Can't blame this one on Romo

[btcutter]

Every year, I can pull up the same posts. For 8 or 9 years, I've seen this post. What does that tell you? When you keep getting married and divorced, at some point, you have to take a look in the mirror. His fans for a decade now, has blamed everything and everyone else but him. He's a fraud, he's a 100 million dollar thief, he shrinks in games like this, if this were game 6 in the regular season, he would have won this game. But turn on the lights, do or die, bye bye for Romo. This has been his motto, this is who he is, you can argue until your fingers fall off, he, and I quote, "Tony Romo will never win a Super Bowl in this lifetime unless he's a coach".

Why are you still here after so many years then? No media ( who hates Romo) blames him.

If romo ever wins a SB you'll probably come back and blame him for winning just one and all the lost opportunities from 2006 to xxxx

The odds are against Romo winning a SB: only one team wins every year, after all. He's counting on that. If Romo does win one, he'll do one of two things: disappear or explain why they won despite Romo.

Romo is NOT going to win a Super Bowl. We have plenty of time in the off season right? When I have some time, I'll go back and pull up posts from 6 or 7 years ago when I said the same things. Now why is it I said Romo sucks back in 2008, argued with every one on the board, and that he will never win anything important, and 7 years later, I'm still right? All he has to do is prove me wrong but he's incapable of doing that. It's not his fault. It's Jerry's fault for thinking a QB that no one wanted could actually win something. There's a reason he went undrafted. It's called, pedigree. Now look at the guys headed to the championship game now. All guys who were either drafted high, or was taken over by a genius coach in Belichick.

You can't make water in to wine when it comes to the QB position. He tried to do that with baseball players, and having Weeden as a back up is all you need to know about how seriously Jerry takes the QB position. This is a joke.

If you look at my post history, I said if you can make it to the NFC championship game, you can atleast become Danny White. Danny White is far better than Romo who took his team to 3 consecutive NFC Championship games. I care about results, that's the only stat I care about. I don't care about yardage, completion percentage, touch down ratio, I care about the bottom line. What evidence do you have that Romo can even sniff the Super Bowl? Have you seen him play over the last 9 years when it mattered most?

Everything I say is just fact, and judging what he will do is based on historical facts plus age plus "propensity to choke in big moments" plus back injury, plus pedigree = no Super Bowl, ever.

We have surrounded this guy over the years with everything except just giving him a Lombardi Trophy. No matter what you give this guy, he can't seem to win with it.

Why would I disappear? I've been a Cowboys fan for several decades. It seems like I'm the only one around here that wants us to win a Super Bowl. Everyone else is satisfied with a high completion percentage and pro bowls and all the crap I could care less about. Back in 93, you didn't hear talk like that. All we talked about was the next Super Bowl.

Seriously? The highest rated passer in the NFL this season ,and best performance of his career this season, took our Cowboys to the playoffs with a BROKEN BACK and darn nearly to the NFC championship if not due to a controversial call?? A fraud ? give this man a break,he left his Heart out there on the field.

I think the guy is an awesome talent from where he started but that doesn't mean anything. The Super Bowl doesn't care about our sob story. The Super Bowl only takes on the best of the best. These stats do not help you win. Playing mistake free ball, being smart on the field, and putting your team in the end zone helps you win in the playoffs. This is not the regular season, this is a whole new ball game.

All the cute stuff you could do in the regular season, you can't do that year. Rodgers was patient in this game. He did make mistakes as well, but when it was crunch time, he was just cool and calm. Not saying he will always do that, but he's won a trophy, so I can assume he could do it again. Even if he can't, he's actually done. Fans should want wins. Wins wins wins, that's it. I hear so many fans saying, I DON'T WANT SUH. We could have used SUH today.

Through the years, I've had the exact same view as you: "he's great at putting up statistics, but he's not a Super Bowl caliber QB." I feel like I've said it a hundred times. Having said that, this year is not on him in my mind, nor is this game. This year, he evolved into a QB that can be depended upon when the game is on the line. While I don't care for the deep ball on 4th and short (we don't know that it was his call), he did his job and put the ball exactly where it needed to be.

If anything, blame Dez for not completing the catch on a beautifully thrown ball. That pass is exactly what I've been calling for all year, you have a monster at WR, let him roar and over power smaller DB's.

In closing, blame Romo for years past, he's blown plenty of big games, but place your blame elsewhere this year, it's not on him.

Understand what your saying about stats etc, both QB's made mistakes, I bet you, no controversial call, we win the game and your not calling out Tony,
Point is he put us there to win ,threw an awesome pass to Dez, Dez makes an awesome catch and the D#^# Ref's took it away...if not we win and Tony is not a fraud anymore is he?

This is probably the first rational posts I've seen tonight.
Let's just say you are right about the pass to Dez, he was told to do it. If that's the case, I'm assuming he had no permission to audible the play , as he did earlier in the game when we could have somewhat put the game away at the end of the 2nd quarter. Then I won't blame him if he didnt' have permission, because that ball was thrown perfectly, but you are relying on a miracle play, a low percentage play, and why are you relying on that? Because earlier in the game, you took a numb skull sack, twice. The first sack, he should have sent that ball 3 rows up. Now it's 2nd and 10, not 2nd and 18. If it's 2nd and 10, we probably run the ball instead of passing it. From there we have a shorter 3rd down to connect on which he was pretty decent at doing this game. He was not bottled up, until after ample time to throw it. So that play alone killed a crucial drive that extends out lead.

