I will repeat my opinion one more time so that you understand. Romo has a history of turnovers in games against the better teams in the league (above .500 winning percentage). Some of these games have been the last games of the season in a win or go home situation. There is another thread where a poster lists ten games off the top of his head , but that is not all of them. Romo's winning percentage is horrible against teams that has winning records and he has made turnovers in many of those games . The turnovers have caused the team to lose these games. The two examples that I have used in previous post is the Lions game ( even Bobby Carpenter got an interception) and the Jets game that was played on a Sunday night. Romo turned the ball over twice late in the game and the interception by Revis sealed the win for the Jets. This is just a couple of examples. Are you wanting to deny they happened? If these two are not good enough, there is many more. I can't understand why the truth offends the Romo-lovers. The only group that wants to deny the problem exists is a small portion of the Cowboys' fanbase. When the media , other football fans, players,and even a good percentage of Cowboy fans point out that Romo has a history of late game screw-ups, they are labeled as haters , trolls, fans with no knowledge of the game, ignorant and even being biased. That name calling is coming from a small group of Cowboy fans that refuses to see what the rest of the world sees. I guess the entire world is wrong and this small group is the only knowledgeable football fans on the planet. I can at least respect the Romo lovers that admits Tony has this history of turnovers. It is dumb to deny that it has happened when the turnovers gets replayed on ESPN for an entire week after they happen. The defense is causing some loses, but the turnovers are caused by Romo. The defense doesn't throw interceptions. I have said that Romo is a good QB, but he has a couple big flaws in his game. I don't consider that statement as bashing, but I am a hater for saying it in many poster's eyes. I kinda like the label.
As far as I'm aware, no one's denied that Romo has a "history of turnovers" in the general sense of that phrase. Where we part ways is when you act like his history of turnovers is somehow worse than that of other QBs in the league. He has had some epic meltdowns. But his overall stats are elite. Stats look at an entire career, and you're cherry-picking a few games. So which one is going to be considered the rule, and which is considered the exception? An entire career, or a few games?
I know, it's hard for you to forget those times when you were clutching your binky crying into your pillow after we lost games to the Jets and Lions. But what about those games where he beat undefeated Peyton Manning and undefeated Drew Brees? Are they that easy to forget?
So yeah, when you focus on the meltdowns and ignore the triumphs, you're going to get the hater label... I don't see why that's any more unfair than labeling Romo a choker.
