Romo had his road playoff win wrapped up neatly in 2007 at Seattle, but when he went to put the bow on it, he fumbled the snap, sending Bill Parcells into retirement.

yep remember that one. Its where Romo got his choke label.

Another dumb Parcells decision. Having your starting QB hold for FG kicks. Never liked that idea.

Bill Parcells basically quit. The moment he found a real QB.

Dak did what Romo couldn't do: Win a road playoff game and very convincingly at that. But can McCarthy finally get the 26 year monkey off our back and win a div playoff game? You'll be surprised at my opinion.

I think we're gonna win Sunday. This is not sarcasm or anything but my opinion. I think somehow, we win Sunday and finally make it to an NFC championship game (remember those?). My brother has talked me into how Brock Purdy's magical run is coming to a close because defensive coordinators have enough video to study and will be able to game plan more effectively. We'll see what happens and it will really hinge on a) will SF's def stop the run and b) will Dak play like elite Dak or playoff Romo.

I am reminded that even if we win Sunday and finally get back to the conf championship, that the fuhrer is still the biggest GM failure in the history of football. He has had 26 tries at assembling a roster to make it to the NFC championship in the salary cap era, and he couldn't ever do it.

Romo was great at times and terrible other times. He could be a great QB or a chocker. I think he was victim of a bad culture, the Garret culture of selfishness and mediocrity.

Dak can be the same way, up and down, as the last two weeks showed, but, now MM is installing a culture of brotherhood, excellence and winning.

IDK if he is going to achieve the ultimate goal, a sunday win would be big step in that direction.

QBs can not do it bye themselves, they need a winning culture all around.

To be fair, the team got cheated out of it in 2014 via that absurd catch rule which was pedantically enforced to rule an obvious catch that could have won the game a non-catch. In decades of football prior to that year and whenever they dreamed up that rule, that would have been a catch. Look at Butch Johnson's touchdown catch in Super Bowl 12. He had possession and went to the ground with possession and then left it on the turf. By that absurd 2014 rule, it would have been ruled a non-catch. But it was a catch.

They started the stupid messing with the catch rule after the Megatron play. Absolutely idiotic to mess with a rule that had been around for decades because of ONE play.
