Incredibly, it's still not sinking in. Let me try to help you out again. If you need help figuring out which team won the SB in '09 and who their QB was, I'm here for you. I'll give you a hint: he's an elite QB. In addition, I'd like for you to take a gander at which team resides at #2 on this list, and in your extremely uneducated sports mind, please offer up more spin to back all of your recent assertions:
I've been a Redskins fan my entire life and I loath the Cowboys with every inch of my being, but to claim Romo is an issue in Dallas is a silly remark. Romo has been a fantastic quarterback during his tenure with the Cowboys and, with the exception of several poorly timed mistakes, he has been "clutch" more often then not. Leave the guy alone, he threw 506 yards for 5 touchdowns. It was one of the greatest performances in a NFL history.
It's human nature to remember the bad things people do verse remembering all the good things. Like at work, one big mistake can ruin a career even though you are very good.
To this I say - Thank goodness for human nature because all I'll ever remember about Romo is that he sucks ! hahaha
<< <i>with the exception of several poorly timed mistakes, he has been "clutch" more often then not. >>
Those several poorly timed mistakes typically happen with the playoffs on the line. His "clutch" games, more than 25% of them, happened last year during an 8-8 season.
Correct?
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
Axtell? What up? Need an interpretation? What, was the #2 ranked scoring D not good enough for your boy? 15.6 too much to overcome? Did they need to pitch a shutout? And how on earth did N.O. do what they did way down at #20? A superior punter? Hotter cheerleaders?
Some guys play great, and seem to crack under pressure when the game is on the line (Romo, Romo, Romo)
Dimeman and Edmucnfitzgerald are either Cowboy/Romo haters or just bitter about the loss.
I am a lifelong Cowboys fan (Staubach through Aikman to Romo) And that loss really stung.
However, if you have even one ounce of football knowledge, how do you possibly blame a Quarterback when the defense gives up 51 points?
There was pressure all game long on Romo to keep up with Manning. And, he did. Was it an unfortunate time for his interception? Yes, absolutely. It would have been unfortunate if any on of his 5, yes 5 touchdown passes was that interception instead.
Jump on the bandwagon if you like, but watch a few football games first to understand that Romo has given that team many opportunities to win games in the past and nobody else came through.

I hope you know it takes more than a good defense to build a successful team (ala New York Jets).
It's comical that stown keeps logging into an alt account to attack me, then posting either right before or right after, although its pretty pathetic that you have to use two different ID's in order to support your ad hominem attacks that are targetting me and me alone, despite a number of other posters suggesting that Romo is *NOT* the problem in Dallas.
But then, when your team, which was a preseason favorite to make a deep playoff run, is two fortunate plays away from being 0-5, when your team's QB just set the record for consecutive games with pick 6's, and your starting QB likely won't even finish the season as the starter, it's going to play with your mind and you're going to do idiotic things.
But if you want to pick up 2009, let's go.
Romo completes over 63% of his passes in the regular season, for over 4400 yards, 26 TDs and 9 INTs. Fantastic year, and I doubt many teams wouldn't have loved to have that stat line from their QB.
Playoffs:
Game 1:
The Eagles come in with the same record as the Cowboys at 11-5, and are blown out and lose by 20. Romo goes 23/35 for 244 yards and a couple TDs.
Game 2:
Dallas goes on the road to play a Vikings team that went 12-4. Romo goes 22 for 35 for 198 yards and a pick. The defense, meanwhile, allows Brett frickin' Favre to go off for 4 TDs and 35 points allowed.
So blame Romo all you want for his failings in the Vikings game, but, if you're going to do that, then he single handedly won the game against Philadelphia. You don't get to say one without saying the other.
<< <i> However, if you have even one ounce of football knowledge, how do you possibly blame a Quarterback when the defense gives up 51 points? >>
A sane, rational person who has even a cursory knowledge of the game would point the finger at a QB responsible for the team scoring 48 points instead of the defense that gave up 51. I think it's an extension of the negativity extended because the Cowboys occupt so much media attention.
Romo is branded by MANY Cowboy fans as a good quarterback who has more than once choked in pressure situations. Or he just has just had bad luck in many high profile situations.
But make no mistake at all, many Cowboy fans see him as a choker. His stats don't really matter, because he has blown it many times before according to them.
Read down on all the comments. Many support Romo, and many do not.
Here is one from Derrick.................
Despite the defense giving up 51 points, the Cowboys still had a real chance to win that game. Tony Romo threw ANOTHER crucial interception, bottom line.
I'd call him Inspector Clouseau but don't want to insult Jacques.

