Romo clutch this year

[rags747]

If Romo had a team around him all these years they would all have at least 2 rings by now. You think Eli is a better qb than Romo or has his team always stepped up in crunch time. Romo's team is finally stepping up this year but unfortunately we are decimated by injury and will most likely not get far which is too bad because finally this team is showing some heart.

Did any of you watch Flacco's and Sanchez's QBacking over the weekend. Geez.

Clueless.


When the TEAM is successful but Romo plays poorly, then you can flap your gums. Until then... learn the game.

Do we need to compare Romo to Eli AGAIN?

Can we not just enjoy what Romo is doing without having to compare him to Eli?

Sanchez will never live downt he butt fumble.

I love Romo, but I hope you are not including the -2 yard field goal possession as a game winning drive.

Romo only had 189 yards passing that day and completed less than 59% of his passes. Julius Jones was the main force on offense for the Cowboys in that game he had 22 carries for 112 yards. He averaged 5.1 per carry. Regardless that Romo drove the Cowboys to the 2 yard line late in the game he couldn't get them in the endzone. They had to settle for a FG attempt and his botched hold is all anyone remembers from that game...HELLO!

All Romo had to do against Philly in the playoffs was manage the game. Philly never challenged the Cowboys that day it was a blowout. Felix Jones was the main force on offense rushing for 148 yards including a 73 yard TD run.

Where did I say Romo lost that game? I dare you to find a post where I said he did. I double dare you! lol Romo didn't lose that game but his 3 turnovers that included 2 fumbles contributed to the loss. Take the sacks but don't fumble! Are you going to tell me Romo had absolutely nothing to do with that loss?

Look who's talking the guy that doesn't even know how many playoff games Romo has played in. Did you forget the playoff loss to the Giants in 07? I suggest you start watching some football and do some research while you're at it so you don't look so foolish.

We are about an inch or two from claiming an amazing win over the Giants that would have ended up pretty much eliminating them from playoff contention by now. And a FG miss away from claiming one against the Ravens.

[GusTheo]

LoL you got me, I forgot about the Giants playoff game.

But we'll start from the beginning, the Seahawks game. In what is widely considered the toughest place to play in the NFL, with the game on the line, he marched his team down and put them in a position to win. Obviously a TD would've been nice, but they only needed a FG. Regardless of him dropping the hold has nothing to do with the argument. As the QB he put his team in a position to win. Forget about the fact that Parcells refused to attack the Seahawks secondary that was weak.

We'll go to the Giants game next since it was his next playoff game and I neglected to mention it A few bullet points on this one. A lengthy drive before the 1st half ended with a Cowboys score, and the Giants responded and got a score of their own in less then a minute, demoralizing. Then we had the famous Patrick Crayton drop on a wide open pass, and then again Crayton not running all the way through his route. People can point to the INT to end the game all they want, but that was a 4th and 11 desperation heave. Sure he didn't lead the Cowboys to victory, but sometimes other guys need to do their part as well. This loss isn't on Romo.

All he had to do was manage the Eagles game? So we'll give him no credit for the win because he didn't have to win it. Felix Jones' 73 yard TD run made it 34-7. That more so put the game away rather then was the driving force.

Vikings... Oy vey lol. This game just sucked on all accounts, we already went over this. Maybe you didn't say he lost it, but what I was getting at was basically the way it went down, there was no way the Cowboys were gonna win this one, even with Roger the dodger QBing the team.

So to get to your point that at some point in time a QB must carry his team in the playoffs, I agree to an extent, I just dont agree that Romo has failed to answer the bell. There is only so much one guy can do. It takes an entire team to win.

For arguments sake, if Crayton had ran all the way through his route and caught that TD pass late in the Giants game, would that mean Romo carried his team in that playoff game? Even though he threw the same exact pass just that someone else actually helped him?

I'm sorry I was so condescending, but it's tough dealing with people who just spew blind hatred for the guys just because that's the perception. If people can't see just how much carrying Romo does, then I question their football knowledge.

Also, a lot of Romo's playoff experience came early on his career. I think we can all agree that he's matured a lot as a player. It sucks that the Cowboys have been in such disarray that he hasn't had the opportunity to atone for it.

[percyhoward]

Last 14 Dec-Jan games...
Romo
27 TD 5 INT

Dallas defense
8 INT 21 TD

Romo has continued to be clutch, but we've been winning *this* December because the defense has also been clutch.

don't bother. KJJ is probably just slightly less of a Romo hater then ufcrules is.
Facts will not make a difference.

[burmafrd]

Fact is that in 2007 late in the game the O line collapses and still Romo put the ball in Crayton's hands for what should have been the clincher. He dropped it. Then quit on another route that very well might have scored.
Then remember Fasano also had a critical drop.

Seattle has already been mentioned and destroys the arguement that Romo as the QB failed. By the way the NFL changed the way balls for kicks were handled after that game. Why don't you ask why KJJ?

Minnesotta- I defy you to find any QB that could have done better with the total collapse of the O line that day. By the way the D played lousy as well. Convienent memory for some.

only someone LOOKING for a reason to blame romo would talk about those games as his fault

[Star4Ever]

As someone has already pointed out, Romo would already have a Super Bowl appearance (maybe a title), if it wasn't for PAtrick Crayton. Yes, we would've beaten Green Bay fairly easily in the NFC title game the next week.

And you know this how?

The Cowboys could have easily lost that game. We just don't know, unless someeone has a crystal ball that reveals alternate realities and just isn't sharing it with us.
