he's a marketable name. he is a 'stable enough' QB. he's an insanely talented athlete, he's just not bright or all that focused. he is good enough for 12-14 years of keeping it together. And on any given sunday, he *could* put it together and win. He pushed manning hard last year in shootouts. 75% of the QBs in the league can't shoot it out like him, maybe more.
he's a safe choice for QB. May never win the big one, may never get there, but might get lucky one year. Favre only won it once, and he was much better than Romo, it was every year losing to 49ers or Cowboys.
What about this fucker? ???

I agree with all of this....until the 4th qtr.
Are you serious? What about all his tremendous fuck ups? I must not know enough about football. He singlehandedly screwed the Bengals in several games last season with completely amateur mistakes.
Tony Romo has led 23 game-winning drives since 2006, I'm not sure how you arrived at this conclusion.
That's very true , I guess u could say when the game really mattered like the playoffs , or the final game of the season where he had to win the division and get into the play offs he's failed!!
Botched snap in Seattle comes to mind, 2007 team when they were 13-3 against the giants, a few yrs ago against the redskins throwing an interception and many many more when the game counted
See this is where the "un-clutch" label comes from. He's fucked up a couple of memorable times and that's all anybody remembers about him. I still think his body of work makes him a top-8 QB today.
Think about Peyton Manning throwing that pick-six in the Superbowl. Or how he nearly got shut-out this year in the Superbowl. Hell, he's only 11-12 in the playoffs... doesn't mean he's not one of the greatest of all time
I see where u getting but that's the way sports goes
Yes but romo ain't Peyton :D as for Peyton's defense he did win 1 SB after all
Yeah sadly. I'm a Romo fan and I think he would have won a Superbowl or two on a lot of other teams.

Romo still has dreams of playing pro golf. The amount of practice is takes to be anywhere near that kind of level of golf is unheard of. If he quit golf and focused on just Football, I'm guessing he would be a top 3-5 QB in the league...
What about this fucker? ???Thats not bigmc.

Driving your team 32 yards to kick a field goal with 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter to beat the Jaguars isn't exactly the stuff of QB lore.
Tony Romo will get Jason Garrett fired this year, probably the first NFL coach to get canned this season.
I agree Romo could be top 5 in the league in a year, if he put down the clubs. He's an amazing athlete, he's good at everything he does. He got a max football deal by just half-assing it.
And Favre had a shitload of INTs also. It happens when you shoot it out that many times. DAL _efense is going to suck again, we'll see Romo with 9 or 10 4th quarter rallies this year.
My biggest concern with Romo is being able to play a full season after back surgery at 35 years old.
You're right though, with that defense constantly putting them behind in games he'll throw for a ton of yards but I doubt he plays over 12 games or so this year.
my biggest concern is how punchable his face is.
I can't believe he's 35. shit, i'm old!
Another year or two and Dalton will be a star in the NFL. Way underrated.
Top 3?

Then......MAYBE you could put Romo on the list.....MAYBE.
Andy Dalton's contract is only for 2 years and 25 million..anything else not guaranteed, the team can cut himI would have told Daulton to forget about an extension.
same goes for Kap in San Francisco
I said if he quit golf. The guy is a scratch player who practices golf more than he practices football. The guys head has never been 100% into football is all i'm saying...Although he's too old to turn it around now. He is who he is...If he was 25 to 28 and not put most of his time into playing golf, I think he would have been a much different QB...

It's a list of who I think are better QBs than Romo.....it really isn't in any thoughtful order.
But BULLSHIT that Tony Romo is better than 1/2 that list. Not a chance.
Holy fuck you couldn't be more wrong.....let me guess, you think Trent Dilfer is a good QB because he won a Superbowl ::)
Besides 6 of them on your list its highly debatable
Come on! Newton, luck, flacco, Ryan....haha
speak your piece shitbird.....because Tony Romo is NOT the deity the Cowboy dicksuck media makes him out to be.

Questions?
You have Tony Homo equal to Philip Rivers.....but better than E. Manning, Luck, and Ryan.....who are all head and shoulders better than Rivers.
You're dumb.....
If you don't think Andrew Luck is a better QB than Tony Romo (now and in the future) you're at a "Coach is Back" level of stupid.
Why are those three better then Rivers? Please provide quantifiable evidence to support your claim
Nope. Explain how he's better? Hasn't been in the league that long? What has luck done?
Luck still has time to improve and we'll see in the long run
In the mean time luck isn't better than romo
U are a dumb shit!
Aren't u a paki too?? Rest my case :D
Ahhhhhh......I see, you're the guy with the retarded gimmick that thinks referring to a white American as a Paki is funny.
Didn't get much mileage out of that the other 300 times you tried did you? ::)
Andrew Luck >>>>> Tony Homo.
I am not a gimmick
Dismissed fuckface.....and your Teutonic Knight gimmick.
Go back to jerking your uncle Wolfgang off for a 1/2 pack of Halls lozenges.
Not at all man, pm Ron
U still haven't answered
Now u are back tracking ;D typical key board warrior
Fuck you fuckface.......it's idiots like you with shitty gimmicks that are running this place.
Back to Bavaria and sucking dick for stale cheese for you.
Go ahead and explain why they're worse....."because I said so" is not an acceptable answer.
Because you're hanging your hat on Philip Rivers now, and I don't remember him winning anything of note.
U got it all wrong man ;D I was born and raised in SoCal , German parents
Went to school in Austin , living in dallas
Not a cowboy fan , a niners fan
No gimmick at all
Eat shit and die.....you're in the Shitso gimmick category now. A half step up from "the trainer".
Masterful rebuttal ::)
To answer your question, over 8 seasons as a starter, Rivers has a completion percentage of 64.4%, 7.9 YPA, 96.0 QB rating, and a 2.2 TD/int ratio. None of the three you mentioned approach these numbers.
Is that easy enough for you to understand?

I was just watching a show on TV about Tony Romo and his mega-contract. They showed his career Win/Loss record, TD to interception ratio, game winning drives, and some other stats. Now....admittedly I'm not as learned a football fan as many of you are.....but what the fuck has this guy done to deserve that kind of salary and the accolades he receives?(http://tybeehosting.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/tony-romas.jpg)
Am I missing something here? He's not even in the top 5 QBs in the league?
Manning leads Rivers in total yards (35,345 to 32,369)
Touchdowns (229 to 221)
Wins (85 to 79)
Of course Superbowls (2 to 0)
Lets also not forget the Superbowl MVPs (2 to 0)
Who is it again that leads all active quarterbacks in fourth quarter comebacks - Oh yeah Eli?
I'll take a strong, winning leader over a QB rating wonder anytime.
Manning has played about a season and a half more, though, and has almost 70 more interceptions.
The only argument he has is the super bowls which doesn't make up for the often average to below average seasons he has had amongst those. I prefer to also watch the game as well and Rivers, to me, looks much better overall/steady throughout his career. Manning just seems so up and down and got on a couple streaks for those super bowls which I guess you can't really argue with that if you base your arguments on simply super bowls only.
(http://tybeehosting.com/discover/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/tony-romas.jpg)
Yes, and Eli has thrown 70 more interceptions in that timespan as well. That's about 9 more interceptions per season.....quite a bit.
Sure, Eli has more yards but he needed about 900 more attempts to get there. Doesn't help your case.
Touchdowns, sure, I'll concede that, but I'd rather have a QB that doesn't turn the ball over.
For his career, Eli has 58.5 comp%, 7.1 YPA, 81.2 qb rating, and a td/int ratio of 1.3....these are all way worse than Rivers.
I don't know where you're getting your info but P. Manning & Brady both have more comebacks than Eli.
Praytell, how does one quantify a "strong, winning leader"? Or is this just the feeling you get when you look at Eli? :D
2 Superbowl wins >>>>>>>> QB that doesn't turn the ball over
So by this logic, Eli is better than Peyton?
Explains why Jessica Simpson went totally "off season"....Quadzilla pic taken a few days ago.
Peyton does a lot more than not turn the ball over.
You've strayed from your argument.....Philip Rivers is a very good QB, better than Toni Homo, you've proven that in a backwards way.

