Packers vs Cowboys

[SS Junk]

It really sucks. He used to be really entertaining to watch. Seems Dallas and Washington mirror themselves in about every way. Game ought to be interesting on some level of suck.

I can't believe you're comparing the Skins to the Boys...oh wait...no I do believe it...

I don't like Washington as a team mostly because of the fans, however I do like football, I can appreciate rival talent and am not a superficial dumbfuck that sets horizons between Tony Romo's ass and naval.

BRISTOL, CT—In an installment of the popular segment broadcast Thursday night, ESPN’s “Sport Science” attempted to investigate the natural phenomena surrounding Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s shittiness and provide conclusive explanations for why the Dallas veteran sucks so bad.

“We always want to highlight the athletes who perform on nearly superhuman levels,” “Sports Science” host John Brenkus said. “And really, nobody in sports presents a better case study of a player who spectacularly collapses under the pressure of a professional athletic stage than Tony Romo.”

The “Sports Science” broadcast confirmed that Romo’s numerous boneheaded meltdowns in clutch situations correspond to an abnormally terrible field of vision coupled with an unparalleled knack for sloppily throwing into double coverage.

In addition, the show used computer animations of Romo’s brain to simulate the precise slowness of neural firings required for the quarterback to stand in the pocket and take a sack instead of spotting an open receiver streaking down the sideline.

Physicist and local professor Dr. Charles Dunbar, who worked as a consultant on the “Sport Science” segment, confirmed that Romo has seemed to defy logic with his horrid play over the years. Analyzing tape of the Dallas quarterback throwing four interceptions to the Giants in week eight, Dunbar said he was intrigued by how the human body could be capable of such an utterly shitty performance.

“It was truly fascinating to scrutinize Romo’s pathetic struggles on the field,” Dunbar said. “We are finally starting to unravel the science behind the dumb shit tripping over his own feet and falling down well before the pass rushers arrive.”

“Those in the scientific community interested in studying piss poor quarterbacking truly couldn’t ask for a better subject,” Dunbar added.

I LOL'd. That's pretty good.


So.... Romo haters, what W/L record would your Cowboys have if you had a different QB? Same coaches, same defense, same everything? Just a different QB.

The W/L record would probably be worse, but Cowboys fans all over the country wouldn't be fooled into thinking that they were "going deep into the post-season".

NFL Career Fourth Quarter Comebacks Leaders (since 1960)

Romo is tied for 23rd with 19
Aikman is tied for 45th with 16

as a side note, Manning is 1st with 40, beast mode for sure

That says a hell of a lot more about the fans, coaches, and owner than it does anything else.

So what you're saying is......


wait for it......







Romo doesn't suck?

Numbers can say anything you want them to say. High completion % in Q4? I'll give you a QB who's playing from way behind and the defense is in prevent. See how it works? If you want to really measure, you need to look at situational stats like points down/points ahead; time left; field position, etc. Look at the numbers when what matters is THAT particular possession and not the cumulative stats over a 3 year period. If you do that, you'll see Romo isn't on par with other QB's like all the Homo lovers claim he's equal to or better than.

Some situational stats: http://www.nfl.com/player/tonyromo/2...tuationalstats

Example:

QB Rating:
Ahead 1-8 points = 91.2
Ahead 9-16 points = 76.5
Behind 1-8 points = 105.9
Behind 9-16 points = 123.3 (a la prevent defense)
Last 2 minutes of a half = 79.9 (2 picks then as well with 2 TD's)

He's thrown 5 picks with the lead versus 2 while behind and 2 while tied. He also has 4 picks in Q4 -- all within 7 points score wise.

You can also look at the stat that his rating on attempts 31+ falls to 77.5. Yet another reason to hand the ball off. I didn't compare these to other QB's, but they paint the picture to me -- the guy isn't half as good as he and many others think he is -- Q4 claims be damned by how great he's rated.

Edit: Just for grins, Peyton Manning's rating this season ahead 9-16 points is 130.9. Big difference!

Edit #2: I found this interesting. Romo passing attempts with the lead = 237. Passing attempts from behind = 165. Completion percentage is almost identical at 64%. The question is, why throw so much with the lead?

It was 4-5 with 16 TDs, 12 INTs, and 88.9 QBR.

Not all of them, but the stories I could tell you living in the DC area... Lots of idiots around these parts.

[Nash B.]

You shouldn't, I shouldn't, nobody should.

I always wonder when I see people bitching on here about their FB pages blowing up with this or that. I never really see a whole lot of anything on my FB ... but I will say this:

I have 474 FB "friends" and I saw, literally, 5 posts this afternoon regarding the Cowboys. I hope everyone is just getting sick of this shit losing interest altogether.

I slept through most of the game, watched part of the third quarter, and listened to the last few drives on the way to work.

Lolz at this one:

When scoring 35 or more points in a game this season, Dallas is 1-2.
When scoring 35 or more points in a game this season, the rest of the NFL is 51-2.

Ouch.

Surely opposing defenses haven't noticed any of these trends and aren't expecting pass on every down.

that all sounds like a coaching/game managing problem to me

Except the coach isn't the one checking the play at the line or throwing the pass...
