Romo Done for the Year

[stirs]

While everyone thought his leg was injured yesterday, it must have been a nerve.

 

Looking like surgery in my opinion

Schefter reported on NFL Live 10 minutes ago and it's all they've been talking about since....

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will miss the rest of the season due to a back injury, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Cowboys (8-7) host the Philadelphia Eagles (9-6) on Sunday with the winner capturing the NFC East title. Kyle Orton likely will now get the start against the Eagles.

Romo said Sunday he would undergo an MRI on his back Monday, but he didn't believe it would jeopardize his availability for the game against Philadelphia.

Romo said his back, which was sore coming into Sunday's victory over the Washington Redskins, troubled him after a hit in the first half.

"That triggered it a little bit," Romo said Sunday. "Whatever the kid did on that one play, it really sent something that didn't feel comfortable.

"But it's in a completely different spot than the back stuff I had last year, so that's a good sign."

Romo had surgery in April to remove a cyst from his back and did not take a snap until the team reached training camp in Oxnard, Calif., in July.

Romo was noticeably limping as he carried out play fakes on running plays. In the fourth quarter, he appeared to be in trouble even more after spinning free from the pocket on a third-down throw to Miles Austin. Romo appeared to kick the back of his leg as he escaped trouble, but he did not miss a snap.

Romo completed 17 of 27 passes for 226 yards, including the game-winning touchdown to DeMarco Murray on fourth-and-goal from the Washington 10 with 1:08 to play.

Romo has dealt with numerous injuries over the years, including a broken rib in 2011. He hurt his ribs again in last year's season-ending loss to the Redskins.

Probably.

But there's an evil little part of me that would laugh maniacally if the Cowboys backup won the game and made Romo look bad.

 

I think Kelly has the Eagles minds right.

 

They had nothing to play for last night and destroyed Chicago.  Or at least that is my opinion.

 

Who knows, it is the NFL

I honestly feel sorry for Romo, I loved watching him play for Dallas. He always seemed to have the ability to make that one play when all the cards were on the table and something needed to be done that would totally fug-up any chance they had to win, seriously will miss watching him for the rest of the season.

 

I hope he gets well soon.

ESPN isn't even reporting this.

Panic attacks pass in about 10-15 mins.

Well if everything pans out the way it should

 

49ers 6th seed would play the eagles or dallas....

 

Yeah.... Poor orton

Dallas was favored against Philly in Vegas this morning.

 

One book has Philly as a 7.5 favorite now.

I got it on Twitter.

 

I hate the Cowboys, and a part of me is dancing a jig right now. But at the same time I would love if Orton was able to show up Romo. That would be awesome!
