After suffering a high-ankle sprain against the Panthers in Week 15, nobody was surprised to learn that Terrell Owens would sit for the Cowboys' meaningless season finale against the Redskins. But now it looks like the Pro Bowl wide receiver may not be ready to go in two weeks, when Dallas plays its first game of the postseason.
Head coach Wade Phillips announced that Owens was "iffy", which obviously has to have an affect on the Cowboys' offensive game plan even with Terry Glenn working his way back on the field:
"You're not as good offensively without T.O.," said quarterback Tony Romo, who was 7-for-16 for 86 yards and an interception in about 2 1/2 quarters of work against Washington.The Cowboys are coming off a Redskins-administered beatdown, but Phillips downplayed the game, since Dallas had nothing to play for. On the good news front, the Cowboys hope to have cornerback Terence Newman, center Andre Gurode and nose tackle Jay Ratliff all healthy for the divisional round.
Although Glenn saw his first action of the season, he didn't catch a pass. Thay may have had something to do with the Redskins trying to take him out, to hear the Cowboys tell it, anyway:
A couple of Cowboys suggested Glenn was the victim of a cheap shot by a member of the Redskins. "I think they were trying to hurt me," Glenn said.If Owens doesn't make it back, Romo has plenty of other offensive weapons. I'd only suggest keeping Jessica Simpson off the property. You know, just in case.

I say the Cowboys have plenty of weapons besides TO.
How about giving the ball to Marion Barber 25 to 35
times and use playaction off his success. Jerry give
me a call, I work cheaper than Garett but I bet that
I would come up with a much better game plan.

Poster #2. There is a reason the Cowboys don't do that.
The Cowboys don't have a real rushing game. Neither Jones nor Barber would even be starters on a team that relied on rushing. In spite of a good blocking offensive line they cannot run the ball if Romo isn't lighting up the sky with passes.
How many rushing yards did they get against Washington?

who care's it's the PLOWBOY's.It's not rocket surgery to see they're burnt out. That Yankee boy BROMO is not used to playing this long season.T.O. is talked out,even though his "I've changed routine has some of you fooled.On the bright side maybe you can get a good draft pick! GO PACKER'S

Who is T.O.? Is he that other # 81? The one that's in R.M's shadow? That T.O.?

If there are any Dallas Cowboys players reading this I have always been a Cowboys fan but I am here to tell you to get your sh** together for 3 weeks I have watched you perform like the worst fu**en team in the league I don't know if you have been partying to much or not working as hard in practice you are playing with no passion for the game and it is making me sick as a fan to watch that on the field. You have a long list of winners to live up to I suggest you stop the bullsh** and get down to business because the next loss will be it for the season. Go Cowboys!!! T.O. or no T.O. find a way to win.

With a less than 40% catch rate I really don't think TO is ever ready.
Did I say TO sucks?

Dallas is a over rated team and it really showed in their last three games.All they do is rest on their past history,but they have not won anything in this decade.New England put it to them and would do it again.
