Tony Romo will be featured on A Football Life this upcoming Friday

We will never know what would have happened. But that eliminated any chance we had.

Defense could’ve stopped Alexander from ripping off a 20 yard gain on the next play

The what if game works both ways...the way our defense played, the chances were pretty strong that we wouldn't get a stop.

Romo pretty much was the only reason we were in the playoffs...but the failure hangs on him....not the others that failed to do their jobs even remotely competently.

You can always tell the fake fans, they pretend to be upset that a fading 9-7 team who had to win three road games to even get to the Super Bowl was put out of their misery. I doubt they were even born in 2006.
Now 2007 and 2016, those were real missed opportunities.

2007 was definitely a missed opportunity. I'm not so sure 2016 was. Atlanta would've lit that defense up in the NFCCG. They were that season's version of the Carolina Panthers that lost to Denver.

I can't believe he didn't score on the play even after fumbling it. I swore when he took off it was a TD. That reminded me of the SF dback barely grabbing Pearson's jersey to prevent a TD after Dwight Clark's "catch". Truly a game of inches in those 2 instances.

If you really go back and watch the play. Anthony Fasano doesn't even attempt to block the guy that eventually tackles Romo. Romo should have punched Fasano in the mouth after watching the film.

LOL ur a joke. All you do is call people fake fans. It was still an opportunity that we were in the position to take the lead in a playoff game. Giants won 2 superbowls limping into the playoffs. That team still had some talent and I wonder if we win that game and go further, Parcells comes back in 2007 instead of doughboy wade phillips coaching. Only a beta male with no competitive edge is ok with no deep playoff runs for over 2 decades, that is happy just to cheer for the team.

What about Terry Glenn's contribution to that loss with his late fumble? And Witten had the first down. That field goal try shouldn't have even been. Then a rule was changed because of the shenanigans Seattle pulled.

But mob rule always wins.

And he was one of the biggest reasons we didn't win the NFC East and getting a home playoff game when we failed to beat the pitiful Lions in week 17. Cost us a home playoff game in the first round.

Yes but nothing matters after that play tbh. Because that one failed play changes so many things.

holding a snap for a field goal that has been your job for 3 years. is different than the defense making a good play and causing a fumble. The field goal snap is on 2 people and 2 people only. First person did their job, 2nd person didn't. end of story. tired of excuses. I wish you had this many excuses for dak.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

I wish they had waited a few years to do it I think more stuff would of come out but this should still be interesting.

I wish they would do one on Randy White, Gil, Moose, and Bob.

 

[Kevinicus]

Lol the excuses are hilarious. He had a JOB to do and he failed at it. It was his fault I saw no1 else out there trying to hold the ball. We will never know if our team would have lost the next game. That's why they play the game.

If you think one player on one play loses a game, you really have zero understanding of the game.

2014 was an epic year in the Zone. I loved seeing all those haters here eat crow because Romo was rockin it! If they only had a real defense to match....

And if it does, you have not built a good enough team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand the game. That play summed up his entire career unfortunately. Above average QB play. Team wasn't good enough to bail him out of huge mistakes that he made.

I would bet most anything thatAikman never would have sniffed the Super Bowl if he played on the teams that Romo did, and I am not so sure that Romo wouldn't have won more Super Bowls than Aikman did if he was on those teams.

 

[Jimbo69]

I for one are looking forward to this programme. Tony Romo was a very good but not great QB for the Cowboys. I find the dislike for him on this forum strange to say the least.

No way he does. Romo was never the leader aikman was.

 

[CF74]

Seems a bit soon considering he could probably still play for us in the Playoffs....

While you are correct in the absolute, certain plays have a much greater impact based on when and where they happen and the circumstances. Had that play happened in the first quarter, it doesn't have the same impact because there's still 45+ minutes remaining to adjust and react. The fact that it happened with about 2 minutes left has way more impact. Anyone that disputes that doesn't understand the game. Certainly, the defense could've and should've stopped them after that play, but the momentum was all with Seattle at that point and Ole Mo is a huge factor. But even if the defense stopped them after that, the offense still had to move the ball again to have another chance at a FG.
