You blame Jerry for all that talent? Half a dozen other teams had similar talent AND better coaching! We had Jason Garrett who NEVER out schemed anyone. We consistently got beat in the playoffs by better coached teams.
The defense in that game gave up 2 long drives too! Not a championship Defense.
I think the correct answer is supposed to be that Tony Romo sucked.
Posters like you and others create this. You say you liked and defended Romo, but go back and look at some of your comments.
It's always been my perception that if the running game had been utilized properly in 2010, then Romo wouldn't have been placed in so many vulnerable situations. The Cowboys ran so little that it was statistically favorable to simply pin your ears back and charge Romo. It was only a matter of time.
If saying Romo was a good but not great QB who struggled to up his game in the playoffs is bashing him so be it. If I said the same thing about Dak y’all would call me a homer and a Dak Stan.
You’re living in a selective Romo blaming delusion. QBs like any other player don’t and can’t “compensate” repeatedly for team deficiencies and bad plays elsewhere.
Yet they do. Throwing for 200 yards and 2 touchdowns is why you end up with a 2-4 playoff record.it’s mid.
Or maybe looking at the roster through the bottom of his crystal glass of Johnny Walker Blue......
That is such a vacuous “analysis” devoid of context. Also, it proves nothing in regard to your claim that losses were the result of Romo not “elevating his game”. The mere fact that you put this idiotic criteria on Romo shows how biased your view is. No individual player wills a team to victory. That’s the stuff of movie scripts.
No one said will the team to victory by himself. He was not the only good players on those teams and let’s not pretend he didn’t have help.
Terrible defenses, and outside of 2014 bad OLs.
Maybe the "hall of fame" talent wasn't actual "hall of fame" talent after all.
I don't really know what your point is, but this is dumb. In each of the last three seasons, the SB winner won their divisional round game with a QB doing exactly that.
Those teams are all trash they beat. The point is simple. You need to put your big pants on when the game is on the line. I can’t make it anymore simple then that.
You don't get to add that qualifier.
Your claim is bogus. Your implication is that Romo didn’t elevate his game and that is the reason why the team didn’t win in playoffs. When you control a variable and assert that it is on one person to play well to overcome deficiencies elsewhere you’re effectively saying he didn’t will his team to victory.
