Tony Romo out for the year with broken collarbone
No team, in fairness, should be expected to do much without its starting quarterback.
Still, it’s the knockout blow to the Cowboys season that started with such high expectations.
With Romo potentially out again, Cassel knows there is pressure, even with the Cowboys holding a 3-8 record.
No team has ever made the playoffs from a 2-7 position, but there are still no teams above.
Norman, who was inside the locker room getting stretched out, got the word, and from there he went into his mythical “dark place”. Romo missed seven weeks with a broken clavicle earlier this season and the team said he reinjured the left clavicle. You’ve got to get ready to go. We can’t have performances like this – there’s no excuses.
The league’s top tackler since joining the NFL in 2012, Kuechly dropped into coverage and easily stepped in front of a pass intended for Terrance Williams before churning up the left sideline and pushing Romo away as he crossed the goal line. That doesn’t overcome where we’re at. They have lost eight of their last nine games. We just have to keep fighting, ” he said.
They gambled on Greg Hardy.
I’ll admit it, if I didn’t write about the Cowboys, I would probably shut it down and watch hockey until the draft. I am not only talking about the fact that he let him start, but also in how he used him once he took the field.
Romo will not need surgery after getting hurt in the third quarter of Thursday’s 33-14 loss to Carolina. Instead the team became a train wreck, and nearly unwatchable altogether.
“Romo has a hairline fracture and is out for the year”. Talk about cruel irony for Cowboys Nation.
As they sat down for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday many Dallas Cowboys fans watched in horror as quarterback Tony Romo suffered another injury that will now definitely end his season and likely the team’s playoff chances.
BILLS: Defensive tackle Kyle Williams will undergo surgery on his left knee and miss the rest of the season.
If the Cowboys chose to move on from Romo, there will be a steep drop in production.
Romo, 35, has sustained three fractures on his left clavicle over the past five years. He missed the final 10 games of the 2010 season with the injury. How dependable is Romo to stay on the field? You get about four to six hours of enjoyment with it and then you are right on to Carolina. But it could be a problem.
Romo is averaging about $18 million through the life of his contract signed before the season. They lead the National Football League with 25 takeaways. The Cowboys toyed with the idea of drafting a quarterback last spring but did not pull the trigger.
