Because the worst defense that Dak has ever had (excluding 2020 when Dak was hurt) would have been Romo's second best defense?

Huh? Cowboys had a top 10 defense in 2007….better than the Giants. And lost in the first round.

Quarterbacks will have head scratching and choking moments if they see the postseason numerous times. Its natural and will happen. Even happend to Brady, Manning and etc had those moments.

You saying Dak and Romo are basically the same player is beyond mind numbing ridiculous. Especially when it comes to choking. The only ones who thinks this is some of the talking media heads to get clicks and those fans who fall in line.

Look at eras, coaching, team structure, in depth stats and etc Romo did far more with less . Let alonr breaking down each playoff game. Not even close
Romo’s defense gave up 20 points a game in 2007. All he had to do was score 21 to win. And he did because they won 13 games…just to lose to the dog butted Giants. Now please explain to me how Dak losing to the Packers this year is different than Romo losing to the Giants in 2007? Oh wait they actually had a bye…and still lost.

JJ kept Romo to long, and he is going make the same mistake if he extends THE CONTRACT.

I agree. I mean I guess we could say the 2007 Giants playoff game where he was only 18/36 passing and threw an endzone pick at the end with a chance to win. But other than that Romo did not have the kind of stinker Dak had Sunday (until he piled on some garbage time yards and TD's).
No, Romo had many game killing ints in games to get us into the playoffs. How soon we forget.

That was the most disappointing playoff game in history. Why??? You only had to beat the Giants at home to have the NFC Championship game at your house the next week. Romo was not sharp the whole game. He could not even score 21 points. If a defense holds a team to 20, your offense should be able to score 3 touchdowns. On the other hand, dallas defense this game gave up 41 freaking points and could not stop Green Bay at all. But guys are saying Dak choked and Romo did not choke. There is more deeper issues with folks who think like that. Dak has choked in the playoffs and Romo damn sure has as well.

Romo's only year with a top 10 scoring defense was in 2009. The Cowboys defense was better in the 2007 regular season compared to the Giants, but the Giants turned it on in the playoffs in a way that neither Romo or Dak have experienced.

Minnesota was more the offensive line got injured early and fell apart with backups.
Yep I recall that too. to be honest I think I tried to forget that game. Lol. I remeber Farve just throwing balls up and our corners standing and watching the receivers just catch the ball. Lol

Dog butted giants? The ones who went on to win the superbowl and upset the undefeated Patriots? The ones who lead the league in sacks and I believe turnovers as well(don't remember exactly)? The ones who held every playoff opponent to under 20 points?

Dak did absolutely nothing agaisnt the Packers until they pulled there starters at the end of the game. Put his defense in bad spots, gave them 14pts and kept the defense on the field when they were gassed already. This is without getting into how atrocious the defense was.

Romo played well enough that we should have beaten the Giants by two scores easily. Even agaisnt the Giants defense. He is not the reason we lost the game. Crayton dropped what have been a huge 40+ gain or argurbly a td in the first half, 2nd half we had a dropped pass in the endzone which we settled for a FG, then crayton stopped short on what have been a wide open TD to win the game. Absurd we didn't win thst game by 14 pts honestly

So yea not even remotely close. You can't be serious lol

The giants went on to win the super bowl….the packers likely go on to get beat down by the niners.

You aren’t lying. I feel that was our best shot to win a ring. Just had to beat Eli freaking Manning…

Iirc that end zone pick was end of the game last play type stuff. That happens esp when you have to get it in the endzone and the D is playing that. I could be wrong but I thought that was the situation or something real close to that. I think Romo as playoff chocker is lazy fans/media narrative tbh. That win and in Washington game was a bad one I’ll give anybody that one. He threw some untimely picks I’ll give people that too but his choking narrative overall has been greatly exaggerated.
He led the league in game winning drives during his tenure because he had to carry those teams. He also made mistakes. But, no the narrative he was a choker isn’t true. Anyone who actually watched his whole career knows that!

The 13 win Cowboys losing to a 9 win Giants team isn’t a choke job? Y’all been blaming Cabo for all these years now it’s not a choke job? My goodness…
