As many TDs as incompletions

by DavidH22 on Nov 13, 2011 8:57 PM CST

Tony Romo already holds many team passing records, today he added another one to his growing collection – single game completion percentage.

Romo’s 88.5% success rate edged out Danny White’s 1983 performance against the Eagles at the Vet, where #11 went 24-21-268-2-1, completing 87.5% (I remember watching that game).

The Dallas Cowboys have been blessed with many Pro Bowl, All-Pro, Super Bowl and NFL Hall of Fame quarterbacks throughout their history, the list below shows the best single-game completion percentage for each one (minimum 20 attempts).

Tony Romo (2011): 26-23-270-3-0 (88.5%)

Danny White (1983): 24-21-268-2-1 (87.5%)

Troy Aikman (1992): 21-18-239-3-0 (85.7%)

Roger Staubach (1976): 28-22-339-3-0 (76.5%)

Don Meredith (1969): 33-25-302-2-0 (75.8%)

Craig Morton (1969): 20-15-239-1-0 (75.0%)

Romo’s previous best (2007): 25-20-324-3-1 (80.0%)

Romo was a beast today ...no doubt

Lostar hey how ya doin buddy.

Hey man how ya holding up buddy. I know Arizona got lucky. No I’m playing man Romo has a winning formula now I think it makes defenses are stuck between a rock and a hard place now and Romo has benefited. What do you say two more games like this and maybe you will say give him a chance. Btw told ya Garrett isn’t controlling him.

Buffalo came in this game beat up and on a losing streak. We took advantage of struggling team . I will take a the w and keep it moving..

I don’t think that really fits the facts.

BUF has a terrible pass defense and can’t rush the passer. Romo’s been doing this for a long time.

Dallas came out throwing, and kept throwing until they put the game out of reach.

question, if you were a DC, what adjustment would you have made after the first series? play the run?

Simms noted that BUF gave up on their man to man coverage after the first series and went to zone to try and contain the passing game.

Romo’s been on an incredible hot streak.

he’s throw 1 int (the #80 muff) in the last 4 games.

and Austin isn’t even playing.

unreal.

Its a simple concept

And I’ve said it a thousand times. Its a winning formula. Listen buffalo had a had game plan we’ve had one of the most inconsistent pass games in the league so far this year, and as of late a killer run game so how do you game plan. I think this was a Philly Dallas game all over. But we played well and I think that Garrett is learning what we all need him to learn in his second year as head couch. As of his first year its a blow out win and 1-0 44-7 nice Jason.

Replay?

I watched the game on a streaming site with very crappy quality. Does anyone know of anywhere online where I can watch a replay or perhaps a site with a quality torrent of the game? It seemed like at every snap the video would pause and then resume after the conclusion of the play. A game this good deserves at least one viewing with quality video, and probably a few replays while grinning like a goofy bastard. Any info helps guys

YEP!

He did! When he ends his career I think he will own all Dallas Records except most SB victories. I just don’t think he has enough years left in him to win 3 superbowls!
