Romo makes NFL Films All-Time worst plays

[Super_Kazuya]

I actually just watched the video online (Romo is #9, not #6, but given Redball's illiterate posting style it doesn't surprise me he mixes up numbers easily). It's fairly light-hearted and more than being "worst" it's kind of just "oh no" type plays. I don't have a problem with the Cowboy stuff in the video.

 

[T-RO]

Tony Romo enjoys a career NFL QB rating of 97.1, ranking 3rd all-time.

He is #1 ALL-TIME in 4th quarter passing rating at 100.0.

That's Romo the quarterback.

As a placeholder Romo wasn't so good and that's what he was doing in that Seattle game blunder.

Anyone who fails to appreciate what Romo has done as a quarterback is either a moron or a hateful loser.

My God are your people sensitive.

I like to talk football with men. Do they exist in 2016?

 

[conner01]

We never had Horrible Defenses with Demarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff on the field. Our defenses actually had quite a few 1st and 2nd rd picks.

Like Jay Ratliff lol

Your post offends me.

You're the last person to be talking about "men". Nothing in T-RO's post describes "sensitive", he was stating facts.

Stick to trolling, you're not very good at it, but you seem to be passionate about it.

 

[Redball Express]

Lol. You really want to stir it up.

For me the Seattle game I always thought was over reaction.

But I do think he has well more than his share of football follies with bobled snaps and awkward plays when he's under pressure.

It's actually kind of crazy how he has so many pull a rabbit out of your hat plays and so many fumbling stumbling goat plays.

You could do a highlight reel of each and wonder if it was the same guy

Stirring furiously..thanx.

Listen..I'm just reporting what I am seeing.

I'm like a news reporter.

I don't make the news..

Romo news is always welcome when you are deciding if he gets to lead our team.

There was enough time left in that game for Seattle to win it even if the field goal went through.

It was Terry Glenn's fault for fumbling at the two-yard line.

 

[dogberry]

The Seattle game.

The ref re-spotting Witten's catch.

I punish the Seahawks by adding them to my list that includes Pittsburgh, Washington....

 

[cej757]

Like Jay Ratliff lol

Ratliff was a 4 time pro bowler and he was a 1st team All Pro in 2009. The defense wasn't horrible at all you need to stop using that as an excuse. We had plenty of talent on that side of the ball.

Right..thanx for the ranking correction..

Ok #9.

So I don't think it matters much.

Most of the other winners were long ago retired or selling Real estate..

but Tony continues to potentially haunt us more with his play.

Sort of the point of the post.

But you can fiddle your numbers..

but not the inference.

Tony needs to retire while he still has a following.

If he returns and plays and loses getting to the playoffs or plays another Minnesota playoff game again..

his career will be totally over.

He wants a SB ring..he should let DAK go get him one.

They will be devastated when they find out.

But he wasn't a 1st rnd pick
He was what you need to build a good team. A very good player late in the draft. That's gold

 

[TwoDeep3]

It was Terry Glenn's fault for fumbling at the two-yard line.

I prefer it was Parcells fault for not throwing at the cornerback who had just walked on a week before. The guy who used to be a Cowboy. But then I blame a great deal on Parcells. Like being too conservative and allowing Payton to walk.

Not to mention the undue popularity of any Risen post.

That was the game. He clearly made the 1st down and we got screwed. Not that we could have stopped Alexander. Very similar to GB 2 years ago actually.

I keep reading this here, do any of you have ANYTHING to back this up? Here, let's do some research. Since, most of you here seem incapable of doing and it's getting quite tiresome. Me and a few others shouldn't have to be picking up the slack of a forum of this size. Inexcusable.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/comeback.cgi?player=RomoTo00

Now, let's compare him to some of the other known clutch QBs

Tom Brady - http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/comeback.cgi?player=BradTo00

Looking at Brady's list, Brady has played WORSE in his comebacks than Romo

Peyton Manning http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/comeback.cgi?player=MannPe00

He seems to top Brady and Romo, but not by much

Aaron Rodgers http://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/comeback.cgi?player=RodgAa00

Now let's look at if Romo has a "slow start"

Here are Romo's situational stats

http://www.nfl.com/player/tonyromo/2505354/situationalstats?season=2014

His worst years in the first half was 2008 and 2012, outside of that, Romo has been consistent in both the first and second half of games. Actually, in a few seasons (2009 and 2011) Romo was better in the first half than he was in the second half.

So, there goes another "Womo suks!" myth out the window.

It's not that theres not plenty of people willing to fight that fight. It's that people are tired of fighting it. At this point in his career, let the idiots be idiots because nothing is going to change their minds. None of your stats, no matter how thorough, will do anything to change a persons mind who is entrenched in their opinion.

I dispassionately dispensed the truth. And if you said the same thing you said here...in my presence...I would dispense with you in the same fashion. PM me if you care to test me out on that.

Hopefully you retire from this board

Ah yes, the infamous drop that forced the NFL to make a rule change to keep the balls away from the home team.

I really don't understand why that play is placed on Romo's shoulders when the league outright admitted that Seattle was underhanded in giving Dallas a slick ball. The NFL doesn't make rule changes like that for no reason.

The play should be looked at for what it was instead of some gaffe by Romo. The play was set up to fail because Seattle did not do what it was required to do, forcing the league to alter the rule.
