Prescott vs. Romo Playoffs

Yes I watched the game. No, the Giants weren't better than a healthy Cowboys in 2007 and the regular season showed it. With TO hobbled, they were more evenly matched though. Anytime you lose 50% of your #1 receiver the team is going suffer. But that is irrelevant, because the Giants got hot at the right time, especially on defense. Were the Giants better than the four teams that they beat to win the SB including the 18-0 Patriots that was averaging over 30 points a game and were held to only 14 with the supposed GOAT at QB? Are you even paying attention?

You and your kind want to put the blame on Romo. Sorry, but that's BS. Romo didn't lose the game in any way. Romo made enough plays for the team to win.

Stop bringing up what they did against the Pats. The Cowboys were better than the Giants and should've beat them. 2007 was considered a choke job. They choked.

And I don't know who my "kind" is but I verbatim said I don't blame Romo for losing that game. Are you even paying attention?

Let's talk about you and your kind though. Y'all annoyingly are trying to revise Romo's career since he retired. I don't know if you guys are doing it out of desperation because you need to cling on to your old hero or if you just don't remember these years. I'll repeat myself. Cowboys did not lose in 2007 because of Romo. Romo just did nothing to win that game. This is where i'm at with it. You guys make excuses for why Eli won and why Romo didn't. This team needed Romo to play better than he normally plays. That's what you need from the QB position. Being as good as you typically are or worse? Its no gonna cut it. He doesn't have the luxury of playing with the 85 Bears defense.

The Giants have no business being in the playoffs but they believe in what Daboll is selling and it showing on the field.

Our fanbase has this loser mentality because of the 27 years of futility. I get it. I was the same way. Blaming everyone else for why we haven't won. Our players have a tendency of failing when its time to seize the moment. We can argue they weren't good enough. It helps us sleep better at night. But good teams don't use excuses and they don't lose 100% of the time because the opposing team is better than them.

I'm not blaming Romo.

But I'm blaming Romo.

Give with the left, take with the right.

Do you even read what you write?

Thats right mccarthy and moore are better coaches than parcells and payton that romo had from 03-06. Romo is the reason bill retired.

“All you got to do is kick a field goal, the most elementary of plays, and then you just don’t do it. And so I don’t want to go through that process again. Too much blood,” Parcells said.

Parcells was a complete joke by the time he got to Dallas. If Parcells retired because of Romo then he is a complete moron. That was the parcells I remember. Quincy Carter, Bledslow and Testicleverde were is QB's then when he finally got REAL QB he quit. what a joke.

How many years do you think Dak had a "good enough" team?

Good enough team for what? I never said he had a good enough team for anything.

Im a big Romo fan and romo never had a defense in the playoffs do what our defense just did. If he had, he would have won more playoff games. And certainly a Garrett lead offense would never have called a game like Moore just did.

I don't blame Romo for the loss but I blame him for not stepping up. Is that better? Jesus. So you think that's how good Romo was? How he played in that game? Its crazy because on one hand y'all defend him but the next try and devalue how good he was...y'all don't know if y'all want to overrate or underrate him lol.

The defense that just got thrown on by Sam Howell, Trevor Lawrence and Josh Dobbs? Well I hope you're right. I hope the defense turned the corner and the Bucs are actually good and don't suck.

Yup i never forgave romo for that. We hadnt won a playoff game in a decade and he fumbles a routine snap. 2006-2007 were our windows at a title. I still think we beat seattle that game we are on to the SB.

Yeah I think Bill felt the same way....probably was like **** at this point if this how things gonna go i'd rather be in Hawaii lol

Dak has tied Romo's playoff wins in half the number of years. Romo never advanced beyond the division around. If Dak can get one more playoff win and advance to the NFC championship game, the Prescott-Romo debate can be put to bed forever.

What debate are you referring to? Prescott is not better than Tony Romo. Never has been, never will be. It doesn't matter what he does in the playoffs. Teams win SBs, not quarterbacks.

So because the team lost he didn’t step up? Your logic is flawed because you’ve presumed Romo was at fault or the missing piece that could’ve done more to win the game on his own, which is blaming him no matter how much you deny it. It’s talking out of two sides of your mouth. It was his second year of starting in the league. How great was Dak in his second year of starting? He was below average. Why didn’t he step up his game? That’s the way you guys talk. You’ll presume a loaded condition and then say he didn’t live up to it. It’s nonsense. Too many variables in a game outside of his control to presume he could’ve or should’ve done this or that in some general claim.

I have no idea what you’re talking about defending him and then devaluing him. That makes no sense.

Romo was better at throwing back breaking interceptions at the worst parts of big games.

The guy who led the league in 4th qtr game-winning drives his last 6 years in the league?

Some of you remember his bad plays in the regular season, multiply them by 10, burn them in your brain,.and forget his other plays.

He was snake-bitten, but I think the worst thing for him was that once he had matured and had been in the league a few years, his teams were flat-out awful.
They had some good rosters at the beginning of his career, but man, from 2010-2103 those lineups were bad.

We finally built a good line in 2014, so he did have that. Became the first QB in NFL history to lead the league in passer rating in the regular season and playoffs.
But his body was pretty beaten up by then, and that was it after that..

So close in 3 of 4 of those playoff losses. Very easily could've won all 3....but it didn't happen.

Hopefully, the 2022- 23 Cowboys, led by Dak, take it to the next level.

He had some great comebacks as well.

Romo was infinitely better than Dak in all areas.

It's not debatable.
