Why? Because the media likes a story. They'll create one, even if all the pieces don't fit. The problem is, they reinforce into the minds of the public what they want them to believe. On a more global scale, this technique is more commonly known as propaganda. Most people don't have time to analyze all of the facts, and call into question this perception. Romo has "won" a lot of "big" games. But somehow, people tend to only remember those he loses and then assume he can't win them, as if he's solely responsible for the inability of the defense to stop a team, or whatever else isn't directly related to him. An image, that for some unknown reason, is inculcated in the minds of people, due to the fumbled snap in Seattle, as if that had anything to do with QB play. Maybe people should think about what the media says and assess them more critically, because if they don't, the media will keep pounding it into you until you believe it, whatever agenda it is that they have.

I think he has won some big games (made major contribution to those), I also think he has lost more big games (made a contribution through poor play or mediocre play).

I don't base my views on what the media says.

What the hell? Garrett doesn't make me physically ill. That's ridiculous. What a silly thing to say.

He must, because you can't hide your disdain for him. Heck, even when we are moving the ball like crazy and putting up 30 point games you can't give him an ounce of credit. Call it what you want, but I say you, for right now anyway, are only capable of one view of the guy. And honestly, right now I guess I'm so turned off to Wade Phillips that I really don't think he is the answer at head coach. That is all that I meant by the comparison.

Many people forget that this team is a really good team. Yeah, the last game wasn't great, but remember, the Giants got a few good breaks in that game. Dallas pretty much dominated, but those turnovers and lucky bounces that favored NY led to our loss.

The optimist I am feels this team has a lot to prove, and will really begin to gel within the next couple of games.

I don't think Romo looked annoyed. He did look determined and level headed. As a Cowboys fan you have to like that.
it's definitely a different tone for him than I'm used to hearing or expected... I like it.

JJohnson "simpler game plans" for "big games....hmmmmm

heck......just last Dec. the Ravens were matter of factly saying how simple our offense was.....

so the solution is to get it down to "fit on the wrist band"?;)

I think the Ravens were jabbing about how predictable the offense was.

Simple doesn't have to be predictable.

I dunno, "simpler game plan" sounds a little like

"what the hell were you doing passing the ball when you almost averaged a new set of downs every time you called a run"?

Putting my frustrations On romo aside...I can HOneslty say that Romo is a good player. And I think He's really trying to correct some of those issues He has. Not one game will define a player and the season is still long.

When did we cut Andre Gurode, Martellus Bennett, and Jason Witten?!?!?

3 out of 53? Big Ben and Ray Lewis aren't impressed.
And what evidence do you have to believe that ANY of Romo's teammates don't have his back?

I'm just saying, the Cowboys dont strike me as the "run through a brick wall" type of team attitude towards the quarterback. Thats just my opinion.

True, but you forgot to mention the 24pts that was given away by the offense. It's hard to win with 4 Turnovers.

Your right Romo has rebounded after a huge/horrible loss. Tony has rebounded the Playoff loss to the Giants by beating the Browns the next season and came back from the 44-6 loss by Beating the Bucs this season.
(sarcasm off) To win in the playoffs you have to be consistant, cause there's no second chances after a playoff loss.

The one thing that "TRUELY" ticks me off about Romo, is that he talks about "taking care of the ball", "getting in sync with the WR's", "improving". Wasn't this the talk all offseason? Please correct me if i'm wrong.


It started looking good (kind-of) after week 1. Then, week 2 he reverts to the same ol' Romo. It's hard for me to trust this guy til' he consistantly proves it on the field, cause right now his words runs hollow.


True but a great defensive stand on the last play would of sealed this game.....but well you saw the game.

I believe if Jimmy were here he would change the run/pass mix in big games to take the pressure off of Romo. My guess is that once Romo wins a playoff game or two that you could dial it back up. He just seems to get too nervous in these games and doesn't throw well, rushes his pases, etc.

Anti-Romo Faction: "Enough talk! Show me! Romo's a loser until he proves otherwise!"

Non Anti-Romo Faction: "It's great to hear Tony's level-headed response. I think he'll get better and have more good days than bad. He's a hard-worker and certainly has the talent. He just needs to put it all together and not make unforced errors."

Rephrase those comments about a hundred ways...aaaaaaaaaannd thread! <said like "and scene">
