not as much as FOX is loving
that they got the more “important” one in Green Bay
After Fuentes blows a save and an Angels loss to the Indians:
"Angels still in first place" - UCI Halo
"Hey you know who would have gotten those 3 outs in the 9th?
Darren O’Day." - FirebatM3
LOL
sure..keep telling yourself that.....
Romo can’t do what Favre is doing right now…I would trade Romo for a 40 yr old Favre in a hearbeat right now..
Did anyone hear Young earlier on Sportscenter
where he said he thought Romo played pretty well, he just didn’t have anyone to throw to. Did he miss all those open WRs that Romo couldn’t connect with? Idiot.
Steve Young is an idiot.
Watching him next to Matt Millen makes me want to jump off a high building.
Beware D-Ware
Dang
I have Aaron Rodgers in my FF league…I am up by 14 going in to this game and my opponent has Chester Tayler, Brett Favre, and Jared Allen. That one play was a 7 point swing against me.
Why the hell do they challenge that?
Beware D-Ware
Either of these teams would kill us.
Have good, get give.

Nah.
We always play the Pack like we’re the greatest team ever.

and on that last pass, Favre put enough on it that it bounced 10 feet off that defender’s shoes rather than up into his hands
Romo will come around...
have to keep the faith. It is the only way I will maintain my sanity. Of course, one could argue I am already insane for keeping the faith in Romo.
Beware D-Ware
Rodgers threw a horrible INT
lets go on the packers blog and see if they want him benched and say he sucks.
In Romo we Trust
I don't think after 1 INT.
He throws one of the best balls I’ve seen among active QBs.
Aaron Rodger's
arm is really impressive. He sure looks the part of an NFL QB.
thats true terry
But after no playoff wins in over a decade its expected…Fans are frustrated and rightly so.
Sidney Rice, Harvin, Dwane Bowe I was always hoping we draft one of them, but no we stick with potential
Stanback, Austin, Hurd…..at least we cut Amendola, who is a way better in returning punts than Crayton
as much as I hate #4 gotta give credit to him, he milked the vikings
out of training camp and $10 mil, he hands the ball to AP till the 10 yard line and than he pitches TDs, priceless, ingenious.
His son is coaching somewhere as an OC. Can't remember...

Colts are playing some damn good football.
Don’t count out New Orleans though in the NFC….they look pretty good as well.
Beware D-Ware
way too early but if i had to make a pick i say
cotls saints…
My hatred for Favre
led me to pick the Pack even though Vikes have the better team. I’ll probably regret this!
I'll prolly lose fantasy this week cuz of Romo
If we weren’t playing KC I would seriously consider benching him for Stafford…
I was kicking major a$$ in my money leagues until...
Romo and Brees hit the fields. Both those guys flopped the last two weeks for me.

Ummmm
most people think Brees is one of the top 3 QBs in the league.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Oct 5, 2009 9:26 PM CDT up reply actions
He is one of the best short QBs in the past 20 years
but he’ll have his craptastic games just like Romo. Which is why people are always asking why he is so underrated.
Brett Favre is like 6 foot 2 too.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Oct 5, 2009 9:32 PM CDT up reply actions
Elway was only 6 foot 3
And Steve Young was 6 foot 2…
I just think that’s a very very very overrated number.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Oct 5, 2009 9:33 PM CDT up reply actions
the proof Romo is 6-2
is that he is taller than Tiger Woods who is 6-1, check out the pictures on BTB Facebook.
In Romo we Trust
Brett Favre has also had a very up and down career
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?playerId=112 But he also has a cannon for an arm so that helps him a lot. He can make throws that Romo could never make.
Plus I don’t think Romo is actually 6’2. Romo has always looked shorter to me.
Short WRs=good.
So, Dallas is just ass backwards.

