Imagine if Romo was 0-18 on the road against winning teams. Then fumbled twice on the final drive.

Fans know, people know about Stafford and his propensity to, essentially, lose. You can just tell from that trolling the nation thread how many people were calling for a Lions collapse as early as the 1st. Sure enough, they choked.

Stafford is not good. He's only slightly above average because their offense has Calvin Johnson.

Exactly...And it was mentioned MANY times in the media prior to the game and after that he has had a horrid record vs winning teams and a horrid record in the playoffs.

The Lions are not the cowboys so the spotlight is not on them as much but people need to quit acting like Stafford is not being ripped prior to the game, during the game and after the game by other fans, fans of his own team and the media...it is just not as much as Romo would because nobody really cares about the lions nor do they hate the lions as much as some hate the cowboys.

No kidding. Tony'd be crucified. Like, worse than the way he's mocked for how he wears his hat or how he spends his bye week.

Stafford been in the league in a while now he needs to feel the heat. I pretty sure he is getting flak in the motor city.

Matt Stafford and Matt Ryan must have nude photos of everyone in the media, or something. Those guys apparently get a career pass for everything.

Right! After all, nobody but Tony would have the nerve to go to Cabo on his bye. SMH

I think it comes down to the fact that he is a free-spirited, no-name free agent who made it big and people resent him for it.

Would the media and all the internet sites and opposing NFL fans be screaming about the flag being picked up? Of course we know EVERYONE would be dogging Romo.

Where is that mushroom cloud? Good point.

Completely agree and was thinking that very thing. If roles were reversed everyone would be saying bad calls happen every game.

You can't score 6 points after after the 1st quarter and expect to win. You can't get a sack fumble on a potential game winning drive, get a gift by getting the ball back, only to get another sack fumble to lose.

Romo would absolutely be massacred, Garrett would be lucky to keep his job, and life would be miserable here for a long time.

ESPN pretty much did crucify Stafford. That is how 99 percent of us knew of of his losing streak to begin with.
