    Damn. You would figure a potential 7-1 and 6-1 matchup would be flexed. Especially considering the cowboys always do well in ratings. Just look at the top 5 TV shows of the past few years.

    Thanks man. Was quite a scare seeing him go down. Washington played their hearts out and deserved the win.

    David J. Chao (@ProFootballDoc), former San Diego team coach and medical expert for the National Football Post, summarized the situation in a series of Tweets as follows:

    Transverse process fractures are very painful but NOT structural. NO risk of nerve/paralysis. Possible to play.

    Whether ROMO plays will depend on pain, muscle spasm and effectiveness. Coaching decison more than medical decison.

    Recently Baylor QB Bryce Petty finished game with 2 transverse process fractures then missed 1 game. Very painful.

    Fractures take 6wks to heal. ROMO will play in 0-2wks. Don't need transverse process to heal to play. They often never heal. Non-structural.
    Transverse process fractures can get worse & more painful if hit but will not cause nerve damage, become long term or need surgery.

    For now, Dr. Chao's info chimes with what we can glean from various other sources on the interwebs.

    Romo needs to sit out at least a month. Heal up as much as possible. They have 6 wins, and the team has enough talent to man a month without him.

    They have Jacksonville and Giants sandwiched between Cardinals and Eagles. Go 2-2 without Romo is very reasonable.

    Bye week as well. Hopefully they are smart about it and give him time to heal. Doesn't hurt to give Weeden a shot and see just what you have in him either.

    Notice how the cowboys always have a big special teams negative play in the form of blocked FGs or punts seemingly every time we play Arizona? Sh_t gets old!

    I agree. They've had our number for a while now. I was expecting Weeden to be quite so.......well, terrible.

    Romo is making the trip and Dr. Jones expects him to play. But keep doing what you do and post these useless "I'm first to Report" tweets.

    Having him on a 6-8 hour plane flight before/after the game sounds like it really will do wonders for his back.

    Right about on par with the decision to bring him back into the game last week.

    The Cowboys are about to face all sorts of regression to the means... whether its dumb decision making, or just simply poor play.

    I agree with you and I'm 100% against it. I'm just taking a shot at zeeshan and the rest of these "Twitter Followers" who sit there all day going through their feed and posting tweet after tweet of what I consider garbage. How about you just wait until something is official before re-posting what other insiders aka clowns are speculating. Besides most fans already know the "news" and you get no award for posting first. I'm not sure when this entire thing became a trend.

    Expected loss. Just hope Romo gets healthy, and the team can win the next 2 games, which are winnable.
