Romo Looked Solid

You would think after having to watch Tavaris Jackson play, people would have a better appreciation for a QB who can put up a 280 yards, 0 INT, 2 TD, 112 Passing rating performance almost effortlessly. And the Cowboys home crowds have to be the dumbest fans in professional sports. Always have been.

I'm starting to believe that.

Go to 3:15 mark.


Kurt to Marshall - calls him out nicely

Check out Sapp's face

I was glad to see some downfield throws. Even if they don't hit it, which they did a time or two, or backs the defense off a little.

The difference in taking those shots down-field is getting the time from the line. A large part of that is that the defense has to respect the run. Everything is inter-related. I agree, it was nice to see.

Excellent point. One of his best games for me. I'm not a person who's caught up in huge passing numbers, I'm more impressed with the QBs ability to manage each possession and be accurate, make quick/solid decisions, know when to run, know when to throw it away.

Just awesome.

If Romo "has" to have a big day for the Cowboys to win, week after week, then it is a symptom of other problems on the offense. Aikman's numbers were never great, because he never had to carry the load like Romo has.

Romo can be asked to do far less, and the team can win far more games, if we have a completely functional offense. Romo would be able to manage the games and the team could rack up wins... and Romo, with lesser numbers would be considered a great QB.

Ain't that somethin'. Romo could eventually be considered in the same category as the greatest, and have more pedestrian numbers at the same time. All we need is for all the parts to function together.

It WAS Seattle dude...LOL

Try telling that to the Giants, who lost to them, by a large margin... and then beat the Patriots yesterday. It's the NFL man.

Yeah, we're getting legit Pro Bowl caliber play from a runningback for the first time in Romo's career, and suddenly Romo finds a way to "manage" the game. Funny how that works when the QB isn't required to throw for 350 yards and 4 TDs for his team to have a chance to win. Of course, Aikman got to play with that caliber of runningback for his entire career.

Romo is more than solid. He can be a "beast" quite often.
