Tony Romo's Defenses In His Career

[LittleBoyBlue]

WE could have done something. For once, you're referring to it as a "team" event, and not a "Romo" failure. for once, you're right.

2006 - the Seattle playoff loss is all on Parcells. Seattle started two CBs who started the year on someone's practice squad, and a Safety who had never started an NFL game prior to that one. Yet Parcells refused to attack the weakness on Seattle's defense. The rejuvenated Dallas passing game - which is what had gotten them there - was stymied by its own head coach.

2007 - gotta put this one on Garrett and a defense that allowed the Giants to drive down right before half. Turned out to be a big momentum shift. Garret's role came from running Marion Barber and the OL into the ground in the first half, leaving them gassed by the middle the 3rd quarter. Dallas' offense became one-dimensional, and therefore much easier for the Giants to defend. Oh, and before you jump up in the air and shout "how about Romo's INT?", I'll just say "give me a break". There were 9 seconds left in the game, and the Giants had 7 defenders drop into then end zone. It was basically a "Hail Mary" play - not the highest percentage play.

2008 - sure Dallas ended up 9-7, but Romo missed four games with the broken pinkie. Dallas went 1-3 in those games, meaning they were 8-4 with Romo as a starter. With a healthy Romo, Dallas isnt 9-6 going into that final game, and has the division in hand. You can't blame him solely for the Eagles loss, either. 44-6 can't be pinned on a single player.

2009 - the playoff loss goes directly to an offensive line that forgot to show up. Romo actually had a decent statistical day, but was sacked six times.

The last three seasons were more of the shame overall story. In '12 & 13, Dallas had no business winning 8 games, but did so largely because of Romo. He's made his share of mistakes - like every QB in the league, but his positive play had more than made up for it.

You and your opinion don't make you or me right. They are opinions of the events.

I only "see" blame on anything and everything else. I understand.

But you can lay most of it on Romo, right?

Yes.

Tony Romo... an undrafted kid... a true grit gunslinger who's made plenty of mistakes on the gridiron...
he's also made many great plays.. often in the same game... he will drive you up a wall... I seriously
considered buying a shirt that simply says "Romo Makes Me Drink".

However, I'm a Romo fan... what a story he is... regular guy becomes Dallas Cowboys QB.

Suddenly, he has an Oline full of Pro Bowl talent and a running game that takes the pressure off...
and what does he do? He leads the league in QB rating... and should've been the NFL MVP...
We should be backing our QB... not bashing him...

I agree 100%

Not bashing him though.

trust me, you'll miss him when he's gone.

I am not so sure.
Yes, it will be lean years again but so far .... We have a few good regular seasons. That's all.... Oh and statistics.

Sometimes you gotta hit reset button. Deal with a few blue screens and missing dll's before it gets better again.

Yep, and just dial 1-800-Quarterback, I guess... and 1-800-RunningBack.

I don't think he sucks. You will never, have never seen me post with that view.

You just post with great humor,

I never once said Romo sucks. I said he has cost us at the most inopportune times. He NOT the defense.

Yeah, I was exaggerating on the sucks part

Overall, I think you're WAY off base regarding Romo. But you have a right to an opinion.

"There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy...
There's only you and me (and millions of cowboy fans)and we just disagree"