Actually, the careers of Romo & Rivers are very similar.... hence my initial comparison.
Why do you feel Rivers to be better than Romo?

Romo is fucking horrible. Absolutely horrible.
Tony Romo has led 23 game-winning drives since 2006, I'm not sure how you arrived at this conclusion.
How many times has a Romo INT (while they were ahead in 4th) resulted in a Cowboy loss? I saw a stat last year and though I cannot remember the exact numbers - it was staggering. He was three times the second place QB

2 Superbowl wins >>>>>>>> QB that doesn't turn the ball over
Plus take into it that Manning throws bombs, a lot of throws down the field, not little safe, dump off passes.
...just please don't let him throw anymore screen passes!
People say Eli wins because of his defense.....in 2011 the Giants had the 25th best defense in the league and they won the Superbowl.
And Toni Homo was practicing his putting....
The whole "Quarterbacks who have won a Superbowl" argument is a bit overrated though when your average spare quarterback can win one with a dominating defense.
I wasn't around to see Bradshaw but besides him there has only been 3 QBs to win 3 or more superbowls...Montana, Aikman, and Brady and all 3 of those guys were incredible.
The reason for playing the game is to win the brass ring.....and average "spare" QBs don't win the SB.
The "Trent Dilfer" argument is doubly overrated, if the QB didn't matter, the top twenty picks in the Draft would be defensive players every year. Every year the Pats and Broncos have a strong chance to win the Superbowl because of who they have at QB.
Well that is a poor premise.
Of course the Quarterback matters...it's the most important position to fill.
However, Mark Rypien, Hostetler, Doug Williams, Brad Johnson...all pretty average Quarterbacks who won superbowls.
Then.....if it's so fucking easy, why hasn't $120M Toni Homo won 6-7 in his career?
Who says it's easy?
There are over 30 Franchises and they all want to win.
If your favorite team wins 2 or 3 superbowls during your life consider yourself lucky.
Maybe.......you're missing the point of this thread.
Tony Romo is praised and treated like he is a deity for being a "superstar NFL QB". I don't really see why. He is seemingly a good player, maybe even very good on the odd day, but I don't see why there is all the ass kissing about him being a superstar?
I'm not from Dallas, I don't see him play week in and week out, so maybe he's great and the somehow he miraculously hides that from the rest of the country?

I tell my dad all of the time (he is a Giants fan and I a Pats fan) That I can't stand Eli manning.
I say he looks like he has down syndrome, and I laugh at how pathetic he plays at times.
In reality, I respect Eli. That guy has ruined two superbowls (on the last drive) for my Patriots.
Little kids in Africa are wearing "Patriots 2007 undefeated champions" shirts because of Eli.
Eli has earned every penny.
Sadly this is the caseI take nothing away from Brady. Tom had the Pats in position to win both games against the Giants. The Pats defense gave it up both times.
I went for the patriots both times , modern era brady is my fav qb!
I am from Dallas and I have seen him play week in and week out his entire career and I can say for every game he has shit the bed in spectacular fashion he has won another game or 2 in spectacular fashion.
And therein lies Tony Romo. The ultimate gunslinger.
I would not put him on the list of the all time greats or anything like that but he does have the statistics to back up that position.
His 95.8 quarterback rating puts him 5th all time which is extremely impressive so he does have that going for him.
im not a tony romo fan. i think hes talented. i think he gets a lot of the losses he takes hung on him unjustly. i watched that game w denver. that last INT he threw his reciever didnt run his route correctly. he came under, he was supposed to go over. but romo gets crucified case he gave the ball up. again.
i think he 'could be' a top tier qb in the nfl. his problem isnt his physical attributes, hes extremely agile and has a terrific arm. his problem is that when he starts to lose control he cannot maintain his composure. guys like TB and PM can function and perform under extreme stress and pressure. ive seen TB throw an INT with minutes left in a game they were already losing. romo would have been on the sidelines throwing his helmet chewing the fuck out of his receiver for running a blown route cause that cost them the game. TB went to the bench sat by himself, looked at the printouts. went back out w :40 left. orchestrated a drive that saw them going into OT and eventually winning.
THAT is what make guys like peyton, and brady great. and that is why tony romo is unrealised potential. you cant teach a guy that. you either can perform under duress or you cant. tony romo cant. he has all the physical attributes in the world to be great. moreso than peyton. but he doesnt have it upstairs.
there are literally thousands of scratch golfers good enough to play on the Tour. but mentally they cant handle it. some the stress of the cameras. some the pressure of needing to win in front of millions.
being great at something is as much an exercise in mental capabilities than physical.
I agree but I don't think Peyton is very good under pressure , Eli is but not Peyton
The only thing I could find was this: http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/74796/the-two-faces-of-tony-romo
Since 2006 Tony Romo has led the NFL with 8 interceptions in the 4th quarter when the score is within seven points. Who is next with 7 interceptions apiece? Matt "Matty Ice" Ryan and Mr Clutch himself, Tom Brady
Romo was always a "Bill Parcells guy"
He was an undrafted free agent who was a basic unknown for 2 years while sitting on the bench. Nobody knew who he was.
But Parcells kept him on the roster without ever seeing him throw a pass in a real game because he just seen something in him.
I can even remember hearing on the radio during preseason... "What's the quarterback situation? Are they going cut this third string guy Romo or keep him around?" And the answer was always "Bill sees something in him so they will keep him on the roster"
It really is a shame that Parcells left the organization because it looked like he was really starting to turn things around.
Of course with Jerry Jones it's all about ego.
U have Terrell Owens to thank for that
As noted earlier... Romo is terrible. Just terrible.
cowboys suck big fat donkey dick!!
:'( :'( :'( :'(

Am I missing something here?
Well that's what happens when u are forced to make plays and depend on your offense only
Defense played pretty well today. Romo and Demarco killed them with those early turnovers.
True but the mentality of the team is still offense minded and relying/pressure all on romo to make big plays and carry the team
They shouldn't anymore. Romo was throwing ducks all game. He might be done.
All that money for a QB that can't throw a spiral past 10 yards. Makes me sick to be a Cowboys fan.

