Here is Garrard destroying the Cowbows in 2010.  I wonder when Blake's first 4 TD game is going to be.

I went back to the Cowboys website and found a Jaguars fan who registered just to post about the game with the username AbidingDude.

 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Jaguars fan here.  

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Only chance I see of the Jags being a threat in this one is if Romo doesn't play and the Jags are able to rattle Weeden into throwing picks. The Jags pass rush is getting home often lately.  This could also work if Romodoes play but the injury makes him skittish of pressure and he makes poor decisions. Less likely than the prior scenario, IMO. (For reference - Dalton threw two picks and was pressured fairly often on Sunday in Cincy vs the Jags - they had 2 sacks and around 6 pressures).

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The corners in Jax are somewhat promising, but young and inexperienced and will certainly give up a big play or two. The Nickel is a backup safety that had a pick last week but was also burned by Sanu for a TD. They require help from the pass rush to be effective in most cases. The FS is not playing well, and TE seams with Witten/Escobar and over the middle intermediate passes will likely be open often. This - I feel  - will be too much for the Jags to overcome. 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The Jags have been hot and cold against the run. Murray should get 100 yds - but won't have a field day unless the Jags give up a big run or two with missed tackles/gap-fits. Very possible. 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Basically - the Cowboys will need to make mistakes and the Jags rookie QB will have to limit his if this thing were to be an upset. 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Here's to no injuries for both squads and a fun game to watch. Cheers.

I wonder how effective an injured Romo would be if he played on Sunday?

 

Will he be able to move around back there? Will he be in some discomfort?

 

Anything in the back area has to be risky if you are playing football. I read some where that he can't make it worse by playing, but who knows.

 

I would guess they won't announce the starter for the London game until the last possible minute.

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

I'm guessing that if Romo does play, one good crushing sack and we'll see Weeden the rest of the game.

Tony Romo said his back was sore after a nine-hour flight. During the team's walk-through and NFL Play 60 event he spent most of the time standing with a stiff back. He apparently would not play if the game was tomorrow with that report.

 

Can't make it worse by playing? How is that possible against the team that ranks #2 in sacks?

Depends on the severity and location of that crushing sack. He may be able to go back in later.

Thats what I want to see, listen to the Cowpie fans boo in disgust, music to my ears.

HOLY CRAP,  the Jag were that good back then???  I had almost forgot it's been so long.

whats the nfl protocol on back concussions? did that change this year too?

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

I'm assuming they plan on doping him up real good prior to game day.

It is not a back concussion. He has two small fractures on the part of the vertebra that sticks out to the side, called the transverse process.

 

The NFL has no protocol for returning from spinal contusions because they usually are career-ending.

Good question!  JDub, would you mind looking into this for us?

---

Yep, there had some really good games back in the day. It was a lot of fun watching them when they played like that.

 

It's really a shame to see how far they have fallen as a franchise/team.

 

Mismanagement and very poor drafting has gotten them to this very low point.

 

Hopefully Gus and Dave are the 2 right guys to bring the Jags back to prominence.

That does not prevent the transverse process fractures from getting worse.

The really sad thing is, that was 2010 when we bye and large sucked.  What we would do for that level of "suck" these days!  It's hard being a Jags fan!

how did you come across this information?

I don't need to look it up. When the spinal cord is bruised, the player is paralyzed from that point down. D6 probably saw it happen to Reggie Brown years ago.

Mike Sims and Marcedes were beasting in that game.  

 

Man, Garrard would hold those screens till the last possible millisecond, LOL. 

 

I remember that game well. Most of us thought it would be close and were surprised at the offensive uptick from our Jags. 

---

Reading about cases of it happening to players.

That's a risk they apparently may be willing to take. Romo's career could potentially end this Sunday with a bad hit....
