Romo hurt

[supafly]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's longer. Romo had the same injury in 2010, in Week 7, and didn't come back that season. And now he's 35, so it could be a long haul.

There's a pretty big difference in the specifics.

For starters, Romo had his injury in week #7 last time (not week #2 now), and the "8 week" timetable would've put him in line to return for the last game or two. It isn't hard to think that they may have changed their minds about their franchise QB in a meaningless week #16 game with the team way out of postseason contention.

In this situation, with a 2-0 start, they could realistically only win 3/8 next games and still have Romo return with the team 5-5 and right in the thick of the NFC East battle.

Add Romo's injury to Dez Bryant's which has gone from 6 weeks to 10-12 due to bone graft and the Cowboys are hurting..

Rolando McClain is suspended and in theory should be available, as will Hardy. (T. McClain, a DT, is on IR.)

OTOH Scandrick, their best corner, is on IR.

BTW for you Kellen Moore fans, he's the backup right now.

Tony now has time to get in touch with his inner Crowny ...

Have to admit, I like The Cassel trade for the Cowboys. I think Cassel can do alright with that o line.

Bills decide to go with Tie-rod and EJ? I'm ok with that.

What did they get back for Cassel?

 

[Zuma]

The Bills are going to wish they kept Cassel before this season is over.

Sent a 7th along with Cassel for a 5th.

Sent a 7th along with Cassel for a 5th.

In 2017, supposedly.

With the Cowboys signing Cassel, you can add Weeden's feelings to the injured list.

I thought Moore was with Detroit? Why did they trade for Cassel then?
