So Romo can stink it up and lose a couple of games, but the guy who won you 11 in a row can't?

Difference being here: Dak is progressively getting worse. The "L" isn't the issue, it's HOW he is playing.

QB coming off a year with no play, not being 100% perfect = excusable
QB playing in 13 games, progressively getting worse - inexcusable, rookie or not

I have said before, getting an L happens. A lot of factors, but when that HUGE factor is the starting QB who had a god awful performance and still raises question if he can make those big NFL throws consistently.

Dak should lose his job tonight. Won't happen, but it should.

If he continues struggling the next 2 games I might put Tony in some for the Philly game just to iron out the rust. I wouldn't expect much though. He hasn't played in a year and he keeps getting hurt. If the offense doesn't turn it around without Tony I don't think we win the SB anyway.

LOL you put Tony in for ONE game to take away a year long rust and hope he's ready for a big playoff game? You might as well stick with Dak at that point.

You either start Romo next week or maybe even against the Lions or you let it go. Sadly it will be noodle arm Dak the entire way. Can't wait to face the Giants again in the playoffs just for Dak to put up another stinker.

I don't start Romo next week. But if Dak plays like this again next week, that will be the 3rd game in a row against a playoff caliber defense that he's struggled. If he plays like that next week, then I put in Romo.
At half-time

It's going to be frustrating if they lose to the Giants with Dak when Romo hasn't lost to them since what, 2012? He has their number.

No, yet again, you allow Romo to shake off the rust since we have playoffs locked up. Romo can have a bad game or two after the time he missed.

You don't wait until there is one games left in the freakin' season to make a change. The time is now.
so Romo is allowed a bad game or 2, but Dak has to win them all? Is that the way it goes? If Romo stinks it up, do you pull him for Sanchez? I don't get the idea that if Dak plays one bad game, loses one game, you have to sit him. If that's the way we roll, the same should apply to Romo, first bad game and it's back to the bench!

It won't really matter in the end. We go back to Tony and he isn't his old self, the season's over.

Why do you suppose it didn't happen?
Because the team was on fire and our particular coaches didn't want to mess it up. This isn't right if they know who the better player is in practice and on the field.
Some illusory concern about "chemistry". I doubt the chemistry is great right now.
Chemistry is great in the lab or romantic relationships. In football it means nothing and just masks what gives it any meaning in the first place - winning.

They owe it to themselves to see what Romo looks like with this oline and Zeke. When? I am not sure but Dak playing like this won't win us a SB, I think most of us would agree.

Romo hasn't been out of the second round of the playoffs over a ten year career, so what exactly is the evidence that he's going to take us to a superbowl?

Only way Dak gets pulled is if he literally ****s the bed like he did tonight all the way down the end of the season...

They won't wait that long. Romo needs some time to knock the rust off...

Did you see him on the sideline? He was PISSED. And for good reason, he would have turned that Giants' pass defense into mincemeat, That loss had as much to do with Dak's inexperience as anything, the book has been written on him and it's a bestseller across the league by now.

For the love of God, we have a HOF QB on the sideline and we got a 2 interception, under fifty percent completion throwing rookie who is going to throw away the entire season. My God.

It's a legitimate question. Do you start Romo next week?

I wouldn't, and I love Romo.

I wouldn't either and I am one that thought he should have been in there as quick as he was healthy and is by the far the best QB on the team. However, they made this decision so they have to ride it. But if he continues to suck like the last several weeks, you have to consider it. 50 other players that deserve to have the best shot possible at a SB. That is not Dak.

He never had this good of an offense, Romo 2014 > Dak 2016. They must find out if that version of Tony still exists.