Yes my friend, your anabolic window. You simply care too much...
I agree with all of this....until the 4th qtr.Yeah, and the playoffs, oh wait they don't make the playoffs
At least we know Romo won't lead the Cowboys to another 8-8 season. They'll be 3-13.
Another year or two and Dalton will be a star in the NFL. Way underrated.
Jerry Jones is going to live and die by his ego. His biggest fear is letting Romo and Jason Garret go and having them go to another team and win a super bowl
I noticed from last nights game that kalpaernick? Doesnt run with the ball anymore, just a normal qb these days
He doesn't need to run with that dallas defense and no pass rush/pressure :D
I was just watching a show on TV about Tony Romo and his mega-contract. They showed his career Win/Loss record, TD to interception ratio, game winning drives, and some other stats. Now....admittedly I'm not as learned a football fan as many of you are.....but what the fuck has this guy done to deserve that kind of salary and the accolades he receives?Jerry Jones has become senile. He also makes money if the team is a competitive 8-8 every year, so he does not give a shit.
Am I missing something here? He's not even in the top 5 QBs in the league?
Jerry Jones has become senile. He also makes money if the team is a competitive 8-8 every year, so he does not dive a shit. The Cowboys need a couple of rock-bottom 3-13 seasons to hit Jerry in the wallet and get him to make changes.
Romo is only 34 years old.....he will figure it out some day.
i could see him being effective at age 36, 38 IF he had the work ethic of a brady or peyton.
But, like Eli, his lazy casual attitude catches him fast after age 30.
RG3 carted off the field again, will not return
Someone go check up on Big ACH

as much as i hate manziel, he'd be way more entertaining as teh DAL QB right now.
sad to see Romo, Eli, and others get worse with age. Derek anderson (cam newton backup in CAROLINA) looking great against TB defense with lovie smith coaching.
lol im no romo fan- i think hes got talent but often forgets to field it- but manziel couldnt hold romos jock strap.
and another one
yes he's become a good game manager, like Alex Smith.
but game managers dont win superbowls.
What is that? About 58 yards in the air you reckon?

Yep. Trent Dilfer got his ring.
I have to admit, Romo is getting stronger every week.
Typical Romo ::)
;D
Hey I'm no Romosexual, but he frickin shook JJ Watt on that.I am not a fan, but it was an exciting, great play. Props.
Hey I'm no Romosexual, but he frickin shook JJ Watt on that.
If Flacco and Dilfer can get rings, then pretty much anyone can except Mark Sanchez.

And tebow, and leinart, and jemarcus Russell, and matt Barkley, vince young, colt McCoy.... The list goes on for those that can't....
It's not that easy
No... it takes more than a single player to get that done.
Rex grossman comes to mind who failed miserably
U still gotta be decent or get hot at the right moment like flacco and Eli
Eli got hot TWICE.
I don't know if I will ever see Flacco win another ring to be honest.
Certainly there's lots of things that go along with it.
True
Flacco most likely will never win another one esp now that he has that huge contract
If there is anyone that deserves one I think it's rivers imo
Rivers has been MVP-like this year.
watch Russel Wilson if you guys want to watch a kid who's going to be something very special.Wilson is awesome. He is light years ahead of a guy like Kaepernick.
scrambles like a scared hare. great touch on the ball. prolly one the most accurate passers on the run outside the pocket. his football instincts can't be taught.
imo one of the top and most accurate passers in the league, the best athlete in that position in the league and the most exciting player to watch in the NFL.
kids got it all. 5 years from now if he keeps developing like this people will be using him in the same breath as Montana Brady and Manning.
RG and Kaepernick couldn't hold his jock strap. this kids the real deal.
top 3 QBs in the league in no particular order - t Brady p manning Russell Wilson. if I were building a team I'd take him over Brees Luck and Rodgers any day.
Wilson is awesome. He is light years ahead of a guy like Kaepernick.
Luck is a very good qb too though. The Seahawks have a far better team surrounding Wilson than Luck does.
You are right about wanting to build a team around Wilson.
He just has that "it" factor.

In a match-up of shit QB Tony Romo vs. Super Duper Badass GOD QB Russell Wilson, it wasn't even close.
Romo comes in with a solid 21/32, 250 Yards, 2 TD 0 INT
While Wilson puts up a pathetic 14/28, 126 yards 0 TD and his last throw being an interception.
lol one game. wow.
lets count superbowl rings.
I get you have a vested interest as a Dallas fan in supporting tony romo but don't let they loyalty cause you to talk with no common sense. Wilson had a bad game. Romos made a career of having bad games.
there's tony romo and there's Russell Wilson. there is no comparison.
can you honestly say you'd take tony romo (from any year) over Russell Wilson if you were building a team?
What does that even mean? ???
My stance the entire time has been that Tony Romo is a really good NFL quarterback who will play better this year and probably surprise some people with an improved offensive line.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Shit gets easier when you aren't playing from behind and having to throw the ball 50 times.
And seeing how 3 of those top lineman are 23 years old and younger, he will probably end his career putting up similar numbers to what I have been posting.
Winning up in Seattle is nearly impossible and they did it
Dallas is 5-1 and its a big win everywhere for them for a team that was projected as failures and predictions of 7-9, 8-8, or 6-10 etc...
no, your stance was being vindictive and petty over dallas beating seattle after the post i made regarding russel wilson.
and i have no clue what that means. lol actually it begins to make no sense at 'dont let they loyalty...' :D
haha, I know Russell Wilson is the real deal and a franchise changing player plus Seattle is likely going to win 12 to 14 games this year so I just gotta get my cheap pot shots whenever I can! 8) :D

(http://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/2348100/twill.0.gif)
I dunno. Dallas D played Wilson well. same thing w SD. if you can contain him it makes it very difficult for him to do what he does best- keep dead plays alive and turn them into positive yardage. id like to see a stat on that actually.
you almost have to spy him. commit a linebacker to him. but you can't have your linebackers commit too much before the snap of the ball because he's very very good at optioning the ball. spy also serves to keep Lynch honest too. keeps an extra attacker in the box but you have to hang your secondary out a bit on man coverage to do it which really benefits a guy like harvin, or say lynch if he's blocking out of the backfield and rolls up in that area 5 yards or so past the line of scrimmage. the guy you have assigned to Wilson has to stay put leaving lynch open if Wilson can evade under pressure or misses a progression a designed play which Seattle executes very well
that's how you beat Seattle. you gamble and attempt to make Wilson a non factor cause your sure as shit not going to beat them in a shoot out. Sherman proves even in press coverage he's the real deal w/o the ability to have contact at the line of scrimmage. that D is still tenacious and very fast. eliminate Wilson, manage the game on offense just small chunks keep the chains active and you have a good shot.
Seattle I've noticed also tends to play better once they establish a rhythm either w Wilson or w lynch. most teams use run to open up the pass. Seattle uses run to further jam the ball down your throat. if you can prevent that rhythm and have Carroll need to deviate from their plan of attack you got a great shot. Seattle is rhythm team if ever there was one. that's why they are so dominant when they get the run game going or Wilson going. when they have to 'work ' and grind out a win it's a differnt ball game for them.
dude on a broken play like that eventually some is going to get open somewhere. its not a defensive breakdown when you have receivers scrambling helter skelter all over the field trying to save their QBs ass. lol fuck. if anything it shows romo once again being careless with the ball, way overthrowing his intended receiver and getting bailed out by the receiver streaking accross field and w making yet another circus catch.
lol one game. wow.
lets count superbowl rings.
I get you have a vested interest as a Dallas fan in supporting tony romo but don't let they loyalty cause you to talk with no common sense. Wilson had a bad game. Romos made a career of having bad games.
there's tony romo and there's Russell Wilson. there is no comparison.
can you honestly say you'd take tony romo (from any year) over Russell Wilson if you were building a team?

