Cowboys roster cuts

Please provide us with your thorough analysis of how Tony is the root of all the Cowboys issues.

I didn't say he was the root of all the Cowboys issues.

Playoff results.

And more importantly, I just don't like him.

On January 6, 2007, the Dallas Cowboys traveled to Qwest Field to play the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC wild card playoff round. With the Cowboys down 21-20 and 1:19 left on the clock, Dallas attempted a 19-yard field goal. Romo botched the hold for the kicker by dropping the snap as he attempted to set it down. Romo then tried to run into the end zone for an impromptu touchdown, but was tackled at the one-yard line by Seattle defensive back Jordan Babineaux. Seattle took over on their own one yard line.

In the Cowboys' January 13, 2008 Division playoff game against the New York Giants, Romo was unable to lead his team to a come-from-behind victory. On 4th down with less than half a minute and no timeouts left, Romo threw the ball into the endzone, but it was intercepted by Giants cornerback R. W. McQuarters, ensuring that the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs with a 21–17 loss
In what became a de facto third playoff game for Romo shortly prior to its start, on December 28, 2008, Romo and the Cowboys failed to compete against the Philadelphia Eagles in a 44–6 loss.[18] Romo committed three turnovers in the game and went 21/39 for 183 yards and no touchdowns.[19] The loss dropped Romo's combined record in December to 5–8 and again raised questions concerning Romo's performance in games of consequence.

The Dallas Cowboys became the NFC East division champions with their season finale shutout of the Philadelphia Eagles, the second division title in Romo's three full seasons as the starting quarterback.
Romo had a 104.9 passer rating in a 34-14 win of the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the playoffs, earning the first play-off win in 13 years for the Dallas Cowboys, and his own first career post-season win.
[B]However the following week in the NFC divisional rounds against the number two seed Minnesota Vikings, Romo had three fumbles (losing two), an interception and was sacked six times in the 34-3 loss.



I don't give a fuck how good a QB is during the regular season. If he can't get into the playoffs without choking, what's he really worth?

On a side note, I likie teh cock!11!!1

The first game, he was in his first ever playoff game, and shouldn't have been holding the ball to begin with.

The second game, Crayton dropped the biggest pass of his life and screwed well before that interception in the end zone.

No one played well in the Philly game.

They had no chance in that Minny game. The O-line was getting owned and then to top it off Flozell got hurt halfway through.

You might chalk that Giant game up to him, but he was not the biggest factor in their losses in the others. The common denominator to me is a lack of a real offensive line.

Oh mother of Christ....

To combat your first reason - As the starting QB, he shouldn't have been holding the ball in the first place. Brick Feet should have. That's more on the coaching staff than on Romo.

2 - Romo isn't solely to blame. Look at the O Line, and his supporting cast.

3- Same thing. Romo was running for his life, because the old, slow, and fat offensive line were getting tossed around like rag dolls.

(He was holding the ball all season. Not a valid excuse)

The second game, Crayton dropped the biggest pass of his life and screwed well before that interception in the end zone.
(Romo had three turnovers. Again not a valid excuse)

No one played well in the Philly game.

They had no chance in that Minny game. The O-line was getting owned and then to top it off Flozell got hurt halfway through.
(Sounds like he should have moved quicker. Somewhat valid excuse)

You might chalk that Giant game up to him, but he was not the biggest factor in their losses in the others. The common denominator to me is a lack of a real offensive line.
(It was his fault. No excuse would be valid.)

Romo is a great regular season QB. That's about all the praise he deserves.

I'm finished with this argument.
We have different opinions of Romo, nothing he has done up to this point will change that.

None of that really changes my opinion of the guy. I never said he was the sole reason for the Cowboys issues. I'll rephrase what I said, Romo sucks in the post season. So how confident are all of you when post season play starts?


I'll let you guys get back to the origional topic of this thread...
Sorry for the derail.
