Tony Romo is historically bad

[Bacon]

He led his team to a loss when ahead by at least 14 points with a quarter to go. The first time in Cowboys history.

His groundbreaking strategy included being unprepared for snaps, untimely interceptions, and fumbles. Is this due to Jessica Simpson voodoo? Incompetence? Will he continue his historic run throughout the rest of the season? Discuss.

[dfbovey]

I used to call him the modern Danny White... he may be worse.

[Unforgiven]

Too many late nights spent playing hide and seek with his male friends obviously...

(I mean this literally...he played hide and seek at his bachelor party)

[The Slamming Butcher]

He has some talent but he brain farts more than any NFL QB that I can EVER remember.

[BuddyLeeGhostHunter]

I thought Dallas had this game. Simply amazing...

...and I mean amazingly bad.

[Gracelander]

hysterically bad

[Boss_Hogg]

Kitna may be starting by week 7.

[santanathegreat]

I actually turned the game off at the start of the 4th. I should have known better with that assclown still playing.

[gamecokskins703]

Romo is my favorite player outside of the redskins, all he does is screw up the cowboys. its great
:ols:

[Ellis]

Romo for the win... ooooops!!! Take that back... :ols:

[Bacon]

Romo is my favorite player outside of the redskins, all he does is screw up the cowboys. its great
:ols:

Honestly, he's done a lot more to hurt the Cowboys than we have lately. :ols:

[Mr. Jones]

He certainly made a couple poor decisions, but this game was actually much closer than I expected. Giving up a special teams TD hurt the worst, but once Alan Ball was forced into a full time role I'd pretty much given up hope.

[SkinsFTW]

but once Alan Ball was forced into a full time role I'd pretty much given up hope.

Dallas fans still convincing themselves that something other than Romo is the real problem.

Trust me, Alan Ball didn't lose the game.

Alan Alda could have started and it was still Romo losing the game in the end.

[Destino]

Did you hear chris collinsworth mention Garrard was available late in the game? Hahaha

[SkinsFTW]

Did you hear chris collinsworth mention Garrard was available late in the game? Hahaha

Or they could just go get the original Romo.

Favre still hasn't made his annual comeback appearance.

Oh, this thread is gona' be EPIC tomorrow when everyone's favorite Cowboy lunatic Kenneth and RGSB try telling us how we'd all take Tony Turnover over anything we have; and reel off his stats before the clocks go back.

Dudes GOT to be the biggest choke artist in the game!! lol Hope he never retires!!!

[Darth Tater]

I used to call him the modern Danny White... he may be worse.

Dudes GOT to be the biggest choke artist in the game!! lol Hope he never retires!!!

He truly is an artist. You have to plan that **** out. An ordinary fail would not be enough to overcome a 14-point lead with little time to spare, so Tony pulled out every trick in his bag, only to pull it off with 30 seconds to go. Remarkable!

[War Paint]

I thought Dallas had this game. Simply amazing...

...and I mean amazingly bad.

For real. I'm so pissed because I turned the game so I could watch the season finale of True Blood. I thought for sure Dallas had that game. Dammit! I should've just watched True Blood later but the Jets were pissin me off.

[TheREALJBird]

I've never seen a player self implode as much as Tony Romo, an amazing sight to see.

Choko-Romo.......WOW....fun to watch

[SC_RedskinsFan]

Toe Jam has a pic on facebook of the ball hitting Chokmo at the end of the game, it's got that classic dumb look on his face, priceless!

[ConnSKINS26]

He certainly made a couple poor decisions, but this game was actually much closer than I expected. Giving up a special teams TD hurt the worst, but once Alan Ball was forced into a full time role I'd pretty much given up hope.

Really? Romo seemingly trying THREE times to give the game away, and finally succeeding, isn't worse than a special teams TD?

1.Fumble in the RZ while up 7, instead of throwing it away, or just.....you know....NOT fumbling, so that your kicker can take the FG, putting you up by two scores.

2. Interception thrown DIRECTLY to Revis. Gift-wrapped, even. He slapped a little ****ing bow on it for the Jets. Do I need to mention that he was targeting Dez on that play, even though he'd been gimpy and slowed for at least half the game? Oh, and was covered by Revis? :ols: The whole reason to put an injured Dez on the field on that play is to take Revis OUT of the play, not to target him! Otherwise, Dez is on the sideline and another, actually viable, option in Austin is covered by Revis rather than Cromartie. But no. Romo zero's in on him and tosses it right to Revis. :ols: Only reason this didn't ruin the game was that Sanchez is bad enough to give it right back.

