12 of 21 for 163 yards 1TD

[ScipioCowboy]

If I told you that Saturday that Romo's game before the last drive would be 12-21 for 163 yards and 1 touchdown would you say that he had a good performance? Now really think about this before you answer.

Yes. I would. Twelve of 21 for 163 yards and 1 touchdown is a passer rating of 97.9 -- a good, efficient performance.

And if you take away that TD and add an interception and a fumble he was terrible yesterday.

then if you add in a flopped ball handed to a blitzing defender rather than MBIII while backing up into the opponents endzone and he would be really atrocious.

... against one of the best teams in the league and a perrenial December power.

I would have said we won that game.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Why be good when you can be spectacular? Don't accept "good". When the team starts to be happy with "good" play instead of spectacular, the next logical step if for them to accept mediocre.

Actually, if you're consistently good, you're probably in the playoffs and challenging for the Super Bowl. Aikman was seldom spectacular.

and if my aunt had balls shed be my uncle.

 

[BrassCowboy]

Wow, Romo has been our qb that long, keep failing.

no, but those guys before him had to of babysit him or something cuz romo is of the devil i tell ya.

 

[BrassCowboy]

That is unacceptable. In week 22 last season Brady was 22/0 for 590 yards and two pregnant super models...

you guys are killing me here..... lol

 

[AbeBeta]

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.

an onside kick that we incidentally would have had more time for had one of the WRs run a route instead of assuming spike.

That is not correct. Troy was spectacularly accurate with his passes.

I think you confuse on-the-field spectacular with fantasy-football spectacular

That was Romo's stats before the final drive. Last week he was lights out and his performance was certainly good enough for the Cowboys to win. Against the Chargers his performance contributed to the loss. Twelve completions out of 21 attempts for 163 yards and 1 TD is not going to cut it.

Those are pretty good stats for only 21 attempts and on just seven possessions.

Last week, when you say he was "lights out," he had he had 135 yards and one touchdown after his first 21 attempts. This week, it was 163 yards and a touchdown.

And last week, those 21 attempts came on our first five possessions. We had a sixth possession in the first half. This week, we had only six possessions in the first three quarters.

:laugh2: :laugh2:

You got me dying over here, hilarious!!

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Don't talk ill will towards my boy Romo!!

Not his fault the defense doesn't make plays and Barber can't run one yard in 4 plays!

 

[zrinkill]

Are there really clueless people still trying to blame Romo for this teams failures?

Gebus!

 

[Doomsday101]

I don't think Romo was the reason we lost the game. One of the main keys is to avoid turnovers, I'm sure there were some plays Romo would like back but over all his play has been very good this season. He no doubt got off to a slow start but when you think about the fact he has 7 ints and 3 of those came in week 2, Romo has been playing as good as any QB out there.

That's right, a 7.8 YPA and a 97.9 QB rating (with no fumbles and just one sack) are truly pathetic.

By the way, on his first 21 attempts, Rivers was 12 for 21 for 155 yards, no TDs, an INT and a sack.

Oh just quit with the facts! Stop it!

Now that's just dumb.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yeah with 2 seconds left:laugh2:

But if you recover you get at least a shot. We've all seen people win games with 1-3 seconds left in a game.

It's not ideal but the fact that they had the shot at all is better than having none at all.

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

Clearly that's on Romo as well. He must have forced him to fumble in that situation.

Just like someone pointing out he didn't complete a pass for a while there. I guess those 3 or 4 drops by our WRs were totally on Romo as well. Darn him for not throwing the ball down the field and then running down there and catching it himself.

 

[NextGenBoys]

Look deeper than the stats..

The problem is the offense can't score when they get into the redzone.

We score, it's just only through the air.

For all the Power football that folks around here love, it continually evaporates in the red-zone.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Gebus!

Of course. There always will be. Since they can't actually blame it on him, they can't blame it on his reckless play and the INT's that come from it now they're going to resort to blaming him for receivers dropping balls, RBs fumbling or not gaining a yard on 3 straight runs. Most importantly now that he's not being reckless, and taking chances, to try and win now he's at fault for not taking those chances. The same ones that he got blamed for losing games by taking now they want to turn around and blame him for losses cause he wont take them.
