My biggest frustration: Romo didn't get props for being good in the clutch

The thing that frustrated more than anything else yesterday was that Romo won't get props like he deserved.

There is one key play that really stood out to me. It was like 3rd and 19 (one of many third and longs due to penalties). Romo steps up to the line, directs his lineman like he always does, then took the snap. The pocket broke down, Romo moved to his right and then just threw a rocket to Patrick Crayton.

The other two plays I really loved was his TD to Glenn - just another example of him reading the defense and hitting the right guy, and then also his perfectly thrown pass right over Crayton's shoulder down the sideline for a big gain.

But Romo was so clutch yesterday. That 30+ yard pass to Witten at the end of the game should've been the kind of pass you remember as one of those clutch plays made by a good quarterback to finish off the game. But because of the blocked field goal it will be remembered as one of the most bizarre losses in Cowboys' history.

For me the most frustrating thing about yesterday wasn't that we lost, it was that Romo's astounding play was completely wasted and he won't get the props he deserves for it. Ah well, if he can pick apart some more highly-touted defenses this year, he'll finally get credit as he deserves.

Man I love this guy. He's just so poised, he reads defenses so well, and he just puts the ball on the money. There are very few QBs that I love to watch simply because of their mechanics. P. Manning is one of them. I love how he reads defenses at the line, then gets back in the pocket, always moves his feet, and then delivers those rocket passes. Romo isn't the same player, but the way he too reads defenses and just gets the ball out of there makes him so enjoyable to watch.

I really wish this team was playing up to the potential it deserves, because I have very little doubt that with Romo we really could get deep into the playoffs. That's two road games where he has been cool as can be.

I really loved that play as well. Thats why I am so afraid that we will lose him. Leave it to Jerry to think he can find someone better and draft a QB in the first and let Romo walk.

Jerry Jones needs to stick to the signing checks and the revenue aspect of the team and HIRE a real GM!

Romo had a good game...

His props will come with time. I see the chemistry between him and T.O. skyrocketing. I think T.O. just had one big slice of humble pie yesterday and he doesn't like the way it tastes. I'm thinking the drops will be a thing of the future as we head down the stretch.

You know, I really got that feeling, too.

T.O. doesn't get humbled much. There isn't anything that'll humble you like losing the game for your team. I think in a way this is one of the best things that can happen for him and the team, because he will come out with something to prove.

Personally, I'm more frustrated by the team losing than any player getting "props." But that's just me.

People still say "props"? I thought Arsenio went off the air?

I think what he was trying to say, was that the team wasted a great game by the QB.

Romo did everything he could to help win that game

With as much as has been written, I disappointed as well.

Again - the difference between Cowboy fans and Romo fans shows up.

We just lost to the 2-5 Commanders to ultimately kill our season and your biggest frustration is that nobody is praising how well the back up QB played in the loss.

I've got about 10 other frustrations before I get to that.

I understand your frustration because a wonderful performance by Romo was overshadowed by the wacky ending and the huge frustration of blowing yet another game we should have won. I will say I heard Jaws gave Romo some very good praise last night on Monday Night Countdown. I didn't hear it first-hand so maybe someone else can tell us exactly what he said.

However, none of it changes Romo's performance which was brilliant. Let's keep playing and I have a feeling there will be plenty of other opportunities for Romo to get deserved recognition.

If he keeps playing the way he has the last 2 games, some people will even start to mention him in the same sentance with "Honolulu and Pro...". Dare I say...:eek:

Two weeks ago you were steaming about how switching to Romo was a horrible mistake, and the season was over then, no? I'd be nice if you'd at least admit that Romo has done nothing but help this team in the last 2 games.

What, are you guys crazy??? Did any of you watch the pregame??? Romo was all they talked about. And during the game. If you expect, after an ending like that, for everyone to be just concentrating on Romo and lavishing praises, cmon man. There was a much larger storyline. But once the shock wore off, people were still praising Romo.

That term didn't make it to our area until 6 months ago.
