Dak headed to hospital. That’s a compound fracture 

Could just be out of an abundance of caution

Damn. REALLY not good

the common sense answer is that he is going to get it fixed.

did you think that was just gonna heal without surgery? why is it not good? I think its good that he is getting it fixed.

Even with emergency surgery?

Hurts looked good.  Was that his first completed NFL pass?

 

He’s 1-1 in his career. Not bad.

This may have been  Hightower's best game. He was open down field so many times. Carson missed every throw to him. 

?

That bomb in the endzone literally went through Hightower's hands.  Hightower failed to track it and completely lost it...and it still went through his hands.

Oh trust me, I'm really low on Hightower atm.

 My guy has always been Watkins.  I liked Hightower in the draft but I've always had Watkins higher than Hightower. 

I liked both of them as late round guys. but I also was realistic that neither one of those guys with The off-season that they went through (with the pandemic) that it was unrealistic to believe those guys were going to be competent enough to be relied upon to play significant snaps. I think both of them are going to be fine in time. I think fulgham could be the real deal but remember he’s had a couple years in the league even if it wasn’t here. Used to be it took til year 3 to see peak performance at WR. I’m hoping that happens before then with some of our young kids.

Not the one that went right through his hands.

Watch Dallas get Lawrence.

with that injury, theyre not gonna just leave his ankle like that till Monday. Theyre going to fix it. That goes to the ED, thats an automatic ortho consult. The foot and ankle guy says, Ill be in. Especially for an NFL player.

it my have been catchable but it was high and long. Hightower jumped, and would have had to make a great play to come down in bounds. The way he landed, woulda been out of bounds anyway.

Likely just needs an IV

Clearly he was going to need surgery. But to have to do it immediately tends me to think it’s a very serious injury. You're the medical guy though so I’m not going to argue it.

well, you did see his ankle. Yes, it was a serious injury. It is going to be fixed tonight.

I'm not sure we saw the same play.  Even Hightower was banging his head because he missed it. 

Jerry Jones somehow hiring someone worse than Garrett is more impressive than all his SBs combined. Just a special special achievement.

yeah its horrible the way he completely misjudged where the ball was coming down with his hands. But the ball was also long, and high. And he wasnt going to come down in bounds anyway even if he caught it. 

It was overthrown. Not overthrown out of his reach. Overthrown out of the field of play. 

Leave it to the damn Cowgirls that in a season when our team is flat out bad and in need of a influx of quality young talent that they are also so bad that it's possible for us to win the division with a 5-10-1 record instead of getting a top 10 draft pick.  That's pretty much a worse case scenario for us to have performed that bad on the field yet be drafting in the 20s.

I’m shocked Jerry didn’t go all out to get the Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley. I thought for sure he’d do that. 

Giving up 30+ to a Daniel Jones led ball club is unforgivable in my opinion. Win or lose, Nolan should resign after the game.

I need to see a replay.  I've only seen it once and that's not how I remember it.