wow. it's bad I even have to explain this to you.
the ball was thrown to the receiver underneath.
that receiver was not the intended receiver.
that's why the ball was thrown to that exact spot- over the shoulder ahead of the receiver going down field. a terrificly thrown ball actually had he been 2 or 3 steps faster.
lol at you thinking the guy over top was the intended receiver.
If you truly understand the game - you cannot dispute that Romo made plays last night that few others could make. Has the guy been a disaster at times?? Hell yes. But Romo has major talent.
Dallas out HIT the Hawks - they were more physical and the Cowboy O line dominated the game...
Was very cool seeing Dez and Sherman going at it - two of the very best in the game.
No one, you just need to calm down.
And I say that with all due respect.
I'm a huge fan of your training advices and your posts on a whole array of other topics pertaining to life in general.
Don't let your hatred for the guy allow you to make ignorant statements that hurt your credibility.

lol ok dude we have a difference of opinion.
I don't hate tony romo. why the fuck would I hate him? I think he has the ability to be on a level w Tom Brady or Peyton skill set wise. he's got a cannon for an arm and is incredibly athletic (for a white guy :D)
I'm giving my opinion as an unbiased fan of football. maybe your right. maybe he wanted bring that receiver all the way accross field on a bailout when the receiver running the fly route had his man beat and no one over top. maybe he didn't see him? I don't know. rolling out he is going to be looking left to right so it could make sense he saw the receiver overtop and brought him accross before he saw the man running upfield.
besides I have to be very PC when it comes to romo and the cowboys cause my man Xfactor is a huge cowboys fan and I'll have to answer for any straight up bullshit next time we talk football. he'll tell me I'm being out up lunch in no mincing of words so I gotta be 100% objective in my opinions. :D
Haha the irony of a Russell Wilson fan making this post
a lot of time when I re read something I've posted my tone comes accross a lot as acidic and confrontational. curt too. I'm an intense guy when I get talking abt something I'm passionate abt. it's not intentional. lol
Of course, that's what makes you a good poster!! 8)
Some of my favorite guys on here are the ones you can poke with a stick from time to time and have a bit of a spirited dialogue.
If you claim that Francisco is not natural (the guy I posted) you are dead wrong. :D
there's very few things that get guys riled up faster than talking sports cause there's huge loyalties involved, and claiming someone isn't natural :D like im abt to do in the 'natty or not' thread. go stir the pot for a bit see who I can get going.
I understand the game enough to know romo made a horrible decisions the ball in blanket coverage against Houston that dez Bryant bailed him out on to keep chains moving to win that game in Houston and he was careless w the ball against Seattle.
don't get me wrong. I have said repeatedly in this thread romo has the tools to be a top teir QB. he's a gunslinger like Favre. he plays to win. and I respect that.
but she. Dallas fanboys are praising romo for bad decisions w the ball that just so happened to work out for him but you can bet everyone one of them would be calling into sports radio today if Dallas was 3-3 crying about how romo is being typical romo and not protecting the ball had those two passes I mentioned not bailed him out and ended badly.
if your going to be a fan of your QB and he's a gunslinger then you gotta stand by him when he fucks up. I'll bet you any money I can find a thread here that talks about the DAL/DEN shootout last year where everyone is crucifying romo for being 'typical romo' and I'm the only one who defends him by saying the only reason DAL. was in a position to win that game was becuase of Romos play and they didn't lose the game because of it.
a lot of fair weather fans in this thread. you'd think this was abt the Leafs.
If you claim that Francisco is not natural (the guy I posted) you are dead wrong. :D
Cowboys reserve running back Joseph Randle was arrested on Monday for a Class B Misdemeanor Theft at a Dillard’s Department store in Frisco, Dallas’ CBS station reported.
He was arrested for shoplifting a “bottle of cologne,” according to Clarence Hill of the Star Telegram. The 22-year-old was arrested for a Class B Misdemeanor Theft of $50-500.
Randle was caught on video surveillance, Hill reported. He was transported to the Frisco city jail and was released after posting bond.
Randle, a fifth-round draft pick by the Cowboys in 2013, has 16 carries for 113 yards this season for the 5-1 Cowboys.
Romo still has the bulk of the season to mess everything up LOL. 5-1 is a respectable start, but my Cowboys are consistently good in messing up strong starts.
If they beat the Cardinals and Eagles I'll sip more of the Kool-Aid. Until then I simply wait for Romo to Romo......never fear....it's a comin.

x'2. Which makes the great play all on the receiver.
Watching it I thought the same thing....Whitten was the intended receiver.
Relax guys, The Patriots are going to win anyway.
i dunno i think they are the real deal. first time since what, 2007 they have looked this good. weird for me to say that about dallas. eagles are a very funny team to me. can either shit the bed or be crazily explosive week to week. tough team to bet for or against. a lot of football ahead for both teams before you gotta worry about the cards. the next 3 weeks for them will be tough as those NFC east teams always play each other hard, then you only have 5 days to get ready for ARI.
will be an interesting 3 weeks for dallas. in a way im rooting for them cause i think romos been shit on so much thru his career that he deserves a good run w a good oline and some time to make plays. plus their run game is very good right now which goes hand in hand w a good oline.
Like I've said, I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid just yet....let's just say I'm sipping it.
It is somewhat like that 13-3 season, but I've seen them waste away in November and December over and over again.
Philly looks real good right now.....they scare me cause we'll see them twice at the worst part of the season LOL.
^^^^^ This.
After losing Mayo and Ridley, their chances just got worse. defense looked weak against the Jets.
Belly-Chick wont pay for top guys, like's to hire cab drivers and tuba players for the team. Always below the cap with money to spend, and they don't do it.
Isn't Kraft jewish? He's thinkinf like one :D
If they beat Washington and Arizona (especially) I'm full in chuggin the Koolaid.
Tony Romo = 2nd overall in NFL Passer Rating
1. Aaron Rodgers - 120.1

Just watched the game this morning......great win.
The Philly games should be awesome!!

