Romo will rebound according to The Herd

by Helene on Dec 10, 2008 5:02 PM CST

For once, I listened to a fair radio piece about Romo, and from an ESPN radio. If you have a couple of minutes, listen to the Thundering herd podcast from Monday 12/08 . Colin Cowherd is expressing his Monday thoughts about the Cowboys and Romo following the loss and in my opinion, it's worth listening to it.

Especially after sunday's game. For all the people who got tired or mad about Tony, this piece may "ease their pain" to use a famous movie's quote.

If you do, let me know what you think.

thanks

I make it a point

To never, ever even conceive of lending an ear, eye, or finger to the corpulent, disgusting ESPN monster. As objective as they may have in fact been for once, I’ll not allow myself to give this my time.

like I said on another post

I respect your opinion of course. But that may be a way for you to see that not 100% of ESPN is “rotten”. I don’t have much choice in podcast I can get from here, even through the internet and Itunes. So yes I listen to Cowherd and frankly, in my opinion, he makes some good shows.

Colin is great.

By far the best thing on ESPN.

Couldn't agree more...

His is the only ESPN Radio Show I’ll listen to…

He’s not the irrational, overzealous, “the world is falling” type like most everything else on ESPN… He’s the most objective thing they’ve got going…

he said bascially what we've been preaching

Romo is an elite qb and every elite qb in the history of the league has had really bad games every once in a while.

Romo always bounces back from stinkers and will play well against the GMen.

Gotta take the bad with the good because the good is really good…what makes him great and special is the same thing that breaks your heart sometimes.

Its like I said, its like dating a super hot girlfriend with a few warts.

Exactly

I love it. Herd gets it.

Guy throws 6 300 yd games and has a bad one and now he can’t win the big one? I love it, I know Romo will bounce back.

The problem with Romo

Is that this “bad game” excuse seems to pop up all too often and at the worst possible times. I don’t care if he throws 10 300 yard games if he/the offense throws up 4-5-6 turnovers in what amounts to a playoff game.

Trying to seal a playoff position? Darn, Romo had a bad game.
Trying to win a playoff game? Ooops, I guess he had a bad game.
Trying to win a playoff game? Shoot, it happened again, poor guy, I bet he feels awful.
etc. etc. etc.

Great Ones don’t have bad games in big games. They have super games. Better yet, even when they don’t do their best, they still find a way to win. That is exactly the opposite of what this team/Romo exhibits. When this team has a chance/excuse to lose, they reach out and grab it with both hands. Fact of the matter is, Romo hasn’t won the big anything. He’s had opportunities, but failed every time. Until he does win something big, then yes, right now, it’s true: “Romo can’t win the big one.”

not true

Romo has won plenty of big games throughout his career.

In his first ever game starting against the panthers in 2006, we needed to win a big game early in the season and he delivered big time.

Last season he came up big in several big game, both Giants games, at Chicago, at Philly, and the GB game which was essentially for the #1 seed in the NFC, the game against the Skins this season when we were 5-4, none of which were any less important or big as the Steelers game.

To say he hasn’t won any big games is simply not true at all.

BTW, he didn’t have bad games in the playoff loses, the reason we lost sure as hell wasn’t Romo’s fault.

well at least

give it a try. Don’t we have to keep an open mind in life ? I don’t always agree with Cowherd, but I find his chronicle this time full of good sense? Probably with a lot more good sense than most of our post reflected after the game.
