Here's some inconvenient facts for you. All on Romo, the interception machine.

2006, Game #16 – After holding a narrow lead early in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys lose their regular season finale to the previously 2-13 Detroit Lions. Romo loses a fumble with 4:19 left in the game, down by five points. Although a win by the Philadelphia Eagles later in the day made this game meaningless, at the time it was played, a win would have given Dallas a chance to win the division title and avoid playing its subsequent playoff game on the road. FINAL SCORE: Detroit 39, Dallas 31.

2006, Wild Card Game – The Seahawks take a late lead after the Cowboys blow a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter. After getting his team into position for a chip-shot 19 yard FG to win the game with just over a minute left to play, Romo fumbles the snap and is tackled short of the end zone. FINAL SCORE: Seattle 21, Dallas 20.

2007, Game #14 – Needing only a FG to overcome a one-point deficit with just under three minutes remaining in the game, Romo throws an interception in Philadelphia territory. FINAL SCORE: Philadelphia 10, Dallas 6.

2007, Divisional Playoff Game – Upon losing a three-point fourth quarter lead to the New York Giants, Romo proceeds to finish the game by misfiring on 11 of his final 18 pass attempts. On the game’s final drive, he takes a critical sack, has an intentional grounding penalty, and throws an interception in the end zone with 16 seconds remaining. FINAL SCORE: New York Giants 21, Dallas 17.

2008, Game #6 – Romo takes a sack and fumbles deep in his own territory during the opening possession of overtime against the Arizona Cardinals. Though he recovers the fumble, the subsequent punt is blocked for a touchdown. FINAL SCORE: Arizona 23, Dallas 17 (OT).

2008, Game #13 – Once ahead by 10 points in the fourth quarter, Dallas gets the ball back late in a tie game. Romo proceeds to throw an interception that is returned for the game-winning touchdown with 1:40 remaining. FINAL SCORE: Pittsburgh 20, Dallas 13.

2008, Game #15 – Early in the fourth quarter and down by nine points, Romo fumbles on third and 1 and the Cowboys are forced to settle for a FG on the next play. Dallas would later get within two points. FINAL SCORE: Baltimore 33, Dallas 24.

2008, Game #16 – In what amounts to an elimination game in the season’s regular season finale, Dallas gets run over by the Philadelphia Eagles. Romo winds up with only 4.7 yards per pass attempt and accounts for three turnovers (one of which is returned for a touchdown on the opening possession of the second half) in the Cowboys’ most lopsided loss in 20 years. The Cowboys finish the season 1-3, missing the playoffs by a game. FINAL SCORE: Philadelphia 44, Dallas 6.

2009, Game #4 – After the Denver Broncos overcome a three-point deficit earlier in the fourth quarter, Dallas has three plays from the 2-yard line at the end of the game to send it into overtime. Romo spikes the ball on the first play and throws incomplete passes to Sam Hurd on the subsequent two plays. FINAL SCORE: Denver 17, Dallas 10.

2009, Game #9 – After the Green Bay Packers extend their lead to 10 points early in the fourth quarter, Romo takes a sack and loses a fumble with nearly 12 minutes remaining in the game. The Packers score a touchdown two plays later. On the following possession, the Cowboys drive to the Green Bay 1-yard line, where Romo proceeds to throw an interception, essentially ending the game. FINAL SCORE: Green Bay 17, Dallas 7.

2010, Game #2 – With 4:01 left in the game, Romo takes a sack and loses a fumble at the Chicago Bears’ 37-yard line. FINAL SCORE: Chicago 27, Dallas 20.

2010, Game #4 – Romo throws an interception on the Dallas 13-yard line with 7:30 remaining in a tie game. The go-ahead touchdown is scored on the very next play. Later on, with just under a minute to go, Romo throws another interception at the Dallas 40-yard line while driving for the tying touchdown. FINAL SCORE: Tennessee 34, Dallas 27.

