Devestation

Is what I feel today...

What is really a shame about this whole situation is that Romo is going to get a lot of the blame for the disappointing loss. Romo played a decent game. Unfortunately we needed a great game out of Romo to make up for the mistakes made elsewhere on the field. The one stat that I feel was most important about this game...penalties. Cowboys 11 for 84 yards. Giants 3 for 25 yards. This stat doesn't really reflect the fact that so many of our penalties came on key plays that no doubt would have changed the flow of the game. On the plays that mattered most we made stupid mistakes that cost us the game. I know it tears each one of us up to do it but we can do nothing but give the Giants credit for winning the game against us that mattered most. The "STARS" in Dallas sports need to start realizing that while we all appreciate the enjoyment they give us during the regular season, its the post season that matters!!!

regular season penalties

The Cowboys had a lot of regular season penalties, also. You see what I mean about lack of character, WR? How it just follows you from game to game until finally your team collapses in on itself. Did you really expect "greatness" from Romo after everything? He's an undrafted QB from Illinois, you think Jessica Simpson isn't going to distract him? I hear you guys blaming a lot of things, but this loss was Romo's fault. Pure and simple.
I know it sucks your team lost and for that I feel bad. The Packers aren't far removed from 4-12 so I know what its like to have a team fail to meet expectations. I was thinking how crappy it would be to have the Packers out of the playoffs, and I speak for more than one GB fan when I say I'm glad we don't have to face Dallas again this year. Next year, its on!

you couldn't be more wrong

Romo is a great QB and proved that this season. There were no distractions for him at all, only teammates who failed him, thats all. He was dating Jessica when he lit up your Packers a few months ago.

I don't know what being undrafted has anything to do with anything. Brady was a 6th rounder which is practically a FA and he's the best game has to offer.

In Romo we Trust

Brady

never did anything ridiculous like take a trip out of the country with a supermodel during the playoffs. He also doesn't point fingers at his o-line during the game and scream things like "didn't you see him??"

Being undrafted is something. It means you weren't first tier talent. Now what you develop into under coaching and study, thats a different story. Tom Brady says that he sucked, and thats why he wasn't taken higher. Romo wasn't good either, until after years of learning the game and studying under good QBs he finally got it and came into his own. He still has a lot of maturing to do before I can give him much credit. Without TO, Romo seems very ordinary. Maybe thats because the rest of the team sucks, but I mean c'mon Terry, if the measure of a QB is playoffs and Super Bowls then the writing is on the wall. Romo is not to be trusted, as your sig suggests.
