I don't know why some people (dbair) think Garrett would play Weeden if Jerry weren't handcuffing him again. As inappropriate as it was for Jerry to be down there delivering the news, what evidence is there that Garrett doesn't want Tony in there just as much as anyone? And I'm probably a...

Fair enough, dbair, though you have to find a way if he's more talented than Hayden and probably even McClain. You could probably eliminate one of those spare ends since Crawford can play there. I mean, they didn't go to all this trouble to never get him on the roster.

I bet he plays after the bye at the latest...

Watching the replay last night, I'm almost surprised he got hurt as badly as he did. The guy's knee hit right on that pad he wears. Maybe that pad doesn't really do much?

I'm surprised he didn't use his old "But if the owner of a widget manufacturing business goes down to the assembly line, everyone loves it!" line.

:facepalm So he sees the team's attitude and "gets their pulse"... How does that make him a better decision-maker? Decision about what? 'Cause I mean, he's just a figurehead and all.

Werder tweets "emerging possibility" Romo misses a couple of games... On their side, looks like Peterson might play. Apparently his concussion wasn't as bad as it appeared Sunday.

Has anyone seen anyone around the web trying to lip-read what Jerry actually said to Garrett? I looked it up on the game but I can't tell. It's more than just a couple words like "He's okay" or something like that, though.

Gotta admit, I've never heard that one before.

Yeah, time of possession isn't just on the defense, it's also on the offense to keep drives alive. We'd been the best 3rd down conversion offense in the league this year, and last night we just weren't. Part of that has been running the ball so great so that we're in a lot of third and shorts...

I think a lot of Murray's value is in his intangibles. By all accounts the guy is a great leader and teammate. Just an excellent pro who is a good influence on a lot of people. He's sort of the anti-Percy Harvin.

:towel But really, what? Seventh overall pick to this already?

We are? Wow. That's surprising. Because yeah, they're good. Nothing too fancy, just very physical. Ariens and Bowles are good coaches. I bet Peterson doesn't play, though. He got knocked out last week.

Very true. Even on that miracle pass to Dez vs Houston, he was bailing out before the rusher even got to him. Probably be worse now. Sadly, teams may not even stop blitzing now even if we hit some big plays on them. A guy like Bowles especially might just keep coming and try to knock him out of...

Garrett says more scans are being done. Not clear why the others are done but Romo's isn't. Anyone who's had an MRI knows it takes about 10 or 15 minutes. Not saying it means anything... Personally, I bet he's okay. But a guy on the ESPN noon show said he talked to a spine specialist and he...

It was almost like they all forgot they were in overtime. It's like they thought they were fighting the clock at the end of regulation and only had 50 seconds or something to get in FG range and couldn't afford to let the clock run. There was no hurry - just get two yards and get another set...

I totally believe it. I remember when Laufenberg pretty much guaranteed he wouldn't last the whole season.

Even Jesse Holly was saying on the postgame show that after they lied all summer and in camp this year -- plus last year right after he got hurt -- he wouldn't believe what they said about Tony until he saw him on the field against Arizona.

I was thinking that, too. A guy like Pablo might be so slow that he doesn't make much, but Hanna has played more this year and has improved his blocking tremendously. He doesn't have great hands but he can catch a screen. And he has great speed for a TE. Why not?

How big a problem do you think this is going to be? Of course we were all relieved it wasn't the disc problem, but just a knee in the back. So you'd think he's going to be okay. But anyone remember the end of 2008 when we limped down the stretch? It didn't get a lot of attention, but I...
