Another pressure situation for Romo.

[thePRO 78]

Let's discuss the newest failure of Mrs. Tony H0mo

 

 

Romo supporters are ridiculous. If you have to hide the QB you might as well play a guy like Weeden and pay him less money. Rex Ryan managed to hide Mark Sanchez to get to two AFC Championship games. Heck he helped win an SB by hiding Trent Dilfer all the way to an SB victory.

 

Romo is like Mark Sanchez except even more inept in the playoffs, but with rabid supporters for some reason.

 

After Rex Ryan gets fired, I hope the Cowboys hire him as their HC so I can watch Rex struggle with Romo at QB.

 

Haha, welcome to my list of idiots on this board.

 

Do you guys really believe what you're saying or just get a kick out of it? Romo will go win a few more games and I'm sure we'll be hearing from you guys once in December, since you guys only come out of the woods twice a year. Enjoy it though. Never mind the fact that he still leads in 4th quarter comebacks, and had to make 2 big plays to win the Texans game and the Seahawks game. Never mind the analysts that still claim about 20 other teams would love to have him as a QB. Never mind the fact that he broke some ribs and came back to whoop San Fran in O.T a few years ago. Oh yea, ignore last year when he F'd up his back, came back and beat the Redskins without a few discs in his back, so I can't blame him for being a competitor and wanting to be back in, but he shouldn't have this time.

 

But I forgot, he's the only QB that loses games in the 4th quarter or can't complete a comeback win. I do agree he should've sat it out though.

 

Congrats guys, smart analysis for some elementary kids!

One more thing, please don't tell me you consider that joke of a QB Foles to be anywhere near a real QB.

Romo is my backup to Peyton. would you dump him?

There is no reason to wastes a roster spot with Peyton on your team. The reason you draft a Manning, Rodgers, or Brees is so you can use the backup QB spot on a skill player.

Lol... if Peyton Manning took the shot that Romo took Monday night he'd be working full time for State Farm right now. The reason you have a backup QB spot is in the event your starter goes down. What's more, many leagues require you to actually use a QB in that backup QB spot.

Agree.

 

Romo has been pretty solid of late, but his 14 point turd on MNF isn't winning anybody their week. You can pluck that kind of production off the ww if need be.

 

Plus Romo is not exactly a paragon of health right now. Dump him and go for upside at a skill position.

[Cruzer 1,995]

I will say this - even if we were at full strength, this game against the Cardinals was going to be iffy anyways. Zona is good - just ask Philly. And they play the run extremely well.

[DaBeerz 88]

My league rules force us to carry backups for all positions.

 

2 QB

4 RB

5 WR/TE

2 K

2 D/ST

You can't manage scared. If you are worried about player injuries, then you will have a bench full of handcuffs.

 

If you took Manning early, you first should expect him to play all year. That also means you are going to be shallow at with studs at another skill position. You need depth to counteract the lack of studs. That back up QB spot will suit you much better with a flyer like one of the rookie WRs that are playing well.

 

If Manning does get injured, then you can still be competitive cycling QBs like Dalton, Flacco, Big Ben, etc. But I wouldn't manage for injuries unless you are locked into a playoff spot.

 

And for those of you with a 2 QB requirement, I don't think this is an option. You have to hold onto players like Romo.

Yes, you will hear from me in December. That's when really important games are played and the times Romo is at his worst. But hey, he's had a ton of comeback wins. I'm very proud of him.

He's awesome

 

Is he in the ring of honor yet? Next to Nate Newton?

and romo put up 345/2 with broken ribs and a tension pneumothorax, which usually results in an urgent EMS ride.

 

led a 4th quarter comeback win in that one.

 

or how about last year, week 16, lose and they're out, leading the entire final drive with a severely herniated disk. what happened then?

 

 

 

want to know how i know you've never had a major back injury?

