NFL Week 5: When playoff baseball just doesn't do it for you

[Valmy]

Romo is getting crucified for that last pick because Cowboys fans are fucking retarded.  506 passing yards and 5TDs?  And they lost?  Yeah, it wasn't that one INT, morons.

Um yeah ok that is what Romo always does.  He look brilliant and puts up HoF numbers and then losses.  Granted he usually does not do it to this extreme, that Broncos game was his masterpiece.

I'm not a fan of Romo, but he did pretty well considering the Broncos never punted and put up 51 points.  I think the Cowboys had bigger problems on defense.

If you think that L is on Romo, you're no better than a typical Cowboys fan. 

E: And no, that's not what Romo always does.  Romo doesn't always throw for 500+ yards and 5 touchdowns.

25/36 for 506 5TD and 1INT  Yep definitely that guy's fault they lost.  I'm no fan of Romo and the Cowboys, but that dude was fuckin slingin it on Sunday.  Romo didn't give up 51 points, and I'm really tired of hearing idiot Cowboys fans complain about it.  Schaub is out there handing the other guys free TDs in every game, and they're complaining about a dude who put 35 on the board for his own team.

Romo has had more than enough justification for the "fail" tag at times, but that loss was not his.  Given a defense that did ANYTHING, he does not need the stats he had to even be tied with 2 minutes left.

500 yards speaks for itself.  Y.A. Tittle would agree.

[CountDeMoney]

Can't really pin this one on Romo.  Did all he could to win the game.  Can't do it all by himself.

[Admiral Yi]

That's nuts that the Broncos didn't punt once.

[Valmy]

Can't really pin this one on Romo.  Did all he could to win the game.  Can't do it all by himself.

I never pinned it on Romo.  I said this is what he does.  He had the ball with two minutes to go and a chance to win and EVERYBODY in that stadium knew that INT was coming.  It was hilarious how fatalistic the Cowboy fans were, he really has them well trained.

So yeah you could get into how many yards were thrown, how many TDs were scored, how horrible the defense played blah blah.  But that shit has never ever mattered even a little bit.  Romo, and the Cowboys, always find ways to lose and that makes me happy.

[PDH]

I don't think you hate the Broncos enough.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Cowboys fans are stupid and deserve Quincy Carter instead of Romo.

Romo has 19 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime, tied for fifth-most since he took over the starting job in 2006.  <QBR bullshit>

This season, Romo is second in the NFL with 13 touchdown passes. And only Peyton Manning has fewer interceptions among quarterbacks with at least 30 pass attempts per.

Most INT in 4th Quarter or OT
Score Tied or Leading by 7 or Fewer
Tony Romo   8
Tom Brady   7
Matt Ryan   7
Matt Schaub   6
Chad Henne   6
*Since Tony Romo's 1st Season (2006)

So before the OMG HE COULD HAVE WON THE GAME (he couldn't because the D would have immediately given up a TD anyway) he was tied with Tom Brady and Matt Ryan of all people.  Wouldn't want either one of them on my team no sir.


lol Falcons.  Come all the way back, then give up the FG to lose it in the end.

Ok whatever.  Seriously when Romo had the ball back at the end did anybody not see that INT coming?  I knew it, heck the whole freaking stadium knew it and Romo did not disappoint.

And yes it is exactly what Romo always does.  He puts up Hall of Fame numbers and finds ways to lose.  I would certainly qualify the sort of game he had yesterday as a Hall of Fame type performance.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yep, that's what he does.  Except for the 19 game winning drives?

The problem with guys like Carter is they are not long for the league.  Romo is a long term curse.

Of course it is less fun now that Jerry has mostly dismantled the great team Parcells put together.  I mean with that terrible defense they have now anybody could lose.

[Valmy]

Yep, that's what he does.  Except for the 19 game winning drives?

Hey I love Romo I hope he stays in Dallas for many years to come.  His stats certainly suggest he is a Hall of Fame player.

[MadBurgerMaker]

You're not really reading what you're typing.  If a QB is putting up "hall of fame" numbers and his team is losing, there is something wrong with the team.  The QB should not be having to bring the team back or run the two minute drill throwing the ball all over the field after his offense puts up "hall of fame" numbers on the scoreboard.  They should be running the clock out and taking knees.