In 2006, Peyton won a ring with the 23rd ranked scoring defense. In 2009, Drew won a ring with the 20th ranked scoring defense.
Shall I post your quotes yet again?
Those two guys have a ring because they're elite. They can elevate their play to a point where a deficient defense matters not. Tony Romo can't do that, because he's not elite. He's a poser. You should know all about that. Contrary to the two aforementioned guys, when TR is handed a subpar defense, his team goes home. Even when the Cowboys had the #2 scoring defense, they still watched the NFC Championship game and the SB on television. As for that '09 game against the Vikings, get the facts straight. I know it's asking a lot of you, but try hard. He turned the ball over three times and they scored three points. You know, typical Romo at the most inopportune time. All of the regular season heroics (you know, the ones that send a thrill up your leg) were nowhere to be found.
Axtell, you should visit the HoF in Canton sometime. It's filled with QBs who made the extra play time and again when a do-or-die game was on the line with two minutes remaining. I looked hard, but I couldn't find a single QB whose excellence stopped at 58 minutes of play just because he had a career game. If close but no cigar was the main criteria for entrance, your dream of publicly making out with Tony's plaque might actually come to fruition. Instead, he'll be paying to get in just like you will. Hell, perhaps the two of you can go together and simultaneously find out what it truly means to be elite.
Those two guys have a ring because they're elite. >>
By this insanity, Dan Marino isn't elite. He never won a ring, so he's not elite. Until Elway won his two at the end of his career he wasn't elite. Matt Ryan isn't elite.
Basing your ENTIRE argument over elite being if they've won a TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP is proof positive you don't know SQUAT about football. You, sir, are a fool.
You posted over on the sportscard board regarding old Becket magazines. You seemed pretty sane there. Here though on the sports talk board, you literrally are a complete psycho who should get help. Your brain can't even realize your own posts after you post them. Get help freak.

You are far and away the biggest charlatan to ever grace this board. You try so hard to impress, yet it always results in you being on the verge of therapy. Once all of your wild assertions have factually been drilled with holes, it's desperation time. Time for you to start making wild inferences, because you've got nothing else. I guess you figure if you make enough outlandish statements, you'll eventually connect. Keep trying. Actually, don't. Just make Week 6 picks for me, pretty please.
I'm not sure what Dan Marino has to do with any of this, seeing as I never mentioned his name, but since you went there, he is indeed elite. That's why I saw his plaque at the Hall. Numerous NFL records aside, he went to the playoffs 10 times. Won 8 games there. A trip to the SB. In other words, he won a number of truly meaningful games. Not Week 7 games, only to come up smaller than Mini-Me down the road like your boy. He actually won games that propelled his team into the playoffs and beyond.
Had I said "those two guys are elite because they have rings," you'd have a gotcha on your hands. But I didn't say that. Nice try. First you say idiotic things, next you fabricate stats (Romo's performance in the '09 playoff game against the Vikings), and then you twist words and make erroneous inferences. It's time for you to move on to a new topic and try again, because you're reeling.
Now, please elucidate our world with your Week 6 picks. SU is perfectly fine. You're clearly one step away from a white room with padded walls, and I'm afraid 38% ATS would send you there.
Anyone suggesting that Romo isn't on a hall of fame path simply hasn't been paying attention, or knows not one lick of football. Either way, that person is the LAST person on the planet to be lecturing anyone on the game of football.
Oh, by the way, the fact that Romo has been able to do all of this despite not being drafted is even more impressive.
Congrats to galaxy for seeing straight through strawman and spin on his first experience. Well done.

