Fuck... I hope Romo can recover from this for next season. It must really be bad.

I need a fucking source. I cannot find anything.

It's all over twitter.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo has been ruled out the rest of the season due to his back injury, per league source.

 

[effzee]

Man sucks for Dallas. Helps the Eagles but you never want to face a team like this. Hate injuries.

 

[Konka]

Where are you guys seeing this?

 

[Farooq]

hahahahaha Romo no heart.

What the fuck? Dude lead a comeback on a back that sustained a season ending injury, and he has no heart?

Dude also lead a team to a overtime win with a punctured lung and fractured rib. Heart? Dude has a lot of heart.

Just heard it on ESPN while watching bowl game

E:beaten like Cena

Now the Cowboys have a shot.

I am hearing it all over Dallas sports radio.

Last time the Eagles faced a back-up QB we got lit up for 48 points. Not taking anything for granted here.

If the Cowboys are going to get to the playoffs and go on a run in the postseason, they’re going to do it without quarterback Tony Romo.

Romo has suffered a back injury that will knock him out of the must-win Week 17 game against the Eagles, as well as any playoff games the Cowboys play in, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

That means Kyle Orton will start on Sunday against the Eagles and start the playoffs if the Cowboys can beat the Eagles without Romo.

The Cowboys have no other quarterbacks on their roster besides Romo and Orton, so they’ll need to sign someone to back Orton up.

Obviously, this is a major blow to the Cowboys’ chances of beating the Eagles on Sunday and any chance they might have had of winning in the playoffs if they should beat the Eagles. It’s also a major blow to head coach Jason Garrett, who may lose his job if the Cowboys lose to the Eagles on Sunday. The news in Dallas couldn’t be much worse.

Thanks. Still feel like shit.

 

[squicken]

Cowboys fans now pin their playoff hopes to this guy.

haha if you Google Orton there are like 900 pictures of him drinking. He got benched for Tebow ffs. GG Eagles

 

[cdyhybrid]

Cowboys had no shot against The Greatest Football Offense in the History of the Game™ anyway.

 

[Himynameischris]

My god if they made it to the superbowl with Orton and not Romo lol

 

[Farooq]

This is the play where he tweaked his back, and is obviously limping afterwards.

Edit: He also said he tweaked his back on a hit in the first quarter.

 

[Surge]

Good luck next season Dallas

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Shitty FedExField

This is the second time in two years that that field ended the season of a big time quarterback.

<darkside156>brandi

Jason Garrett just saved his job.

It would've been the hit that did it, the gif is just an aggravation of whatever the real injury was

I take that back, that actually looks like an unrelated (minor) knee injury. His core looks fine.

 

[Hellion]

Where are the Dallas fan reactions?

 

[Greg]

poor Romo

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Tony out? People are about to learn how awful this team really is.

 

[Tom Penny]

That sucks. Dallas D will have to step up.

 

[darkside31337]

God damn at Romo being out.

Kyle Orton? They should probably give a call to Brett to see what hes up to this weekend.

I believed in Romo

 

[Alligatorjandro]

That sucks. Dallas D will have to step up.

lol

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Time to invent a new stat to use against Romo:

"Tony Romo is now 0-1 at playing in 'win-or-go-home' games played the week after suffering a major back injury."

 

[Futurevoid]

That sucks. Dallas D will have to step up.

 

[Surge]

And it happened early in the 4th quarter..how the hell did he finish the game.

The guy is definitely tough

I don't believe it. Darkside, how could you?

[RBH]

hahahahaha Romo no heart.

What a dumb comment.

And I don't even like Romo. The guy's been playing through a lot of injuries this season just to put this team in a position to possibly go to the playoffs in the first place.

 

[Farooq]

Tony out? People are about to learn how awful this team really is.

Bingo. Tony puts this garbage of a team (built by guy who made his money in oil) on his back.

Man...Feel like shit. I know people favored the Eagles this Sunday, but the Cowboys did beat the Eagles in Philly without Murray, without Ware, and a couple of other injuries. The Cowboys had a legitimate chance at home.

 

[darkside31337]

I don't believe it. Darkside, how could you?

I'm sorry

Cowboys are so fucked. Kyle Orton couldn't even beat out Tim Tebow last time his team depended on him to do anything other than hold a clipboard.

 

[C4Lukins]

Where are the Dallas fan reactions?

It sucks. Not much else to say. Romo critics are going to see just how bad we actually are.

 

[RBH]

Bring in Tim Tebow!

Then he can deliver a leg drop to Jason Garrett and tear off his jersey to reveal an Eagles jersey.

 

[Farooq]

It would've been the hit that did it, the gif is just an aggravation of whatever the real injury was

I take that back, that actually looks like an unrelated (minor) knee injury. His core looks fine.

Jerry said (after talking to the medical staff I assume) his back pain traveled down to his leg. However, he said this right after the game.

But, I would agree with what you said initially.

 

[Surge]

Can NBC drop the Eagles/Cowboys game for the Packers/Bears?

I'm sure they would like to especially if Rodgers comes back for the game.

Sorry bro I like Romo and was hoping y'all would win. The only chance now is to find Tebow. You have no other QBs on the roster. Tebow should be the backup

That very well could have aggravated it worse. Doesn't take much to worsen a back injury.

Too late now.

That very well could have aggravated it worse. Doesn't take much to worsen a back injury.

I'm just basing it off the foot grab + trip + stumble, and how he tries to avoid landing on the right leg after the throw.

My thought is that any throw could've aggravated it, not just that one. (although that one was awkward due to the leg, so maybe...)

I don't think so. It's OK though. The game will still get huge ratings. NBC will be fine.

 

[Farooq]

I would rather Garrett suit up and find the magic he had on thanksgiving against the Packers.

 

[Afrikan]

I guess I'm the only one worried about facing Orton instead of Romo. I was hoping facing the Cowboys, that Romo would give the game away to us. Now I don't know.

 

[Mrbob]

I bet NBC wants to flex the Bears/Packers game in now.

I'm looking forward to the triumphant return of DrunkFu.