3. Botched snap. Even if THIS wasn't Romo's fault, his chuckling, non-caring demeanor shows why he's not a leader and why he's a joke of a "franchise QB". Just ****ing embarrassing if you're a Cowboys fan. :doh:

But yeah, all of these things aren't as bad as a blocked punt. THAT is the real travesty here. :ols: :ols:

[Mr. Sinister]

I love Tony Romo

[SkinsFTW]

Romo bets millions on long odds 4th quarter comebacks against his own team in Vegas.

It's the only other explanation other than he blows.

Suicide watch at Cowboy Ranch (http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=112&f=1786&t=7911545):


I have no faith in Tony Romo period.


Tony Romo ≠ Champion


biggest Romo fan here but wow - cannot defend these boneheaded mistakes.


I never looked at Romo as a choker.....until tonight.....what goes through this guys mind?


There's a reason he went undrafted. He's a goof when it matters most.


can't defend Romo no more...


Tony Romo scares the crap out of me, and this game was the absolute reason why.


I have been defending this clown for years. I am done. He will never learn and is now the sole reason we lost this game.


I am done defending that loser Romo. He suxs!!!!! choker


Rex Grossman > Tony Romo


And why does he always have a goofy smile on his face when he messes up.


I have more faith in Kitna.


We need Andrew Luck! We're 0-1 and in the pole position.


Tony Romo lacks football IQ. Just accept it.


Romo is a CHOKE artist...Deal with it!


The saddest part? All those posts were by Tony Romo's mother.

:rotflmao:

[VCDefectors]

It was the first time in years where I didn't get to see the game (I'm in Korea - my fav source of free TV finally got blocked). I woke up to the news. My only surprise was that the Cowboys actually got a 24-10 lead against the Jets. I guess it's finally time to concede that Romo is not the answer. It's ironic to me that the only other NFL QB that could put up the numbers but couldn't ultimately get the job done was Drew Bledsoe, the guy Romo replaced.

Be prepared Cowboys fans. This is going to go down as one of the most heartbreaking seasons if you're not prepared.

I suppose it would be an easy one to call for Kitna or a new QB. But the truth is that the real needed change is at the very top. Until that does, I don't expect anything to be radically different than they are now. Jerruh is the real problem and always has been. Romo is just a symptom.

Nice to see the Skins fans never disappoint. You guys get a solid win today and decent quarterback play from Rexy (who fumbled and gave up a td on the play) and now you are holier than thou. He had two boneheaded plays against one of the best defenses in the league. Forget the fact thtat a bunch of other so called 'great' qbs played absolutely atrocious today. Nope. Romo is the worst qb ever.

We will see in a couple of weeks just how bad Tony Romo is....I will remember this thread.

Tony romo is the easiest to pick on because he carries himself like hes the prince of dallas. yeah so he has good stats, big deal. the most important stat is win-loss and right now hes 0-1. Not the entire cowboys team, ROMO is 0-1.

Cowboys should consider starting Stephen McGee. At least he's not a choke artist.

Since it won't happen, we can continue to laugh at Romo for this season. What a choking dog. I saw him yesterday on TV trying to huddle up the boys, he was so scared, the look of terror in his eyes! Hahah. Totally unclutch.

These are things people have been saying on this board for years. You act like this thread was only created because Rex had a good game lol

T-Rex is licking his chops at that matchup. Romo will likely have to throw a lot, to keep up with Rex! He torched you guys last year - without a running game - and your defense has actually gotten worse, while our offense has improved.

You kept saying (or I think it was you) - that preseason performance doesn't matter, "wait till the regular season, wait till the regular season", well, it's here; be careful what you wish for... It looks like the preseason has carried over in the the regular season, for both teams.

[dockeryfan]

Losing a 14 point lead in the 4th Q was like a birthday cake to me. Dallas loses.

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

When they had the ball and was ready to start the drive I told myself that he was either going to fumble or throw an interception. It's getting so predictable. His best use is as a fantasy QB. That's about it.

[Veretax]

Shouldn't we root for him to at least do passable out side of us, so the cowboys keep him around a bit longer, and don't try to draft a new QB?