It's those small plays like that a Star QB should not make, ON THE ROAD, hostile crowd, terrible field conditions, win or go home games. The guy is simply nervous in games like that. He's always been, and because he gets too nervous, he chokes. And with all due respect, he made countless mistakes in this game, which means, he choked.

Those are if's. I'll bet Jim Kelly from the Buffalo bills who went to 4 consecutive Super Bowls, incredible, has a ton of ifs. But the bottom line is, he was a habitual choker, and Romo is the modern day choker who can't even make it to the NFC Championship game after 9 tries. Both QBs made mistakes, 1 QB out scored the other.

We had them 14 to 7, Romo had the advantage, and could not manage to score 2 more touch downs. His job is to stay in front of that team when he's up. He didn't do it, he sucks, he's always sucked, and this is why we should have moved on 5 years ago. We've wasted 5 years, now we'll waste another 3 years until his back breaks completely, and now we'll be 22 years without a Super Bowl appearance. Landry would puke.

Dude, no doubt, he made mistakes today, especially taking the sacks, but he didn't make the back breaking mistakes that he was making prior to this year. No matter how you swing it, Dez completes the catch, we're not having this conversation. Neither of us know, nor will we ever know who made the call, whether he had the ability to audible out, etc...

Trust me, I have zero issues calling him out when he ****s up... just not seeing it this year. By the way, we suddenly forgot how to call plays on offense from the two minute warning in the first half on, it's like we forgot what got us to this point, the running game.

Romo's true stat line (not counting the job on Dez's catch):

16/19 (84.2%)
222 Yds (11.7 YPA)
2 TD (10.5%)
0 INTs
Rating : 150.4

It's a habit of doing those types of things, that always puts us at home this time of year. It's a habit. That throw to Dez, you are putting all your marbles on that one throw when their were countless other plays that needed to be made during the game. That play did not make or break us. The end of the second quarter was the downfall for us.

Making excuses for Tony Romo is a habit. It's a bad habit. You can make all the excuses in the world, but the QB is responsible for putting your team in the end zone. We did that three times today. What's more pathetic is that after that terrible botched play by Romo audibling out of a run in the later part of the 2nd quarter, from there we were not the better team. That's all it takes sometimes. You are not going against Stafford or Philly's third string QB or RG000, we are playing against the best of the best. Romo's legacy was on the line, it's up to him to deliver and he didn't. That's his legacy.

He should have thrown the ball away on a couple of those sacks.

If he does that last week vs Detroit we aren't playing tod

So basically you're saying that anything short of a Super Bowl win means Romo choked?

Actually, I'm going to change my tone. I've had time to reflect now. I actually went to ESPN and read an article about the Dez catch, and listened to all the comments on there and the comments on there just made me look at things differently, so I'm going to change my tone and this is why.

To me, I thought a lot of us could have done things differently in this game, but for once in my life, I think that we may actually be a defensive line away from being a True Super Bowl contender.

I have to apologize for the things I said about Romo, I take them all back. I"m no longer going to blame this on Romo but the entire team. Romo is a small school QB, who has come a long way and has climbed all the way up to this day on sheer heart. The guy has taken some beatings, played with a bad back, took shots all year long and just kept coming.

Romo has done some wonderful things this year, that's why I've been Team Romo most of the year. I do believe still he made major mistakes in this game, but I also think that collectively, we just really had no legit chance. This defense is put together with duct tape. I believe that even if that Dez touch down was not called back, we would have lost the game because Aaron Rodgers figured out that we could not afford to blitz him, he would have ample time to throw, and that alone indicated to me that they would have just marched down the field, ran the clock out and just kicked a field goal to win it.

Until this team puts ALL resources in DT/ 2 Edge rushers minimum, 1 free safety and one offensive linemen, we can't compete on a regular basis, legitimately, with the Green Bay's of the world.

I'm also changing my theme and saying, I DO think Romo can win a Super Bowl. I'm not as irate as I was, even an hour ago, it's time for me to just let it go and get on Romo's bandwagon. If I'm being honest., secretly, he's made me proud this year. That little duffus darn near messed around and won an MVP, he just doesn't complain, he just goes out there and makes things happen.

I apologize to everyone here tonight, I made a fool of myself and years' past. My biggest apology is for Hostile. I said some of the most hateful things and had some of the most bitter sparrings with Him back before he quit being an Admin, it's just a freaking game. Hostile is a legend to me and I wish that he would post here more often. Earlier last year, I almost had a tragic death, and getting in to it with fellow brothers is just not worth it for me.


Romo was heroic this year, and I pray that Jerry Jones smells blood in the water, and puts an identical Runner as Murray except faster, get a better back up QB for Romo, build an amazing defensive line, and find speed speed speed at free safety.

I'm going to just chill out from here, MOSTLY, lol. I"m sorry again, it was a wonderful year, and let's just get ready to come back next year because with this offensive line, we are always going to be a contender from now until Romo retires.

Go Cowboys!

Hes never had a legit defense lol, you need one to win the Superbowl