Romo is fucking horrible. Absolutely horrible.
Where are all the maggots? Lol... Tony Romo. The crickets in this thread are priceless.
Where are all the maggots? Lol... Tony Romo. The crickets in this thread are priceless.
Romo looking really solid in the first half.
17/21 for a 81% completion percentage plus a TD.
Basically playing to the same level that has kept him in the Top 3 in quarterback rating all season long.
Still a half to go though.
But tony romo still doesn't know jack shit about electricity.
He's no Marty Champions, this much we do know.
Answer this:
What powers a football stadium?
What powers the human heart?
What powers the machines that massage tony romos body after a tough game?
What powers the car/plane that gets him to the stadium to play the game?
Answer: Electricity.
Clearly, if he romo knew the intricacies of electricity, dallas would be 12-0
I think the O-Line deserves most of the credit that Romo and Demarco get.
When O line plays good romo doesn't get too much of the credit he deserves
When romo plays bad and it's the O lines fault romo still gets torn to pieces and is always at fault
When O line plays good romo doesn't get too much of the credit he deserves
When romo plays bad and it's the O lines fault romo still gets torn to pieces and is always at fault
Just replace "Romo" and "Murray" with "Aikman" and "Emmitt" from 20 years ago and you basically are just listening to the same argument with these people.Yeah but Aikman and Smith won 3 out of 4 superbowls.
Yeah but Aikman and Smith won 3 out of 4 superbowls.
There is no comparison right now.
3 out of 3 superbowlsNo they didnt. They won in the '92, '93, and '95 seasons.
No they didnt. They won in the '92, '93, and '95 seasons.
I thought you meant they went to 4 superbowls.
Yeah 3 out of 4 in that sense.
That's like saying that Baltimore has won 2 out of 50 superbowls. So it doesn't make sense or that San Diego is 0-50 in the SuperBowl.People do that when a team is lucky to win 2 out of 3, or 3 in 4 years etc...
That's like saying that Baltimore has won 2 out of 50 superbowls. So it doesn't make sense or that San Diego is 0-50 in the SuperBowl.
Have to say I'm pretty frickin happy right now. :)
That fast paced Eagles offense run can really screw over their own defense if they don't convert first downs.
Have to say I'm pretty frickin happy right now. :)Getting laid has that effect.
Romo is fucking horrible. Absolutely horrible.
dallas with the monster lucky pick
For the first tiime in a very long time the Dallas Cowboys may be going to the conference finals!
HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS?!!
League making it easier for Tony Homo
The NFC is full of flaws. GB loses to good teams with a pass rush , Seattle is too one dimensional in that you stop Lynch and control the ball they are spotty at best. Dallas has Homo QB and a defense that can break easily but have played beyond their expectations. I think the NFC is wide open. The AFC is a two team race per usual.
it's not looking good for Dallas right now....what the hell happened to the their O line today?, if they don't make adjustment in second half, they can kiss that Good season of theirs goodbye...Lions are playing Hungry
Alother fix job by the shield, just like the tuck rule game
That's why I stick to watching bodybuilding, where only the best competitors win, free of any political influences or other considerations.
That's one sport where it's always been on the "up and up" since day one.
Cowboys will lose by 17+ against packers next week
Cowboys come from behind to win!
Everyone will play up the "controversial" call LOL. Lets not forget that the refs gave the Lions a cakewalk in the first half in terms of penalties. Plus that call wasnt pivotal...it was one random play.
Lions were excellent first half and Suy played the entire game....remember the NFL allowed him to play after his appeal which they shouldnt have.....a controversial call favoring the Lions. Oh but nevermind that right?
Romo was terrible today and they scraped together a "W". That wont happen in GB. Cowboys must dominate like they did in December and then some to stand a chance. And if they pass that test they still have Seattle.
This whole Jerry is buying a Superbowl is nonsense. Why didnt he buy it during the last three 8-8 seasons? ;D Or the last 20 years?? ::)

Win or lose everyone hates the Cowboys LOL...that wont change.
Of course Detroit is outraged...their team lost! They'll pick apart the "picked up flag" from now until forever and hang the game on it. Way of the world. Theyll hate the Cowboys for it although they had nothing to do with it LOL.
No one criticizes the 3 blown ref calls in the first half that potentially cost the Cowboys points. ::) Despite the fact the Cowboys played like garbage in the first half like the Lions did overall in the second.
Suh cheated against GB and AGAIN hurt another player and was fined and suspended as he shouldve been and then had the decision reversed. Where's the outrage over that?

