Yes, you are Hos.
Because deep inside no matter what, Romo has to get over that hump. He is carrying that monkey on his back. And you can label fans as you see fit, but you can't convince me you don't believe he has emotions and his nerves are rusty razor blades when it means the most.
Just like all the players.
Think back to Aikman. The 1991 season where he got hurt and missed so much time that Beurlein filled in. They tossed Troy out against the Lions and he lost his first play-off game.
Not his fault, but surely you have to understand he took something away from that game and it wasn't budding confidence.
Not until next year when he saddled up the passing game and took them to the championship.
To brush away what the player must be thinking and feeling, perhaps questioning himself and if the press is right ignores we all have butterflies and feel responsible when things are out of our control.
He has moxie but he also has shown the face of being beaten down when games are at a premium and he didn't deliver.
I answered your little bit of Hostile and said some things I will not repeat here.
But I find your dismissal of Romo's emotions in this as kind of scuttling your point.
This isn't about fans that follow a herd. This isn't about fans who don't want him to be brilliant.
But this is about confidence. And when you see and hear fans here that express the team would gained much needed confidence by beating the Eagles, how can Romo be any different.
He can't. And while this is a stepping stone to his answering all the critics, it is not the final chapter in his growing up and being a championship caliber player.
He took a big step last night. But he could have lost that game due to many things and still walk away knowing he played a controlled, patient, and exceptional game taking what he could and protecting the rock.
You cannot explain this by making blanket statements about fans when the players confidence is where this really lies.
Tony put on the big boy pants last night. But there is more work to do.
