I hate Tony Romo ***merged***

[The30YardSlant]

No, just exposing idiots for what they are.

Idiots are idiots because they are either too dumb or too deluded to acknowledge reality. Romo choked. That IS reality.

 

[SDCowboy]

Because Ben is a winner 2 time superbowl champ he isn't know for making bad plays at critcal moments.

Rivers won you get a pass when you win.

Ryan lost but his M.O isnt' for tossing ints.

also football is about when you do things. Romo turns the ball over and has a history of doing this at critcal moments in the game.. the guys above don't.

Ryan throws the same amount of ITs Romo does.

I swear to God we have the ****in dumbest fans ever. I don't even recognize 2/3ds of these user names. The only silver lining to this thread is it let's me wear out the ignore button. ****in jokes of fans...we were supposed to get destroyed by a team that played n the Afc Championship. & we had the game won but for CORRECTABLE mistakes & u all throw our qb under the bus? Dumb *****.

Call it whatever you want. It's not 'dumb' to be upset because your team made bonehead mistakes (especially their so-called 'leader') and blew a 14 point 4th qtr lead. If we played a smart, hard fought game for 4 qtrs and we came up short, then so be it. I don't think you would get the reactions you are reading if that were the case.

Yes, I guess one could take comfort in just being in the game with the 'mighty Jets', but I, for one, do not. I hope the players don't either.

 

[SacredStar]

lol at ANYONE blaming the defense. They gave up 17 points and basically scored a touchdown. They gave the offense multiple chances to win the game. Romo and the offense blew it. About ten things had to go wrong/fail for us to lose, and they all did. None of it was because of the defense

Wrong.

Had the defense not given up 17 points, Dallas would have won.

 

[cowboyuptx]

I still have faith in Romo, but this better be the last time he does this in this season!

I mean that INT was just terrible...

 

[Doomsday]

Can someone just explain to my why Romo has to be flawless why Rivers, Ben and Ryan all had 2+ turn overs and nobody cares?

Because when the game is on the line that is when great QBs win games. Romo is suppose to be the leader, he cant fumble when you have a chance to go up by 2 scores and he cant be forcing a ball into double coverage on 1st down with 2 minutes left in a tie ball game.

Because we're fans of the Cowboys genius. And guess what Rothlisberger's and Ryans teams did today? LOST.

Rivers? He was in a similar situation at the end of his game. Wanna guess what he did? He MADE THE PLAYS TO WIN THE GAME! Not throw the GAME LOSING INT!

 

[risco]

And just think, had Dallas found a way to pull this game out, this would be a "I love Tony Romo" thread.

He will be a hero soon enough.......just as long as the rest of the team improves also.

No it would not have- at least not from me. Romo still needs to work and make better decisions. He played a good game up until.... This game Suxs!

 

[Karon Williams]

Because we do not care about San Diego, Pittsburgh, or Atlanta. We are Cowboy fans. Romo choked and cost us the game with his fumble and INT.

Right it's called the cowboyszone this is where you go to discuss the cowboys I bet if you go on their forums their fans aren't happy neither

 

[SDCowboy]

Bull. In key situations he turned over the damn ball. There was too many chances for him to close out this game and he didn't.

EVERY situation is freakin key on this team. This D doesn't let us get big leads. Then there was a blocked punt for a TD!

 

[hornitosmonster]

Romo choked but we should also be concerned with Dez mailing it in. He is a beast but is not mentally tough. Revis convincingly won that battle tonight.

 

[Kangaroo]

It's always an unpopular opinion, and Romo will always have his supporters, but he's 6 years in as a starter and still the exact same guy making stupid errors when you need him the most.

1. I'm not saying cut him or start either of our other QB's...he's a very good QB, but he shows no sign that he'll ever be a winner...great stat guy, but always a bonehead. He should never run into a tough situation...he's always been a fumbler in contact. And that pass...doesn't matter what he thought Bryant would do...cannot have that happen in that situation.

