The 2012 Cowboys have improved in that they stab their fans in the heart MULTIPLE TIMES in the fourth. It used to be only once.

My god, being a Cowboy fan in the Romo era is just like being kicked in the groin repeatedly.

As bad as Romo can be at times, how many QBs hav ebeen bailed out by the defense? Brady won a superbowl throwing for like 50 yards.

Romo can be bad, but his downfalls are magnified by the fact that the rest of the team doenst bail him out. If we counted every time a QB sucked and not just sucked + lost a game, Romo would not appear to be as unclutch as he is perceived.

We've never come back from "the hold."

Seriously it's been nothing but devastating punishment since that moment.

I've been using this argument for years.

Because that's how long I've needed it for.

FOR YEARS.

I'm done.

He's Bill Buckner.

He's Mitch Williams

He's f-ing POISON.

It's become almost comical.  Seems like Romo and Philip Rivers are the two QBs in the NFL right now who just have a knack for producing absolutely soul-crushing, devastating losses.

I am sorry but Romo's mistakes are usually preventable and are some of the ugliest we see on a weekly basis....he is not the worst QB in the league as he can play, but man its looking like the Cowboys need to start preparing for the future sooner than we thought.... Romo may only last next year if repeats the same mistakes again.

Romo had a bad game tonight with 3 picks, but it certainly didn't help that Dez and Miles both got knocked out of the game.  Last week though, the guy throws for 4 TDs and 0 INTs and his defense couldn't stop anybody.  But public perception is difficult to change.  Until proven otherwise, he's a choker.

RG3 didn't do much, but in my league would still have scored 16 points.  Those 60 plus rushing yards make his floor pretty high and one of the reasons why he'll be highly drafted next year in leagues where having a top tier QB is a huge difference maker.

Alfred Morris with a 200 yards 3 TD game.  I don't care if he's not fast.  He's a stud and I'm going after him next year.

[FML]

Gotta be frustrating that Romo is the cause for getting Dallas so close and yet the reason they don't finish. I do agree that he doesn't get bailed out as often as other QBs around the league. For better or worse, it's all on Romo.

[My Dinner With Andre]

That roughing the passer penalty was criminal.  Cowboys were going to get the ball back down 6 with 2 minutes left.  Anyone?

How can anyone not love this guy.  He performs, runs hard and is all about the team and humility.  His post-game interview on the biggest of stages proves yet again how easy it is to root for him.  Add to that the car he drives, and to me he's the people's champ.

Alf was avail all week during the preliminary waivers and I stayed away the guy that blew his load on him after week 1 ( 37$ out of 50) won the title, great job by him as he used Alf to defeat me in the 'ship.  Argh wish I used my last draft pick on him as a lottery ticket bc of his preseason usage, I just didnt trust Shanny esp with Royster n Helu seemingly right there.
