Romo's final 5 games last season

[Boyzmamacita]

idk, his ypa was high as well

I just can't think of too many examples where Romo dumped the ball to his checkdown receivers

Romo is extremely good at distributing the ball to several different receivers. Some of them would have to be his checkdown receivers.

You know PF when you came over here to give your insight on the Bledsoe situation-- I knew it was spot on.

But your spin on Romo is just so over the edge...

I know it sounds weird and I knew I would get some flack.

What the heck it is off-season. Not much football to talk about. But I am completely serious, it was the first thing that went through my mind when I saw the play -- and after watching a few of his other games. I mentioned it to a few non-Cowboy fans and a few agreed, so I guess I'm not completely nuts.

And no, I do not think it was conscious, rather sub-conscious. And if I may be so bold, I think if he is going to make the next step he needs to get some of that under control. Thinking rather than just doing. Control.

No offense intended. He is still 10x better than Bledsoe and has the potential to make it -- if he starts thinking more in terms of team play and control.

You know who else had this problem -- Peyton Manning. This was the first year he let the team win the game. And it worked. Well, I guess I have said enough for one night. As far as this year I think only the Saints and Boys will be in it for the NFC title. Forget Chicago, Grossman will never "get it" because he hasn't "got it" to begin with. Simply awful.

Lions= Romo put up 38 points, what else can you ask from a QB. Ditto the Falcons game.

As much as the defense is maligned for the Detroit game, Romo didn't have a great game. Statistically, he did. But his fumbles and miscues cost us dearly. Atlanta was one of his better performances that weren't just completely gaudy.

Playoffs

Seahawks= I dont know if you guys felt the same but Romo was told not to take any chances and I defintly could tell by his play. He just played with a dont lose the game mentailty instead of the go win mentatilty. That was all on Parcells. Im not ripping Parcells either, he was a good coach in my opinion.

How did you arrive at the idea he was "told" not to take chances?

Personally, I saw a very nervous young QB in his first playoff game who played tight.

That's what I saw. He played well enough to get the team in position to win.

I will admit our gameplan for that contest was utterly dreadful.

Well it may because the hype machine for Romo edged out Brady last year. New kid on the block and all.

Other than that I can't imagine why someone would think Romo would deliberately drop the ball. That's just the dumbest thinking I've seen on this board...at least in the last 5 mins.

Although I will agree to an extent with Superpunk about Romo not playing that well in the Seattle game. He started off slow per usual. Once he settled down, I think he was fine. As for the game plan against Seattle, I don't have a problem with it so much, since considering this was Romo's first playoff game, and you never know how the D was going to perform. To me, it was focused even moreso on TOP.

To me, the O got hosed b/c Rivera herniated a disk in his back and tried to play through it -- with an uncrippled RG we could have had another 50 yards running.

We just were not quite aggressive enough in that game. There is no reason why we should not have tested their secondary deep. It was almost as if we overthought the situation and tried to be too deceptive.

Raining, road, playoffs, rookie QB, Parcells coaching.

What part of this surprises you?

Not so fast there chief.

...

if he starts thinking more in terms of team play and control.

Soooooo, first Romo did it on purpose. Wanting to win the game and be the hero. Then he didn't so much do it on purpose as it was just in the back of his mind and he got distracted. Then it wasn't so much a conscious decision as it was a sub-conscious one.

And still your suggestion to Romo is that he get some of his sub-conscious under control... is that even possible?? Man you are some kind of delusional.

Honestly, in the first half or so, Rivera was having a helluva game.

I think if we wait long enough he'll come back on here and claim that Romo had money riding on the Seahawks and had to "fumble" to cover his bookie....

Here's one reason Romo is going to be successful, forever.

70% completion pct on third down and 6+. 70 freaking percent, Pats fan. You golden boy, Tom Brady, has never done that. He's come close - and it's no shame, because few QBs are capable of doing what Tony Romo does. In truth, that down and distance is often their worst, as it has been for Tom Brady over the past 4 years (he hasn't been over 60% since 2002). But not Tony Romo. He rises up when the pressure's on.

Last year a graphic was shown wherein of QB-WR tandems in the league, Romo to Crayton was the highest rated on third down. Why would that be? I mean, TO and Glenn are the ones making QBs look good, right? Or, might it be because your TO and Glenn notion is a load of horse ****? I pick choice number 2. And why, you say? It's simple, but given your posts in this topic (basically incomprehensible - lay off the hard liquor - try weed or something) I gather you can't understand it.

Or did you forget that we started the year with another QB?

Yes. TO and Glenn, who allegedly could make any one of us look pretty good at QB, helped Bledsoe all the way to one of the worst QB ratings in the entire NFL.

Were they out to get Bledsoe?

Were they shanghai-ing him just so they could get the moxie kid on the field?

While I'm almost positive this is what you probably believe (insane), it doesn't make any sense to the rest of the world. It's time to face facts. Tony Romo is a fantastic QB. Bill Parcells and Sean Payton had the foresight and determination to bring him along correctly, and now the rest of the league will suffer. You of all people should realize that your notion is asinine. After all, you likely had to deal with people telling you for years that Brady wasn't that good, he's a system QB, he's just benefitting from playing under Weiss and Bellichick. Of course, you know now how foolish those people look, as Tom Brady continues to be excellent. And I'm sure you chuckle to yourself as you rock back and forth thinking about how wrong they were.

Guess who looks a fool now?

And this children, is exactly why when that crack dealer tells you to try his candy one more time and then go play a game called "close your eyes and suck milk from a hose" you shouldn't.

Guess I have to respond. First off, I did not say Romo is a bad QB. In fact, I said he was 10x better than Bledsoe. So on that we can agree. I do think he has "hot shot" issues and needs to play more on a team basis and think rather than do. I will stand by that. Because of that, I am not sure after one year he is your guy. I cannot say yes, I cannot say no. I really think the jury is still out. This year will answer the question.

Simple thoughts on Bledsoe and Brady. To me, Bledsoe was always a bum. He couldn't read a defense if his life depended on it. Pure thrower, not a thinker. Brady, well obviously you are right people do say that stuff about him, but yes it is all baloney. But with some receivers behind him now, we will really get a chance to see what he can do. I think it is going to be interesting to watch.

And yes in retrospect I probably should not have posted what I wrote, but you are right, I do think it. I went back and looked at the play again on You Tube, and thought the same thing. Best case senario is a total lack of concentration at the most important point in the game.

But that being said, I think this message board is one of the best in the league and I do not want to make any enemies. Intelligent posters, very little nonsense, good board. So I apologize, and yes, I did have a vodka before I posted. Creates loose lips. Darn stuff.

Well, in a few months we can watch instead of talk. Off.

Really? 10 full games as starter didn't convince you?

/sarcasm


Your post is getting ridiculed because you stated Romo dropped the ball on purpose. That's about as ******** thinking as you can get.

Lack of concentration? Maybe. Maybe the ball just slipped out.

But the whole "let me win the game on my own, so I will botch the hold" arguement is pretty weak.

Especially considering he looked pretty surprised by it. But hey, I guess that's just good acting on his part, right?
