LOL yeah Iron, now you know what kind of your dealing with when it comes to Mono.

Felix tweaked his hamstring on that first down run, which is why you basically didn't see him after that. No word on the MRI results yet, but they aren't going to want to lean heavily on him if he's banged up. Looks like it's on BJ and the Barbarian.

Lol, the first thing I do whenever I join a forum is go to posts from 2/3/2008 or around that date. I missed that one.

You should be able to beat up on the Rams with those 2 fairly easy, but you better hope you have FJ back for Tampa.

Jason Garrett is going to run the Wildcat from here on out.

This could be the best thing to happen to the cowboys even if it's for a short term.

Brad Johnson , however old, is a disciplined experienced playoff tested superbowl winning quarterback , he just goes out there and plays, he kept the vikings in it a couple of years ago, I think we can do without the 455 fumbles that romo has a game and interceptions.

I see more passes going to T.O.

Experienced quarterbacks find their best receivers, somehow, someway

Crap.

If Romo was under pressure all day, Johnson will be in a world of hurt. He's only slightly more athletic than an arthritic armadillo. The OL can't suck like they did yesterday and expect him to survive.

but with Johnson, the ball is coming out. he knows just when to get rid of it. Johnson really impressed me with his recent tenure in Minnesota atleast the first half of the season. then they kinda mailed it in later

what a pussy

[ShoogarBear]

Brad Johnson is a decent QB for about six games a year until he gets the ragarm. If he hasn't petrified, this could work out okay for the Cowboys.

[SpursFanFirst]

Cowboys are done, no way they even go .500 during the Romo injury stretch. If the coaching staff is smart, they will give Brooks Bollinger a shot and cut Brad Johnson, he absolutely has nothing left. Even with Romo, the Cowboys weren't winning the division (Giants will), much less going to the Superbowl. They will be better off tanking the season, getting a good draft pick to use on a TO replacement and overhauling the coaching staff...starting with Wade.

You give Romo too much credit.

[DBryant88]

Its not like Romo has done a bad job. he has thrown 14 TD's. I think that their Hearts not in it, they had some many expectations and now that aren't living up to them. It could kill any team.

Now is the time we will see if Jason Garrett is worth all the hype. If he is as good and as ready to be a head coach as a lot of us (myself included) have said, now is the time we will see it. He has to get creative using the weapons he has and at the same time, not get his 102 year old QB killed.

[Obstructed_View]

I'd submit that now is the time NOT to be creative. You have a good offensive line, a good running back, and several good tight ends. If you can't just beat the Rams playing smash-mouth football, then you aren't a Super Bowl caliber team anyway.

I agree with you about the Rams but TB and NY are different. I don't mean creative like double reverses and flea flickers but do some things that keep the other team off balance and your aged QB up right. Dallas has become too predictable of late.

[Whisky Dog]

Garrett needs to 1) Challenge the out of that O line to play ball and get their together, 2) Come up with a game plan that allows for added protection and utilizes Barber and Choice as both blockers and dump off choices for Johnson.

I wonder how long it takes to get Roy into the offense.

3 - 5 weeks?

As I've said before, Dallas has become too predictable in that they try to fool the other team and end up playing away from tendencies. At some point you have to start playing the odds. Cleveland beat the Giants last night by just out muscling them. The Cowboys have far better lines than most teams in the league on both sides of the ball.

And Tampa and New York don't mean anything if you can't beat the Rams.

Looks like Romo is getting fitted with a splint and may go this Sunday.

MAY GO

[Obstructed_View]

I heard something about Favre calling him and telling him how he played with the same injury.

[Biernutz]

That broken pinkie just saved Wade Phillips his job. The team has been just sliding along and not playing well. You could see the team frustration before this loss. Jerry was probably ready to pull the trigger. Jerry won't throw his boy "Jason " in there now where he could fail but it's just a matter of time. Wade is history if the boys don't win it all.

[SpursFanFirst]

I heard something about Favre calling him and telling him how he played with the same injury.

if you can deal with the pain and can function good enough with a splint,'' Favre said. "If not, don't try.''

Romo will not require surgery but is expected to miss four weeks with his injury. While quarterbacks such as Favre and Drew Bledsoe -- the quarterback Romo replaced in Dallas -- have played with broken fingers, the Cowboys explain that the pinkie is essential in gripping the ball whereas other fingers are more involved in delivering accurate passes and taking direct snaps from under center.

Favre told Romo that his thumb injury "hurt like , but that doesn't mean a pinkie would be any easier.''

Although there seems to be some unjustified question about Romo's toughness, Favre has no such doubts, lavishing praise on a player whose reckless style and fun-loving nature on the field has been compared to the future Hall of Famer who holds virtually every significant NFL record for quarterbacks.

"I talked to Tony about what I did to play with the thumb,'' Favre said. "Everyone is different and the two injuries are different, so only Tony knows. I will say this: Not only do I think he's tough, but I think he's also one of the top five playes in the entire league.''
