Box score says it was 20-3 at the half. Joel Send a noteboard - 14/09/2012 10:22:40 PM
You decide.

:P

We don't tremble in fear at playing the Giants but we would rather not play them. Dallas? We'll take them on the schedule every year. Tony Romo simply put, instills no fear, no questioning of confidence in a team. Especially after his brekout year last year where he "made" guys better like his brother, I would always tread carefully around Eli Manning.

Lemme see if I recall how that game en—oh, right, Romo tossed ya'll two pick sixes and Dallas lost by 4. *hack, hack*


And they came right after halftime. Still, it was only 27-17. From there, the Dallas defense let them down and all of a sudden couldn't stop Stafford, who was pitiful in the first half. I say 60% Romo, 40% defense. Still, name any QB and I will give you an equally bad game.

The first third quarter score was Romo to Witten for a TD, so the pick sixes did not come RIGHT after the half. It has been a while since I looked at that game, but last time I checked the play-by-play the first pick six came after the third quarter was half done, IIRC.

EDIT: I must say, the whole "anyone can have a bad game" argument falls a little flat as an excuse for:

Last years loss to the Jets,
Last years loss to the Lions,
Last years first loss to NY,
The playoff loss to Seattle and
More games than I can count that were just as bad but got less press.

Sure, anyone can have one off day; Romos just happens to be Sunday. :(

Help me settle argument about NFL QBs Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 06:20:48 PM 846 Views
Ben Roethlisberger is better than Philip Rivers as of now, regardless of stats. Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 07:06:34 PM 609 Views
Is that who you think these QBs are? *NM* Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 07:23:20 PM 327 Views
So if they traded QBs they would switch places in ranking? random thoughts - 13/09/2012 07:37:26 PM 701 Views
Good points, but these aren't Rivers and Roethlisberger lol *NM* Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:08:57 PM 331 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 408 Views
Is this the third post about that same argument? Nate - 13/09/2012 08:12:03 PM 712 Views
I'm sorry, is this not a free country? Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:26:21 PM 639 Views
Right, well. Nate - 13/09/2012 08:43:02 PM 769 Views
Re: Right, well. Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:48:27 PM 791 Views
If you want to have that debate more broadly, then it's more interesting. Nate - 13/09/2012 09:17:50 PM 747 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 818 Views
Wrong game Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 01:31:23 PM 656 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 783 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 384 Views
Yeah, remember that, too, but those 5 Giants points made the difference. Joel - 14/09/2012 10:30:56 PM 716 Views
But a Manning by any other name doesn't throw as many picks random thoughts - 13/09/2012 09:48:08 PM 638 Views

post something else and these three post won't seem as important random thoughts - 13/09/2012 08:36:29 PM 660 Views
For once I agree with you completely. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:11:20 PM 741 Views
Me too. You filty commie bastards. Cannoli - 14/09/2012 11:28:37 PM 887 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 779 Views
According to Wikipedia, you're talking about... Legolas - 13/09/2012 09:05:26 PM 604 Views

Same argument - Eli >> Romo due to leadership, big games, and championships. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 10:31:12 PM 293 Views
So a game manager is a better QB than a skilled QB? Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 12:08:43 AM 621 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 616 Views

Romo hasn't been the same since Jessica Simpson dumped him. Anonymous2000 - 14/09/2012 01:52:50 AM 707 Views
Ha! He dumped her Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 02:16:56 AM 726 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 295 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 686 Views
And lost out before the NFC championship Cannoli - 17/09/2012 11:01:59 AM 751 Views
A few tangential notes, mainly for tangential discussion. Joel - 18/09/2012 01:00:12 AM 776 Views
Wait, you're way overstating something. callandor1000 - 17/09/2012 03:14:45 AM 688 Views
Another good point; well said. Joel - 18/09/2012 01:16:11 AM 677 Views
Well you got that answer right even if you missed the question *NM* random thoughts - 13/09/2012 09:36:53 PM 291 Views
Excellent. *NM* Legolas - 13/09/2012 09:50:43 PM 295 Views
That is somewhat ironic, since Hasselbeck also has the Super Bowl appearance Romo lacks. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:03:06 PM 771 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 620 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 694 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 693 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 735 Views
I believe you already know my answer. Joel - 14/09/2012 12:58:16 PM 624 Views
Based only on those numbers, I say #1 is better. Palatine - 14/09/2012 02:21:17 PM 618 Views
Heh, I guess an Eagles fan is an unbiased, if not totally objective, arbiter. Joel - 14/09/2012 09:35:47 PM 662 Views
How dare you, sir? Palatine - 15/09/2012 06:46:34 PM 693 Views

You honed in on and explained the difference perfectly. Joel - 17/09/2012 05:48:21 PM 727 Views
Repeating your bad argument doesnt make it valud *NM* random thoughts - 18/09/2012 12:30:22 AM 278 Views
