I agree. Romo did not single handly win the game. Plays and drives work because a unit goes out and executes Tony did his part but only way Tony can help lead the team down the field is by everyone else doing theirs. Tony did not block or run the routs, make the catch. He was given good protection, guys avoided making big mistake.
I think quarterbacks can win the game basically by themselves and lose it by themselves. I think great quarterbacks carry their team when need be. Not only do great quarterbacks do this, but average quarterbacks can also carry their teams through small stretches.

The reason the QB gets all the money is because of their immediate impact on winning and losing teams. So for me, Romo won us the game because he was pretty much on point, receivers dropped the ball but he was putting it there for the most part. Without that solid play of Romo, we would've definitely lost the game. However, when we have sloppy quarterback play, or a lack of impact from that position, it may accidentally win you a couple of games, but you can't have sloppy QB play and expect to win 3 to 5 games in the playoffs including the Super Bowl. When I say impact from the QB position, I'm talking about doing something other than dinking and dunking. I mean, take chances down field and connect. Not be a wimp, too afraid to make plays because they may make a mistake.

There's a reason why Green Bay can't win now. Lose 1 person (QB) now the team completely sucks. Funny how 1 person makes that big of an impact.

No doubt poor QB play can cost you faster than any position but others have to step up in those situations. Staubach was one of the best but how many big time plays was it Drew Pearson or Tony Hill making the cluch catch to make it happen. Hail Mary? Yeah we can credit Roger but then again without Pearson coming back making the catch avoiding the tackle that is nothing more than a long pass and you are still trailing in the game. No doubt QB has a big responsbility but I have never seen any QB single handly win a game. For every Montana comeback I can point to a Jerry Rice on the backend of the play.

They're in mourning. No reason for them to come here if they can't bash Romo.

You're ridiculous and your homerism for romo is completely amplified to prove a point that doesn't exist.

He threw an 86 qb rating. Yes he was clutch and played well at the end.
Props to him.

You confusing "hating" on romo for deserved critism. You believe he's elite, when he's far from it. I think he's a top 20 qb and by no means an answer to this team, as he's paid.

Romo does no wrong with you guys. Be realistic. Blame him when he deserves it and vice versa.

See, the problem is you defend him and give him no fault when he plays like ****, yet when he does a solid job you act like the whole win is on his shoulders.

When you start placing the blame
Consistently, then people will take you seriously.

What is the tier below "Top 20 QB"? QBs that have a pulse?

You're proud of a bad to mediocre football team beating another bad to mediocre football team......the fan base has hit a new low. 6-10..8-8....8-8.....6-5...is an excepted record to be proud of.... a once proud franchise was only interested in talking about championships year after year, but now a five hundred record and beating other bad football teams is something to be proud about...we're the Cleveland Browns of the NFL...oh yeah!!

Welcome to the new generation, the third place team gets a trophy, everybody is a winner, mediocrity is celebrated,... Excellence is the past, just good enough is the present, meh... I tried is the future.

Team sport. Isn't that what you always preach. Why are we talking about a single player? You can't have it both ways buddy. Either it's a team sport, and it's a team victory, or it's not, and Romo is responsible. Pick one

Clove you truly are one of the haters. The Romo hate is mindless and ugly.

those 3rd down throws were a thing of beauty. might be romo's signature win. stans get one free week of no-hassle stanning. :D

I missed when all the Romostan business started. What exactly does "stan" mean in this instance? Just curious.

And you're ridiculous in your hate for all things Romo. The hate is making you blind to what's really wrong with this team and it isn't Romo.

He handled the windy condition better than MVP Eli. lol

Romo deserves the credit because he has earned it now even many in the media are starting to see it. Since 2011 no one has played better in the 4th according to their stats. He gets blamed even when it is not his fault. No doubt he has made mistakes but for any person hollering that Romo can't win or Romo is not a top QB frankly does not know ****. The man has never posted under a 90 QB ranking in a season no one else has done that. He has put us in position to win only to see missed FG or a defense allow the other team to drive it right back down to win it but he gets the blame. No doubt he has also made mistake that happens and it happens to all of them

A top 20 QB? Maybe of all time. :D


See, I can make ridiculous statements as well.

I enjoyed the win. What I don't enjoy is Romo fans coming in after every win praising him saying he won the game. Then the next week, when he loses the game, it's a team sport. ......

I'm a Romo fan, but fully agree with this perspective.
It's a team game folks, win or lose.

I agree. It is a team game. QB will get more blame and more credit every coach out there have said that. Does not change the reality and that is that QB relies on a lot of people doing their jobs for him to have the chance at that success. He does not do it alone. Romo has put us in situation where the FG will win it only to see the FG missed, hell Nick Folk cost us a lot of games and even Bailey has missed some big FG that cost us. Our defense tends to let teams drive the field on us even after taking the late lead in the game. And yes Romo has made throws that have cost us but over all his play ranks very well in stats and it is not by accident it is because he is a very good QB but a championship is what a team will or will not accomplish.

yet you're the one throwing out the twelve year old "HATER" term...

thank you, I think 12 is generous with this guy. :p Tony came through when he needed to, good job Tony. I have to admit, with the inconsistency of his throws yesterday I wasn't sure he 'd get it done, thank god he had time and the giants were in prevent. But it was a solid performance, now, I still want to draft a QB. I also do not see him delivering a win in a play-off, but we'll cross that bridge if he gets us there.;)

It's the opposite of Romoroach. In either case the "team's" performance is an afterthought and all wins and losses are "almost" entirely based on the perceived performance of Romo. Many objective fans can be caught up in the phenomenon and perceived as Romostans or Romoroaches simply because of their effort to trump, what they believe to be, unrealistic representations and ill conceived stereotypes of said quarterback.

You really have no room to comment since you obviously didn't watch the game. If you did you'd have noticed that the wind was howling throwing both QB's passes off target. Pathetic.

It means an over obsessive fan, like for example Zordon. He's secretly the biggest "Romostan" here, he just doesn't want anyone to know. :rolleyes:
