I'm stunned..not really...that people are this dense about one bad game. As for Romo why not check almost all his games that meant something late in the season or the Giants playoff game when we were 13-3.

18-36 for 201, 1TD, 1 Int Rating of 64.7

Dak played one of the top Ds last week and we only had him throw 18 times and he was 12-18 for 66.7% 1 TD and we WON!

He's had one completely flustered game. I really think people know zero about football if they expected he or Romo to play 16 perfect games. So far this no pattern. See how he responds to TB

He can say all he want about Romo having "bad" december games. The truth is that Romo has never ever looked like Prescott looked last night.

There was not a single time in that second half where I though Prescott would march us down the field. He has played okay (against Washington) and very poorly the last two weeks. If he plays that poorly again, it should absolutely be back to Romo.

This might help your memory. Both incredibly poor Romo days versus divisional opponents in December with MUCH higher stakes.

I've seen Romo look worse. Much much worse. I thought we would absolutely win the game after Dez finally caught a pass. Unfortunately he fumbled. That's not on Dak. Neither was the missed FG or the two int's both on Dez.
If Dez doesn't fumble that ball then these threads never exist.

Again, we saw Russell Wilson throw 5 INT's yesterday. He is an experienced Super Bowl champion.

This is the first game of Dak's career where he threw multiple INT's. Would you like to know how many starting rookie quarterbacks in history didn't throw multiple INT's until their 13th start?

Peyton Manning threw multiple INT's in 10 of his first 13 starts.

why compare it to the playoff game? Why not compare it to Romo's first December game at NY?

comparisons are worth nothing but at least you could compare the same thing.

Wow, by reading this post I'd think Dak played winning football.....
He's worst game as a Pro, fact.

Um, doesn't Romo have like the highest December QB rating in NFL history? How can Romo have bad December games and the highest December QB rating in history? And yes, he has never gone 2 for 26 on 3rd down conversions.

You must be in single digits age wise if you think Romo never played that bad or worse. Buffalo anyone???

Really? That's the only time you can remember?

How about any time in December pre 2009

He was never awful in December and completely off his game like this offense last night.

so pre 09, If you want to say the eagles game in 08 go ahead, I will tell you romo played injured vs philly that day and the team was in shock still from the previous ravens game.

06 losses in December to the saints was because the defense was horrendous, then the loss to the lions romo struggled and turned the ball over but still had a big day.

Never has he just been off this bad where he couldn't hit an 8 yard dig route to witten.

also, he never had interior blockers or a guy like zeke Elliott.

If you think romo stunk in Decembers pre 09? cool. It doesn't matter now anyway.
