The one interception that lost the game.

You see, your response was exactly what others were saying that day. You cannot give him credit for coming back, then losing the game by his hand and saying he did something great.

You ignore his losing the game with a decision he made, then tell me the fact I point this decision and loss out disqualifies me to comment. Your stats are meaningless in a THREAD STARTED BY YOU, about Romo coming back in games if HE THREW THE LOSING INTERCEPTION.

The term Captain Comeback which you inserted in the title and branded Romo, was placed on Roger Staubach because he brought the teams back AND WON THE GAME.

By your standard a QB can be down by seven in the first quarter, drive for a field goal, then get the ball again and drive for a TD, and then his team loses by 24 because this QB BROUGHT THE TEAM BACK FROM BEHIND.

That is an absurd use of the term created by journalists or announcers when meaning coming back for the win, and you using it to merely suggest he came back and tied or went ahead for a brief time in a game the team lost.

My opinion, if this board were to decide on what disqualifies who in this discussion, the majority would tell you the same as I am telling you. You're bending the meaning to fit your weak narrative.
Dude please don't do that I get what you're saying except for one thing if we're talking about the Romo versus manning Denver versus Dallas game you do realize that he got hit by a lineman on his follow through Lyman got pushed right into him as he was releasing the ball that's why it got intercepted this is what happens with Prescott I mean you guys will blame the interception on it cause it left his hand no the lineman got pushed into him where he couldn't follow through he got bumped some of you just basically purposefully just forget these things or leave them out so you can make your point that interception was not on him go go go watch it raisy was trying to follow through his lineman got pushed right into him. This is the very reason we have the DAC interceptions broke down thread there were seven or eight of them that were not a bad throw they literally were caused by other factors. Much like the Jaguars game that first interception everyone like was quick to say how bad an overthrow it was but then they didn't realize that he got his jersey grab from behind as he was throwing that football they purposely leave it out isn't that weird how most of the fans who we call haters for certain players just have selective memory and then in the same game literally hit Noah brown in the hands and then it goes through his hands and his body gets intercepted everyone's like yeah look two interceptions in the Jaguars game is why we lost really because I remember us being up by 17 points in the fourth quarter those interceptions in that game not one of them was his fault.

Denver had the same problem with their defense. Never hear anyone talk about that. Right before he threw that interception I said Romo's going to do something stupid and he did. He threw that interception within 2 minutes after I said it. I knew he was never going to beat Manning in a shootout. Great game though.
Really you you might have a really bad memory a selective memory or a hater memory I can't figure out which he literally got hit on the follow through go watch it maybe TRO can find the play in slow motion right as Romo was letting that ball go his lineman got into his body and he couldn't follow through so you're blaming the quarterback for getting ran into on a follow through sure you are I bet you don't see any of those Prescott interceptions that he got his jerseys grabbed his arm hit his hand broke balls tipped at the line balls ricocheting off hands those are just all on the quarterback because he's the quarterback right? :facepalm: :popcorn:

Looks like we were going to have to put the Tony Romo sub forum back up

So many threads concerning this guy are popping up every day

I wish Dakota could get to 4-4 in the playoffs so Tony wouldn’t keep living in some of these guys heads
It’s ridiculous.

It really is.

Romo this.

Dak that.

Yawn.

So glad I got to see championship winning Dallas Cowboy quarterbacks.

Roger Troy Danny Dak > Tony
you're entitled to your opinion inasmuch as I really loved Troy Aikman I'm may still put Roger stall back first but you know what I'm gonna do something just to annoy the haters

Roger, Tony, Troy, Dak, Danny.. This is my take I think he put Tony Romo on any of those teams that Roger and Troy had they'd still win those games and it really goes the same for Prescott really I mean since when did any of those guys you think are the top two ever have to go into the playoffs and carry their teams I watched those games that Troy played and in many of those games he was simply a bus driver he literally dinked and dunked the ball most plays and just relied on that awesome offensive line Emmitt Smith Hall of Fame coaching great defense many games he had under 200 yards maybe one touchdown yes he had better games he had some impressive games but for the most part if you hit they never asked Roger or Troy to play one handed one-dimensional football they always had the run game the the great game plans execution by the team the seemed to do it when it needed to be done most and if you really wanna put a knock on Roger why didn't he win more Super Bowls like I didn't watch every one of his games I'm too young for that I'm 53 and I'm from New York New Jersey area so we didn't watch a lot of cowboy football I started being a cowboy fan in 1980 when we moved to Texas and I watched that first Danny white game what was it the 1981 NFC championship game with the catch that's literally my first game I might have remembered watching the whole thing and remembering just I don't know I became a fan even though they lost...

