Disappointed in the Tony Romo Doc

[gtb1943]

It was a good documentary…they were limited by the NFL…the NFL charged the makers an astronomical amount for actual info that contained nfl films!! RJ Ochoa did a special on his blog about it, it was a good listen! This guy raised his own capital by himself and got zero financial help from Tony…pretty amazing considering everything he over came to produce it!

Just shows the stupidity of the NFL. Letting people like this have say 10-20 minutes of game film is a boost to the NFL for all the people that will watch it.
but as usual they blew it.

Like I said. calling the QB who had more 4th quarter game-winning drives in his last 6 years than any other in the entire NFL....a "choke artist"....is beyond clueless.
You literally have it backward.

The fact that you refer to a few youtube clips as your teacher/evidence tells us all what a football imbecile you are. (not you, just your football IQ)

Like I said...it's ok...as many out there are like you.

A friend of mine is a mechanic. He laughs so hard at all the You Tube shots of people thinking they are showing something profound in fixing a car.
Like you said, the stats say he was a lot better than those that hate his guts want people to believe.

Where can I find this documentary?

It's pointless to discuss this with people like this. They are truly deranged...psychotic even.

When you refuse to look at the facts...and hang on to a deranged imagination....there is no hope. The facts have ALWAYS been there...no point in showing it to them now.

It's very sad that we live in such a world. Tony Romo is a great underdog story....living the dream. Maybe jealousy is part of the problem

Look....you don't have to be a big fan if you don't want. Just say it....

But don't LIE to yourself about it just to rationalize it...then work so hard to convince others of your derangement.

He should be considered part of our family.

Seattle playoff game is all you need to know about Tony Romo. Pretty sad...

 

[CWR]

I don't we will ever get the real Tony story. A real Tony story should highlight being coached by Parcells, how the TO drama impacting his relationships with players, JGs shortfalls, Dez caught it, and the decision to go with Dak, his retirement.

Damn, I'd pay good money to see that.

Seattle playoff game is all you need to know about Tony Romo. Pretty sad...

It was a perfect illustration of his career. Not because he mishandled the snap necessarily, but because he was so damn close and may has well been a million miles away.

On a side note, that ball was greasy as hell. You could see the shine through my television screen. Not coincidentally the rule changed afterwards.

And your post is all we need to know about your football intellect.

The real crime though was that was a game we should have cake walked through. Seattle was playing guys off their couch's in the secondary & we couldn't do anything right. Don't know if our guys thought it was going to be easy or just one of those games where you get about 10% of the efficiency even though you are giving 100%. It should have never come down to anything involving us needing to score.

Maybe he is saving all of the good stuff for his 12-part documentary.

Yes, The Romo Anthology.

I wonder if tony haters and dak lovers are one and the same ?
about him choking,it is hard to win with wade as HC, and JG as the OC.
Then JG became HC in 2010.
And lets not forget ol jerry and his meddling.
Even parcells screwed up having the starting QB holding for the fg kicks

The 2009 playoff game with GB was doomed from the get go because jerry wanted Columbo back as RT , and he got ate up
by the viking pass rushers all nite, it was a joke.
Doug free should have continued at RT the rest of that season.
Vikes were a better team that year, and they had better coaching, but that loss wasnt on romo.

The win or go home games were JG led debacles with the worst defenses in cowboy history. And even if they had won all 3
they wouldnt have been able to compete with those playoff teams.

Tony had 1 big game 2014 and there they were outcoached again, JG made some typical boo boos, like calling TO when it was obvious witten
did not get the first down! instead of calling TO he should have signaled to run a simple run play in super fast hurry up style.

Then there was the 2007 game, and even NE and GB could not beat the giants during the playoffs.
Tony was over confident,the whole team was, bad culture as usual, and by the time they realized the giants were as good as them it was too late.
The Cowboys had beat the giants twice during the season and pretty much every team they played, which led to the over confidence.

With better HC's, no jerry, better defenses, tony probably could have got to and maybe won a SB
Dak has run into some of the same problems tony did, bad HC's jerry meddling, but the last 2 years he has had a better defense than tony ever had,
and mike is better than JG , and Dak has had a similar playoff fate.

The guy off the couch, had a great game, and seatlle was a good team, as good as the cowboys. little things and screwups decided the winner along
with a super slick ball, and the fact that tony should not have been holder on FG's
He was the only starting QB in the nfl that year to hold on FG trys.

Another side note if the ball was greasy and slippery when the center got it he should have noted that and given it back to the ref and told him he wanted another ball that way the problem would have been handled before it ever got to romo

Plus, he gets blamed as QB for a special teams play (not a QB play) when, as a QB, he drove the team down for the go-ahead points.

No starting QB since then has ever been asked to be a special teams holder.
And the NFL changed the rules on home teams being able to send out non-broken-in balls for visiting team kickers.


Snake-bit

Would have never happened the rest of his career b/c he would not be playing special teams and the balls would be broken in even if he was.

Not allowed to do that until the NFL changed the rules the very next year
After that, both teams got to break in their own footballs for special teams.

Of course, they are. they hated Tony but they loved dak. Some will lie and say they liked him but they didn't. It's just like that poll, after a loss they will not click they still love dak. They wait for a win then bump their chest about beating a 31st-ranked defense. shrugs. it is what it is.

Always can use some facts.
Perfectly thrown, game-winning pass by Romo that should have sent the Giants home in 2007
but Crayton pulled up....

 

[bandfan]

There is nothing clueless about it. We have Romo's entire career on youtube. There is no secret Staubach or Aikman that we all somehow overlooked. Just a choke artist with plenty of choke artist moments immortalized on youtube.

Were there two Tony Romos that played in the NFL?

Romo's career is a good example of a football hero paradox.

He carried some hollow teams, and when the opponent was too much to overcome, he took all the blame.

He was good enough to make any team competitive, but that masked a lot of deficiencies until it was time to play true contenders.

Many QBs have been in the same position, but Romo's high profile made it easy for a narrative to form.