This is crasy...
…on my fantasy football team, I’ve got….
1) Favre (MIN)
2) Defense (GB)
3) Jennings (GB)
and my opponent has….
1) Ryan (GB)
2) Defense (MIN)
I can hardly tell what I’m supposed to be pulling for……LOL
You want favre to throw a TD to Jennings then have the GB defense to recover a fumble for a TD on the ensuing KO.
Then, you’d be golden—even moreso if Grant happens to be the guy who fumbles.

You definitely see intensity
in this game that was missing yesterday
c'mon
give me a break. This is like if Joe Theismann replaced Danny White on MNF. Naturally there way more intensity in this game.
Even if the coach is all "rah rah rah"....
….if the players don’t execute…..there’s no advantage to it
I'm really,
really down on Romo. Romo’s soft as puddin’. He completely lacks the grit that Favre has shown tonight.
I think he thinks he’s lucky to be in the NFL, and is just happy he is QB of the Cowboys, and because he has come this far, he thinks his work is done… and if he fails, aw hell, at least he gave it a great shot and was the Cowboys’ QB at one point in his life.
At his heart he can’t believe how far he’s come, so he has some deep seated doubts in his abilities, and because of that, he hears the boos and criticisms and they affect him deeply. So he is now totally doubting himself and his worth to be the QB/leader and his ability to be a winner.
BUT, I’m hoping he’s watching Favre tonight. I think it could spark something in him. Romo has the ability. I just think he’s riddled with doubt. I do’nt think he’s got a great mind, and in no way is using it going to help him. He just needs to feel what’s right and trust that instinct.
He’s at his best playing with that stupid grin. He shouldn’t clutter his mind with anything at all, let alone negativity.
Not just grit but talent
His accuracy was miserable yesterday. You can not be a starting QB in this league and throw balls like that. And don’t get me started on his decision making…
thats somewhat harsh
Alot I agree with but too say he is lcky to be in the nfl is a stretch…I respect what tony has accomplished.. The guy comes from a small school and does not get drafted to becoming the starter in dallas…I tip my hat to the guy..
So are alot of atheltes lucky enough to play in the nfl mlb etc but
but he deserves credit for getting to this point
Oh really?
Credit to whom? The only big time “evaluator” in major college and NFL levels that was enamored with this QB Romo is Sean Payton. Are all recruiters/College football coaches and NFL scouts wrong? Face it, Romo doesn’t have a next level to ascend to. 2007 was a flash in the pan. This team is doomed to mediocrity for the next several years due to being oversold on this snake oil salesman QB and the contracts that the team owner insists on passing out. I know everyone likes to ride M Tex for his constant prodding about Romo, but he is RIGHT. Not about Henson, but he is right about Nomo Romo.
Maybe Bret will take him ice fishing.

Don't see that from where I'm sitting...
If he lacked talent he wouldn’t be in the NFL. He may be thinking to much, IMO. He needs some consistency on those medium-deep throws, but he’s better than many QBs in league right now. Too early to judge the season girls.
Oh don't get me wrong
he was a very good QB in ’06 and ’07. But for some reason or another he declined. A lot of times with these QBs it just happens, no explanation. If you go look at previous pro-bowl QBs throughout the years you would be surprised at some of the names you would find.
no, I don't think he's regressed
he’s just in a slump, it happens to all qbs…he’ll bounce back to prove all the haters wrong.
In Romo we Trust
Well he better get out of this supposed slump of his pretty damn quick
because in a 16 game NFL season the margin of error is pretty small
Especially considering we're now 2.5 games outta first in the divis.

That is B.S.
Garrett and Wade are not telling Romo to overthrow his receivers or behind them on slants. They are not the ones who tell Romo to ignore wide open receivers. I don’t know how you could blame Romo’s failings on them. It is a convenient excuse because coaches are a lot easier to replace than franchise QBs. But sad to say that is the case.
I think that his being held back is true to some degree.
They obviously came out against Carolina ready for him to drive the bus. Downfield shots (Tony’s favorites) were minimal and then completely absent in yesterday’s game. Those are his bread & butter throws. These sideline routes and dumpoffs while he should just tuck it and run are not his game.
I’m telling ya—he’s been JuliusJones’d.