Funny...the snap he wasn't ready for we used to blame on Gurode..but the whole offense took off, including the receivers...on another 2nd and short, he killed the play with frantic panic and confusion...you have a young OL...just run the freakin' play.

Romo is an above average QB, and we'd stink without him, but why this many years into his career as a starter would anyone think he's actually going to be anything other than what he's shown us all along...nice stat guy who can't get it done.

2. I couldn't be more proud of the rest of the team, every single one of them. OL was far beyond my expectations...how refreshing to see so many times when Romo held the ball and jumped all around frantically, but no holding penalties...WOW. Austin and Bryant before injury were winning battles with the CBs...Felix ran hard. Should have scored even more points if not for Romo...though I have to wonder why Witten didn't put his stiff arm out on DB and get into end zone...weird.

The defense was incredible...yes, they gave up some points and plays when Jenkins was out, playing with 4th and 5th CBs and safeties...but they played their guts out, and I'm so proud of Jenkins for battling and coming back time and again...That neck bend when he led with his head looked like a spinal injury...then the hit by Burris...either of those could have put a guy out for the game...and he was still battling.

3. Bryant looked like he either quit or ran out of gas or was injured...not sure why he was even out there down the stretch the way he looked.

This game was lost for one reason...Romo fumble, almost before even being hit when all we needed was a fg for a 10 pt. lead and that incredible midfield int...

I still love the way he throws the ball and scrambles around, but when you need him most, he's the same Romo he was as a rookie...he's going to give games away that you need to win.

Just my opinion...proud of my Cowboys.

Bryant was injured he had an IV and you could tell his legs where dead he cramped up bad

 

[ScipioCowboy]

EVERY situation is huge on this team because THERE'S NO DEFENSE. He literally has to be perfect or we can't win. It's BS.

Every situation is important, but like it or not, every situation is not equally huge.

 

[SDCowboy]

Because when the game is on the line that is when great QBs win games. Romo is suppose to be the leader, he cant fumble when you have a chance to go up by 2 scores and he cant be forcing a ball into double coverage on 1st down with 2 minutes left in a tie ball game.

Guess Ben and Matt Ryan suck then...

 

[AdamJT13]

Romo's problem he is tends to always make the mistake in the pressure moments.

That was true tonight, but it hasn't been true at all during his career. His ratings during crunch time going into this season -- in the fourth quarter (101.4 career rating), in close games late in the fourth quarter (101.5) and in the last two minutes of halves (99.0) -- are far better than any other "franchise" quarterback in the league.

Tonight, though, his turnovers in the fourth quarter (and the blocked punt, of course) cost us the game.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Idiots are idiots because they are either too dumb or too deluded to acknowledge reality. Romo choked. That IS reality.

Romo definitely screwed up (TWICE), but believe me, he didn't lose this by himself. (take a look at the punt block for TD) If you blame him for that, then you're a moron.

 

[Ender]

I never feel comfortable with the game tied and romo has the ball.. I only feel comfortable if dallas is up be 10 points in the fourth. Good game, I think we'll have a good season. But man, Romo is not good in those situations, he's a good player, but its getting a little ridiculus now.

 

[Switz]

Ryan throws the same amount of ITs Romo does.

its not about amount ints. All these guys toss ints its about when you do them.

 

[85Cowboy85]

I have always been a Tony Romo supporter, but that fumble was a terrible play. I'm sure even Tony Romo would admit that. That that a 3 point swing at least.

I'm not so sure that throw to Dez was on Romo. Usually when the ball is thrown right to a DB like that either the receiver ran the wrong route or the quarterback didn't know the play. With Dez it seems pretty likely the receiver ran the wrong route.

That being said getting rid of him over this would be pretty ridiculous. We've seen him make big throws at the end of games before. I'm still convinced if we get the pieces in place we can win with Tony as quarterback.

 

[SDCowboy]

I blame Romo for throwing to an injured Dez, Dez for not even running his route, and Garrett for putting Dez back out there.
