I've seen this team live or die off the arm of Romo. When the plays that have been so common to Romo aren't there then yes it's his fault.

oh geezus christ. whatever it takes, even if you gotta make crap up, you'll blame romo.

Oh, are you referring to the plays where the offensive line breaks down immediately, and Romo dodges like 3 tacklers, scrambles right, and hits a receiver for a 30yd gain?

Yeah, the fact that he didn't do any of that yesterday is totally his fault! So was the 4 straight stoned running plays, and the missed field goal.

The defense that is getting blamed in here also gave us a second chance to score points after we failed so miserably the first time with an int... What did the offense do? Failed again. This loss is on the team as a whole. There were parts of both sides of the ball that failed miserably. The least of which was Tony Romo...

If you say so however two straight weeks this team has been able to make plays when it mattered. They had a chance to tie up the game in the 4th quarter.....nothing happened but it's better to assume that because he lead a TD with less that 2 minutes to go he put us in a position to win teh game...yeah let's stop ignoring facts.

Stop ignoring the fact that Romo had the ball taken out of his hands at the one yard line 3 times in a row, and we didn't score! Just because it didn't happen in the fourth quarter doesn't make it irrelevant...

You should take your own advice and stop ignoring the facts. Romo cannot run the ball in for Barber or Felix. He cannot play DB or DT and stop Rivers. He did his job yesterday. Hos, WHERE IS MY SMILEY!!!???? I have found several recipients including DaBoys4Life...

Brady went 12-18 for 115 yards and 0 TD in the 2001 AFC Championship Game and won. He followed that up with a 16 for 27, 145 yard, 1 TD performance in the Super Bowl. He won that game too.

So they won in spite of him. Never base your arguement on the exception base it on the rule. Just because you can pick out a few times that a terrible performance resulted in a positive outcome doesn't mean that it is a recipe for a win.

A couple a years ago the Bears beat the Cards. They scored two special teams TD's and a defensive TD, do you think that's what they want to rely on.

When did Romo have a "terrible performance"?

The Romo haters are reaching big time in this thread.

It's useless to apply logic when replying to him.

[CF74]

yet you conviently left out his final drive where he got them into the endzone again and gave them a shot to kick the onside to try and tie or win the game.

Yeah with 2 seconds left:laugh2:

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Someone explain why after the game wa 17-10 why Romo didn't drive us down the field and score a TD. Explain it now go-go.

Romo doesn't catch the ball. He can't block. He can't run the ball (very often). He doesn't tackle. He doesn't kick FGs.

I didn't like the notion of him holding for kicks, but he did what leaders do: he wanted to lead by example and hoped it might help Folk's psyche (a fail, but he did try).

I do buy the notion of a QB lifting his team. Every now and then you see the exceptional player at another position doing it (Lawrence Taylor), but generally, good teams go as their QB does. Romo has shown signs to me of doing just that, but he cannot do it alone.

Romo did not play poorly yesterday. He might not have been great, but he wasn't the issue by a long shot. He wasn't last week either.

Fact is, Crayton and Williams could not get open, and Austin and Witten only sparingly so. They were all over our passing game, and the running game was, as usual, inconsistent. Our OL has been pathetic most of the season, and frankly, I think that Romo's performance since about the 5th game has been extraordinary.

Check my posting history. I've been extremely critical of Romo at times, and I think deservedly so. But I also think that it's reasonable to believe that, when you look at how well he's taken care of the ball, that he's turned a corner. Unfortunately, it looks to me like most of the rest of the team is spinning in place or sliding backwards, and that primarily Romo's play has this team even sniffing the playoffs at this point.

even if we did, you'd not care OR understand and keep on hating.

so keep on. dusting my dust is more productive than talking to you it would seem.

Felix Jones fumbled the ball on first down, and created a long yardage situation.

One of Brady's games was 16-27 for 145 and 1 td, that's is on par with yesterday's performance when the game was still in doubt. I didn't call Romo's performance terrible but some people are saying "you can't blame Romo for this Dec." when if you look closely at his numbers they were quite pedestrian. You can't totally absolve him of fault either.

Whoa, keep it simple for him please.

damn that romo. he should have stopped jones from fumbling.

Two consecutive games of passer ratings exceeding 100 and a 70 percent completion percentage. That's far from pedestrian.

Romo has not been perfect, but I defy you to show me a quarterback who has played better over that span.

He should've used his telekinesis.
