2016 NFL Week #17: Dallas Cowboys (13-2) @ Philadelphia Eagles (6-9)

If you don't think it matters to Romo and the team, then you're a fool. The guy was basically playing for his future and only had one series to do it. That was clutch.

And in typical Cowboys fashion, they pull him. Jerry just upped the ante for Romo. This team has used that guy more than a whore at the Bunny Ranch.

Do you really want Romo to stay in with that Oline?

If you think one series in a meaningless game moves the meter for trade value, then you're a fool. What WOULD move that meter is if he came in off the bench and won us a playoff game. Which he wouldn't be able to do if we kept playing him here and he got hurt.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Morris was lazy on that block.

 

[Scot]

They just said Sanchez is hurt so we may see Romo back in there which is the worst thing that could happen for us.

Way too much exposure to possible injury

 

[Doomsday]

When you say he is playing for his future, I'd ask what future? As starting QB of Cowboys?

They think he is soooooooo great but also think he needs resume building for trade value. They don't realize yet that any interested parties are gonna insist on him passing their physical exam.

This is one reason I can't wait for off-season. Let this shit play out and we stop talking about it.

No. His future in the NFL.

 

[Doomsday]

This game so far really makes us appreciate Zeke's blocking skills.

Dooms, you've been talking really stupid here lately. That was a mini audition for other teams. And the price just went up. Had Romo come out and laid an egg, the best we could have hoped for is a late round pick.

 

[Dodger12]

I think Romo would want to and I'd want him to as well.

 

[Bushmaster78FS]

No. His future in the NFL.

What's the damage to Cowboys if Jerry insists Romo stays as a backup, even though it's a far fetched scenario.

Right. Because he is sooooo great he needs auditions. One series in a meaningless game, 30 yards passing.

 

[Bushmaster78FS]

Poor Mark. Already 2 INTs

 

[Dodger12]

By the same token, you don't think Sanchez is playing his way out of a job next year? These games may be meaningless in the playoff picture but they're still valuable for evaluation purposes.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

You don't play for the Eagles anymore Sanchezzzzzz.

 

[Dodger12]

None but you're asking a question that you and I know will never happen and for many different reasons, not the least of which is Romo still wants to play and he has some leverage with his salary. A QB controversy next year will split this team in half.

Sanchez was nothing more than a emergency pickup for this one season. He was out if a job for good reason. Most everyone knows he won't be here next year. He's out there now only as fodder.

 

[Scot]

Time to put Beasley in as the emergency QB

 

[Scot]

Wow
Two games back and two injuries to Gregory

Yep, he stayed in shape!

Thinking the same. Did they say he's out for the game?
