How many years did it take Romo to win a playoff game?

[KJJ]

I am asking because I honestly do not know.

Have you heard of Google? This is a strange shtick you have. It may be funny to some but it's going wear thin with everyone eventually.

At some point, it's just embarrassing that fans think NFL playoff games are won or lost by one person--even if that person is a QB. How many football games does it take a reasonable person to watch before he or she ought to understand this? One? Two? Seriously.

What do you guys think?

That you are pushing it.

This guy is just trolling ...... ignore it.

I can only say I felt the blame Tony got was uncalled for. If I was going to blame anyone for the loss in Seattle it would have been BP for such a conservative game plan vs a team whose secondary was depleted.

As for Dak, I have watched this franchise since 65 the QB is never treated fair if you do not win. From Meredith to even Aikman getting booed later in his career despite the titles he helped bring. There is nothing fair about being the Dallas Cowboys QB

How about the horrible play Terry Glenn made that got the Seahawks right back into the game?

I know it's alittle off topic, but I still believe to this day that Witten got the first down right there at the goalline before the field goal attempt that Romo muffed. It was a horrible spot and I believe it cost us the game.

The OP admits he only started watching Dallas when we got Dak. He in no way knows anything about this teams history......mainly regarding Romo who he loves to take shots at.

I agree. I am old school see I believe you win as a team and you lose as a team. There were many factors in that game

 

[Joe Realist]

Dak is a bus driver. Ask Jerry....

Absolutely.

It's funny how things work out. I thought that team showed a lot of fight that night.

You don't see an ending to a game go down like that too often.

You are absolutely correct. Parcells took the air out of the ball (figuratively) when he refused to allow Romo to take advantage of a Seattle secondary that started guys like Pete Hunter.

I am asking because I honestly do not know. I feel Dak will win it all this year, but if not will the same amount of patience be shown towards him as it was shown to Romo.

Some facts to consider. Dak took over a bottom feeding 4-12 team that even Romo struggled with last season as Romo threw for 5 TDs and 7 INTs. Dak has been without Dez for a good portion of the year as well as a banged up Tyron Smith. Undoubtedly this had to impact their chemistry.

Also, it is very important to note how many years it took Romo to win a playoff game even though he inherited a much better team than Dak.

This isn't a post meant to compare Romo and Dak, but rather to bring to light what Dak has taken over and posing a question to see if he will be afforded the same amount of patience from the fanbase as Romo received. What do you guys think?

Dallas was not a "4-12" team last season. They ended up at 4-12 for one reason - pathetic QB play. With so much as DECENT QB play, the Cowboys are a playoff team in 2015. With a healthy Romo and a back equivalent to Zeke, Dallas quite possibly runs away with the entire NFC East.

Give Dak credit...put him on the 2015 team and Dallas is in the playoffs. He doesn't make mistakes, but let's not forget the other MAJOR difference is the addition of Zeke. I don't believe Dak's season would look this stellar if you take Zeke out of the backfield and replace him with McFadden.

dak can break tony;s total this post season, he would then go to SB if that happens.

Tony got labeled in that 2006 seattle game as a choker, and he never did enough to get that label off him.
He had a lot of bad luck, and that play was a triple muff, he dropped the snap, he didnt make the first down or td, and then fumbled the ball.

It was a freak play that put it all on tony, made him look really bad, and that was the start of his bad luck.
Dak seems to have good luck, which is needed to go all the way.

 

[JBS]

Why hasn't dak won a playoff game yet?

Romo didn't have his first 11 wins without at least playing in a playoff game

I wont even lie..it's a major concern that dak hasn't won a playoff game yet and already has 11 wins under his belt

Maybe dak can't win the important games

I don't see it like that at all. Of course the media does and fans of other teams do, of course. I'm not accusing you of being a fan of other teams, just pointing out that that's the case most of the time. The media loves drama and fans of other teams want to constantly harp on whatever makes the Cowboys look bad. It absolutely was a freak play, but I don't subscribe to the notion that it indicates anybody has bad luck that followed them throughout their whole career.

First of all, the play happened to Romo as the holder, not a play that he took from under center as the QB. Second of all, check out Romo's playoff numbers. They are actually pretty good. Now I know you'll bring up his 2-4 win/loss record, but that's on the team collectively. And I also don't subscribe to the notion that Romo was ever turnover prone. His TD/INT ratio is outstanding, almost elite for his career. I'm sure some will point to some of his ill-timed INT's, but every QB has those. I can just as easily point to his 30 game winning drives in the 4th quarter since 2006, which is the most in the league since that time.

QB's do get judged by what they have won, it's just how things are. I don't exactly agree with it because this is a team sport and there are so many factors that go into a football game and a football team that it really is ridiculous to do it like that, but it is what it is. I'm not comparing Prescott and Romo here and I could say the same thing for other QB's that have been labeled in the NFL that never won a Super Bowl. It's just make take on things.

 

[Old'Boyfan]

Gabe's lack of real football knowledge is, well, embarrassing.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

No offense, but QBs make or break the team. Tunnel vision is saying "well this QB threw for 2 TDs and has a good 4th quarter QB rating so he isn't the reason we lost!"

Every NFL team has good players. Romo's teams were full of superstars. His fans like to point the finger at everyone but him. Are these same people going to make the same excuses for Dak? I doubt it which was the point of this post.

If we are going to be fair about this, Dak should be given the same amount of time Romo was given to produce a winner. Dak has been given far less than Romo was given to work with... And has done more.

This may be the worse post ever. Has done more in what ways? I see you have no likes here.

The biggest difference between the two situations is that Romo was the first good QB this team has had in a long time! Before him, they were rolling with Quincy Carter, Chad Hutchinson, and two QBs way past their prime in Testaverde and Bledsoe. When Romo came in, he was immediately embraced because of how long it had been since the team had a good, promising QB.

Dak is in a different situation. If we had nothing but Matt Cassel, Brandon Weeden, and Kellen Moore for the past 5+ years, then Dak wouldn't get this kind of scrutiny every time he had a poor performance. But he's following in the footsteps of an all-time great Cowboy who many feel can still play at a high level.
