Re: Box score says it was 20-3 at the half. Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 14/09/2012 11:04:56 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.


It came on the next Cowboys possession. Forgot they scored to open the half.

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. :(


Agree on the Jets and Lions. Ny? What are you smoking? How does 300+ yards, 4 TDs, 0 int, fall on Romo? Who, by the way, drove them down for the game tying FG anyways but the kick was blocked. And you might want to rewatch the Seattle game again. Yes, Romo botched the hold on a new, slick ball in the misty rain. (Remember they changed the rules about new balls after this). But there was still 1:19 left to play, more than enough time for Seattle to drive against the same D they had been driving on all half. They just needed a FG to win it. Always remember the play before the botched hold, where the refs ruled that Witten was down a yard short of the first down, but the replay was really inconclusive to me. Also, since you blame Romo for a safety in the Giants game, Terry Glenn had a costly safety in the 4th quarter on what should have been a touchdown, but he fumbled the ball out of the endzone.

What other games do ya got?

Help me settle argument about NFL QBs Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 06:20:48 PM 790 Views
Ben Roethlisberger is better than Philip Rivers as of now, regardless of stats. Anonymous2000 - 13/09/2012 07:06:34 PM 555 Views
Is that who you think these QBs are? *NM* Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 07:23:20 PM 304 Views
So if they traded QBs they would switch places in ranking? random thoughts - 13/09/2012 07:37:26 PM 645 Views
Good points, but these aren't Rivers and Roethlisberger lol *NM* Dark Knight - 13/09/2012 08:08:57 PM 311 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 387 Views
Is this the third post about that same argument? Nate - 13/09/2012 08:12:03 PM 661 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 762 Views
Wrong game Dark Knight - 14/09/2012 01:31:23 PM 603 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 733 Views

Yeah, remember that, too, but those 5 Giants points made the difference. Joel - 14/09/2012 10:30:56 PM 667 Views

That is somewhat ironic, since Hasselbeck also has the Super Bowl appearance Romo lacks. Joel - 14/09/2012 01:03:06 PM 722 Views