[Cruzer 1,995]

Omg - Weeden focking blows. There is now way this team can hang on if he has to play for an extended bit of time... That being said, Zona is a damn good football team. Those boys are for real.

[JT 137]

No love for Romo, but the guy should quit while he's ahead. Broken/fractured bones in the back, with a history of back problems, is not a recipe for a full life post-football. He should have all the money he ever needs; if not, it's on him. That's scary sh!t.

Yes, lots of guts for him to come back in with a back injury and cost his team a win. He was terrible. Took sacks and fumbled before blowing it on 4th down. He showed how tough he was for sure. Shame it cost your team a home divisional win and started the free fall.

Especially now that Jerry gave him the $100m extension, $55m which I believe is guaranteed.

Tony Romo has won as many playoff games as Tim Tebow. That is the bottom line.

At least there's some comfort in knowing that 1 playoff win was in fact, against the Eagles.

Another fourth quarter comeback for Romo - and we saw what Dallas is without him - let's put this to rest, Romo is a solid top-10 QB

[DaBeerz 88]

Another fourth quarter comeback for Romo - and we saw what Dallas is without him - let's put this to rest, Romo is a solid top-10 QB

 

He is, for sure. Everyone just likes to make him their whipping boy because his failures are magnified because he plays in Dallas, and he's under a microscope. Hell, even when he plays well and throws 4 or 5 TD's, he gets blamed for the loss because his defense can't stop anyone.

 

Right now, there are so many teams that would love to have Romo as their QB. Including the NY Giants, Eagles and Redskins.

 

He's got a 22 - 6 TD to INT ratio, and he's throwing a 68.8 % completions, which is better than Manning, Rodgers, and Brady. Not saying he's better than those guys, but he's not a sh1t QB that everyone makes him out to be.

[thePRO 78]

Since 2006, Romo now leads the NFL with 4th quarter comebacks at 26.

 

He also has the 4th all time 4th quarter passer rating.

 

All of this = one hell of a QB.

 

There's not many teams that put their QB in a rough position has much as Dallas has since he's been here. I've always said that. That's why he leads the league in comeback victories. That's also why he's lost several also. It seems like he's in this position about 5-8 times a season, it's ridiculous. So when he loses, it's Dallas and it's magnified. When he wins, it's like MEH...big deal. Fact is, is that he's good and we saw what Dallas is without him.

 

Wish he'd win a Super Bowl, but I don't know if it'll ever happen. Defense is too suspect this year, guess there's still a chance so you never know.

 

And Eagles Green, the whole team and coaching staff has struggled in December. Last time Dallas had an Oline this good and a decent defense was 2009, when they won their last 2 regular season games, one of those beating the Eagles with the division on the line. They followed that up with a thumping on the Eagles wildcard weekend.

 

Not gonna bash Philly here, because they're a solid team no doubt. There's weeks where they look like the better team, and there's weeks where Dallas looks like the better team. We find out more Thursday, no guarantee win from me, it's going to be tough.

[Cruzer 1,995]

You won't hear from or see the Eagles Greens of the world until after a Romo loss. When he has big come back wins, 4 tds and a qb rating of 143.4 they stick their heads in the sand and pretend they didn't see the game.

 

If Philly beats Dallas Thursday - Eagles Green will be one of the first to reply in this thread - bank it.

[Giants Fan 85]

Pressure? He had all the time in the world.

 

Giants D should be ashamed of themselves.

 

That's all I have to say.

True story!!

 

[MDC 7,427]

[Serpent 51]

Dallas fans are funny. Romo's teams are generally loaded offensively. He's always had decent to strong O-lines, a Hall of Fame tight end, and usually has one of the top WRs in the league (TO and now Dez Bryant).

He just screws it up.

 

8 second pass protection! My god, that's pretty much unheard of. And it's not like the Giants are a bad pass rushing team, they are traditionally solid.

 

Philly actually got to him so he screwed up.

