No, I am very happy my team won. If you think this is mean you should see GAF. The most I can say is good game, but I have no reason to hold back my happiness at the win.

Well..... he is the reason we lostbut like you and that other guy said the only reason Dallas is in the game is due to Romo but we also still lost because of him.

Alright, I need to turn the tables around to help you understand.

Suppose Dallas trails 9-3 in a game late in the fourth quarter. With the clock running out, Romo throws a touchdown pass and the Cowboys win 9-10. He also threw four interceptions on that day, two of them put the opponents into field goal range. He also lost a fumble that led to another field goal for the other team. Now the question: Who won the game for Dallas?

I'd say the Defense won that game since with that many turn-overs they only manged 9 points.

And that, my friend, is a double standard.

1. What happened today is that Romo made one mistake while the defense did let the team down. You blame Romo for the loss, because his one mistake led to the game-winning field goal for Denver.

2. In my fictional scenario, Romo did only one good thing while the defense kept the team in the game. You don't give Romo credit for the win, even though his one good action put his team ahead of their opponents in the final seconds of the game.

I get that, it's a team sport after all and I guess I shouldn't put all the blame on Romo but looking back at the game it would of been nice to see Ware or someone on that defense to make a clutch play. Ware didn't even get a sack in that game which doesn't make sense for supposedly one of the best pass-rushers in the league.

Typical Romo performance today at a game that matters and I'm loving it anyway go Eagles and go Redskins.

Yeah but that doesn't even matter when you cost your team the game. 

Well, if that's how you see it, then you should start a petition to convince the Cowboys to get Josh Freeman and replace Romo. You've clearly lost your marbles.


Nobody lost their marbles this is a typical Romo performance in a game that matters he always chokes there is a reason he is the most overrated quaterback in the league as long as he is the qb for the Cowboys they are not going anywhere and since they just signed him for a long term deal they will continue to suck for the next six years since the owner doesn't have the balls to get rid off him.

Romo is a great QB don't get me wrong he just ins't clutch and seems to make mistakes when games are on the line a lot. It happens every year. It's still early in the season and I believe Romo can get Dallas to the playoffs. 

And once they get there they will get blown away by the wildcard team they have to play in the first week.

You won't find me saying Romo isn't a choker, but when the offense puts up 48 (against a pretty good defense) and the team still loses, maybe it's time to look elsewhere for a scapegoat? Not sure what the difficulty here is, seems straightforward.

Romo might not be their only problem but its one of their major problems since he always figures out how to lose games for them instead of winning them by throwing INTs at cruical moments of the game.  Besides Romo sucking they still have a terrible secondary and a very overrated defensive line and linebackers and their running team still sucks also.  Both teams played pretty bad defense but I still take four sacks over zero sacks (Dallas).

As terrible as the Cowboys play on defense both the Eagles and Redskins still have a change to win the division the only team that is totally out of it is the Giants they totally imploded my guess is Tom Coughlin will not be the Giants coach at the end of the season.
