Jerry Jones: “Tony played the best game of his career.”

[Nirvana]

25/36
506 passing yards
5 TD passes
1 BIG Int

QB rating: 151.6


He played a great game, bad decision at the end, but overall an excellent performance.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He didn't say anything about the defense?

 

[SDCowboy]

He did play the best game of his career. Too bad the D failing to stop Denver one single time ruined it.

Romo was fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.

No one...NO ONE...thought we would be in that position before the game started. There is one reason and one reason only this team put up 48 against what some consider the best team in the league.

Romo. Period. End of discussion.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Romo's in for a long week. Because people will simply ignore the defense's performance. 500-plus yards, five touchdowns, and 48 points, and Romo choked? Yeah, okay.

 

[Thatkidbob]

JJ is 100% correct.

Too bad it'll be lost on the folks that don't realize that THIS is whats wrong with the team. Romo has to play perfect games for the cowboys to win consistently.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Is Jerry already talking? They need to forget this game and move on to Washington. No time to dwell.

 

[Sean50Lee]

Anybody who blames Romo for the lost don't know anything about football. period.

I was saying that myself until that pick. I don't think I would say that after the pick, but then again, it would require some major cogitation on my part to think of a game where he was better.

Sucks that he threw that pick at the end, but at the same time, it's asking a heck of a lot from your quarterback to play that flawless for that long.

I was one of the ones that was somewhat critical of how conservative things had been with Romo and the offense through four games so I'm actually encouraged by the game, all things considered.

I honestly don't think the media will. Just an idiotic portion of the fans.

 

[The Quest for Six]

who cares what Jerry Jones has to say.....nothing but a snake oil salesman

 

[Chappy]

What did he say about the Defense and Garrett's performance???

That silence will be deafening.

 

[CATCH17]

Romo played great but yes he choked in the end.

Romo is judged in the clutch moments of games and he once again showed why he has the perception that he does.

 

[Vintage]

I honestly don't think the media will. Just an idiotic portion of the fans.

That is no longer a portion. Its a vast majority. Probably 80% or so. I suspect a lot of inbreeding.

 

[Gus]

I disagree: Romo doesn't need to play a 'perfect' game he just needs to stop making dumb decisions: 2:36 left, with the ball, three timeouts, at home...the great ones win these games...Romo is what he is and we've seen this before. He doesn't 'stink' as some will say here...just my opinion...

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Romo played like his gunslinger days. He was throwing the long ball accurately, escaping. I wonder if it was just for today based on Broncos D and will he revert back to his conservative style vs Commanders.

bad decision at the end.

 

[Jerryrage]

Tony Romo was on fire, you can't expect to win this game with the way the defense was napalmed. Just carpet bombed up and down all day. Never seen that before and this scheme sucks.

Peyton makes the throw to the RB there, not the covered TE, and Tony needs to fine tune his thinking on 2nd and long there. He didn't need to try to force that throw in there, and should have realized that the LB may recognize the play as he had run it before.

A great game overall though.

Or he, you know...throws an INT like he also did in the game......
