Wrong game Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 14/09/2012 01:31:23 PM
Clutchness is something everybody seems to bring up. How many game winning drives have they had? Well, was it Tony Romo's fault that the field goal attempt was blocked? Or his receiver dropped a touchdown? Or his offensive line failed to protect him? Too many variables, even during "clutch" situations.

So, yes, it was his fault, both for mishandling the snap and for gaining nothing when he took off and ran. Kind of impressive in an "OMFG" sort of way; he managed to choke in the clutch twice on a single play.


I was referring to the Giants game last year. He was trying to argue that the safety in the 1st quarter was the difference.

Help me settle argument about NFL QBs Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 06:20:48 PM 809 Views
Ben Roethlisberger is better than Philip Rivers as of now, regardless of stats. Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 07:06:34 PM 574 Views
Is that who you think these QBs are? *NM* Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 07:23:20 PM 313 Views
So if they traded QBs they would switch places in ranking? random thoughts - 13/09/2012 07:37:26 PM 666 Views
Good points, but these aren't Rivers and Roethlisberger lol *NM* Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:08:57 PM 319 Views
argument is the same no matter who the QB is and I think I have made my opinions clear on the others *NM* random thoughts - 13/09/2012 08:33:16 PM 396 Views
Is this the third post about that same argument? Nate - 13/09/2012 08:12:03 PM 677 Views
I'm sorry, is this not a free country? Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:26:21 PM 601 Views
Right, well. Nate - 13/09/2012 08:43:02 PM 739 Views
Re: Right, well. Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:48:27 PM 757 Views
If you want to have that debate more broadly, then it's more interesting. Nate - 13/09/2012 09:17:50 PM 693 Views

Sorry, the FG attempt was not blocked: Romo bobbled the snap, then ran for 0 yards. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:18:08 PM 783 Views
Wrong game Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 01:31:23 PM 623 Views
Ah; in that case staggering into ones own endzone and taking a knee is on the ball carrier, yes. Joel - 14/09/2012 09:43:51 PM 749 Views
...in the 1st qtr! They were up by 12 with 5 mins to go. So... *NM* Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 10:09:27 PM 371 Views
Yeah, remember that, too, but those 5 Giants points made the difference. Joel - 14/09/2012 10:30:56 PM 686 Views
But a Manning by any other name doesn't throw as many picks random thoughts - 13/09/2012 09:48:08 PM 601 Views
Re: But a Manning by any other name doesn't throw as many picks Nate - 13/09/2012 10:01:30 PM 642 Views
post something else and these three post won't seem as important random thoughts - 13/09/2012 08:36:29 PM 630 Views
For once I agree with you completely. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:11:20 PM 710 Views
Me too. You filty commie bastards. Cannoli - 14/09/2012 11:28:37 PM 856 Views
OK, I am starting to feel dirty now, but it was worth it to hear someone call rt a commie. Joel - 15/09/2012 12:13:12 AM 743 Views
According to Wikipedia, you're talking about... Legolas - 13/09/2012 09:05:26 PM 571 Views

I told you, Wikipedia. Legolas - 13/09/2012 09:49:32 PM 764 Views
Same argument - Eli >> Romo due to leadership, big games, and championships. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 10:31:12 PM 282 Views
So a game manager is a better QB than a skilled QB? Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 12:08:43 AM 588 Views
No, but a 2-time Super Bowl MVP that led two game-winning drives is better..... Anonymous2000 - 14/09/2012 01:06:18 AM 587 Views
No questions Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 01:12:09 AM 600 Views

Romo hasn't been the same since Jessica Simpson dumped him. Anonymous2000 - 14/09/2012 01:52:50 AM 675 Views
Ha! He dumped her Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 02:16:56 AM 691 Views
and Eli has been great since he threw a fit about who was drafting him *NM* random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:31:23 AM 284 Views
If Romo was playing on the Giants last year they would have done much better than 9-7 random thoughts - 14/09/2012 11:30:36 AM 659 Views
And lost out before the NFC championship Cannoli - 17/09/2012 11:01:59 AM 697 Views
A few tangential notes, mainly for tangential discussion. Joel - 18/09/2012 01:00:12 AM 727 Views
Wait, you're way overstating something. callandor1000 - 17/09/2012 03:14:45 AM 653 Views
Another good point; well said. Joel - 18/09/2012 01:16:11 AM 642 Views
Well you got that answer right even if you missed the question *NM* random thoughts - 13/09/2012 09:36:53 PM 278 Views
Excellent. *NM* Legolas - 13/09/2012 09:50:43 PM 283 Views
That is somewhat ironic, since Hasselbeck also has the Super Bowl appearance Romo lacks. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:03:06 PM 743 Views
And that is why Jim McMahon is a greater QB than Dan Moreno and Danny White random thoughts - 14/09/2012 01:39:27 PM 586 Views
The '05 Seahawks D is nothing like that of the '85 Bears, and neither is that of the '07/'11 Giants. Joel - 14/09/2012 09:45:34 PM 662 Views
Hasselbeck had Alexander Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 10:17:07 PM 608 Views
Who was a one year wonder, not a Hall of Famer like Sweetness. Joel - 14/09/2012 10:34:49 PM 663 Views
Tony did just beat Eli. MonCul - 13/09/2012 11:28:00 PM 655 Views
Romo does well in the first game of the season, Eli does well in the last game of the season. Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 11:55:13 PM 658 Views
As a Lions fan, all I can say about the two is... everynametaken - 14/09/2012 09:00:15 PM 583 Views
Ah, yes, Detroit; they were down 27-3 to Dallas at the end of the third quarter, right? Joel - 14/09/2012 09:51:01 PM 714 Views
End of the half Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 10:13:24 PM 648 Views
Box score says it was 20-3 at the half. Joel - 14/09/2012 10:22:40 PM 760 Views
Re: Box score says it was 20-3 at the half. Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 11:04:56 PM 667 Views
Yeah, OK 27-3 with 10:30 left in the third; you got me to look it up after all. Joel - 15/09/2012 12:33:53 AM 690 Views
I believe you already know my answer. Joel - 14/09/2012 12:58:16 PM 592 Views
Based only on those numbers, I say #1 is better. Palatine - 14/09/2012 02:21:17 PM 581 Views
Heh, I guess an Eagles fan is an unbiased, if not totally objective, arbiter. Joel - 14/09/2012 09:35:47 PM 628 Views
How dare you, sir? Palatine - 15/09/2012 06:46:34 PM 658 Views
Not at all; I was AFFIRMING your objectivity. Joel - 17/09/2012 05:43:02 PM 676 Views

QB #2. callandor1000 - 17/09/2012 03:08:18 AM 680 Views
You honed in on and explained the difference perfectly. Joel - 17/09/2012 05:48:21 PM 674 Views
Repeating your bad argument doesnt make it valud *NM* random thoughts - 18/09/2012 12:30:22 AM 259 Views
Clearly it is not solely MY argument. Joel - 18/09/2012 12:34:45 AM 646 Views