Romo can not handle pressure one bit. The bigger the stage and the more important the games, the worse he comes up. If the Giants had won last week, the Cowboys would probably miss the playoffs as they'd be 7-5. Instead at 8-4 I still think the Cowboys make the playoffs. I can't remember a 6-1 team ever missing the playoffs in the modern 6 playoff teams a conference era. Especially in the NFC. We know the NFC South certainly isn't going to provide a wild card team.

 

9-7 is probably the worst they'll do, 10-6 is more likely, and that's a playoff team. I guess this Bears game coming up is everything. If Romo craps that up, they're in trouble, because Colts and Eagles are going to be very tough to win, Eagles on the road even. I expect they beat the Redskins, but if that's yet another win and you're in lose and you're out situation, well, knowing Romo, probably they do lose, finish 8-8, and miss the playoffs yet again.

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

Well put Serpent.

 

And all the media was busy kneeling and bobbing the first 9 weeks of the season. Hell, they even convinced me enough to roll with Romo in my fanduel Thursday only matchups.

Yeah, that was false. But his other points are valid. Romo is a choker in big games. Come from behind wins in October aren't that big of a deal.

[Cruzer 1,995]

Ha, did I call it or what? Sign of a giant tool - only show up when your team wins. O'well nothing new - we all know this by now who is and who isn't.

 

To be fair, that wasn't a Romo choke job. What that was - well it was a total, 100%, up and down the field, both sides of the ball ass whipping. Outplayed, outcoached - you name it, was all there. Exactly what I feared about this game came true. We simply don't have the defensive personnel to play with that offense the Igs have. After seeing what they did to us - I am shocked GB was able to kick their ass as bad as they did.

 

Philly is the class of the East, we are just an average team.

I bump this when Romo comes up small in big games. I guess I could have given him the accalades when the Cowboys squeaked by the lowly VaGiants, but I didn't. Sorry bro.

[sirensong 111]

 

To be fair, that wasn't a Romo choke job. What that was - well it was a total, 100%, up and down the field, both sides of the ball ass whipping.

 

this loss is on the offense. no one expected a bad DAL defense to be able to contain the eagles, especially given PHI's offensive approach and DAL's excessive snap count on sunday. it can be argued that DAL's defense actually overachieved by limiting PHI to so many FGs. and the special teams held up their end. so this loss is squarely on the offense. as the leader of the offense on the field, romo has to accept a ton of responsibility.

 

but here's where the self-fulfilling 'choke' narrative comes into play. it does not matter what romo does or doesn't do. for people like EG, any poor play by romo is immediately labeled as a 'choke', as though that is some special kind of thing. remember, after turning in one of the greatest games by a QB in NFL history--against the top team in the league--romo 'choked' away the DEN game last season.

 

DAL had absolutely no business challenging PHI for the division lead at this point in the season. in the preseason, everyone would have predicted a blowout. had DAL walked into the game with a 3-7 record (with exactly the same personnel), no one would have lifted an eyebrow at the final score. this game only counts as a 'choke' because DAL has overachieved to an incredible degree. so the cinderella team loses to the team who everyone said was the class of the division...and somehow this counts as a 'choke'.

 

you just can't argue with that logic, or lack of logic. any loss by the cowboys is due to romo choking. it's that simple.

[Cruzer 1,995]

this loss is on the offense.

The offense is largely culpable for sure. But I'm not absolving the defense for this loss - they are largely to blame for it as well. Equally to blame, the defensive coaches - did they not watch any film to prepare for this game? We looked as if we had never seen what they were going to do. Hell Philly scored on their first 3 possessions - so the tired excuse is out, and that's unacceptable, especially at home.

[sirensong 111]

3 straight elimination games, all of them in december. for the stretch...

 

completion percentage: 80.9

 

TDs: 10

 

INTs: 0

 

passer rating: 139.6

 

 

it's amazing what a guy can do when he finally gets support from the rest of the team.

 

but keep chirping EG--we expect nothing less from you.
