10 years ago today - Cowboys vs Broncos

[rags747]

Romo‘s career was either a Lightning Bolt like the movie The Natural or a total earthquake. Very very Favre like. Better teams and he would have Rings! Romo would be absolute Killer with this current team. Love Romo btw…

If I remember correctly, trolls and Eagle fans all blamed Romo for losing the game too.

He did make a terrible decision, forcing a ball to Gavin Escobar who had three defenders around him. He was the last player you wanted to go to in that situation.

Okay what about 2nd and goal at the 17 yard line with 3 minutes left in the game up 7. Could somebody help out the QB in that situation or naw? Oh that's right we only remember what the best player on the team does. Dude did nothing to lose that game. He was the ONLY reason we didn't lose by 30.

 

[CWR]

Wow 10 years! Can't be right. That game was such an accurate representation of Romo and his time in Dallas. What a shame.

 

[JayFord]

And as usual it was split down the middle and people blamed Romo

not the defense that gave up 51 freakin points

that was a horrible week of trying to explain to people around me that it wasnt romo fault

Romo played a great game but when the game was on the line he did throw a pick. Untimely turnovers were his nemesis. The defense didn’t get it done for sure. It certainly wasn’t all Romo’s fault we lost. I’m not going discuss this any further. These Romo debates can go on forever.

Can't believe it's been 10 years since this game.

it's also ironic that many fans blamed Romo for that last interception even though we know if you bring in context his lineman got pushed back into him as he was following through and the ball sailed again blamed the quarterback for a loss that played his *** off in the game there was no defense.... The irony is thick it's happening again with this present day quarterback oh it's the quarterbacks fault even though he wicked toe to toe at one of the best there was no deep ends and if it wasn't for his arm getting hit who knows we may have won that game #legendTonyRomo

Here we go I just mentioned it above I come across your post do you remember context literally his arm was hit during a follow through his lineman got pushed into him the ball sail got picked now you're blaming the quarterback you're right because you're one of the dudes on here blaming #4 for every one of his interceptions when you don't bring in context for each one I remember that game like it was yesterday hit his arm he got bumped into during his follow through he literally could not finish the follow through the ball sailed that's on the quarterback huh unsightly it was untimely for the offensive line to once again fold for the Dallas Cowboys because that's a bigger problem here is having not enough healthy offensive lineman give a nice enough pocket long enough on a consistent basis week to week and then we blame the quarterback for issues

how about we blame the defense number one offensive line number two OK #4 gets this same nonsense from you guys and it's ridiculous he got hit go look at the game

It's really not even a debate. Romo did nothing to lose the game. He kept us in it.. that what his entire career was. Keeping us in every single game with little help from anyone...even his offensive players. (Dez Bryant, Patrick Crayton, ect ect never making a play for him) Imagine Romo with a defense that scores 2 Td's a game. Unstoppable multiple SB winning QB.

Back then the QB always took the heat for int's. If that game was played today, and played out exactly the same, Escobar would have been blamed for the int because he "didn't cross the face of the defender". And/Or the O-line because "how do you expect the QB to do anything with all that pressure in his face". And/Or playcalling because..... well, you get the drift....

 

[Teague31]

Give me Romo with todays defense and we cruise to a SB

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

that '13 season was so up and down it was crazy.

Sucks that one int was from the tackle knocking into romos foot, what a great game from him

Yes, and that game may have been Romo's best game if not for the interception, which I still argue wasn't entirely his fault. If not for his foot being stepped on, I think that the pass would've gone where it was intended. Unfortunately, our defence was horrible that season.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I was so mad after that game. The days of awful defenses.

You would think, after that season, that it wouldn't have taken until 2021 for the FO to value defence.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

nope, Jason Garrett would find a way to snatch defeat, every dang time

Exactly, now, if he had Andy Reid (who the FO could've hired that offseason), Mike McCarthy, or any semblance of a legitimate coach instead of one the FO was trying to train on the job, I think Romo would've been able to get us to a SB...... assuming the FO put value into our defence at the time.

I was in my second year of college at the time.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Those were the days when we wished for a half decent defense to go with the offense.

why dont we get all together , Sigh , LOL

The teams from 2010-2013 would have been Superbowl contenders if they had a slightly above average defense. We saw what happened in 2014 when they started playing a little D.

Romo's career was really completely wasted by Jerry's inability to surround him with a good supporting cast outside of a few seasons.

Thats a stretch. 2013, maybe. Before that, no. That team was not contending sans Frederick and Martin, regardless of the performance of the defense.

 

[DanTanna]

How many times did Romo win that game for us? 4 times, 5 times? Only to have the defense SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

I'll take a 5-1 ratio every single day.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

In 2012 you were 6th overall in total offense. In 2011 you were 11th. In 2010 you were 7th. Those teams absolutely would have been tough outs in the playoffs with an average-above average defense.

 

[JD_KaPow]

That Romo one unfotunate interception was the game.....

That drives me nuts. Manning ALSO threw an interception in that game and the Cowboys turned it into a TD. But because Manning's INT came early and Romo's came late, the narrative became that Romo lost the game. The defense gave up 51 points and Romo got blamed.
