You guys want a team that's tough as nails but you want the coach to tell them they're only playing 2snaps bc they might get hurt.

That is true.

It's an unfair but of complaining from us. Myself included. I am just confused why wittenjnjured was back out...even if u didn't k ow he was hurt, he took a big shot.

Watching Hard Knocks last night made me wish we still had Fasano. The guy has been a pretty reliable TE for them while we were stuck with Jupiters Crunch...who btw caught a TD pass this past week.

Hope so.

Archer, broaddus and Mickey said it should be two to three weeks.

Although I want to come in there and beat the crap out of the Giants, our odds were already not great. The crowd will be a factor and the Superbowl champs have won this season opening game like 8 years running. I'm not saying we have no chance but I don't think the season will be made or lost with a Week One loss to the Giants.

I just hope we aren't blown out. A competitive loss won't bother me much considering our injuries. We get 10 days after this game and then 2 very winnable games against Seattle and Tampa Bay. I will be thrilled if we are 2-1 and completely healthy after Week 3.

if we have all our starters on offense and defense and our defensenis good, there is no reason we can not still win the game without witten.

Question about releasing Nagy ....

Is this something the team is doing in order to put him on their practice squad (or some such), or is the team truly cutting ties with him?

I think he is waived and if not claimed will go the the ir.....I think that is what happened. He is having surgery this week.

Again, I want to win every game but we were already underdogs in that game. Their pass rush versus our interior OL is not going to be in our favor at all. Take away Witten and we are bigger dogs. Romo's a magician but he's going to have tons of pressure in his face and he really relies on Witten to bail him out a lot.
