Romo's public perception level is entering Delhomme levels

The season ended on a play where a free rusher came up the middle and hit romo.

Pretty sure that's the problem.

kind of like in Philly, on a third and long a free rusher came up the middle romo dodged two sacks and completed a 25 yd pass to Austin for a first down, two plays later he hits Dez for a Td. Had he taken the sack the season would have been over at Philly in November.

I maybe crazy, but maybe the problem isn't the guy people like u complain about 24/7.

No kidding. Romo bails the offense out on a nearly weekly basis.

Combine that with fans being unable to determine who is to blame on an interception (ie, did the receiver not run the correct route)... And everything is thrown at his feet.

God forbid Romo has a bad game, because then we are sunk. We can't win when he a poor game. The team can't carry him on days like that. But we expect him to carry the team week in, week out.

Excellent post. Romo bailed Garrett out time after time this season. We would not have even sniffed the playoffs without Tony Romo. The farther removed Garrett is from the offense, the better Romo will be. Upgrading the o-line wouldn't hurt either.

Exactly.

Meanwhile in D.C., Griffin can stink up the joint and still win a division deciding game.

There's your difference. I don't really care about public perception.

Thats cause if you really think about it he is. Like clockwork you can predict he will mess up in the worst ways.

Total BS....and I was furious after that play too.

But I just rewatched the Washington game last night. Yes, still ticked off about that last throw. He looked very comfortable in that 4th quarter though and was moving the team very well and making some outstanding plays and decisions under pressure. He had just completed a nice gainer to Witten right before that play. They were looking good. He just got fooled there...plain and simple. The pressure cmae in about 1 second and he thought he had an outlet and let the ball go. Huge mistake...but not a choke. A mistake. He'd just passed for a TD and a pressure packed 2 pt conversion. The guy was not choking. he just failed on that one play. Plenty of time still, btw. But washington drove it down for the score and that was it.

He started that game poorly, looking way ouf synch. But he steadied the ship and we did not give up points to Washington on those early screwups (though we lost our chances, so still sucked). He played fine after the poor start. We went up 3-0 even after that bad start. They just controlled the ball and pressured us way to much.

What blew me away in rewatching the game was that I had forgot that right before they started that fateful drive near the end, the showed the stat of Romo the last 6 games...and how he had totally carried that team to be in playoff contention.

6 games. 8 TDs, 0 ints. 115 rating. 4 game winning drives and almost 5 vs NO. Total and completely carried the team....yet everyone only remembers than him getting fooled on that play vs Washington. Nothing else matters.

You can get fooled on a play-- even when you are starting to play well. It does not mean you choked. People that play sports usually understand that.

I'm a big Romo supporter, but he pretty much blew that game in WAS for us at the end of the season. That's not unusual for a really good QB to cough up a hairball now and then, but I'm not sure there's any way around the fact that he did, in the worst possible situation: a season ended game 17 for all the marbles.

It's always for all the marbles when Romo loses his marbles. Game 17 vs the Eagles, game 1 of the Playoffs vs Seattle the game vs New York Giants on and on....even this year vs Washington, thus the list of self destruction continues to grow.

One thing consistent with Tony Romo throughout his entire NFL career is his horrible results in the clutch and in the most important games of his life.

Yeah, this is pretty much all fantasy from somebody who didn't watch those other games very closely.

Romo is Romo. That's all he'll ever be.

He's not a Super Bowl caliber QB. He's not one who can be relied on to put the team on his shoulders at the most critical times.

The more critical the moment, the more Romo's going to falter.

I was a staunch Romo supporter ... to the moment he threw that INT in Washington.

Then it all hit me like a ton of bricks. Romo doesn't have what it takes.

I watched three interceptions by Tony ROmo in the most important game of the year the other day.

If you add up his turnovers in the most important NFL games of his life, it's just astounding that anyone would try to justify the ineptness he has created with bonehead game changing mishaps, throughout his fabled career.

Same with Jerry Jones, how anyone can justify his credibility is without sanity.
