That 2013 Romo game was the epitome of his whole career. Scintillating talent and playmaking ability that allowed him to keep up with the best of them. Unfortunately, a lack of a full roster and Romo’s risk taking mentality always resulted in him trying to do more than he had to, or being forced to try to depending on how you saw it.

If Romo doesn’t have the blocker pushed up against him on that last pass to Escobar, he likely avoids the pick and drives us down for the win.


Borderline top 5 QB who always had the habit of doing a little too much at the wrong time. Again, whether it’s his mentality or lack of a full roster it’s up to you how you see it.

So weird to be watching a 1990s game and then they cut to a current Bud Light commercial. I wanted the frogs.

HAHA Deion blew an easy EZ fade pass for a TD while playing offense.

Interesting how often the Falcons would roll out their "Red Gun" with five wides and we would still march out a 4-3 with Jack Del Rio in at LBer. And be successful.

Trailing in a tight 27-24 game with 2:00 in the 3rd and Joe Avezzano's ST had Norton rush on a punt inside Atlanta's 5 with a huge risk of running into the kicker.

Fearless coaching.

More Irvin awesomeness.

Got called for a pushoff, then comes out and runs a deep in for 20.

Took over the game physically with three straight plays directed right at him.

This was grown man football.

Kevin Gogan literally just punched Scott Case right in the face.

No flag.

That is how football should be played.

Funny how he got yanked off the field by Johnson.

His replacement---Erik Williams.

31-27 Dallas.

I don't know about 4.09 but he was a physical freak. Just not a good football player, unfortunately.
I don't even think he was nearly as fast as he was supposed to be.

At least functionally fast.

He had no fluidity. That KR return for the TD was not exactly a display of athleticism and grace.

Just watching Emmitt live again for the first time in a while.

Elliott is really quite similar to him in how they maximize their carries.

Whoa. Definitely didn't remember Emmitt being stripped at the 2 minute warning giving the Falcons a chance.

:11 seconds left, Deion was in on offense, but too inexperienced to know he couldn't come back in from out of bounds and was flagged for illegal touching.

Left the Falcons just a couple of plays which they failed.

We won.

Onto the Broncos game.

OMG there is secret weapon Lance Dunbar returning a kick for a nominal gain.

Get ready, that is going to be our Pollard highlight for this year.

This was also back before they showed the score and the time remaining on the screen at all times. The announcers kind of had to tell you.

You kids today don't know what it was to walk in the room and have to ask what was going on.

I also rewatched the game today and was also asking myself that same question. how much time was left and what down and distance was. I miss the old games because you had to pay attention when you were watching the games a little more.

First drive, nice comeback to Terrence Williams. They really had some chemistry.

With Prescott? Not so much.

I have to say, I appreciate the down and distance and score being shown now.

It might not be a big deal when you are watching it live, but after the fact, you need that.

You could tell in 2013 that they had not fully embraced the run as foundation.

8-8 team.
