Coming to you straight out of a bar in Giants territory, (where it was very quiet I might add) Tony Romo has just gone 3 games without an interception for the 1st time (possibly 2nd from what I have read) The score reflects pretty much what I anticipated it to be. Can't complain with a 3 touchdown win. Time to give props to Tony for managing another win. A win is a win is a win. It was nice to kick back and feel comfortable for most of the game. Granted, we should have beat this team hands down; which we did, but our team is now starting to play as one unit. Not Romo against the world, but 53 against whomever it is we play. Kudos to our Offensive line and ball management. We kept the penalties down and played smart football.

I'm very concerned about next week after watching the Eagle's performance. Our secondary is going to have to come up big! But I had to pop in here and give some props to Tony for playing another terrific game.

Great win Cowboys fans!

Not sure about how many games previous, but he's never had this many pass attempts without an INT.




Im still trying to keep things in perspective. We had 3 impressive wins in a row last year with the return of Romo and he melted down in Pittsburgh. I want to see this type of play from him, and the whole team, these next two games on the road in two tough places to play against two good teams.

I was worried about Romo's confidence at the beginning of the year, but ever since the Denver game, he has looked like a completely different quarterback. I think the chemistry between he and Miles is the reason for this. If you notice, his best games are where he gets Austin involved.

The fact that he runs it and throws it away as well as taking the sack at times without fumbling it have gone a lot further than can be imagined.

Except for the late fumble, almost a perfect game for Romo. His completion percentage wasn't that great, but most of them were due to Roy Williams throws and couple of drops by Witten which was uncharistic of him.

I think it was more Romo then not. He missed Crayton, Witten and Roy three times that I saw. I don't know why but he just seems to throw the ball inaccurately at times. I don't know why but his completion % is down this year. In fact, it's gone down about every year since his first year, which was his best.

Weren't we a little "safer" in the kind of plays we called with Romo his first year?

Romo played pretty good, and the fact he isnt throwing picks is huge. Still, he was a little off today and definitely wasnt as sharp as he was vs Atlanta.

He did make several good throws though and made some yds with scrambles, and thats definitely better than taking sacks.

he was under more pressure today than the atlanta game. that is my one negative from today, We didnt seem to handle the blitz that well, especially right up the middle. Romo missed about 4 throws today that I remember off the top of my head because he was getting hit as he threw the ball.

the throw deep down the field to witten, romo got clobbered on and the throw was inside and could have been picked and then the throw to austin in the third qtr, romo just layed it out there and got blasted...had austin looked back sooner he might have caught that and scored......he didnt seem to recognize the team was blitzed though.

i expect romo to struggle next week. They play good defense and they will most certainly bring pressure up the middle.

Romo - 3 TDs, 0 Int

That's the third time Romo has done that this season, and we're only seven games in. Roger Staubach is the only Cowboys quarterback who has done it (three or more TDs and no INTs) four times in a season.

Aikman did it only seven times in his entire career, with three of those coming in 1992. This was the sixth time Romo has done it in his career. Staubach did it 11 times in his career, which is the franchise record.
