Dak Did What Romo Couldn't Do But Can McCarthy?

[Boysdaboys]

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.

There was like one minute and 12 seconds left.

Let's say that FG goes good.

Seattle still has timeouts and they moved the ball when they needed too against our D.

I would say Prescott has advanced further than Romo only if he wins this game. It would be similar to Romo winning at Lambeau in 2014.

Romo never got to play a bad team like TB in WC game.

 

[Boysdaboys]

The Cowboys can't win depending on the passing game.

I think they can. It will take a few things for it to happen:

1. Receivers getting open and/or making contested catches

2. Accuracy from Dak. We absolutely cannot afford to turn the ball over or even worse have pick sixes. It can't happen.

3. Passes leading to TD's.

Dak played a good game, but the bucs are horrible.

The 49ers are not horrible. You're likely to see the Washington version of Dak because this is a legit playoff team.
Hoping for the best.

Romo average a whopping 219 yards in the playoffs. I'm a big Romo fan, but he didn't put together many good playoffs performances.

He also was sacked an average of 5.5 a game and 0.5 interceptions, with a rating of 93.

There were some plays he missed, and the fumbled snap. But those stats don't scream choker like so many claim. He was making plays on his own because he didn't have a clean pocket a lot of the time.

But like I said, he could have done more.

“Did Dak do”, as if there aren’t 51 other players on the team and a coaching staff.

McCarthey actually has one of the better road game winning playoff percentages of head coaches. Maybe it was all him.

Dak did what Romo couldn't do: Win a road playoff game and very convincingly at that.

Because there is only one player on a football team.

Romo really showed up against the Eagles in Philly. 44-6 was the final and I’ve never seen a more gutless performance from a Dallas QB. Dak has had bad games but he’s never quit in his team like Romo in Philly. Just saying …

Every QB has a bad game here and there. Even Brady had a bad loss in NE to open the season a few years back. Dak has had some really horrible games where he has been just raped. So stop acting like Dak is special. He has a good win in Tampa, let's see that in SF. Romo never had this defense but if he did he would of won a SB.
Not sure what your agenda is but I can guess.

 

[BoysForLife]

You're right. Dak did what Romo couldn't do.

Dak managed to be the cowboys QB during an era where we drafted well and had competent coaching

I can promise you his agenda has nothing to do with football

 

[leeblair]

I didn't say that the passing game can't be a big factor; it must.
But Dak doesn't react well to being the focus of the offensive plan.
Even I will admit that he is excellent in a complimentary role.
It's not what I prefer in a quarterback, but anyone who has ever led men successfully knows that you learn their strengths and weaknesses, and structure your plan to minimize their weaknesses and work to their strengths.
So I hope the Cowboys keep the focus off of Dak and let him play complimentary football. In that instance he can be great.

 

[ArtClink]

Because there is only one player on a football team.

Again, Romo’s achievements are blown out of proportion while Daks continue to be marginalized. Oh well.

 

[ArtClink]

Total BS. Parcells built a Super Bowl roster here on both sides of the ball so just stop w the revisionist history lesson.

Another revisionist historian. Parcells built a Super Bowl roster here on both sides of the ball and Romo simply never got it done. He played w a great defense during some of his tenure here while Dak played with the worst Cowboys defense in franchise history statistically so just stop with the fairy tales and excuses why Romo never won a road playoff or Div game.

Lol, it's incredibly funny that someone believes this.

No he didn't

What a ridiculous statement. Talk about revisionist history

You also ignored the comment about competent coaching

Unless you consider Wade a super bowl caliber coach??

Perhaps you'll claim he was. Guys like you will say literally anything to advance your agenda

He’s put the team on his back this year when needed. Like last week.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

No he didn't

What a ridiculous statement. Talk about revisionist history

Parcells had us all set up. The following year the team won 13 games. Of course Jerry blew it by appointing a mediocre coach but the Cowboys blew their chance. Most disappointing season ever.

 

[BoysForLife]

Lol, it's incredibly funny that someone believes this.

Seriously

It's either funny or embarrassing
Look at the secondary alone in 2007

Terence Newman was the only solid player back there. Other than that you had Roy Williams who had completely lost his mojo, with Ken Hamlin and Jaques Reeves

Yeah. Super bowl caliber.

Competent coaching was an issue post parcells

No doubt about it

Don't talk bad about that secondary, it had 3 pro bowlers.