2010, Game #5 – With 7:33 left to play in a tie game, Romo throws an interception on the Dallas 30-yard line. The turnover leads to the game-winning field goal. FINAL SCORE: Minnesota 24, Dallas 21.

2011, Game #1 – A 14-point fourth quarter lead is cut in half before Romo gets the Cowboys deep into the New York Jets’ territory. He is sacked and loses a fumble at the 3-yard line with a little less than nine minutes to play. After the Jets tie it up, Romo throws an interception on the Cowboys’ 41-yard line with a minute remaining, leading to the game-winning field goal. FINAL SCORE: New York Jets 27, Dallas 24.

2011, Game #4 – Dallas sees a 24-point third quarter lead and 13-point fourth quarter lead trickle down to three points. With 4:22 left in the game, Romo throws an interception on the Dallas 40-yard line, leading to the game-winning touchdown. FINAL SCORE: Detroit 34, Dallas 30.

2011, Game #13 – Once up by 12 points in the fourth quarter, Dallas is still clinging to a five-point lead with 2:30 to play. The New York Giants have only one time out left when Romo misses on a throw to a completely wide open Miles Austin that would have sealed the victory. Instead, the Cowboys are forced to punt and the Giants proceed to score the game-winning touchdown. FINAL SCORE: New York Giants 37, Dallas 34.

2011, Game #16 – Romo turns the ball over twice in a winner-take-all NFC East division title game. The Cowboys finish the season 1-4, missing the playoffs by a game. FINAL SCORE: New York Giants 31, Dallas 14.

2012, Game #7 – After the New York Giants come back to take a five-point edge in the fourth quarter, Romo has the Cowboys in position to regain the lead. With 1:03 remaining, Romo throws an interception at the Giants’ 17-yard line, his fourth pick of the game. FINAL SCORE: New York Giants 29, Dallas 24.

2012, Game #16 – In yet another regular season finale elimination game with the NFC East title on the line, the Cowboys come up short. Down by three points with three minutes remaining, Romo throws an interception on the Dallas 27-yard line. Dallas finishes the year with two straight losses, missing the playoffs by a game. FINAL SCORE: Washington 28, Dallas 18.

2013, Game #2 – Romo gets sacked and loses a fumble at the Dallas 31-yard line, down by four points with 11 minutes to play. FINAL SCORE: Kansas City 17, Dallas 16.

2013, Game #5 – In a matchup against one of the best offenses the NFL has seen, the Cowboys hang in to the very end with the Denver Broncos. Romo puts up great numbers with over 500 yards passing, but again makes a crucial mistake at the most inopportune time. With two minutes remaining in a tie game, Romo throws an interception at the Dallas 24-yard line, leading to the game-winning field goal. FINAL SCORE: Denver 51, Dallas 48.

2013, Game #14 – Leading by 23 points at the half, Dallas has its lead cut to five points late in the fourth quarter. Romo audibles out of a running play and proceeds to throw an interception on the Dallas 45-yard line with 2:46 left in the game. The Green Bay Packers proceed to score the go-ahead touchdown. On the Cowboys’ ensuing possession, Romo throws yet another interception at the Dallas 32-yard line with 1:24 to play, essentially ending the game. FINAL SCORE: Green Bay 37, Dallas 36.

Buddy, the question was what makes you think Romo is an interception machine. Your reply was that he has thrown untimely ints. Thanks for answering a question that was never asked but you need to shore up your reading comprehension. Now to counter your video/plagiarism of someone else's opinion, Romo has more game winning drives and Tds than he has ints. He is ranked 5th ALL TIME in passer rating. Instead of using someone else's thoughts, please explain to me how Romo is an interception machine.

My viewpoint is similar. I wish I was 100% all in on Dak, but he hasn't quite convinced me to that degree. Still, I know we are very competitive with him, and he has the right attitude and is still young and has the opportunity get better. The fact that we have twice in his three years been a rats hair from the NFC championship game is hard to ignore.
And I think it's worth noting that he didn't try to win the game all on his own, he was pretty good in the post season. Take last season. Vs. LA, I don't know of any team that produces 50 yards rushing, allows 275 rushing and loses the TOP game - and wins. And we only lost by a TD. Pretty encouraging.