Don't forget the interception he threw that Austin saved his bacon on. This game was typical Tony Romo. He put up great numbers, made some really, really good throws and then just choked when it mattered most. That fumble near the goal line sums up his career. A throw away wins the game for the Cowboys but Tony wants to make the big play instead. :beavisnbutthead:

[AmishGangsta]

Don't worry Cowboys fans, you have Sanfran next week. Romo will likely look like Joe Montana in that game.

It'll be enough to get their hopes up for just another week ;)

San Francisco has Patrick Willis... And they're special teams are no joke. I don't think that game is as in the bag as you do.

Never said they had it "in the bag", however, I do think Romo puts up some good numbers against that defense. They are good against the run, but I'm not confident in their secondary.

[No Excuses]

The funny thing about the fumble was that the play before he had almost thrown a pick 6 to Cromartie. He came back to the huddle smiling like an idiot and subsequently ****ed it up again. :ols:

Do you know what the difference is between Tony Romo and the other "So called 'great' qbs" is? The other qbs didn't have the game in the bag and choked it away. And by the way, the Giants didn't score after Sexy Rexy's fumble.

[HailToTheRedskins14]

SF cant score on Seattle...they have major off issues. Dallas should be able to come away with a 10 point win.......its week 3 i cant wait for. I do not see how the skins can stop Dallas.......i mean its a rivalry game so you never know, but Dallas beat up on some really Good Corners last night, ....should be a lot easier go against Washington, and i cant see the skins protecting Rex either. Ware was pushing the Jets Oline around.......I know Skins fans are pleased to be 1+-0 and get that win over the giants, and i know how happy they are over Dallas losing, but they (if honest about it...... and know a little about football) have to be concerned about the match up with Dallas.......skins fans: Outside of "its a rivalry and it will be close'....tell me please where you think the Skins are gonna match up well VS Dallas @ Dallas in 2 weeks???

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

I don't know if you noticed, but the Redskins defense isn't the same defense you saw a year ago. They're much improved. Good luck stopping our pressure. The thing I agree with here, in that statement though is our ability to open running lanes and protect Rex. That does scare me.

I love how you throw the "and know a little football" line in there. Really? The Cowboys have NO secondary. Whatsoever. Romo scares no one. I think you're in a state of denial. The Cowboys are NOT as good as you think they are. And the Redskins aren't as bad as you think they are, either. And neither team is a world beater. I don't understand how a fan of the Cowboys can come in here, a Redskin forum, and attempt to throw the football knowledge card out and then throw this nonsense out there. Guess what, I have football knowledge and I think you're blowing smoke up your own ass. You talk like the Cowboys are going to run roughshot all over the 'Skins, and we're lacking football knowledge? No. It'll be a good football game. But, keep throwing that knowledge card out there to make yourself feel better about the choke job.

ok...sounds like an easy win for the skins then...we shall see. I feel like Dallas is the better team after week one regardless of the teams records. Jets on the road vs the Giants at home.........and i think we can all agree, the giants are headed for last place in the division

Whats your gut tell you about Dallas VS Washington. Mine says Dallas wins 31-21. But lets wait till after week 21 to get that one started

I'm sure not many think it's a lock to beat the Cowboys at their home, but you always act like skins fans are scared of the Cowboys.

I think you posted something the other day like "skins fans show general worry amongst themselves, when talking about the boys"; I really don't know why you get that impression, and why you think skins fans are scared of your team. You were 6-10 last year.

You'll see threads like "The Eagles added so and so, are you worried?" OR "Man, I'm worried about the Giants this week".

But really man, skins fans don't fear the Cowboys. For the last decade or so, we typically beat you guys atleast once a year or get pretty damn close to it.

The fact that you think you'll come out and score 31 points on us and beat us by 10 points, tells me you really havn't been paying attention to the rivalry these last few years; more specificly, you sound like you're talking about last years Redskins team. Got news for you bro, we havn't improved a lot from last year. Have you watched any of the skins games, or are you just going off of what you've read from media experts?

The Cowboys are a team we typically match up well against. Typically, we don't match up well against the Giants.

[dockeryfan]

Whats your gut tell you about Dallas VS Washington. Mine says Dallas wins 31-21. But lets wait till after week 21 to get that one started
lol what are you basing that on? Paper? OK fine. Dallas looks better on paper. What does that get you? KDawg said it. Dallas is nowhere as good as you think they are, and the Skins are nowhere as bad. Giants had all their weapons on offense, and looked poor. What will Dallas' excuse be? I'm sure you will think of something.

