Who should go on IR?

Tony Romo? I say yes. The Cowboys are a whopping 1-5 already.

Say Kitna leads them to a 7-3 finish, the 8-8 Cowboys could potentially squeak into the playoffs. At that point, with Romo NOT on IR you would take the guy who won all the games out and put in the guy who led them to all the losses.

Sidney Rice - I say yes. Rice is the best long term option for the Vikings at WR, and though the season isnt "yet" lost, its going to be another 2-3 weeks before he is ready to go. At that point the Vikes should be 3-6 or so. Unless Favre pulls a rabbit out his Wrangers and starts playing like he did last year its pretty much a waste to rush Rice back.

Brett Favre - I say no. Not to be a dick, but they already paid his ass like $16 million dollars for one final season. Might as well ride that pony all the way to a nice draft pick. Tarvaris Jackson isnt going to be much of an improvement, and a real QB prospect should be available with the Vikes top 15 draft pick in 2011.

Anyone else folks?

I am SHOCKED that Romo is not on the IR! Dallas has to go to NY, play the Eagles twice, the Packers, Colts, New Orleans! Still think you need 10 wins to make the playoffs, right now the wild card teams are 4-3. The season is over boys, beating the jags will not change that. Time to get him on the IR and rested for next year. :headscratch:


For sidney rice & favre, they are not going on IR. I do not believe in the bears, the packers have some sort of freaky injury curse on them, in the next 3 weeks, after this NWE game, they are @ Chicago, and then Packers come to Minny. I think Minny will re-evaluate after that, because they go 2-1 but beat Bears-Packers, their schedule is not too bad after that, compared to the cowboys. Of course, they go 0-3, or even 1-2, they may put Rice on IR. But I think they will wait. For Favre, I think he would have to be dead before he lets Minny put him on IR, love him or hate him, that SOB is tough.

Romo yes.

Rice...not yet. if he can come back, he added to MOss and Harvin could be huge. but that decision needs to be made soon I think, as if he is on where he is past a certain week he is out automatically.

Favre, no. He may play this week.

We can't get Brett to retire.... what makes us think he'll let anyone put him on IR?

I will also add in that I won't be shocked if Pierre Thomas ends up IRed. He has ankle issues that won't heal, and now surgery discussions are popping up.