With all due respect, were you drunk or watching a different game? How could you say that wasn't a pivotal play? Lions were driving with the lead and that would have been a first down....AND Dallas scored the go ahead when they got the ball.
Referee Pete Morelli: Penalty not warranted
ARLINGTON, Texas -- As the Dallas Cowboys celebrated their 24-20 wild-card win Sunday, the Detroit Lions left with questions.
With 8:25 left in the game, Cowboys rookie linebacker Anthony Hitchens was initially flagged for pass interference while defending Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew on a third-and-1 pass from the Dallas 46.
Referee Pete Morelli announced the penalty, which would have given the Lions a first down, but moments later changed the call to no penalty. The Lions lined up on fourth down but their attempt to draw the Cowboys offside failed and they eventually punted.
The Cowboys scored the game-winning points on their next drive.
"The back judge threw his flag for defensive pass interference," Morelli said in a pool report. "We got other information from another official from a different angle that thought the contact was minimal and didn't warrant pass interference. He thought it was face guarding."
Face guarding is a penalty in college football, but not at the pro level. Back judge Lee Dyer threw the flag on Hitchens from the far side of the field. Head linesman Jerry Bergman offered the different -- and ultimately deciding -- view.
Morelli said he should have waited before making the initial announcement.
"The information came and then the officials got together a little bit later after it was given to me, the first information," Morelli said. "It probably would've been smoother if we got together."
You're better than this. Watch how it plays out. There were two things wrong: the call, and the fact that they picked up the flag with no explanation.
I don't care about either team, but fans of Detroit have a right to be livid.
I gotta disagree with "terrible"
A few off throws yeah but at the end of the day he played turnover free football, 111 QB rating in a playoff game where he was sacked 6 times.
I totally agree the officiating crew royally fucked up by the way they handled it but go back and really look at that play.
If anything it was probably more offensive pass interference than anything.
The Lions receiver clearly puts his hand on the defender's face mask and pushes off.
This guy points it out in this video.
Here's the angle everyone is ignoring....conveniently LOL.
Detroit's defensive star Suh should not have been on the field yesterday. He potentially cost the Cowboys 7-14 1st half points. Good on Suh though.....he did what he does best.
Lions fans received a late Christmas gift waaay before the Cowboys....AND YOU ALL FRICKIN KNOW IT.
Did that reversed penalty look like inteference? Yep. Hitchens didnt look back once.
Lions got a potential gift of 7-14 pts in Suh and Cowboys got a potential gift of 7 in a bad ref call....what we have is a wash.
You know how many years of unfair ref calls Ive watched against the Cowboys, Texans, Oilers and Spurs that potentially cost them "the game" LOL.
Fact is lions got neutralized in the 2nd half...that was their undoing. Had they played in the 2nd like they did in the first that call wouldve been an after thought cauer Detroit wouldve been up by 28.
This is not offensive PI.
(http://cbssports.com/images/blogs/Lions_Cowboys_Pass_Interference.jpg)
No, THAT isn't but then again that is just 2 still frames so of course it doesn't tell the full story.
Maybe the defender could have turned around to look at the ball if his face mask wasn't being pushed just before those 2 photos.
The jersey hold happened before anything. That was text book PI, or defensive holding if you want to believe what you said. Offensive PI is a complete stretch.
Plus, the other ref's explanation for overturning the call that you posted said the call was reversed since contact was "minimal". Not because there were multiple offenses from both sides.
For me it's so hard to see even with rewinding and look again ten times so I could just imagine what it would have for the refs in real time.
It just doesn't strike me as one of those "clear as day, one sided" calls that we have seen countless times over the years.
However, I do have to ask how Dez Bryant wasn't called for a penalty for standing out halfway onto the field with his helmet off arguing the call. :D
Someone needs to get that guy under control!
I watched the video you sent about 10 times. The contact by the receiver isn't clear to me....BUT what is clear is the defensive player did not turn around or make an attempt on the ball and did hold his jersey. The third gif on the link below shows it wasn't Pettigrew that prevented that:
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24935977/lions-cowboys-no-pi-call-pereira-disagrees-with-it-head-ref-explains-it
Is that clear enough for you?
(http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff481/photobucketlova1/passinterference.jpg)
I know there was contact, but not the extent of it - that could have easily brushed past...it happened after the hold anyway so it's moot.
As stated, let's see what the NFL says.
The facts are that the refs made a horrible call, then reversed it without explanation. PI calls are almost never overturned, especially when they're blantantly correct. Couple that with the fact that it was at a pivotal point in the game, and Dallas scored right after, and it's easy to see the issue.
It would be better if you just said "yes, we got a gift there" and moved on, rather than trying to justify it.
Folks are just PO'd cause "the Cowboys won" and everyone hates the Cowboys LOL.....it's trendy to hate the Cowboys.
It looked a little more than "easily brushed past" imo
http://vid1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff481/photobucketlova1/IMG_1193.mp4
Hey MOS... I hope those cheating cockroaches plane crashes on the way to Green Bay. Fuck Dallas, fuck the cheating refs, and fuck all of you cockroach fans.
Yes meltdown.
I did say the Cowboys got a gift LOL....black and white above. I fully agree with you that the call was terrible.
I want others to admit that the Lions also got a huge gift, but that's being glossed over as "last week's controversy".
Just like an offensive penalty often negates a simultaneous defensive penalty....so do the "gifts" wash one another.....that's all I'm saying.
Is either gift correct or appropriate....no!
I wonder why no one is outraged over Suh playing yesterday? Why no one is upset that the NFL overturned his suspension?
Here's why no one is upset Suh's suspension was overturned:
Pride Of The Lions: Suh's Impact
Ndamukong Suh is a big part of Detroit's stout defense.
Here's how the Lions' D compares when Suh is on the field or off it.
On Off
Yds per rush 2.84 4.12
Sack pct 7.4% 2.7%
Pressure pct 30.1% 19.8%
Total QBR 39.4 46.2
-- ESPN Stats & Information
So much chatter about the Cowboys cheating...that the refs favored them. Anyone see the first half and the missed Lions' penalties?
If people were genuinely concerned about "fair play" they'd be outraged that Suh played yesterday. They'd be upset that the Lions weren't in the penalty in the 1st half and should've been.
Folks are just PO'd cause "the Cowboys won" and everyone hates the Cowboys LOL.....it's trendy to hate the Cowboys.
So you don't think that was PI or at least defensive holding, and that the ref's call, and explanation, was correct?
I think the way the refs handled the situation was terrible and people have a right to be outraged on that issue.
But the actual play..."meh, it could of gone either way"
That same play occurs all the time and flags aren't thrown. I've seen way worse than that without flags being thrown.
No use going on about then. We'll just disagree. The holding of the shirt before anything else seals it for me.
Full disclosure, I had money on Dallas, so I was happy about the call at the time.
X2
Congrats on the new found cash!
They were giving 6 points..... :(
Plenty of people were outraged at Suh being allowed to play. Visit CBS sportsline or ESPN and read the comments.
I wasn't saying the cowboys cheated or were favored. I'm saying the refs made a terrible call, almost unprecedented the way it was reversed, and Dallas might now of won without it.
Oh I know that some analysts and board posters on NFL.com and other media sites had some outraged posters, but no one on this board is LOL.
I agree with you that it's bizarre to have a call reversed like that. I personally have never witnessed an incident like that I can recall nor could anyone I watched the game with....all Cowboys fans. :D
Although in the post game interview Jim Caldwell stated the following about the reversed call:
“It was not good enough,” he said. “I’m gonna leave it at that. I’m not gonna sit up here and act like that was the call that made the difference in the game. We still had our chances.”
He went on to say that they saw a reversal of a call earlier in the season against New Orleans. So it's definitely rare, but it does happen. Now did the officials "fumble" the explanation piece? Absolutely. Nobody knew what was going on.....it was not good execution at all.
All that said, did it cost the Lions the game? Detroit fans and Cowboy haters will of course say yes. The reality....no. Detroit's lack of any effective play in the 3rd and half of the 4th was of far more concern. Yes, Dallas got the ball back, but based on Dallas' play did that guarantee them 6? No way. Dallas was pretty garbage.....mediocre at best.....until the 4th. They struggled all day long to scrape together that win.
In Green Bay, they gotta be at the top of their game. Play like they had against the Lions and the Packers will beat em 40-7.
Why isn't detroit complaining about their D letting Dallas score on the drive afterwards?
Broke Back Mountain Cowboys ::)

Jason Garrett going for the 4th and 6..what in the world happened to the Jason Garrett that we have come to know on that call?? :D
We were all sittin there sayin, "What is happening?!" LOL!!
Sometimes I wonder if Dez is playing with a full deck.

Because that does not fit in with the conspiracy theory that Dallas brought the game.
Remember, conspiracy theorists only use data that support their theory, and discredits all evidence that disproves their theory.
Wasn't there some kind of court ruling that NFL is an entertainment business, not sporting?
Dude has passion, but this was flat out stupid.
The jersey hold happened before anything. That was text book PI, or defensive holding if you want to believe what you said. Offensive PI is a complete stretch.
Plus, the other ref's explanation for overturning the call that you posted said the call was reversed since contact was "minimal". Not because there were multiple offenses from both sides.
Blandino told PFT's Mike Florio (via Michael David Smith) that pass interference was a "close call that could have gone either way," but Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens definitely committed defensive holding against Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew.
"There is a jersey grab," Blandino said. "And when you see the jersey grab before the ball is thrown, that's defensive holding. So had the officials recognized that, we should have had a foul down for that infraction."
But what about Pettigrew making contact with Hitchens' facemask early in the route?
Blandino said there wasn't enough there to warrant a flag. "I felt there was minimal contact," he said.
VP of NFL Officiating weighs in
What was John Madden's famous quote on holding?
"You can pretty much call it on every play"
He was referring to the O line
He was referring to the O line
Wasn't there some kind of court ruling that NFL is an entertainment business, not sporting?
Replace Stafford with Romo in that situation with a couple time outs and just under 3 minutes on the clock and he's putting the ball in the end zone.
Stafford is a lazy fat fuck. Imagine what that offense with Calvin would do with a top notch QB.
Wasn't there some kind of court ruling that NFL is an entertainment business, not sporting?You are thinking of the ruling that gave the greenlight for gay marriage in the NFL.
Refs miss a million holds a game. fact jack