Romo was getting crushed against the Vikings. The OL played poorly and he had no time to throw, he was essentially had had no impact on the game because of it.

Manning is having a season for the record books and is taking the spotlight from guys like Romo and Rivers who have been great as well. I still would go w/ Romo as the QB for the team I pull for.

Dallas will never win big with Dez Bryant on that team and Jason Garrett as coach. Fortunately for them they continue to play in the worst division in football.

I guess that Romo led defense gave up most of the 631 yards in that last drive.

<< <i>1985fan You don't deserve a break.....sorry.
I made a statement that is true! And yes in the Denver/Dallas game "BOTH" defenses gave up 48 points.....
Then Romo had the game to win or lose and he threw the pic and "HE" lost the game!
Please grow a brain! >>
Sir, it is you who needs a brain to understand logic, and you are sorely lacking both.
You can't sit there and suggest the defense was what kept the team in the game today, while at the same time not giving credit to Romo for keeping them in the game against a superior Denver team. The fact that you're willing to excuse a team that let ONE guy torch them for over 300 yards receiving and continue to blame Romo is beyond logical at this point.
Get lost. Go find out what it means to be a real fan (which means not actively rooting against your own pro bowl QB and learning how to spell your team's all time best players' names) then come back. Until then? You're nothing but a loudmouthed, ignorant fool.
1985fan...why don't you get lost! You are the idiot who can't seem to grasp reality. I never said Romo didn't keep them in the game against Denver. I said he gave it away at the end with the INT that gave them the FG and the win. AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED!!!
And yes, the defense did keep them in the game today with the 4 take away's. If you can't see that you are even a bigger idiot than I thought!!!
You are the lamest person I have ever encountered out here. NOBODY wants your spew. Why can't you get the message and just go play with yourTony Romo blow-up doll!
Instead of going after my spelling and trying to turn everything around to try and make yourself look so smart.
You my friend are nothing but a STUPID wanna-be! Nobody out here wants to hear your stupid thought!
You guys keep arguing ... I was just happy to see Dallas blow another one! lol

