Romo's 300yd game

[dfense]

Doesn't that tie Aikman's Career total with the Cowboys?

I don't know, but it sure was under the radar. They talked about McNabb like he was the second coming or something. Romo threw for more yards and more TDs and his team won. You can say Romo made mistakes, but you can say the same about Chunky. Romo is still learning and improving, but he never ceases to amaze me.

He just makes play after play after play after play. He puts bad plays behind him and makes big ones.

I am not so much concerned with Romo's yardage total as I am with Witten's. This guy is COMING for the Tight End yardage record this year. He was sniffing it last year as well. No one can stop him right now.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Witten is off to a brilliant start. I love the way that guy plays.

Another 100+ QB rating game under his belt too.

The funny thing is that many complained about Romo's play tonight after throwing for 3 TD's, 323 yds and rating of 123.2. yes he made two bad plays (INT and fumble in EZ) and missed marion under duress but it was Romo's play that won the game considering how bad our running game was for the first three quarters.

Also of note: In 28 starts he has had 12 300yd games, 18 games with a rating of +100 and 19 multiple TD games including 6 with three or more TD's. That has to be one of the best performances in a QB's first 28 starts - period. How anyone cannot say he is one of the top 3 QB's in league is beyond me. not to mention top 5 players in the league is beyond me (cough-peter king rated him 19th best in the league 5th best QB).

312 yds on 21/30 with 3 TDs and 1 INT. I'll take that risk/reward ratio any given Sunday, Monday, or Thursday (with a Saturday playoff game in there for spice).

I mean, Romo gets the same respect from me I had for #12, #8 and #11. And, when it's all said and done after a HoF career, I think we might be witnessing the beginning of the career of the greatest QB in COWBOYS history. Even on this side of 0 for playoffs.

If Romo leads Dallas to 3 or more Championship victories, even Troy has said the future belongs to Romo. He makes you hold your breath when he makes plays, but he inspires confidence in his ability to make any play, regardless of down and distance. He's the most fun I've had watching an NFL player since Emmitt. He's equal parts #12 + #4 (recently of NYJ) + #8 and I'll even add a dash of #17 without the golden throat. Romo can't sing, and thank god for that. He can play football which is all I require in a QB wearing that particular helmet professionally.

Nice game by Romo but he needs to get rid of the stupid plays, that fumble was awful and the INT was really dumb.

You have to take the good with the bad with him.

Tell him not to improvise and you end up with Bledsoe but with more charm.

Indeed. Until his mistakes start consistently losing us games (or even losing a single game for that matter) there's no reason to harp on him. He deserves nothing but praise.

 

[Doomsday]

Dallas is undefeated when he throws for over 300 yards in a game. Nice to see him bounce back after a rough couple of series.

Romo's great, but there's no excuse for not just falling on the ball in the endzone. This isnt like the St Louis game. You already know the D is gonna come after you cause you're at you're own goal and instead of falling on the ball and giving up 2, you give up 7.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

True but the way the Eagles were moving on us, giving up 2 and then the ball to them, might have given them 9.
