I agree. Dallas did not lose that game because of Romo, there were plays for the taking and guys did not come up with the plays. Was Romo perfect no but all this BS about distraction is ridicules only people making an issue of it are those that play no part in the game i.e. fans and media. Romo knows his job but can't do it alone others in that game failed to come up with the plays and TO not being up to full speed clearly made the Giants job a bit easier

I agree about the part where the fans and media make it more of a concern than it should be... but Romo should have tunnel vision when it comes to football.... peripheral distraction can have an affect on your game.

Things got to him down the stretch. He was telling the media its my business and what I do in my personal blah blah blah.

To say that these things did not affect his game in some way, shape or form is irresponsible.

To say you know that he was not focused on his job is pure speculation. Again I think many put their own feeling behind these stories that does not have anything to do with the individual person. Romo was back at the Ranch when they still had a day off watching film according to members of the team what he did for 2 days is really no ones business be it staying at home or not.

In the end Romo was not the cause of our loss, hell if Fasano and Crayton hold on to the damn ball that game may have been very different. Had the team not taking 12 penalties in that game it may have been very different. Maybe some of these guys needed to go to Mexico because they did not step up for what ever reason.

I think it very small of people to use Romo as the excuse for the teams loss or somehow he was not ready he is the QB but he can only do so much, he can't get players around him not to committ penalties and he can't catch the ball for other players

Only one team wins the Super Bowl, everybody else has to lick their wounds and gear up for the next season.

Come on now!! Im as much a Tony Romo fan as anybody. This is in no way bashing him. You cannot honestly tell me that distractions didnt get to him at the end of season. If ya dont wanna use the giants debacle. How bout 2 weeks before in Washington? 34.9 passer rating was awesome. Wow two weeks before that an awesome 22.2. Flat out Tony was distracted and nowhere near the same player. Lets get real here. He had better passer rating in the Bills game. Yes crayton catches that pass or doesnt slow on route we dont even talk about this but you have to look at the whole thing leading into that game to. Tony wasnt on top of his game the last 3 weeks of the seson. Bash me all ya want but the stats dont lie.
:skins: :eagles: :giants:

Romo IMO is at a crossroads as far as where he is going to take this team.

It is quite obvious that he loves the extra attention.

He needs a touch more Aikman in him that he does Namath. (you are smart I know you will get this)

Romo is just living his life, because he is dating Jessica Simpson? Hell Bradshaw dated and Married Jo Jo Starbuck who was a well known person in the 70's then went through a divorce and it had no bearing on anything. Romo in my view did not do anything to be sorry for, even his own Teammate TO stood up on that. People are putting their own perspective on this but they do not walk in Romo shoes.

As for a cross road? How many years did Peyton Manning endure the label of a guy who could not win the big one be it in college or the pros that is the BS that others put on players but have nothing at all to do with the game or reality it is just outside BS spoken by people sitting at a desk. In the end it all comes down to winning, you win and people are forced to shut up if not they come up with their own conclusion as to why

Without question the media was MUCH different then... but you know that.... bad example on your part.

Again different deal. Peyton was expected to win it at some point. I dont have to tell you Romo's tale. He has to do more than the others.


It is very possible that we remain "good" for several years... but not "good enough"

What did Bill tell him.... "never let good enough be good enough"

 

[BehindEnemyLinez]

Hell, I think it's plain idiotic to blame any missteps that Romo had during the last half of the season and postseason on his personal life. I think the players who are married w/ children should be more prone to distractions than the single ones. What if their kids are seriously ill? What if their wife's having an affair? Does that affect their performance? My point is, when you have so many other people in your life to focus on, besides yourself, it's easier to get your mind racing in different directions. Anybody who thinks Tony was thinking about Jessica or Cabo @ practice or watching film or during the games are basically CLUELESS! Maybe some cannot fathom having a woman like JS without being distracted because if it were them they'd be obessed w/ her and couldn't focus on their job...