<< <i>1985fan...why don't you get lost! You are the idiot who can't seem to grasp reality. >>
Ummm....you are the one arguing with everyone else even after being proven wrong. Dear Mr. Fair Weathered Fan with a mancrush for Stafford, please check Mr. Stafford's stats without Calvin Johnson.
Nice little Stafford tidbit, he has only been sacked multiple times in one game this year. That was the one game Megatron missed against Green Bay and got socked 5 times. In other words, Stafford is garbage when defenses don't have to worry about the one offensive weapon the Lions have.
I said he gave it away at the end with the INT that gave them the FG and the win. AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED!!!
If DIMEMAN wants to continue to push his idiocy on others while trying to get technical regarding the sequence of events, then he needs a remedial lesson in football.
Romo did not give the Broncos the Field Goal. When one teams offense (Denver) is on the field, the other teams's QB (Romo) is on the white part called the sideline. So, it was actually Dallas' defense that was on the field that gave up the field goal.
I dont think anyone really knows what you're problem is other than you are a pea brained sports fan debating on a real sports talk forum. Find a parrot so you can teach him to agree with you.
>>>Romo did not give the Broncos the Field Goal. When one teams offense (Denver) is on the field, the other teams's QB (Romo) is on the white part called the sideline. So, it was actually Dallas' defense that was on the field that gave up the field goal.<<<
BULL $HIT! How can you blame the defense when the QB throws a INT that puts the other team in FG range and they kick the FG to win the game. How is that on the defense???? Sure Romo is on the bench, but he gave them the FG.....PERIOD!
He did not give them the field goal. The defense could not get the turnover like Denver's did nor did it block the kick like many defenses have in the past.
Why don't you look up how many times Manning, Brady, Favre, Marino, Elway or any other Hall of Fame QB, was forced to score more than 48 points to win a game.
I told my daughter, who knows next to nothing about football, that the Cowboys lost that game 51 - 48. First thing out of her mouth was, "How did the other team score so many points?"
You can continue to blame Romo for that loss and others that you want, but when the defense is playing like it is, you will be in the very small minority with your thinking.
>>>He did not give them the field goal. The defense could not get the turnover like Denver's did nor did it block the kick like many defenses have in the past.<<<
That is the stupidest arguement I have heard yet! If you put that FG on the defense you are an idiot. Blocked FG's are few and far between. You can't turn the ball over in your end that gives the other team the winning FG and blame the defense for not blocking it!
>>>By the way, all these tired cliches about not being able to 'close', or not being 'clutch' ALL were being lobbed at Peyton's way before he got his ring.<<<
1985fan or anyone else out here.......Are you saying Romo will end up being another Payton Manning?????
He had better hurry.....he is in his "what" 7th year!!
First of all, its "Peyton". "Payton" was a running back for the Bears, who lost many, many games until they formed a great defense. Guess he falls into the same category as Romo (Big numbers but not a winner without a good defense)
What does it mean, that he isn't on the same level as Peyton Manning? How many in the history of the game were??? A handful or less.
One thinmg is for certain...Romo played very well yesterday throwing 3 TDs and no INTs and Dallas still lost. Time to look at other reasons for their failures this season than the scapegoat known as No. 9.

Shhh don't tell dimeman, no matter what, it's Romo's fault. No matter how many undeniable facts are put up, he is still adamant in his blame in all things Romo. You'd think he'd be happy to have a pro bowl QB on his roster (I know I would!) but to him, it's all Romo's fault, all the time.
Throw in his complete and total inability to spell all time great players' names right, and you have someone who really isn't a football fan.

Dallas goes on the road to play a Vikings team that went 12-4. Romo goes 22 for 35 for 198 yards and a pick. The defense, meanwhile, allows Brett frickin' Favre to go off for 4 TDs and 35 points allowed.
So blame Romo all you want for his failings in the Vikings game, but, if you're going to do that, then he single handedly won the game against Philadelphia. You don't get to say one without saying the other.
CLASS IS DISMISSED. >>
Romo was getting crushed against the Vikings. The OL played poorly and he had no time to throw, he was essentially had had no impact on the game because of it.

How many playoff victories does Stafford have under his belt?
Judging by how putrid the Dallas D has played this season, I bet Tony would take Detroit's D over the Dallas D, too, LOL..

But without the 4 turnovers caused by the Dallas D.....they wouldn't even have been in the game.
The defense on that last drive was worse that terrible. No way you give up a big play like that.

This is the line of reasoning you refused to accept in the Denver/Dallas game when talking about Romo, NOW you want to use it to excuse the defense? Give me a break!
<< <i>Dallas gave up too many big plays today, but you have to credit Johnson for most of that.

I guess that Romo led defense gave up most of the 631 yards in that last drive.

1985fan You don't deserve a break.....sorry.
I made a statement that is true! And yes in the Denver/Dallas game "BOTH" defenses gave up 48 points.....
Then Romo had the game to win or lose and he threw the pic and "HE" lost the game!
Please grow a brain!