Refs missed blatant hold on Suh
The NFL admitted to the Detroit Lions on Tuesday that officials missed a blatant hold on Ndamukong Suh on a crucial fourth-down conversion from Tony Romo to Jason Witten with six minutes left in Sunday's wild-card game.
The conversion happened after the disputed Brandon Pettigrew play and before the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown.
Had holding been called, it would have put the Cowboys in a fourth-and-16 hole on Detroit's side of the field. Dallas likely would have punted and Detroit still would have had the lead.
NFL head of officials Dean Blandino said Monday that the non-call on pass interference against Pettigrew by Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens was debatable, but holding definitely should have been called on the later play.
Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford wore a microphone for Sunday's game, and the audio will air Tuesday night on "Inside the NFL" on Showtime.
"Can we explain that or no?" Stafford reportedly said after the officials picked up the penalty flag on the Pettigrew incompletion. "Just flat-out overturning a pass interference call?"
Stafford later could be heard yelling, "Hooome cookin!"
Do you realize how many penalties are probably missed in hockey, football, basketball, soccer, etc?
I don't know why people are harping over this. I am sure the detroit lions didnt have every penalty called against them.
the NFL office brought it up today, they were just admitting again that hey fucked up on the game
Yeah, but a lot of games are fucked up because of bad or missed calls. Why is this receiving so much more attention than any other game when this happens? I guess because it was a playoff game.
Playoff game / context of call within game / blatant error and handling. NFL had no choice but to comment.
I guess. At this point, nothing the lions could do about it. And its impossible to say whether or not they would have won if the calls were different.
I guess its some consolation that they addressed the issue.

The NFL really wanted DAL in the 2nd round against Green Bay. WAY more star power and excitement and rating$ than DET

There was also a hold on Hitchens (via facemask) that would've obstructed his ability to turn around and "play the ball". Now, as I understand it deliberate facemask holds are only penalties in college ball....not the NFL. Although in the NFL the face mask would simply be a "holding" penalty. So we see pass interference negated by a hold...penalty wash.
And the holding of the jersey happened before that.
So, if you believe the Dallas fan's justification of the PI due to a facemask, there were three infractions on the play. They don't cancel out.
But anyway, the VP of officiating says they were wrong. His opinion is the verdict here. It was a horrible call.
Also, deliberate facemasks are 15 yd personal fouls in the NFL, not a holding penalty. Incidental facemasks have been ruled out.
Was the holding of the jersey incidental or deliberate?
My Pats friends are nervous today.....I don't see the issue.
That's kinda been the talk with the National guys and the local guys here as well.
Out of the 4 dogs this weekend most are saying The Ravens have the best chance to pull off an upset.
My Pats friends are nervous today.....I don't see the issue.X2. Don't get they feeling myself, I'm up n CT. Ravens are a diff team, not as good as a couple years ago. And the Pats are a diff team, defense is worlds better. Feeling good about the Pats chances as long as they aren't playing the Giants. ;D
I get it due to the history and the pass rush, and Flacco is better than he gets credit for. I don't know though - I can see this maybe being a game, but a Pats landslide wouldn't surprise me either.
Might just bet a prop - Gronk over 80 yds receiving.....
Those 3 factors certainly make sense and rightfully so, if they can get to Brady and Flacco doesn't turn the ball over it could get very interesting.Brady's a beast in the cold, I don't think it's gonna be close. JMO
After seeing the Ravens play Pittsburg I'm leaning more towards this being a winnable game for the Ravens versus a landslide because I think Flacco is going to show up.
great game so far. RAVENS were my super bowl sleeper since before the playoffs began. I still think Brady is very capable of putting 14 points on the board in 5 minutes with Gronk on board... but the refs are NOT handing him the game like he'd usually get.
You just kno DEN is cheering for the ravens right now.

Ravens were 17 to 1 to win The Superbowl before this game.
they've been given every opportunity, including a nice 14 point margin twice. if they don't have the balls to hold a lead, they won't deserve the win.
Sure enough, gronk looked unstoppable on that drive. I hate the Pats, they can be down 30 and you can't count them out.

Great game so far!X2!! I was way off, Raven's brought it. Flacco continues to impress when it's a big time stage and that's what the greats do

Yeah he played pretty solid but he kinda forced that last throw.Agree, I'm impressed how good of a QB he's turned out to be. When was he drafted? Jus a tier below Brady/Rogers. Not sure u put Manning there will his body deteriorating fast, as great as he was. Pats D was eh. Rock solid all yr but I'm sure they adapt and get better next week jus like how they ramp up as season goes on. Biggest diff is they can defend the pass now. Reavis is as advertised, the best in the game. Sherman on the Hawks is phenomenal but Reavjs is better
He had a really good opportunity to win the game at the end against a less than impressive Patriots defense.

Crazy to think Manning has been playing for almost 20 years in the league!Makes you feel old as fuck when you remember these guys in college then pros and then retiring after 20yrs! AH, fuck you aging! I don't kno much about Peyton playing next yr but something related to his previous injury, the big one, took all his arm strength. Dude had a fucking bazooka his career that's trending towards a .22 rifle. Meanwhile Brady is on some fountain of youth shit saying he's playing till 45. For real he alluded to it
I guess he'll limp across the finish line and pass up Favre on the all time next season.
I hear talks of people saying he's gonna retire but he has stated he intends to return.
I hate the Pats...
Was the holding of the jersey incidental or deliberate?
Oh and thanks for the clarification on the face mask piece.

SEA and NE are the teams with the most busts for adderall use. And they're the top teams in football, on a crash course for the super bowl.

Very clearly gives them a advantage in focus, quicker decision making, etc. I've seen my nephews take a 30 point IQ swing on tests when given the medicine. I can imagine the impact on world-class athletes is amazing. Sure, they're edgy and irritable. Tom Brady screaming at a ref yesterday or Richard Sherman shrieking on national TV last year like a jackass, but that's a common side effect.
Damn that's some good stuff! :o
2 of them were failing their grade. They went to doc, and doc made them take it. and they both tested at top oe grade level. Went from 90s to 125s on the IQ test, and from failing school to straight Q's easily. They're already bright kids, but with fetal alcohol syndrome and the foster home kid thing, they were a mess. Adderall fixed them fast. I've seen others abuse it and turn into total pricks. But if used correctly, it can give a huge advantage. And it's why the best teams have the most busts for it.
That Seahawks cornerback richard jefferson, he lied and said his teammate put it in his bottle, then he said the whole NFL uses it. and I can see why. Huge boost in performance. No doubt Brady has it, no doubt most of the top guys - particularly those who go from calm to fucking crazy angry lately, are using it. Shermann shrieks like a fool, I cannot imagine his dosage lol.

Supposedly he has only practiced one time over the past 2 weeks and that was on Thursday.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens when he has a chance to scramble.
Assuming it's completely compressed and shot full of substances we haven't even heard of. I think he'll be fine.Me, too. I think he'll be good to go. Dallas: just too sluggish. Jones and Christie, a la Kinky Friedman. ;D

Bro you have come off as a fucking psychopath the whole time in this thread.
Romo played great. It was a competitive game that could have gone either way.
The Murray fumble and the call that went against Dez really hurt the Cowboys in the end.
In the spirit of this thread I'll update Romo stats when I get a chance but for now it's all about putting down a couple Coronas and watching the Colts/Broncos matchup.

Yeah, at the end of the day, its just a football game. Who really cares. I sometimes watch the playoff games for the thrill of it, but I am not big into sports anyway. Really makes no difference to me who wins or loses.

