For any of you who remember watching Roger Staubach, Remember how he could play a terrible game stat wise but come up big in the end? Now most of us only remember the fantastic finishes.
Romo sure does seem to have those same traits.

I said the same thing. Staubach just kept fighting and also Staubach had several games where he threw numerous picks.

Tony is definately starting to Look Like Roger. What I always loved about Staubach was no matter how bad the game got, I always felt in my heart Roger would find away to pullout a win. I am start to believe Romo my have that same magic;)
Unfortunately, the nail-biting, edge-of your seat football comes along with it. Lord, I pray my heart can handle it. I am not young like I was during Staubach's years:D

Roger used to give me heart attacks all the time, and I was only like 6 or 7.

I remember Captain Comeback sure, it wasnt so much that he was having "terrible stats" but more that the team was way behind and he would pull it out. Aikman, as great as he was, never really did that. I honestly can only think of one game where they were down late in the 4th and Aikman's playing pulled it out, it was a game in Denver.

Aikman, in his prime, didn't get many opportunities for a 4th quarter comeback.

Kind of hard to "come back" when you're winning the whole game.

Roger threw picks in the famous 1979 comeback against the Commanders, but he won the game in the end.

Exactly, people forget that about Aikmans Cowboys.

But I remember never giving up with Staubach, I always thought we had a chance.

I feel that now, especially after last night.

Yep... many of the games in that era were over by half...

I was thinking this myself... eerie similarity ... deja vu.

with Troy you never felt this (probalby because we steamrolled people from 92-95).

i remember alot of bone-headed INTs by captain comeback Roger but never, never turned off the TV or expected anything but a chance to win.

imagine too if Romo had #88 (drew not michael). :)

The ability to routinely come from behind is a specialized talent.

Staubach had it, Aikman didn't. Staubach needed it, Aikman didn't. Romo will need it and he seems to have it.