[KDawg]

ok...sounds like an easy win for the skins then...

Who said that? Read. I know it's not a Cowboy fans strong suit, but I said, in the text you quoted nonetheless: "It'll be a good football game" and, "And neither team is a world beater".

I have no idea. I don't make predictions. I think its stupid, especially on score. And besides that, there's a week to be played, just like you mentioned, before I'm concerned with you.

Let's do some math here. The Giants scored 14 points. That's two TDs. There was Eli's TD run in the first quarter, then Bradshaw's TD run in the second. Where's that invisible third TD Kenneth?

TRPB, we don't care about that game right now. The game the Redskins are focused on is the Cardinals this Sunday.

The Cowboys play the 49ers this week. The way your team choked away a win last night, I'd be focusing my worries on San Francisco, and not Washington yet, son.

He had two boneheaded plays against one of the best defenses in the league. Forget the fact thtat a bunch of other so called 'great' qbs played absolutely atrocious today. Nope. Romo is the worst qb ever.

We will see in a couple of weeks just how bad Tony Romo is....I will remember this thread.



I actually agree with you, Ken. Romo is a very good QB and the Redskins didn't beat a fully-stocked Giant defense. I'm not under any impressions that we are suddenly "better" than Dallas. However, there aren't any threads in this forum that couldn't be found on Cowboy forums doing the same to Washington. It is what it is. We had a good opener and you didn't.

This type of rhetoric is organic to the rivalry. You're taking it a bit too personally. Cowboy fans exult over Redskin misfortune and vice versa. Looking forward to a competitive game in week 3.

[santanathegreat]

^^^His awareness is uncanny.

[JdoubleU]

I used to call him the modern Danny White... he may be worse.

Uh, how about Donovan in his prime?

[zoony]

He really does add a dimension of creativity to choking. Probably the most impressive choke artist in the history of football. He's a master. A modern day Picasso. He weaves a brilliant tapestry of pinpoint throws, incredible scrambles, amazing saves, and field generalship, but manages to leave one thread sticking out consistently for it to all come unraveled in time for the final whistle.

I stand in awe. I really do.

I absolutely LOVE what Romo does to Cowboy Nation. He gives the Cowboys fans hope, then rips their beating hearts out of their chests and devours them raw and still-beating while they watch in grotesque astonishment. He has the physical talent and shows just enough to ensure that the starting job will remain his for years to come. I love this guy. And I love his smile at the end of the loss... :)

[Roger.Staubach]

You think next weeks game verse the 49ers is a MUST WIN for them?

Can you imagine if they lose that game?!

It's not hard to imagine, actually. After last season and the opening to this season, winning is actually harder to imagine than almost anything else.

[zoony]

Listen, I don't think the Cowboys are that bad. Actually, I would venture to say they're a good football team, and will most likely be there at the end of the year.

But I still think Cowboy fans should be tempered against how they played against the Jets defense. The Jets have to blitz to bring pressure, they cannot generate it with their lineman alone. They might actually have one of the poorest Dlines in football. Blitzes play into Romo's strengths. He can make quick reads, scramble, and get the ball out to receivers running in one-on-one coverage.

Where the Cowboys have to be worried is against teams like the Giants who can bring it with just their front 4, and Romo is trying to look for the open guy with 7 defenders playing back and reading his eyes. That **** is going to be ugly. And Cowboys fans are going to be crying the blues regarding their Oline and how badly they bring the suck.

[Sticksboi05]

What a joke. Tony "Chris Webber" Romo choking late as usual.

[AmishGangsta]

The Jets are a good team, however, they generally keep teams in the game until the 4th quarter - a lot of ther games are close.

[MattFancy]

Gotta read the article from Grantland about Romo. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6943574/ultimate-high-school-quarterback



A personal brand like Tony Romo's could work only in Texas, and more specifically, could be produced only by the smoke and mirrors of the Dallas Cowboys franchise. High school football isn't a celebration of high-level football, it is an ecosystem of enabling where we celebrate the generic positive traits of football. That's why those of us who live in Texas must think about the Dallas Cowboys as the state's supercharged high school football team.

The majority of high school quarterbacks ascend to alpha dog social status in their high school communities based on projected generic intangibles. They might not be the most physically gifted athletes, but their leadership, 'moxie,' and 'patience within the pocket' make them 'born leaders.'

