Dallas won a game they were supposed to win. Doesn't matter how you win just do it. Should have won against new york and Denver. One play was the difference in this game. The same as the games against the two losses Dallas has. We could easily be 5-0 or 2-3.

He's not out of the woods yet. Anyone can have a great game against T.B. and K.C. .
Atl, Phi (2), GB, Was (they look as bad as the Cowboys), NY, and NO are still coming up. They have a gimme against Oak, but the rest are going to be tests. I'm hoping for the best with the Cowboys, but I see some tough games for them. I'm not going to say they're going to be all right, until they prove it.

Look at the other side of that argument. The combined record of the teams the Cowboys have lost to is 10-0. Just shows that the Cowboys at this time are not an elite team but they are also not a horrible team.

I just noticed that Dallas has more successful passing plays over 40 yards than any other team in NFL. Interesting because Dallas does not have an offense geared to the deep ball. It goes to show "I think" that with more of an emphasis on running the defense is losing the battle on the run after catch. Which I believe would be due to loading up more to stop the run.

Romo did play better. With the bye week coming and the possibility of getting Felix Jones back, the Cowboys should be in good shape for the next game. Tashard Choice is the real deal and has been impressive on a regular basis.

I agree with late stops, but Dallas defense has been very good last three weeks overall. Romo is a problem, Jason Garrett is a bigger problem, injuries are an even bigger problem, Jerry Jones is the biggest problem.

Romo is far from terrible. He's in the middle of the pack in the NFL with the potential to move way up. Maybe faster if they get rid of Garrett, who is trying his best to turn the Cowboys offense into the Giants offense. That might sound good to some, but it's not.

Romo COULD be a great quarterback. He has the arm, he has the aim, and he has the athleticism. He's talented as hell. The problem with Romo is not something that can be fixed on the field. It is his choices. They have gotten worse. He was a better QB 2 years ago than he is today. That is a pure indication of something going on upstairs. He needs to get his head right, change his diet, or get off of whatever he's on, maybe all of those.. It is mental. He's choking, making bad picks, etc. His head is not where it should be in the game. Sometimes, that is a fatal flaw in a quarterback. Sometimes it can be fixed. I applaud Jones and Phillips for keeping him around and trying to work that out of him. In the mean time, put someone in there with his head on straight.

Looks like your stuck with Tony

. The media attention goes with being QB on the most popular team in the world. I sure Romo did not expect the amount of attention he has received either. Most people will never understand the amount of pressure that is on. And it has nothing to do with just competing.
I would never have guessed you didn't like Romo. You feel inspired to let us know in more than one post. Contrary to your beliefs.. Tony has proven he is very good.

That is not proven. Because he has played well and won in several big game situations. Did you even watch Seattle and new york games? Tony drove the ball 76 yards in 3 min. to help put Dallas in the position to win. A mishandle on a very slippery ball was not a common occurance for Tony. He has always handled the snaps well. One play does not mean he choked. The new york game the next year. Dallas had already beaten them twice that year. Tony played like an average QB and Dallas controlled the ball most of the game. Tony had one int for the game. Hardly choking. Dallas had another high penalty game. Hardly Romo choking.
Sometimes defenses just step up and play better than a QB for a game. It happens all the time and is no indication of choking.

The actual facts don't support this. His bad decision % isn't terrible this year...it was actually higher during the 2007 season (still plenty of time left in this season, so it's in flux).
He also averages less turnovers-per-game than Ben Roethlisberger, who has won two Super Bowls. If there are quarterbacks getting to the SB that average more mistakes per game, this can't be a reasonable conclusion has to why the Cowboys can't get there.
But I doubt anyone will look at their pass defense. No, that can't be the reason.

These numbers only matter because they are the ONLY ones that they can use in an argument. Dallas can win Super-Bowls with Romo and these guys would just say "well Dallas didn't play anyone in the playoffs or Super Bowl so it don't count". Or that it had nothing to do with Romo.

So you know for a fact he'll do neither anytime in his career, whether it's with Dallas or not? What is your method of extrapolation?
