Romo would've won it

Yes, but you're a delusional homer, so you have so much bs in your eyes you wouldn't know the truth when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys if your life depended on it.

Playing on the road? That's all you've got? Surely you've got better than that - perhaps some of Adam's meaningless stats - to prop up what would have been another Romo failure. But when it comes to Romo in the final game, we don't have to speak hypothetically. We can just look at what he's done annually when put in this position.

you said Romo has had this opportunity year after year.

a must win home game is the opportunity we had tonight. you lied about that, Romo hasn't had very many of those. when he has, he took advantage

your agenda was called out, and your personal attack is as well.

I think Romo was dying having to watch this game.

Defense was the story.

I honestly don't think the outcome would be much different. I feel like Kyle kept the game extremely competitive and not many people thought we had a chance against the Eagles. The defense certainly played well too. At the end of the day we are noting more than mediocre. From the owner on down.

Really.. go look at what Romo did in his last 2 win or go home games.

Which means what? Every time Romo plays in that type of game he is going to lose?

Do you know how many playoff games Peyton Manning lost before he won a SB?

If they lost they were eliminated. I would call it a win or go home game.

At the time the game was played it was not an elimination game. It became an elimination game after the Eagles beat the Bears later that night.

But 2 TD on 12 possessions isn't what this team has been about this year at all. I still feel like if Orton had more time with the offense, especially Dez, who he really didn't practice with at all, then we finish off at least one of those drives that ended up as a FG.

The Cowboys had to win the game or face possible elimination. Romo saved the season last week end of discussion.

This game is meaningless when it comes to his legacy because he didn't play.

Orton played a good game considering the circumstances but I'll take Romo all day every day.

Very possible... I think he played well enough for us to win though. I put a lot of blame on the play calling in this game. I'm very proud of all of the Cowboys players tonight. They all played with a ton of heart out there.

I don't know why Romo lovers are complaining, cause all you have to go on that Romo is a good player are his numbers. Orton put up good numbers. Kitna put up good numbers when Romo went down the last time. So what makes Romo special if other QBs put up similar numbers? Winning. Something no QB on the Cowboys roster has been able to do since Aikman.

Key word there being "possible". Not trying to be a jerk but it just wasn't an elimination game. Going into this game I would have much rathered Romo, after the game went on.. I preferred Orton. I thought he looked great out there for most of the game. He did some really good things like getting the ball out quick, making his reads quick, getting the defense to jump offsides, ran for a first down, threw for 358 yards and 2 td's. Unfortunately, he choked at the end though. Same thing we got from Romo last year, except Romo was worse in that elimination game.

See, but Romo did not know that at the time. The Eagles had not played yet.

Please please...join Quincy Carter's twitter account. You'll make him feel like million bucks - and I bet he would appreciate your sentiments.