Did Romo earn his status as one of the league's most dependable quarterbacks, or is he just the overrated mediocrity of a high school quarterback who has done a good job of branding his intangible personality traits? Has Texas' need to create high school quarterback archetypes at every level transformed an affable, injury-prone, 'heady' athlete into its favorite cultural icon?

[SkinsGuy]

It could be must win for Dallas.

If they lose to the 49ers and start 0-2, I can't imagine what it might do to their psyche. I'm sure visions of 1-7 from last year will enter their minds.

For the overall season, it is probably not must win for the Cowboys, but it might be mentally for them

Nobody in the world and I mean nobody picked Dallas to win last night. Maybe one or two analyst period. Even Dallas fans chalked that up as a loss before the game. We were shocked to be winning that game and I am happy that the team played well. Minus Romo's two boneheaded plays we very easily could've won the game. We didn't, we lost time to move on.

We will beat San Fran. Then two tough but winnable games against Washington and Detroit. If we play like we did tonight we could go into our bye week 3-1 or 2-2.

This is not a 1-7 team. The defense played better then expected. Hell, we played without our #1, #2 and #3 Corner for 3/4 of the game! We had an undrafted FREE SAFETY playing Nickel Back! I was shocked the Jets didn't air it out more on us.

The team played well minus Romo and our punt unit. I think we showed the league we do belong and could be in contention for a wild card.

Trust me, I wasn't doing a 'state of the franchise" thing on the Cowboys. Just playing the 'what if....' scenario should they lose to the 49ers Sunday.

Which IS possible.

Any given Sunday, you know. :)

49ers are a rival of Dallas (or they consider themselves a rival). Those two teams hate each other. Pretty sure the 49ers will be pumped up for that one.

I watched one 49er game in the preseason, and they looked awful to me though.

; the Lions always play Dallas close - for whatever reason, even when they are bad.

[81+83+84=Posse]

Come on guys....To be fair, Revis was wide open on that throw.

[ouvan59]

skins fans: Outside of "its a rivalry and it will be close'....tell me please where you think the Skins are gonna match up well VS Dallas @ Dallas in 2 weeks???

How are we ever going to match up against a team that is now 6-12 in their last 18 games giving up 27.6 ponts per game in that span? I just can't see any hope. How can any team possibly compete against a team that has a defensive mastermind like Kathy Bates...errr. Rob Ryan on their sideline. Let's forget that the defense made Mark Sanchez look like Peyton Manning in the 2nd half. Lost in all the Tony Romo unintentional comedy moments was the fact that the defense gave up 205 yards passing in the 2nd half alone. Contrast that with a Skins team that gave up a total of 102 yards in the second half against a Top 5 offensive team. I'm guessing the point spread will be somewhere near 20. If the Skins can beat the spread I'll be a happy, happy man.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

.......I know Skins fans are pleased to be 1+-0 and get that win over the giants, and i know how happy they are over Dallas losing, but they (if honest about it...... and know a little about football) have to be concerned about the match up with Dallas.......skins fans: Outside of "its a rivalry and it will be close'....tell me please where you think the Skins are gonna match up well VS Dallas @ Dallas in 2 weeks???


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akCNVezROwg

And this year, we have a defense that can see it home and overcome Rex's inevitable turnovers, aside from the fact the O's improved. You have a defense that's worse than the one Rex shredded in 30 minutes football, and which can't overcome 'The Chokers' turnovers.

Hail.

[AmishGangsta]

TRPB, why ignore the rivalry? The history says a lot. The Skins/Cowboys games very rarely end in blowouts.

On paper we don't match up with no one lol, we don't have that many stars, but what we do have is a good head coach, and a team that is confident and that is playing "together".

Our star is Shanahan.

[Warhead36]

Why are we talking about a matchup that's still two weeks away?

GBH.............didt the skins lose that game LLS! nice post though.

Call it then, skins will win this game by a score of __________________?

I already said as much, i think the Cowboys win the first match up between the two with a 31-21 score. I think its obvious after week 1 which team is better between the two.......But this much we can agree on, The Giants a last place team, in the division and will prolly have a new coach this time next year....I understand its a rivalry. and i know its still 2 weeks away, but i watched both game s in full, and I got Dallas.........they are better then i thought they would be and prolly will end up with 9-10 wins. Skins are better too though and i can certainly see them with a 500 record. 8-8 is prolly the ceiling for the skins, but come on, that's with Rex Grossman as the QB, that is something the team should be proud of.