I'm not down on Romo yet but he
obviously has developed some kind of issues..but yeah I’m real down on Phillips
Phillips has his problems
but he has done a good job with the defense, which is what he was brought here to do. It’s just that RHG and Romo have not held up their end of the bargain.
That's why he need us ya'll
To stay strong and think positive, say a prayer it won’t hurt, you know, that he can be his personal best, dig deep for his lost inner BF. C’mon guys, member when we were saying he was a “Brett Favre starter kit”? Don’t know who came up with that, but I do know we were all true believers. I still believe and I’m gonna keep doing so until I’m sure as sure can be that it’s just not true.
Truly truly most truly disappointed in Jason Garrett, not sure I understand his thinking, it makes no sense.

Don't sell yourself short
Of course it matters to him what we think as fans. Do you really think he doesn’t? Why else is his head so full of sh#t at the moment? Cause he broke up with Jessica?

Just becuz you put yer boots in the oven don't make it bread
by dcfansinceiwasababy on Oct 5, 2009 11:34 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm not always right, no one is.
Romo may be influenced by some fans that are close to him, but that’s not me, and I don’t think that’s you, though I could be wrong. I doubt that Romo ever reads this blog, and even if he did, if he lets what we say or don’t say influence his game, then he has a serious problem.
Sorry if I came across a little obtuse before, it wasn’t intentional. I respect your opinion even if I disagree sometimes.
I didn't mean that
Sorry Bishop (what diocese are you from:) It’s just that I’m thinking that if we’re not careful (as a blob sort of creature) a mob will form and throw a good quarterback under the bus. The kind of negativity that we see here daily on this blog that attacks Tony oRmo cuz he is _________, or isn’t___________, and definitely is____________, but will never be_________, well it just gets me to thinkin, that yes, as a collective this negativity spreads like a disease among the frustrated spoiled rotten Dallas Cowboys fans. We need to calm down and be the best fans we can be.
There’s a lot of criticism that can be heaped on us as well. Like, why the hell can’t we be more like the KC fans who I think are sooooo freakin obnoxious for their behavior, but I’d be giving out awards for the same if Cowboys fans would be like that. Truth be told, I’m jealous of their fervor, especially when they have no reason in the whole wide freakin world to even give them a passing thought.
I’m just as frustrated as anybody here Bishop, just wish everybody would wait to execute the team until we have the final FINAL results.

right. If only people listened to us bloggers more.
If they listened to us:
Jerry would rehire Jimmy
Romo would have been cut and we’d be so deep in cap hell that Stephen McGee would be starting
Then, McGee would get cut b/c Jimmy couldn’t take it.
And, we’d be direct snapping to Barber (felix would be cut for getting hurt so much)
And Jerry would remove the GM tag from his name and give that job to TO.

Please go back and watch film of him at Texas A & M.
He might be good one day… but I’d bet my next years worth of paychecks that sunday or any sunday this season isn’t the day.

i believe I might put in
chester taylor at this point and let AP cool his heels on the bench.
I'm watchin'
the vikings, and i’m seeing the team I thought the Cowboys would be this year. Nasty front O Line, gutsy play-making QB, outrageous big play RBs, nasty pass rush and respectable pass defense.
Instead, we’re the packers in tonight’s analogy..
Vikings and Saints look like the NFC front runners
At this point in the season.
Harry: Huh! I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.
Lloyd: I was thinking the same thing. That John Denver's full of shit, man.
it makes me wonder
out of the 31 that were there when he played, how many did Aikman beat?
After Fuentes blows a save and an Angels loss to the Indians:
"Angels still in first place" - UCI Halo
"Hey you know who would have gotten those 3 outs in the 9th?
Darren O’Day." - FirebatM3
LOL
Game ending Ints
He also may be one of the few QB’s to end 2 NFC championship games with INT’s
Philly
New York Giants