So you admit that Romo threw untimely interceptions at least. No one cares about meaningless stat padding in the regular season games, like Romo was apt for. The fact remains, that when the stage got bigger and the lights a little brighter, the guy was a CHOKER. He is the NFL's version of James Harden. His passer rating don't mean jack when Eli has two superbowl MVP's on the late season CHOKER. At the time of that article, your bae Romo was a whopping 12 - 18 in late season games. Regular season champ, late season LOSER.

The criticism of Romo concerning untimely INT's, I think, is a holdover from his first few years as the starter, and some never moved past that. He did have a little problem with that early on, but after that he started throwing fewer INTs and making smarter decisions.

Troy had a few practices where the ball didn't hit the ground.
Not every practice,but some.

Tony had a few of those later in his career too, btw.
And in the 2nd half of his last playoff game, the only one to hit the ground was the Dez suppossed drop.

But this overreacting over bad practice passes is silly.

Yeah, I think I "misremembered" that a bit..

I tried to find some articles about it and couldn't.

What I do recall is both Jimmy Johnson and Norv Turner talking about it, and then Summerall & Madden talking about it during the broadcasts.

What is more likely is that they said they'd never seen anyone have more "perfect practices" (ball never hitting the ground) than Troy.

He threw many costly interceptions in late season games to kill his team's chances. The revisionist history surrounding Romo, is hilarious. :laugh:
Please document the “many costly interceptions in late season games” that killed the teams chances. Haters will make up all kinds of lies to try and help their agendas :thumbdown:

I look forward to another season of watching Michael Gallup running wide open down the field begging for his bum QB to just get it anywhere near his vicinity.

I look forward to him missing Gallup and people creatively spinning it to shift blame to Gallup.

Sadly though...this wasn't a game. This was a one on one session w/ no pressure. I seriously don't know how you over throw a guy w/ 4.3 speed that far. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what the hell happened there...but there it is...in color...for the whole world to see.

You must be in a straightjacket if you agonize this much over every time a QB misses an open receiver. This isn't remotely the mind boggling event that you make it out to be.

But, on the plus side, you would fit in nicely with the group of girls at the local Jr. High School down the street who just can't believe that Brandi is actually going out with that weird guy from 4th period. OMG! What is she thinking!

2012 vs the Commanders immediately comes to mind. When that article was written Romo was 0 for 3 in must win games to advance to the playoffs. I'll do my due dilligence though, and document them per your request because I know the truth pisses the Romo nut huggers off around here.

The only agenda are the Romosexuals who want to treat #9 like he was elite. It's disrespectful to quarterbacks who didn't fold in late season games and actually led their teams to more than two playoff wins.

Get a new QB, and if he throws an incompletion, cut him and get another, and another, and...

Ignore the bad pass, that's expected. What should not be happening at this point is Dak waiting for the receiver to be fully cleared of any defender before the ball comes out. He's still waiting 2 seconds after the receiver is open to actually throw the ball...and it's even worse because Dak already knows what's going to happen with no pressure from the defense.
It seems to be a consistent issue. I don't think it's a lack in confidence. Just something says don't release it yet. He's got to get over that

One single pass in practice and you have made this decision? This board is so dang stupid and it isn't even funny. What if I post videos of his good throws? Good lord get out and get some fresh air. Freaking out over one throw? Do you even watch sports? Every single player who has ever played has made hundreds of mistakes and errors. Makes less threads. Good god.

Christ, it's like reading posts from the mental hospital in here.

Exactly. This board used to have a lot of quality. Now I come in here and read a thread about someone wanting a new QB because of a simple overthrow in practice. It's a reason why our fanbase is a running joke. OP represents what people make fun of our fanbase for.
