He should have run with it at that point, but oh well.

and simply dare Johnson to beat them and if the OL doesn’t step up their play, we’re going to see a lot of ugly football over the next several weeks.

I just hope the Rams are a little content in their first win and play against us like they have the first 5 weeks. It might be our only chance at a “W” until Romo and company heal up.

I think I read somewhere (maybe the DMN blog) that that was a big reason that we drafted Folk, because he also has the ability to punt. If so, that might be a pretty decent option.

I went to work and didnt listen to the radio because of BSPN. I get home and all hell has broken lose. Tony out a month. Felix for two weeks.

Watch Pacman get suspended tommorrow.

We need a bye week.

He said he is planning on practicing wednesday

I got out for 3 hours, I come back, and another player is out for significant time!

Wow. Just Wow.

I am officially depressed now.

and Felix Jones won’t be back until after the bye week……

Hurd will be placed on IR…….

Now we will have a reason for being a medicore team…..

they will need to place him on IR to make room for another kicker.

Jerry needs make a trade….

Jerry should be shot if he does this.

Probably more PFT garbage.

Nice.

Who fills it ya think? Jefferson is still on suspension. Do we call up Amendola or try and find a veteran out there to sign?

Time to buy another 18 pack, 30 pack and handle of jack

The MNF crew is having a good time hating on the Cowboys, now you fellas understand my nick.

Speaking of drinking and football… these fellas are always in my town drinking on Saturday nights at the local bars. Emmitt and Ditka are regulars at my local bar.

He is a hater, he wanted to play football and his buddy Bill wouldn’t even give him a job with the ONCE-lowly Fins.

I’d like to see someone on the cowboys rally the club for a “TEAM ON 3” chant…

yeah it’s all a major bummer. but injuries happen. it’s part of the game. the measure of a team is how it overcomes injuries, how the backups step up, and the rest of the team and the coaching adjusts and compensates. that’s why we traded for Pac and got two CBs in the draft. That’s why we got two RBs in the draft. That’s why we traded for Bollinger. It sucks, and it’s a bummer, but there are no excuses. This week they’ve just got to get ready for the Rams and go win with Brad and Tashard and the rookie CBs (and some punter, not sure how they’ll deal with that).

We really need to make it through the next 3 games 2-1 at least with this division. Then we’d be 6-3 going into the bye, and still in decent position, depending on the rest of the division. If we’re 5-4 going into the bye, not good. BTW, Go Browns!!!

But hopefully we’ll go into the bye 6-3 at least, and then come back with Romo, TNew and Felix all back in action and ready to roll for the final stretch.

Todd Archer reports that P Mat McBriar suffered a fractured right foot when Arizona’s Sean Morey blocked the punt in overtime. He’s expected to miss 6-8 weeks.

We’ll let you know as soon as we have some info about potential punting replacements.

UPDATE: Agent Jack Bechta said the doctor’s recommendation was that McBriar be placed on injured reserve, ending his season.
Bechta also represents Jay Ottovegio, the rookie punter from Stanford who was in the Cowboys’ training camp. Bechta said the team had contacted him about Ottovegio, but they were just putting together a list of punting candidates.

Sam Paulescu, who was in the Cowboys’ camp last year and the Broncos’ camp this year, is a more probable candidate.

hey guys… just as bummed out as all of you…
not really sure what to think… AND all the Giant fans around me are having a field day…
obviously losing Romo hurts, but the loss of felix really hurts… i COULD have seen him MBIII and Choice step it up and cover for Brad Johnson’s shortcomings, but just not sure now..
I would say IF we had some REAL leaders on offense, we could over come this by going 3 and 1 over our next 4 and head into the bye in decent shape, looking to get some top players back after that.. but we need someone to step up.. we have plenty that are talented enough to walk the walk, but we need someon to talk the talk….

even without said players i think we can beat the Rams and the Bucs, but the Skins and Giant games on the road will be really rough…. and those are the important ones..
if we can steal one of those we would be in good shape… but someone, anyone needs to step up, hit the panic button and get some fire under these guys..

maybe when felix and romo return, that fire can be there and we could be ok to hit a wild card spot and hit our stride at the right time…

losing Hurd and McBriar, regardless of the amount of time is the least of our worries…

so i am not giving up yet, but someone needs to show the team and us fans some fire…

Some teams come together in the face of adversity, others wither. We’ll see if there’s a leader on the Cowboys who will light a fire under them. Wade Phillips isn’t, he relies on players to lead. I’d hope Romo would be the guy, but he’s just to emotionally fragile at this point. It amazes me how after a bad series he moaps off the field like a kid who just got his favorite toy stolen. He’s young though.
