"You" being Romo haters.

You gotta go easy on him. Yesterday was a tough loss for him and the guys in their club. Romo was clutch in a significant spotlight game with a big TV audience. The other guy in blue, not so much.

 

[TwoDeep3]

All the haters I'm sure were hoping for Romo to throw a pick and lose the game so they could come here all bowed up and ridicule him. All the ESPN talking heads were probably already writing there Romo sucks articles

Absolutely ridiculous and unsupported comment by any evidence at all.

This game offered no more or less stress on Romo since he has shown an ability to allow words to roll off his back.

How I wish others would learn that trait.

I dont believe there are fans mad that we won this game.

I agree. I don't think they want Dallas to lose with Romo. They just want to complain about Romo when Dallas loses.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

You're group is so two-faced. Y'all bash Romo when he's down but when he does good it's "I never said that". Shows a lack of character.

Hey, if i'm two faced, and since i always say its all Romo's fault when we lose, it should be real simple for you to pick up a quick 500 bucks on my offer, no?

..or maybe you just talk out your hind end too much, and can't back up any of the garbage you speak of.

Hmm..

Everyone here knows how you feel about Romo.

Enough of the hate-name calling and personal jabs at each other ...One and only warning .

I have waited to make my comments on this game. Mostly because the way people act when a win has boo-boos.

Analyzing the game for some is the same as hating on coaches, players, Romo, or the team.

So in difference to the people who throw tantrums if you bring up anything about the game but how the refs sucked, Dallas was almost cheated out of the game, Romo saved the day and thus all the weaknesses of the past are moot, or whatever stirs the emotions of those who want only the glass half full, I have decided to wait.

Vegas is giving great odds that waiting won't make any difference and someone will make a heartfelt post that the team won and can we not all just enjoy it.

Even though this board is littered with embarrassing posts about catches or not catches, penalties, and this team gets no respect posts.

So I suppose you'll have to wait on this "haters" point-of-view and my complaints on Romo. :C)

I never put full credit or blame on Romo or any individual. Wins and losses are a collective effort.

Yesterday's game was amazing. We had the build up from all the trash talking and NY did everything they could to try and intimidate us. Our boys shook that off and responded. "The Final Drive" as I call it was defining to our team. When we took the first snap I know just about everyone thought we'd screw it up. From Miles making that big 3rd down catch after that drop, Dez's two clutch 3rd down receptions, Beasley shaking the defender to his behind, Oline holding up the line, and Romo dissecting the secondary. We managed to overcome all odds and pull out a win in NY as a team.


Back to the OP,

Don't take this as me bashing or not crediting Romo. I just feel that we did that as a team. Like all outcomes, I see what we did collectively as a team. I know Romo gets all the glory/bashing, but it comes with that spot. It's an unfair process.

All topics such as this do is fuel the "Romo Haters" as you like to call them, and if come January, things end like they did in Washington, you'll see a "Romo ends the Cowboys Season" thread in which the same arguments that are occurring now will occur then, continuing this vicious cycle of "debate.".

For the record, Romo deserves a lot of credit for what he pulled together yesterday primarily because of how cold and windy it was. Throwing into 25 mph winds is not easy (Ask Peyton). Doing it knowing you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, realizing the possible criticism you will face if you don't come through is even greater.

But now, with this topic, those people are going to remember this and make sure to make a thread in retaliation if Romo throws a 4th quarter INT. So in all, I don't think this topic did anything to help that situation although I don't think that was the motive.

I also believe there are people who do in fact want Romo to fail more than the team to win. But on that same note, there are people who want the team to fail without Romo and would hate to see success with another QB to justify their reasoning of the team needing Romo, which raises the question of are we fans of the Cowboys, or specific players? I've seen alleged Cowboys fans, not necessarily from here, state that if Dez leaves the Cowboys, they would "follow him." I wouldn't be shocked if there were people who felt that way about Romo and/or other players.

Oh come on let's hear your opinion. Most ppl realize some value in an objective opinion, I know I do. I think even though this was a good win, I don't think were that good and we still have a lot of work to do.

 

[mahoneybill]

You just described 85% of the league.

It's a poor league making a ton of money.

Agree.

Look at the 49ers. They appeared to be a dynasty in the making and are struggling this year.

RG 3 and the NFC dynasty turned out to be a one trick pony this season.

Still the fans, you and I included, turn it on every sunday hoping things will change.

In our losses, the defense gave up 17, 30, 51, 31 and 49 points. Let that sink in for a sec.

Make a point and I'll listen, otherwise let what I said set in, kid. Everyone knows this defense went from a 3-4 to a 4-3 and then all the injuries set in. So what's the offense's excuse, Better yet what is this teams excuse for being average for so long. Please give us your opinion, lol.

Our offense has still been one of top offenses in the NFL, and that's even discounting all the turnovers/scoring from defense. The offense has also suffered injuries to Romo, Murray, Austin, and Waters this year, so I guess if we're using excuses I'll use that.

As for the Defense, there's no reason our passing defense should be as bad as it is. You think teams haven't swapped schemes before or had key injuries? Other defenses have had the same problems as us before, but they didn't end up setting passing defense records like we have. So what gives? And let's not act like the defense isn't paid just as much as the offense to do it's job. We have 50 million in salary cap tied up in our defense, yet they've performed pretty crappy for the most part of this year.

However you wasn't to slice it, our performance from defense has been inexcusable.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Romo is playing with the 32nd rated defense in the entire NFL............probably will set the record for worst defense in the history of the NFL at current yardage pace...............he is the only reason we are not 2-9 right now.

I thought I made it quite obvious. In 4 losses, the defense gave up 160 points. What offense is going to overcome that?

 

[03EBZ06]

I think romo is an average QB playing in a stats inflated era. 95 rating today is much different than a 95 rating 15 years ago. Offensives have evolved and the new rules favor them as well.

There is no question that this is a passing era and that QB rating is inflated and that is why I think people should look at performance among their peers rather than just look at QB rating numbers. With that in mind, Romo has been in top 10 among his peers in most of his years, now being in top 10 among his peers is just an average to you then there are many great to very good QBs of past would be average as well.

I agree Romo is a top 10 QB in this league. I would put him in the top 5. As far as the so called "Haters", I'm going to try and ignore them. No use arguing with ignorance and that's exactly what it is. No insult, the haters just don't understand NFL football and I'm not going to change their mind on Romo so why bother.

I agree. With all the games Romo's played to this point, I can't imagine that he's going into that game thinking about all the supposed ramifications in terms of his reputation. And going into that last drive, there's so much going on in the immediate present (what the defense is doing, what plays will work against them, who can I count on, making sure the protection is set, etc) that there just isn't any room in his brain to really be conscious of all the outside noise. He's focused on what's going on right then and there, not "OMG, I'm in another one of these positions, and everyone's watching, and the media's ready to jump all over me."
