Video: Vintage Romo

[Oh_Canada]

He had an OUTSTANDING postseason. His passer rating was just over 115.0. His defense didn’t make it comfortable at all for him in the Super Bowl because Philly got shredded by Brady for over 500 passing yards including 3 TDs and 33 points. Our defense never got shredded like that in any of Romo’s elimination game losses.

93 rating and was poor up until last game against Green Bay.

Aww, don’t cry. If it makes you feel any better, I really did appreciate the handing off.

Lol. Okay Super. You get the thumb's up.

This thread not only points to the disappointment of this season but the sad state of the franchise. You have many gushing over great plays by Romo in games the Cowboys lost. Much of this fan base is still stuck on a QB that had a 2-4 playoff record. Some are so put off with Dak they’re ready to move on and use a high draft pick on another QB or start Rush next season who’s never taken a regular season snap.

Well, let me give you the average stats of 2 QBs during the second half of last season. Stats are rounded.

QB A: 188 Passing yards, 21 Rushing Yards, 1 TD, 1 Int, 62.77 Completion Percentage, 6.52 Y/A

QB B: 190 Passing Yards, 27 Rushing Yards, 1 TD, 1 Int, 54.42 Completion Percentage, 6.72 Y/A

Can anybody guess who the other QB is? A is Dak.

It’s hard to build an appreciation thread based on handing off the ball and playing terrible once your pre-free agency superteam is brought back down to earth.

I repeat the Cowboys defense has never been shredded in an elimination game like Philly’s defense was shredded against the Pats in the SB. I’m providing a fact! You’re continuing to spin nonsense. Getting shredded comes down to yards and points! NE put up 200 more yards and 7 more points on Philly in the SB than the Packers put up on us in the 2014 playoffs. You would have better success using the Minnesota debacle in 09.

To put in perspective what Philly overcame in the Super Bowl, the Cowboys have never given up a 500 yard passing performance in franchise history. The 500 yard performance by Brady was only the second time he’s ever passed for 500 yards in a game. Not many teams in the history of the league have overcome 500 yard passing performances to win games, especially when those yards lead to 3 passing TDs and 33 points.

I surrender to the fact that no matter how many times I show how I proved you wrong, you won't admit it.

And a late int. by Romo to seal the defeat.

your ride is waiting

You were proven so wrong it’s laughable. You continue to spin nonsense.

I love the sticker at the rear.

 

[DFWJC]

if the defense had forced a punt or two it wouldn't have made a difference. I'd love to see how you'd react under the kind of stress Tony was under

curl up in a ball and wet himself repeatedly...for sure

It's convenient to pick "do or die" games for a team that can go either 8-8 or 9-7 to qualify for the playoffs which in the long run means nothing because the team is only extending its season demise most likely by a week. Tony's teams were never good enough to win a Super Bowl, from a personnel nor a coaching perspective, not even in the 2006 or the 2014 seasons. The 2015 season was probably his best shot and he got injured and the bonehead coaching staff decided beyond all reason that a rookie QB was going to lead the team to the Super Bowl. Had Parcells stuck around for a few more seasons, Romo would probably have a Super Bowl. This organization has blown it ever since Parcells retired.

Did you even watch the Minnesota playoff game in 2009? That team destroyed the Eagles the week before, but the offensive line put up a huge stinker the following week. Romo was sacked six times and hurried well over a dozen.

I don't care Tony's teams were good enough to win a SB. They WERE good enough to win games to extend the season further and neglected to do so. That's the issue I have and whether I, you, or anyone else thinks they would have won the following week is irrelevant.

Yes, I watched the Minnesota game. I hate this question, BTW. It has become the one of the laziest and easily predictable response on the internet if there is a difference of opinion. Let's recap, you claim Romo never won because the defense. I retort saying when the rubber meets the road, the offense has sucked too and those games weren't all on the defense. You respond by talking about how the offensive line put up a stinker and questioning whether I watched the game. LOL. The Minnesota game helps prove my point that. The offense stunk, turned the ball over multiple times and left the defense out to dry that game. We didn't fail to win that year because "Tony never had a defense". We failed to win because Minnesota kicked our butts.

Tony didn't fail to win in 2006 because the defense sucked. He failed to win because we couldn't beat Seattle to advance whose offense only scored 19 points. Tony had ball in hand with opportunity to win game late in 4th.
Tony didn't fail to win in 2007 because the defense sucked. He failed to win because we couldn't beat NY who only scored 21 points. Tony had ball in hand late in game with opportunity to win game.
Tony didn't fail to win in 2008 because the defense sucked. He failed because Philly kicked out butts. The defense could have pitched a shut out and we still would have lost just by the points our offense allowed their defense to score on us.
Tony didn't fail to win in 2011 solely because the defense sucked. He failed because both the offense and defense sucked against NY in week 17 and couldn't advance.
Tony didn't fail to win in 2012 because the defense sucked. He failed because we couldn't beat Washington in week 17. Tony had ball in hand late in 4th quarter with opportunity to win the game.
Tony didn't fail to win in 2014 solely because the defense sucked. He failed because we couldn't beat Green Bay. Tony had ball in hand late in 4th quarter to take the lead. We may have ultimately lost, but we couldn't reclaim lead.

Did you watch those games? Now, I'm not "blaming" Romo for the loses. But the claims that he couldn't win because the defense are false. We could have won but just DIDN'T win. There were opportunities there.

Now, in 2016 we had the #4 scoring defense in the league during the regular season. That didn't help one iota in the playoff game. The defense got TORCHED that game. I bring that up because when the season comes down to "win or go home" it doesn't matter how the team performed. Romo's defenses sucked some times. But that doesn't mean they were horrible when the season was on the line.

High level blaming of the defense for Romo's failures is trying to sugar coat what actually happened. The entire team failed, not just the defense.

What are you talking about?

It will become clear when you figure out who the other QB is since their stats are really similar.

 

[KJJ]

Foles never played against Green Bay this past season. That’s who I was referring to.

Well we neeeded someone to take us to at least 9-7 and the ability to average more than 19 points when the season came down to winning or going home. 8-8 instead of 4-12 isn’t much better. Kitna was able to keep us around .500 too.

Our records when Romo was QB for most of the season were
10-6
13-3
9-7
11-5
8-8
8-8
8-8 (8-7 but then missed week 17)
12-4

I get you're not a big fan....and I'm not sure if you're one of them (I'll you're brighter than that and will assume not) but I've never understood why people thought we were mainly 8-8 with him.
5 winning seasons
3 .500 seasons ...
never one losing season

8-8 was the very worst
