Tony Romo Broke His Own Team Record Today

[Hostile]

He previously held the record for the most pass completions in one game with 35 in 2007 against the Lions. Today he connected on 41.

He was 2 short of Aikman's team record for attempts with 55. Aikman had 57 vs. the Vikings in 1998.

Tony was absolutely great today. Sadly it was all for nothing.

Yeah, I agree.

 

[theogt]

Not all for nothing. If he can keep up this level of play, we have a real shot at getting deep into the playoffs this year.

 

[CATCH17]

Ive seen some media people do their best to put todays loss on him as well.

All this crap makes me sick. Why do they always beat themselves? Its so frustrating.

 

[Royal Laegotti]

Nice consolation prize.

Good point. And I thought New York played the kind of defense today that typically causes Tony to unravel. They got pressure, the OL didn't play particularly well and the running game was non-existent.

 

[Cochese]

Tony is legend, but I thought that fact was allready established.


I dont know how much longer I can tolerate these coaches pissing away the best QB we have had since Troy retired.

I want him to continue to play like this cause I'm a huge fan and it gives us a great shot of winning games, for sure, but if his defense and special teams continue to do their typical December swoons then it's only going to allow Tony to have really nice numbers while the team still loses and the media continues to shoulder Romo with the blame for everything.

Unfortunately it rings a little hollow.

But we're lucky we have Romo, no doubt.

Yes. He is our best hope.

I hope theo but today just looked like more evidence of this team finding ways to lose.

Agree with every one of these statements.

And IF this defense can play like they did against Oakland we can go deep.

It's all if's and potential. Potential means you havent done ****.

This team never puts it all together though. They haven't done it against a quality opponent all year, and honestly probably havent done it since the Green Bay game in 2007.

I do feel bad for Romo. He played outstanding today, simply outstanding besides one missed throw, and his defense, special teams, and RB's play like garbage.

No, Tony is better than Troy - I would even say that he is far better than Aikman was.

Romo is better than Aikman at the following:

quicker release
goes through read progressions quicker
pocket presence
scrambling
throwing on the run
deep pass accuracy
scoring drives with the game on the line
Red zone passing

Troy was better at:

timing routes
intermediate passing accuracy
stonger arm


Romo will own all the Cowboys passing records before it is all said and done. Whether he wins championship depends on whether JJ can bring in a solid football man to run the operation like he did when Jimmy Johnson was here. He almost did the same thing with Parcells and managed to bring in enough talent. All that was needed was a bit of time for Romo to mature and a true 3-4 coordinator to come in and pick up where Parcells/Zimmer had left off.

I think you are undervaluing how great Troy was. Hes a HOFer, a Super Bowl mvp, the best qb of the 90's.

I don't necessarily disagree, but Troy was a pretty average QB in the mid-late 90's when the talent started to evaporate around him.

Some of that may have been the concussions, but I'll say again if you put this Romo on those early 90's team we would all be speaking in reverent tones of Tony too.

I'm a huge Tony Romo supporter and I have faith that he has the talent to lead this team to great things, but I need some of what you're drinking or smoking.

I dont know, it just seems like its marginalizing what Troy did for this organization.

But, I love Troy, I even like his commentary, so what do I know.
