a few bad games?

eh, people were critical of Romo sits to pee for his propensity to fumble, and throw picks, and not win big games, and not win in december...did i forget anything?....before this year.

what Romo sits to pee does well is move around in the pocket and improvise- as long as he's not throwing a pick. i wish jason had that kind of mobility, but i wouldnt want romos downside either.

so, til he wins a meaningful game, he is a turd. not a dig- he's earned it. he is what he is.

Ya, a few bad games.

Everyone points to the collapse last year of the Cowboys but does anyone give any consideration for who they played? All four teams ended up in the final 4 of their conferences. Not to mention, the Ravens were #1 in qb rating against and Pitt was #2, and the NYG were #8 (and Romo sits to pee won and played well), and the Eagles were #5 (even after Romo sits to pee scorched them earlier in the year otherwise they would have been top 3). Ever consider the mission impossible December he had last year?

Nope. Of course not.

How about the fact that his Quarterbacking was HARDLY the problem in his first playoff loss, that one was on the holder! How about the fact that in his second game he played VERY well, regardless of what the stats would indicate. He had guys drop balls all over.

So sure, he's had his clunkers, the Giants game a few weeks ago certainly is in the list of worst performances. But didn't he at least have his team in position to win?

The Bronco game, while a disappointment, was not all on Romo sits to pee at all. The playcalling was terrible and his interception was a timing based route in which the Wr ran the wrong route. It happens. Not to mention it appears as though the Broncos defense is legit.

So please, list all of these games where he has been so terrible. I am curious.

With out TO's big play ability, and his drawing double coverage which allowed Romo sits to pee to have a WIDE open receiver ..... Romo sits to pee's lack of ability has been further exposed.

Having watched the Cowboys game I would say Romo sits to pee essentially mailed it in all game . He made a bunch of bad throws and poor decisions . It was almost as if he was playing preason all over again .

The contrast in the two QBs this week . Both made mistakes but one stepped up and got over those mistakes and eaked out a win while the other seemed disinterested and like he had given up by the third quarter ... and the team lost possibly because he couldn't count to 4 ...

Yes...., and no. Dallas' wideouts are certainly CFL quality. But Romo sits to pee has shown that he can excel with good ones. He currently does not have a single wideout who is willing to play underneath. They are all big play guys. Or at least think they are.

What has Tony Romo sits to pee done this season that's lead you to believe he is any better than Campbell?

He's flashier, and fans will always be naturally attracted to Romo sits to pee's style and Garrett's offense.

They don't take into account the costly nature of that flash, like against Pitt when Romo sits to pee threw an int on a drive that could have won the game.

I did laugh when Aikman, who in the past year went from objective to being very much a Cowboys homer from the booth, was singing his praises for driving his team to victory in the clutch (I was wondering how valid a statement that is, because it seems with the Cowboys offense they may not be needing a clutch drive that often the way Aikman was making it sound), and sure enough his comment jinxed them. That was in the Broncos game.

Deflect and Ignore?

Nope, just responded to the 2nd post that intimated that JC was somehow magically transformed into a qb in the same neighborhood as Romo sits to pee..

Any "greatest of all time" lists we should be keeping an eye on for your boy this week???

I think he can move into first place in all time wins against Todd Haley :hysterical:

Why? You're just going to make lame excuses...

Case in point:

17/29 189 1 TD. Not bad numbers if you completely ignore the fact (and you did) that Seattle was literally picking up street free-agents and STARTING them in their secondary that game b/c of injuries -- incl. the future HOF-er Pete Hunter.

The following year in the playoffs, The Giants were so banged up in their secondary they signed a guy off their practice squad for that game. And they lost another corner for the game just after halftime.

His numbers in that game weren't much better...I eagerly await Ken's feeble excuses...

That's lame, Ken. Even for you. Romo sits to pee is supposedly some elite QB on a whole 'nother level from Campbell, but games against teams with good defenses are just too tough to expect him to win? When the Cowboys season is on the line? Then I guess you're not really surprised when Romo sits to pee chokes in the playoffs either.

By comparison, the Giants finished the regular season last year with 10 consecutive games against team. They went 7-2, not including with one meaningless game (because they had already won the #1 seed in the NFC), with wins over Philly, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. The only other QB in the NFCE to lose to Pittsburgh and Baltimore was... Jason Campbell. If Romo sits to pee can't be expected to lift the Cowboys over their toughest opponents, what good is he?

lol what?

I'm just saying that there are plenty of times where QBs make "mental" errors that may seem ridiculous. I see a lot of people harping on Romo sits to pee and Campbell for not knowing the down and distance. I laugh at things like that, but also have an appreciation that those mistakes do happen sometimes.

It feels like people look at some of these mental errors and forget that they have happened before to other QBs in different ways; that was all I was saying. Perhaps in part because they are under an extreme amount of pressure and feeling a lot of adrenaline at times, and they make a mental mistake, but that's just a guess.

Its a fact that he "choked" as everyone puts it against teams that were considered great defenses. Take a look at how many times he was sacked against those teams in comparison to the other qbs you mentioned. He was playing under duress against those teams big time. In conditions that I seriously doubt Eli or any qb would thrive under.

When your line isn't blocking, it is hard to play the qb position. I also can assure you that it typically is not easy to sack Romo sits to pee and he avoided a good number of sacks on his own ability.

We can point to good road records, playoff wins/losses, and records against good teams and blame or credit the qb all day long. But if the Coaches don't bring it and the rest of the team doesn't bring it few single players have the ability to overcome all of that.

Romo sits to pee did beat the Giants last year. Was it a fluke? It was a big game and one that the TEAM played well.

And?

Did your pass rush get hurt? Did this same defense not win the superbowl?

Maybe i missed how this defense defeated the undefeated Patriots? If Brady couldn't beat them, why would we laugh at Romo sits to pee not to beat them?

Again, the gameplan did not call on attacking the corners for whatever ridiculous reason. This is one of the biggest disappointments about this game, other than the obvious screw up by the holder, and one that points to a poor gameplan.

Was it his fault that the Witten catch near the goaline was clearly a first down and not called correctly? This would have all but sealed the game.

Is it his fault that after the botched FG the defense gave up a big run to change field position?

Didn't Seattle appear in the Super bowl that year?
