked.

The TB and Giants games are automatic losses IMO unless the team, OL, defense and ST really step up their game and play better.

you can stick a fork in this season, the off season needs to be a real clean out, this is a team of players but not a TEAM, the head coach needs to go for sure, they need to trade for or draft a QB to back up ROMO , Brad Johnson is a nice guy, but he is not a 4 game QB

hurd having ankle surgery as we speak that was a costly loss in the desert boys.

From Mickey:

So you thought bad just got worse with Tony Romo now out likely a month with a non-displaced fracture of his right little finger. Well, it’s really worse that that. Cowboys rookie running back Felix Jones is getting an MRI on the strained hamstring he suffered in the 30-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but from preliminary indications he will be out at least two weeks.

McBriar had to be carted off the field, and he’s on crutches at Valley Ranch today. He just sent me a text saying that he’s awaiting the results of an MRI and will let us know when he finds out something.

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfceast/0-4-88/Update-on-McBriar-s-right-leg.html

We still could lose him for a game to due to a suspension. I think I read we should know by Wednesday whether or not Goodell is going to do something.

(Of course if he does get suspended, we do get an extra draft pick from Tennessee, or maybe it is a higher one, I don’t remember…)

But after reading some of the stuff here, I guess you detractors will get what you are asking for!

How quickly we forget the character of this team under Bledsoe.

Fools

3 games plus the bye, and when he comes back, Felix, Newman, Spencer, Roy, and others should be back and healthy also. It will give him time to watch the game from the sideline and study more, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Johnson will likely go 1-2 in his 3 starts, same as Romo in his last 3. They’ll be 5-4 and poised for that late season run that everyone thinks will magically happen. Except instead of it happening for no reason, they will actually have a catalyst now, like when Bob Sanders came back for the Colts.

…but I can’t be, you guys are missing Felix Jones and Romo and I’m sure that “most” Philadelphia Eagle fans feel for you guys. I don’t mind Romo being made to look bad, or him throwing interceptions or getting sacked, BUT, I don’t want to see him or your other player get injured. If you fall behind now because of this it’s going to be terrible and would make any victory over you bittersweet because of your injuries.

Still, a broken finger is much better than a knee or the infamous “sports hernia”. I wish you fellas the best of luck. And I’m sorry that this happened now when things in the NFC East are starting to heat up. This sucks, and we as Eagles fans have been there…over and over and over again.
