The Microwave Generation always comes to such conclusions.

Guys are chokers if they don't win their first, second, third, playoff games, don't win the Super Bowl or they squander home-field advantage.

So that makes ... Peyton Manning a choker, Eli Maning a choker, Steve Young a choker, John Elway a choker, Brett Favre a choker, Jim Kelly a choker, Fran Tarkenton a choker, etc.

Romo is in his SECOND YEAR and not even a full two-year starter at that.

He's young. But you guys expect him to have all the savvy of a Tom Brady or Joe Montana and, last time I checked, those guys don't come around too often.

Romo played like an inexperienced quarterback. You can't manufacture playoff experience. It's a whole nother level of football.

Romo now has two games under his belt. He'll grow and learn from his mistakes.

It would be different if he were a 10 year veteran trying to win for the first time.

Guys, he's the reason this team is even in the playoffs. Surely you don't think Bledsoe would have taken this team to the playoffs do you? :eek:

Yes, we're disappointed. But Romo is young and this team is the fourth youngest team in the league. Pretty darn good to go 13-3 with an inexperienced roster such as ours, and considering a young staff.

There are more positives than negatives to take away from this season.

I was watching the game. Romo played "well" for most of the game, but a lot of those 3rd downs came courtesy of Barber. Im with you on how atrocious the O-line was, but Romo's decision making on the last two drives wasnt that much better. His immaturity with trying so hard to make the big play on those two sacks really hurt the team.

Barber was huge in the first half but so were some timely completions in 3rd down. The dropped by WRs were CRITICAL.

The ONE play that really turned things around was the Crayton drop for a 1st down and he could have run for another 25 yds to get us to midfield. But instead we putting and allow McQuarters to return it to our 30 yds line.

He's certainly partly to blame for those sacks. However, when you are getting little support from your teammates, you start to want to make plays and that's when trouble hits.