Sir, it is you who needs a brain to understand logic, and you are sorely lacking both.
You can't sit there and suggest the defense was what kept the team in the game today, while at the same time not giving credit to Romo for keeping them in the game against a superior Denver team. The fact that you're willing to excuse a team that let ONE guy torch them for over 300 yards receiving and continue to blame Romo is beyond logical at this point.
Get lost. Go find out what it means to be a real fan (which means not actively rooting against your own pro bowl QB and learning how to spell your team's all time best players' names) then come back. Until then? You're nothing but a loudmouthed, ignorant fool.
And yes, the defense did keep them in the game today with the 4 take away's. If you can't see that you are even a bigger idiot than I thought!!!
You are the lamest person I have ever encountered out here. NOBODY wants your spew. Why can't you get the message and just go play with yourTony Romo blow-up doll!
Instead of going after my spelling and trying to turn everything around to try and make yourself look so smart.
You my friend are nothing but a STUPID wanna-be! Nobody out here wants to hear your stupid thought!
GET LOST!!!!!!!

With the rule changes to promote more scoring and catering to these modern day cream puffs QB's and Recievers,
The New Motto is: OFFSENSE wins championships.
The defense is just 11 guys with their hands tied hopeing for a offensive miscue(Romo) before the other team scores.
<< <i>1985fan...why don't you get lost! You are the idiot who can't seem to grasp reality. >>
Ummm....you are the one arguing with everyone else even after being proven wrong. Dear Mr. Fair Weathered Fan with a mancrush for Stafford, please check Mr. Stafford's stats without Calvin Johnson.
Nice little Stafford tidbit, he has only been sacked multiple times in one game this year. That was the one game Megatron missed against Green Bay and got socked 5 times. In other words, Stafford is garbage when defenses don't have to worry about the one offensive weapon the Lions have.
If DIMEMAN wants to continue to push his idiocy on others while trying to get technical regarding the sequence of events, then he needs a remedial lesson in football.
Romo did not give the Broncos the Field Goal. When one teams offense (Denver) is on the field, the other teams's QB (Romo) is on the white part called the sideline. So, it was actually Dallas' defense that was on the field that gave up the field goal.
I dont think anyone really knows what you're problem is other than you are a pea brained sports fan debating on a real sports talk forum. Find a parrot so you can teach him to agree with you.
BULL $HIT! How can you blame the defense when the QB throws a INT that puts the other team in FG range and they kick the FG to win the game. How is that on the defense???? Sure Romo is on the bench, but he gave them the FG.....PERIOD!
Why don't you look up how many times Manning, Brady, Favre, Marino, Elway or any other Hall of Fame QB, was forced to score more than 48 points to win a game.
I told my daughter, who knows next to nothing about football, that the Cowboys lost that game 51 - 48. First thing out of her mouth was, "How did the other team score so many points?"
You can continue to blame Romo for that loss and others that you want, but when the defense is playing like it is, you will be in the very small minority with your thinking.
That is the stupidest arguement I have heard yet! If you put that FG on the defense you are an idiot. Blocked FG's are few and far between. You can't turn the ball over in your end that gives the other team the winning FG and blame the defense for not blocking it!
GEEZE!!!
1985fan or anyone else out here.......Are you saying Romo will end up being another Payton Manning?????
He had better hurry.....he is in his "what" 7th year!!
This thought is laughable to say the least.
First of all, its "Peyton". "Payton" was a running back for the Bears, who lost many, many games until they formed a great defense. Guess he falls into the same category as Romo (Big numbers but not a winner without a good defense)
What does it mean, that he isn't on the same level as Peyton Manning? How many in the history of the game were??? A handful or less.

<< <i>One thinmg is for certain...Romo played very well yesterday throwing 3 TDs and no INTs and Dallas still lost. Time to look at other reasons for their failures this season than the scapegoat known as No. 9. >>
Shhh don't tell dimeman, no matter what, it's Romo's fault. No matter how many undeniable facts are put up, he is still adamant in his blame in all things Romo. You'd think he'd be happy to have a pro bowl QB on his roster (I know I would!) but to him, it's all Romo's fault, all the time.
Throw in his complete and total inability to spell all time great players' names right, and you have someone who really isn't a football fan.
