His O-line is swiss cheese.
Romo has already been offered a new job at a Dallas funeral home as a pallbearer. That way he has the opportunity to let everyone down one more time.
What are you talking about. Aren’t they blaming Jessica Simpson for the loss????? (lingering after effects)
They are America’s team-just look at the crime statistics
What Dallas needs is a quarterback that can put the team on his back, and win with a one dimensional passing game.
The two or three quarterbacks who can do that are spoken for.
So, they are left with Romo. Dallas didn’t lose because of Romo...Romo was just not able to drag the team over the line. Too much was asked of him.
He’s an above average quarterback...not great, but above average. And he is playing on a team that barely broke 100 yards rushing, and bizzarely did not change the game plan when faced with constant blitzes.
I know the danger of saying ‘he can’t win the big ones’. We used to say that about Marty Schottenheimer in Kansas City...but it turns out the team has been absolutely pitifully lousy without him. So be careful what you wish for, Dallas fans.
Don’t get rid of Romo, unless you have a replacement lined up, who is better than him.
Absolutely nothing will change for the better at the Dallas Cowboys organization until Jerry Jones is no longer the owner/coach/general manager.
And next season the ESPN experts will pick Dallas again to win the SB.
Both teams aren't going to win with who they got now so WTH, plus maybe a change of scenery would help both get over the hump
It's called Brett Favre Syndrome. Romo threw too many picks to expect to win.
As a Cowboy fan, last night was heartbreaking, but it's still amazing that they were only one game away from Division Champs.
This is a coaching problem, not a quarterback problem.
At least I can take solace in the fact that the Giants were knocked out of the playoffs too. Maybe this year we can actually have a GOOD team win the Super Bowl, instead of watching a mediocre team get lucky.
A new GM would be nice.
As a die hard Cowboys fan, I somewhat agree. He never has had a great running game to support him though. Do many teams have a great running game anymore?
I was just going to write something about another Monday after the big game, another Dallas fan whining about Tony Romo. Then I realized the person doing the “whining” was Gil Brandt, the former VP of Player Personnel for the Cowboys.
If he thinks it’s time for Romo to go, it must be time. But I also think it’s time for Jerry Jones to go with him.
Every year there are new rules changes favoring the air game. Every year, there are new rules affording protections to quarterbacks and wide receivers that neither defenders nor running backs and O-linemen enjoy. Every play, in play after play, pass receivers get away with push-offs, holds, and blatant pass-interference. On every passing down at least one, and usually several offensive linemen are flagrantly holding, and only the most egregious outrages are flagged. Quarterbacks are allowed to pretend that a player 15 yards from where a deliberately grounded ball lands is "in the area," or that by scooting -- usually in the grasp of a defender -- outside of a box five yards wide they aren't obviously grounding the ball.
This sissified version of "football" is what the NFL believes that fans want to see.
The result is: you don't have a premiere quarterback, you don't have a prayer. There are lots of Tony Romo's in the NFL. In previous decades, some of their teams would be heading to the playoffs.
Look, an NFL QB thread. Let’s see if there is some way we can work Tim Tebow into the conversation.
If mini RG3 played Dallas all by himself how many touchdowns would he win by?
Yikes....Romo is going to be 33 next season. For some reason I thought he was younger. Time is running out.
Romo still thinks football only has 3 quarters and doesn’t understand why they have to be on the field for an additional 15 minutes!
I think the Cowboys will wait until Matt Stafford’s contract in Detroit is up and they go after him.
Stafford is the perfect QB for the Cowboys...he’s a hometown boy, and despite the Lions lousy season, he shows he can be a great quarterback in this league.
The best season the Cowboys ever had was 1989, they went 1-15.
The Cowboys actually lost because someone put their hand on Griffin’s helmet. They might’ve lost anyway, but that was the nail in the coffin. I find it somehow profoundly sad.
Crumble, crumble, little cookies. I haven’t been a Cowboys fan since Jones treated Coach Landry like a water boy.