Peyton should just retire and call it a career......he will be known as the Great regular season quarterback with Tons of records and who always choke in Big playoffs games....the ravens killed them 3yrs ago, seahawks embarrassed them in the SB last year and then this........Thank you for all the Memories, Peyton......Tom Brady will be at the Podium holding his 4th SB trophy while you'll be home contemplating.....it's been fun. Adios
Not if Luck has anything to say about it

Let's say they do make it and seattle is there too..... Seattles defense is too much for old man brady , he will get frustrated and start throwing temper tandrums and in the end will lose his 3rd SB
Romo looked pretty good.
For years he has been terrible. Terrible.
Today he looked pretty damn good.

Never saw that angle. Looks like a catch to me. Dropped while diving for the goal line.
It's definitely a close call.
I don't know if they had "irrefutable" evidence on this one.
I lost $220 on that play because we had bet the over. Pissed that I saw it.
My buddy who was watching it was on the phone with me and said the exact same thing while it was in discussion - he didn't think it was irrefutable either.
One question - why didn't Dallas do a quick sneak to avoid the challenge?
That's exactly what I was thinking as I seen that unfold live.
"Dallas needs to get down there quick and snap the ball because this could go against them"
Some guys on the radio today were saying the time crew took almost 30 seconds off the clock with that play but I don't know if that's true or not.
They got screwed on that call. But if you're saying the same thing as my friend, Dallas could've helped themselves with a quick snap.
Damn. Big swing.
Never saw that angle. Looks like a catch to me. Dropped while diving for the goal line -fumble caused by the ground.
If dallas was going for it, the should have run the god damn ball...
Brings the ball in with his right hand, switches it to the left.
1,2,3 steps
Then extends arm for the goal line.

Regardless. Bryant raped that DB for sure. Guy can jump. People want to say Romo is doing better but really that ball was thrown to no one and was a bad pass but Bryant was able to jump higher than fuck to grab it.
IF he hasn't fumbled it, and he had crossed the goal line, it would have been maybe the #1 greatest TD in Cowboys history.
Cowherd said the first time Cris Carter caught a pass one-handed, the ref called it out, because he'd never seen someone at that talent/caliber do it one-handed. And that odell beckhamm will get screwed at some point because he's too talented.
I hate DAL, I think Dez is a mom-beating punk... but I also think he had clear posessions, was obviously controlling that pass with 1 hand, and was lunging. They got screwed, but the NFL was looking to screw them back for last week, so I get it.
Haha. I love it. Fuck the Cowboys.
After watching that gif, not sure how the refs call that a fumble. The guy has catcher's mitts for hands and had that ball under control. It wasn't bobbled or anything. legit catch and he did take 3 steps before lunging. Very odd call by the refs on that. I've seen numerous catches were the guy barely takes two steps and the ball pops out and they call it a fumble. I guess the NFL wants GB in the superbowl instead of Dallas.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B7Gy236CcAIgvje.jpg:large)
It should have been even better... This tard went on the field AGAIN with no helmet on and got no flag. 2 games in a row. Suspend his ugly ass.
Haha. I love it. Fuck the Cowboys.
Mutually parting ways.....meaning that if Fox didn't resign, the Broncos would fire him.
Peyton must be retiring.
Relax it's not that serious "thick Nick" :D
Its a shit rule. The ball never touch the ground, how is that not a catch?
Calvin Johnson actually put the ball on the ground, and it squirted away.
The ball moved during Dez's process, but it still remained in his hands all of the way.
The bare bones definition of a catch.
He still had the ball in his hands at the end. I could bobble the fucking ball a hundred times, do a fucking back flip, and finally catch the ball on my back. It shouldn't matter if he "re caught it" the ball never touched the ground.
no it did not , he lost the ball and caught it again in mid air

What about the fact that he CAUGHT the ball, took 3 STEPS and made a move to extend the ball over the goal line and the ground causing the fumble?
Am I crazy that it's a catch and the ground causing a fumble??
3 STEPS after catching the ball. What am I missing?

That call will curse the Cowboys and the fans for years to come.
Again great season for the Cowboys.
Even if Dez's catch wasnt called incomplete they still wouldve needed to score and the Packers still would've had another 2 minutes to drive and score and win.
No one ever saw them coming......no one.
Romo has a few seasons left in him. Sean Lee will return to the defense....great weapon people have forgotten.
If they keep Dez and Murray Cowboys haters should be highly annoyed and worried....that will be highly enjoyable to watch everyone else's beloved teams get repeatedly beat again and again.
I'm very patient and look forward to it :).
I'm hoping the Giants have a year of learning the new offense, get Cruz back to compliment Beckham, shore up the lines and prevent the above.

Why do people hate Cowboys fans so much? They seem a decent group as far as sports fans go. Much more sufferable than fucking Pats fans.
Is it the whole "America's Team" thing?
There really is no reason. People like to jump on the bandwagon.
Much more sufferable than fucking Pats fans.
100% accurate. Boston sports fans, on the whole, are horrendous*
* this is based on the macro level, and does NOT include noteworthy fans body88 & mass04
Yes I'm referring to the average Boston fan of course. There's an exception here and there who is reasonable/sensible/knowledgeable but the average fan of Boston's teams is a giant girl in my experience who would list Pedro and Nomar if you asked them to name two current members of the Red Sox other than "Big Papi". Only fanbase I've ever encountered who literally think less of you as a human being if you don't cheer for their team.
That call will curse the Cowboys and the fans for years to come.

It will happen before the season. His plan has always been to get AP. No way McFaden is the Cowboys answer. but if they get AP. You can probably guarantee a SuperBowl trip, but then again they still have perennial fuckup Tony Romo.
^^^^^
Newsflash. A Vintage Romo is NOT what you want. Vintage Romo is a fucking train wreck. You want non vintage Romo to succeed.
Wow NFC east MVP. Over Eli Manning, RGIII and Mark Sanchez/Tim Tebow? Quite the fucking accomplishment indeed.
I'm just gonna say it now: Cowboys '15-'16 season.....13-3.

Coughlin gave that game away.
Not running it on that 3rd down was just stupid.
The Giants mismanaged that last drive for sure, but it was pure luck that they had a lead to begin with.If the Cowboys struggle with the Giants still might be a long year.
They were clearly the inferior team.
If the Cowboys struggle with the Giants still might be a long year.
If the Cowboys struggle with the Giants still might be a long year.You aren't understanding my point. The Giants got 17 points off of turnovers, with 14 of those points coming off of fluke returns by the defense. Rarely does a fumble bounce right into a db's hands so he can run it 60 yds for a td. Rarely does a tipped pass go into a db's hands so he can run it 30-40 yds down to the 1. Turnovers happen, those types of turnovers.....not so much.
Redeemed himself in an overall crappy game
I agree with all of this....until the 4th qtr.
If the Cowboys struggle with the Giants still might be a long year.
Romo is the winningest qb in the 4th quarter in the league since 2006, with 28 comeback wins

With romo as as qb, cowboys lucky if they win 9 games this seasonAnd what better option would you suggest? He won 12 games with them last year.

I'll be the first to admit that he has not won anything, but his stats put him as a top tier (not elite) quarterback.
Many lesser qb's in history have won rings.
look for romo to land in denverRomo will never play backup anywhere else , he will try hard this year, and then retired next.
