News: Fox: Tony Romo arrested in Milwaukee for OWI

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Romo and Garrett they honest goodness wasted 10 years of my football watching life.

Leaving me nothing but frustrated and pissed off.

Guess this is what I had to endure for being spoiled in the seventies watching Staubach and Landry operate at such a high level.

You're not alone. We were spoiled then. It's been football hell for the last 30 years.

Romo and Garrett the kings of 500 football kept us in NFL purgatory for years.
Not good enough to make the playoffs.

Not bad enough to draft well.

And when Romo did have a good roster he couldn't play well and get things done.
The guy couldn't elevate the team when it mattered like in the playoffs for instance LOL

Things that are completely ridiculous and not truee for 1,000 Alex (except Garrett part).

Are you going for worst takes possible, or what?

When I moved to Texas 40 years ago, you could still legally drink and drive....was sooooooo commonplace for people to be throwing back a tall boy or two on the way home from work. It wasn't until the mid 90's that it became illegal for anyone in the vehicle to have an open container.

Times sure have changed

No just not a believer in squandering opportunities underachieving and defending mediocrity

 

[Blackrain]

Really bad part is Garrett was such a bad coach we would have probably been able to draft really well in those eight and eight years.

But no Romo had to take just enough chances and somehow get us to eight and eight but miss the playoffs.

Keeping us in the NFL's version of purgatory for years but hey Romo was wonderful we wouldn't have been the mediocre pile of crap that we were without him.

Bad take I don't think so it's what the hell happened you are what your record says you are a mediocre pile of crap

 

[Blackrain]

As much as Romo tried my last nerve and pissed me off when he was our quarterback I do really like him as an analyst and a human being.

That said you can't change the spots on a leopard he still has no grasp on risk versus reward and as we saw in the sobriety test he's not taking directions from anybody he's doing the test his way.

I'm very much hoping that he escapes from this mess the same way he escaped the grasp of JJ Watt that day and lives to commentate another day

I don’t think you can be mediocre and a pile of crap. Pick one or the other.

You might be right but we had the special talent back then of being mediocre so often.

That at the end of the season when we just missed the playoffs it turned into a pile of crap fast.

Lol
Not to fear though Jerry was always there to try and stuff 10 lb of that crap into a 5 lb bag and hype it into something new for the following year only for it to turn out the same way sheesh.

Okay we did have one year we went nine and seven.

But I swear I think Garrett and Romo had like four eight and eight seasons.

It was like the movie groundhog Day or a bad dream you couldn't wake up from.

My bad a couple of them were with Dak but Garrett orchestrated some serious mediocre seasons

The results speak for themselves. You can get angry at that and deny history all you want.

And the only time I had a little confidence in those teams was in 2014 when they finally let Murray share the load.I got tired of all those great Romo punts. Of course everyone blames Murray for the playoff loss. We don't get that far without him. Romo had too much of Brett Favre in him.

If you understand football, then you can gain something from "results." If you don't, then you make foolish posts like his.

Exactly brother spot on post.

When Romo finally realized that it was in his best interest to use the running game and stop constantly checking out of the run unfortunately his body was at the end of the road.

He had back surgery and for some unknown reason decided to run after that surgery in a preseason game and get hurt in a preseason game why I could never understand.

I saw him make quite a few bad decisions but career-wise that had to be one of the worst really a shame because he had finally grasped the need to be balanced and run the ball.

For sure he grew up in Wisconsin and Brett favre was his idol he modeled his playing style after him but didn't have that kind of arm.
Just the mentality.
It's a shame how his career ended if he would have had the proper coaching after parcells he might not have squandered his opportunities but he needed a hard-*** like parcells to lean on him and keep him under control

The only thing that was gained by the results of the Romo Garrett era was a sense of frustration and hopelessness along with some meaningless highlight reels that never amounted to anything in the final analysis.

If you understood football you would have realized that was a flawed Union of those two that was never going to make it to a championship.

One was flat out bad at his job and the other needed discipline to be consistent in big moments which didn't exist in that regime.

So instead of criticizing everyone's take on history why don't you talk football and give us your take on the time period.

Maybe in all the mediocrity there was some spectacular thing that happened. Lol enlighten us please
