No way we Lose with Romo

[zrinkill]

Man I hope these Romo only guys follow him to whatever team he goes too.

Ah, when you cant answer something properly, just say "refs"...that helps.

I'm a Cowboys fan not a GB fan. Answer this, how many times did Rodgers turn the ball over in the redzone against Dallas in GB

 

[Kevinicus]

I may agree that Romo would have given the team the better chance of winning (and this is no slight against Dak or a suggestion that he is to blame for the loss), but saying there is "no way" the team loses if he was playing is not really rational.

 

[msmarti]

Dak is by far the better quarterback. Dak wasn't the reason why we lost Dak brought us back and tied it up. The coaches not knowing how to coach a playoff game is why we lost. In 21 years we have only won 2 playoff games under Jerry Jones.

Shouldn't Jerry be looking himself in the mirror saying.......maybe it's me?

 

[Cowboysfan917]

The issue is we went 0-3 on third downs while GB went 3-0 on third downs to start the game.

What's up with the "Romo only" stuff.

Is it really so far fetched to think experience could have made a difference?

Romo has never played as well as Dak did Sunday, in the playoffs.

Romo has never played as well as Dak did Sunday, in the playoffs.

This is one of the worst defenses in the NFL; Romo threw one incomplete pass in the second half(Dez drop) against Green Bay. If you think Dak is a better QB than Romo you don't know much about the sport of football

 

[Vtwin]

That's not entirely true.
I couldn't play the guitar as well then as I can now either.

Experience matters.

Wrong.

Name me any other Super Bowl caliber QB that would have lost their job to a rookie QB

Romo clearly isn't as great as you think he is. It's not 2014 anymore

 

[Blackspider214]

Yeah because Romo has never started slow in a playoff game. Lmao! Romo himself is 0-3 in the divisional round.

Dak got 3pts on the opening drive. Romo went 3 and out in both playoff games in 2014.

But we all knew this dumb fanbase would start a thread about this. Can't wait until this dude is off this team and don't have to hear about the Phillip Rivers of the NFC anymore. A playoff loser and nothing more than a stat sheet QB. Has zero leadership or ability to win when it matters. Ever. There's a reason why he was not drafted or highly regarded out of high school.

21 points isn't more than 34 points, which is what the Cowboys scored in the playoffs against the Packers.

 

[Sarge]

Dak is the future. Get on the train or vacation elsewhere.

It's tragicomic how the narrative on Romo flipped among the great mass of (dumb) Cowboys fans.

When Romo was in his prime and doing his best to overcome bad coaching and often outright garbage OL and defensive play, you had a loud contingent of the fanbase trying to run him out of town on a rail. He'd throw 5 TDs and the team would give up 6 and he'd be crapped on as a bum. He'd play through a punctured lung and they'd shrug.

Now that his age and injury history actually make moving on from him the rational decision, suddenly there is a loud chorus of morons who are acting like they always thought he was a Hall of Fame worthy franchise savior, and won't stop crying about how playing the Pro Bowl rookie who can take a hit without crapping himself and just had a 300+ yard 3 TD 100+ passer rating playoff game was some kind of TERRIBLE BLUNDER.

Get the hell outta here.

All of this is true yet we still lost to a one-legged Aaron Rodgers led Packer team. And that's the point. Nobody know how this game plays out if Romo had started. To say we would have won is pure conjecture and nothing more.

This was a response to the statement Dak played better in this game than Romo ever played. That's absolutely false. What is true is Romo was near perfect in sub-zero temperatures and robbed on a catch by Dez against a much better and healthier GB defense, including Sam Shields.

It's absolutely comical that not are Dak defenders ignoring the fact that the latter had Zeke and Linehan made a living this year running play action for Dak (while blaming coaching for the loss of going away from Zeke), they are basically comparing stats of sub-freezing temperatures to Texas weather and a stadium. Despite the fact also of GB going undefeated at home that year and a totally healthy defense.

 

[khiladi]

This is hilariously untrue but keeps getting repeated anyway. Green Bay gives up 24.3 points per game, and that's inflated by a couple of early season blowouts. They have injuries, but that's part of the game for everyone. They never gave up more than 27 points in the last 8 games they played against anyone... except the Cowboys.

Or it was because Rodgers was so good in the second half of the season, teams couldn't keep pace.. their defense was garbage and their DBs were battered and Capers was playing as soft, of not softer, than Marinelli to the point that even Aikman pointed it out..

Come on zrinkill
The games weren't shootouts, but some would argue he played as well or better in the last two playoff games he was in.
QB ratings of 144 at Green Bay (and it doesn't include dez' catch..lol) and 114 at home vs Detroit. 4 Tds and no ints either (and certainly not a redzone int)...all while managing the huddle very well. His rating was higher in the Philly game in 2009 too (114 rating 250 yard and easily could've been 350+, but blew them out). Also no turnovers.
Many think he would have had a MOSTER game at home vs that pure crud GB secondary...either that, or the box would not loaded and Zeke runs for 250.
We'll never know, all pure speculation, and Dak handled himself just fine anyway.

I won't argue either way...all a matter of opinion. They both have played very well the last three playoff games combined.

That's fair and I won't defend the statement that Dak played better than Romo has ever played in a playoff game. Having said that, there is more than one way to compare QB play. Romo had a much higher completion percentage, fewer interceptions and a better passer rating. Romo also had a much smaller sample with fewer attempts and that works in his favor. Dak threw for more yards, touchdowns and led his team to more points. Again, I don't have an agenda either way. I'm just saying that no one knows how this game plays out with Romo behind center and that Dak played more than well enough to win as did Romo in 2014.

Marcus Mariota and Kirk Cousins put up 40 points against this defense. we scored 3 points in the first quarter. how do ppl not understand this
