Get a load of these quotes....from Bob McGuinn of Milwaukee Sentinel-Post

"Romo’s body was twisted by Micah Hyde on a slot blitz. Already playing with a bad back, Romo limped the rest of the way and fell apart"

"Not only was Romo even more immobile than normal, it’s almost as if he was shellshocked"

"Scott Linehan wisely built his day around Murray until late in third quarter. That’s when he failed to realize Romo was dead in the water and called one too many passes"

The article was posted in the DMN, basically saying Packers would have won regardless of the over turned call. Rodgers would have led them down the field etc...While that may be true, this dude takes some shots on Romo, ouch!!! WHY????

Romo played well, threw a great pass that was CAUGHT!!! Romo never gets a break. Amazing this is what GB fans have to read regarding their team, this clown beat reporter.....then again that's why the guy is writing in Milwaukee???? Too funny!!!!

I don't get that one.

We scored 21 points on the road. Would have score at least 26 points if the catch was called correctly. And this was in cold weather, on crappy turf without our starting RT and our star RB still playing with a bad hand.

He also had over a 140 QB Rating.

The fanboy mentality in NFL writers never ceases to amaze me.

I agree with some of that. We were more run oriented than we were passing but that wasn't because of Romo that was because of the conditions and because we have a solid run game. Romo was limping around out there just like Aaron Rodgers was.

Only thing I don't understand or agree with is that Romo was dead in the water? What does that even mean lol

"Dead in the Water" is a nautical term meaning "no power and not moving". For example, if a ship loses power and is just bobbing up and down in the water, it is "dead in the water".

Packers will get Blandinoed next week. Russell Wilson is the face of the NFL. They will take care of him.

Over 150 with the correct call on the catch.

The guy literally throws 4 incompletions in the entire game.

One incompletion in the second half which was the throw to Dez.

And he's being ripped. How the hell?

It's automatic reflex. A reflex is something you do without thinking. That about sums up any criticism that Romo had something to do with this loss or that he choked at a big moment.
I'm just not going to waste my time on it. And this is from one (me) who has criticized Romo in times past.

Stafford is excused for a PI call on a bad throw and fumbling twice at the end. Plus never winning one big game his whole career. He gets to be studio analyst. Romo gets crud like this.

No wonder his family feels awful today. If I were his dad i'd drive from Burlington to Milwaukee and punch this guy in the face

In both playoff games, I felt that the pressure Romo was under was most directly related to lack of preparation. On very few plays did linemen miss or poorly execute a block. Instead, what I saw a lot of were well disguised blitzes that Garrett/Romo/Linehan/Callahan etc. just weren't ready for.

In a sense, that bodes for more credit to be given to Romo, because in my eyes, that was about as uncomfortable as I had seen him in the pocket this season (granted its justifiable going up against Suh, Fairley, Asnah, Matthews and Peppers) and he still managed to play well both games.