What BP said means never be satisfied with your play. Romo is a hard worker by everyone’s account at Valley Ranch, him putting in the work is not an issue and never has been. Face it people got upset about Jessica because we lost vs. the Eagles yet she was at other game that we won including the game vs. Green Bay but we lose vs. Philly and all of a sudden she is a distraction sorry that is BS that people put into their own head it has nothing to do with reality.

Romo needs to be himself he is a damn good QB and one that seems to be able to work with TO without any problems something other QB's have not been able to do. Romo putting on an act for the public is not going to solve anything; he is who he is (Another BP ditty):laugh2:

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

He is a smalltown boy.
He is living a fast paced life and thats not him. Just as Marilyn was all wrong for Joe DiMaggio... Jess is all wrong for him.

She was not even the point I was making. Never even mentioned her.

Time will tell.

 

[Doomsday101]

Let me just say Romo during the season bye week went to Los Angeles along with TO to a party if you recall reports of Tony and Brittney s Spears came out, after the bye week we trounced Philly no one said a thing. You win no one say anything but you lose and everyone has their reasons for the loss regardless if it has any truth to it or not. I think Romo understands his job and what he needs to do to get himself ready and according to those who are there that has not been an issue.

I am not talking about wins and losses and what story or event preceded them. I am talking about the road he is traveling. I am just concerned.

If he marries this dumb blonde then things can only get ...... ? better?

 

[ilovejerry]

Maybe if i saw him on the field as much as i do in commercials id feel better. he is on tv way too much IMO. Look at the season Brady had without doing all the commercials. Amazing the commercials ****** (manning/romo) are also 2 of my favs but wnet 1 and done. Lets concentrate on football this year. And you can blame alot of things on him in the giants debacle. Yes crayton couldve made a couple of big plays there but Tony looked overmatched. He looked defeated the whole second half. I personally think the red carpet has unraveled a lil too quickly for Tony. Hoping this is the year he breaks out of it or we will have to call him Danny White.

Dont insult Danny White please.

Dooms, I agree with you, and I have been on the radio as well as in this forum saying similar things. That loss was not Romo's fault, I cannot understand why people want to blame him for that. (then again I guess I can, because alot of people believe what the media spews out and they take it as the gospel).

It was a total team, organization effort in that loss. Yes, Romo missed on a few passes, especially the one that slipped out of his hands, when he saw at the last instant a wide open T.O. running a crossing pattern. That pass was explained to the media and us, by Romo and Jason Garrett, Romo saw T.O. at the last instant and he tried to hit him real quick before taking a hit, but the ball slipped out of his hand. Everyone should be glad that it did not slip out of his hands like it slipped out of Favre, Quincy, McNabb, Brady even had the ball slip out of his hand to where the ball went backwards.

My son and I have rewatched that game a few times now, the first two drives of the first Quarter Romo felt heat from the blitzes, then he was not pressured no more until the last few minutes of the 3rd and in the 4th, but the only way the ginats was getting that pressure was from the blitzes that they were bringing a corners a safety and the LBs. Osi, Strahan and Tuck could not get close, in fact the only time Strahan was a factor was when Davis got a penalty for hitting him while he (strahan)was on the ground.

So Dooms, I agree with you, Romo was not the reason

 

[BHendri5]

That game was not lost by Romo. Let it go people. The giants caught a break with T.O. being maybe 80% and a rusty Terry Glenn, and the other guys did not make them pay when they had the opportunity.

I liked the gameplan, it was great, but after we saw that we were getting bogged down we should have changed the pace of the game, because it was a pace that the giants liked.

I've noticed that the giants do not like the fast paced games, they simply cannot keep up. The games that they lost were games that were fast paced, but with a rusty Glenn and a 80% Owens, I understood why we played like we did.

It always seems that when we start off game with 2 or 3 straight 3 and outs, it always seem to be a loss or a close game.