But again it's a team game and I believe that Tony Romo and Prescott are good enough that if they had the same exact scenarios you just switch pouit the qbs, its very p[ossble nothing changes all of them were very good.. the difference was the Teams and the coaching staffs were simply better for Roger and Troy. I'm not saying they don't deserve the credit they're getting but growing up watching every single game Troy played watching those playoff games with all that talent he didn't have to do a lot I mean look at that second Super Bowl against Buffalo I watched that again the whole entire thing last week when they showed it hey literally was thinking and dunking the ball they were down at halftime by a score they come out in the second-half and the defense immediately gets them a touchdown and then they come out and he dinkin, dunks his way down the field and Emmitt Smith carries it like 10 times and they score again he did nothing special to get that game back ahead. And don't say he made less mistakes and he was smarter because he had only 165 touchdowns and 141 interceptions that's pretty average touchdown interception ratio that's not very good given the team that he was on keep that context look at what he played with and who he played for and if you look at it in that context that's kinda very average.

his lineman got pushed into him is because he had a terrible habit of holding onto the ball too long like he did the play before when he could have hit Beasley on a short crosser but chose to hold the ball and try to scramble out of the pocket leaving him second and 16 .

Now for the next bad decision instead of hitting Murray quickly out of the backfield who was wide open with tons of real estate in front of him he had to get greedy and go for the longer pass.

Tony Romo was a gambler and a lot of people like that style of play but it leads to disappointment like we experienced quite a few times.

There careers seem to be running pretty parallel to each. I cant give you a "star defining" game for either that actually mattered. Ive forgetten Romo's best games. The only reason I remember Dak's is because they are recent
That...is a fair assessment. I don't think romo lovers nor romo haters recall correctly.

I don't hate Romo and I can't watch that because YouTube won't let me but I replayed the Denver game quite a few times
.

No hate for Romo just not about to prop a guy up and ignore all his flaws while putting him on the level of the greatest player to ever wear the cowboys uniform just not going to happen.

Not for nothing but have we lowered the bar of complete success story.
I mean don't you have to win a super bowl to be a complete success.

No doubt Tony was successful . But don't you have to actually win a super bowl and complete the process to be a complete success.

Just my thoughts I could be completely wrong.

Undrafted...small college. Became one of the best QB's of his time among REALLY GREAT NFL Quarterbacks.

This is NOT a "lower bar":...okay? Romo hater. You can kid yourself but not me.

Hey maybe I am a hater I'm not willing to give Romo Roger staubach's moniker of Captain comeback I don't think he deserves it or anything close.

Romo was better than average at controlling his own damage I will give him that. But many times he couldn't even do that.

Great stats T-RO. It’s odd to me that a Tony Romo praise thread is seen as Dak hate in a reactive manner from the usual suspects, but not all that unusual when it comes to the human psyche.

Why won't YouTube let you watch it? I know it says "Video Unavailable", but if you click the link right below, where it says "Watch on YouTube", it should bring you to the video.

4th Quarter Comeback #11 of 21

sept-18-2011-san-francisco-ca-usa-san-francisco-49ers-vs-dallas-cowboys-DKAK89.jpg


September 19, 2011
Cowboys at 49ers, and their #2 defense
Romo suffered both a fractured rib and a punctured lung against the 49ers
Dallas 27, San Fran 24

Knocked out for part of the game, Romo still delivered this:
20-33, 345 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT

Comebacks!
Cowboy Backup Jon Kitna's 2 interceptions put Dallas in a hole, but Tony returned to lead 3 late scoring drives--the last in overtime.
