The defense, Minnesota game notwithstanding, has been improving markedly from week to week. Nobody in their right mind wants to oppose this team in the playoffs.

Just have to get thereby stomping Dylbert and his posse of clowns. I'm ALL FOR THAT!
Mike, more or less confident now that you're facing Orton instead of Romo? My guess is less.

Less, and it seems like i'm all by myself. The texts i've been getting since the story broke are making me downright nauseous.

I understand why people are brimming with excitement after last night's win, but they still have to handle business come sunday night. It's like the fans already forget about a Matt Cassell led offense just hanging 47 (!!!) on the defense.

The defense has been getting better each and every week, but when a guy named Matt Asiata scores 3 td's (and perhaps his only career td's) on you less than two weeks ago, it's at least a plausible thought that the Cowboys can hang something similar.

Nothing would make me happier heading into 2014 than a 3rd straight failed attempt to shore up the division for the Cowboys at home. (Other than selling this lovely home we have for sale in Medford, NJ soon )

The defense is the problem, not the offense. Therefore, I don't think Orton will be horrible at all. They will score some points. Can they stop Philly? That's what matters

Ed Werder ‏@Edwerderespn Source says Tony Romo got epidural injection for herniated disk. Takes 2-3 days to determine effect of shot. Source very skeptical QB plays

I've been through this, big time, like could barely get out of bed for a month. It first happened when I was playing tennis. It happened in warm up, but I played a good two hours. It hurt like hell, but still, I could finish. By the next morning I couldn't move. The pain was like nothing I could ever describe. I'm not trying to compare football to tennis. The fact he finished a football game with that is incredible and that guy is super tough. I'm just saying it has probably gotten worse.

They say he needs surgery. It would shock me if the first epidural shot did enough to allow him to play. It generally takes a series, each helping a little more. Even with the first two shots, I still had to take some serious painkillers just to get around the house, and it was shooting down my leg just like his.
