Corner route, he had the db beat and stopped because he wasn't the primary receiver. Even the booth announcers were flabbergasted on why he quit. The next play was 4th down 3dl came free... it was either throw it or take the sack!

You weren't listening to the announcers then. They flat out called it a hesitation move and mistimed throw.

You gotta be joking. "The Catch" is by far the single worst moment in Cowboys history. It ended the long standing "Landry" dynasty and started a new one with Walsh. I was a kiddo (5 yrs old) but I knew what happened then and I still know it until this day. It was huge.

I rarely get upset about celebrities or sports people that die but when Bill Walsh died, I admit, I got a little choked up out of respect. That guy was brilliant and I would never say that often about coaches on other teams all the way growing up.

You're not honest. You're bitter. About what I'm not sure. Don't know you're life.

The truth just defends itself. Nothing about being bitter. The bitter one's cant accept that Romo wasn't elite like Brees, Manning, etc.

Crayton quitting his route!

Previously to that, Crayton dropping the pass over the middle. That hurt more than Jackie Smith dropping the touchdown pass. It would be equal to Alvin Harper dropping the slant that won us the Championship game against the 49ers. Say what you want about Alvin, but the dude is clutch compared to what I don't want to say about Crayton. The play you're referring to looked like an overthrow until you saw the replay. That was a perfect pass by Romo, but we didn't have Harper, we had Patrick.

Regular season stat padder, late season choker. We're well aware of this pathetic narrative to artificially inflate Romo's legacy

2 playoff wins. He's not HOF bound no matter how bad you may wish it.

Funny that all the other QBs on that list have far more playoff success than Romo

You gave your opinion and I countered with actual facts. Your rebuttal is a team stat? I also literally stated in one of my posts he was not HOF but basic reading comprehension once again eludes you. You are vehemently tearing down another man. Think about that for a second. Twenty out of your last thirty posts have been about how another man is not as good as people think. Get it together bud.

Tearing down the facade that Romostans build up, not the man. Learn the difference. I'm on my phone and this makes communicating more difficult so I stick to quick takes. Ya'll are the one's who became defensive when I pointed out the simple fact that Romo is just as responsible for the 2007 loss as anyone else. And btw, isn't it ironic that ya'll want to vehemently tear down Crayton in an effort to apologize for Romo?

Now I know you didn't see the game. The announcers specifically were critical of Crayton for quitting on his rout.
Before you tell a lie to someone it's best if they don't know the truth.

I just got done watching it pal. I'm good at video editing so will crop a clip and make sure you witness with your own eyes and ears.

Again, reading comprehension bud. I never even mentioned Crayton in any posts but you are obviously crazy and are mixing people up.

The Dez play probably hurts the most because that was the best chance at a Super Bowl that I've seen our team have yet since I've been watching the sport. After that would probably be the 2016 playoff game against the Packers because I wanted to see Dak and Zeke do the improbable (win the Super Bowl as a rookie duo).
