He has a Super Bowl ring.

What does Romo have besides 1 playoff win against a team who's QB was on his last legs?

Yeah, he was lucky in that tennis match and was able to easily defend against McNabb's serve and volley.
And McNabb had a hard time defending Romo and his 105 QB rating that game. His legs were just too weak.

lol...you people.:rolleyes:

Why do you feel there isn't there any team support coming?

Because I think the D will be dreadful. Just a gut feeling. You on the other hand, from what I infer, believe the D will be great?

This year, Romo's only chance is the offense.

Questionable support from his GM, OL and defense during his career? It's still a team game.

It might be a team game, yet . . .

The QB is the unquestioned leader.
He be paid commensurate to his importance and his management on the field.
When a team wins the QB is usally acclaimed. When a team loses, it always becomes a team loss.
I guess in your mind the QB is a tiny cog, with minimal influence, not much pressure and just as important or unimportant as the others on the team.

Um . . . so, conversely and convectuanately, how do you know that the defense will be good enough this year. You don't.
I also do not know that gasoline will go below $3 a gallon this year, but I am banking it won't. Too, I do not know that Elvis won't win a posthummus Oscar for his acting, but it is a safe bet he won't.
My logic defies gravity. I think.

You have no logic :)

and it seems in your view the QB goes out and wins game while 52 other player sit and watch. QB is important but he can't do nothing if others are not playing quality ball. QB does not catch the ball, he does not block, he does not play defense or special teams. QB is critical to a team and when an offense is putting up 27 points a game and your QB is putting up a 3 to 1 ratio of TD to int then the problem is not your QB

Belief me, i half heard for most of mein life that a QB cannot block, do not play defense and can't sell luxury suites, blah, blah, blah.
But in the final urinalysis, a QB leads and most importantly do not bobble a ball, thow pix in the last minute and be a gunslinger and would-be hero when all we need is a forward pass to a receiver not incumbered by 2 or three defenders.
On the last points he fail. He might be a leader.But I prefer his leadership qualities on the field during the regular season. And, if the gods look favorably and with grace upon us, also in January and February.

2008 Cardinals went to the SB with a defense who gave up 26 points a game

True.
It's important to note, however, that they gave up that much only once in the last 10 games including the playoffs (not even once in the playoffs, btw).

That's the key to playoff success; playing your best at the end of the season and in the post season.
Of course, that includes defense, offense, and special teams.

What do you means? all you clever mens sometimes I think you mock me.
But I as usual am vindicated by good analysis and wise wisdom. Come over this weekend, we are halfing a picnic with the fire department in Farmers Branch. We need to applause them for protecting our homes.

I visualize Daffy Duck every time I read your posts.

What do you have against Daffy Duck? gimmiesomeballs thinks he's funny, but it gets to the point that he is not even in the same category as a cartoon.

Little recap for those with short memories:

With 2:44 left, the Cowboys' offense had managed only 260 yards and 15 first downs, while producing one touchdown and two field goals. An end-zone fumble recovery by Nick Hayden gave Dallas its other touchdown.

Still, Romo said he believed the Cowboys would win.

Only he knows why, since the Cowboys had dropped at least five passes, the offensive line had yielded three sacks and consistent pressure and Romo's last pass had been intercepted.

"I don't think you ever think you're not going to score," Romo said. "Your thought process is always just what do we need to do to give us the best chance to score.

"The more you can singularly focus on that specific moment and call the play, get the right protection, get the right combination [of players] and then get the ball out -- let the playmakers do what they do -- you give yourself a chance."

Romo completed 7 of-9 passes to five different receivers as the Cowboys made five first downs and never faced a third down. On second-and-goal from the Minnesota 7, he found Harris in the middle of the field.

Harris caught the ball and lunged across the goal line for the go-ahead score.


Last week, Detroit drove 80 yards in six plays without a timeout to beat Dallas. This week, the defense held.

Just so you know, Romo has now led 19 game-winning, fourth-quarter drives.

We went a lot of spread that particular drive in the Minnesota game. We were an absolute dud for along period of time during this game, until we changed our approach on that drive.

Often times, Romo winning a game is simply by keeping plays alive with his feet. I don't know how one can improve on that. This teams needs to approve in their play-calling as to minimize the risks of mistakes.

The substance in your post is overwhelming. But, strangely, as I read it, I thought I heard your avator speaking in that high-pitched inner-city screed. Did you know that a woman voices that character? You are female, correct?