[JerseyGator]

Romo chokes like no other QB. I think the NFL figured him out years ago. The NFC East has the most overhyped QBs ... and then there's Rex - underhyped to balance everything out.

[AmishGangsta]

Say what you want about Rex Grossman, he outplayed Romo in week 1.

TRPB, just for reference, if I were to look at your history, what was your prediction week 1 of last year?

In the 90s, yes. But when was the last time a 49ers/Cowboy game meany anything? None of the current players were on those teams.

and I got Dallas.........

I'm shocked. No. Really. A fan of the team picked their team. Groundbreaking analysis here, too. "I had the TV on for both games, I pick Dallas at the better team. I could have tossed a coin, but just decided to say Dallas because Dallas is Amurica's Team!"


Skins are better too though and i can certainly see them with a 500 record. 8-8 is prolly the ceiling for the skins, but come on, that's with Rex Grossman as the QB, that is something the team should be proud of.

Awww, thanks for kicking up our spirits. So nice of you. Glad to know that after a loss we have someone who can give us a little jump start and optimism... Wait, what's that? We're 1-0 and you're 0-1? Oh. I wouldn't have guessed from your cesspool of posts.

[Sticksboi05]

I had Dallas losing week 1 last year in Washington, I almost NEVER pick Dallas to win in Wash and vice versa. There are the occasional sweeps, but for the most part, I figure on Dallas losing in Washington, no matter how much better they may be or how much better i "think" they are then the skins. Lets face it, those two teams are pretty close this year and ;looks like a split with each home team winning.........Dallas 31-21 and in Washington Skins 24-13

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

But at least we are in the same division. The 49ers/Cowboys play once every few years. Hard to build a rivlary like that if there's nothing at stake.

Doubtless that's the case with the players, but I know a few Texan Cowboy fans who absolutely hate the '9ers. If that feelings still as strong on the West coast, that stadium should be rocking next Sunday.

Hail.

[AmishGangsta]

But this much we can agree on, The Giants a last place team, in the division and will prolly have a new coach this time next year....

People are always quick to write off the Giants - last time people did, they won the Super Bowl. I'm not ready to write em off yet.

They are good at drafting, and it wouldn't shock me if the new guys that come in, end up being solid players - over time.

Agreed. The Giants actually impressed me yesterday. Yea, they looked sloppy at times and Eli looks horrendous but their defense looks solid and once they get healthy, they will be nasty again.

I have no idea what is wrong with Eli. He has always been shaky, but yesterday he was horrible.

Their running game and defense will keep them competitive and I would not be surprised if they win 9 to 10 games and will be in the hunt with the Eagles for the NFC-East crown.

He was only horrible in the 4th quarter I thought. He looked pretty decent the rest of the game.

I think Eli is one of those QB's, if you hit him enough and you're playing with a lead, he starts to spiral downward.

[AmishGangsta]

Even the banged up Giants D played us tough. They were definitly giving us fits with their pass rush.

Grossman also outplayed Romo in the preseason. Practice well play well. Romos preseason struggles seem to be carrying on to the regular season. Grossmans success in the preseason seems to be carrying over into the regular season.

You have to admit, Rex seems to be playing well in the system. He looks a lot better than many predicted.

The Jets are better than the Giants on defense, but the Giants are no pushovers.

The Giants have a much, much, much better Dline. The jets have a better secondary. They have to blitz to get pressure, the Giants don't.

Like I said above, when Dallas plays a team with a strong front they are going to look AWFUL. Romo is going to be under pressure and having to throw into 7 man secondaries, instead of 5 man secondaries filled with man-coverage like he saw last night.

Rexy looked very good yesterday. If he continues there is no reason to believe that the skins won't contend for the division. One thing about Shanahan is that he knows how to run an offense and he is excellent with QBs....

[AmishGangsta]

You never can tell.... The Packers were injured last year and teams were appearently going to abuse them etc... Their season was done etc... Their defense ended up being pretty darn good.

; like I said before, the Giants have been down this path before, injuries, losing streak etc... then they have young guys who come out of nowhere, and the team wins the Super Bowl.

I'm not saying they are a Super Bowl team, but they are a regime that's been together awhile, and they are very good at finding talent. I could be wrong, but I think they'e going to give the other teams in the division fits.

I just know what I saw, and I didn't feel like we were playing a bad defense. I could be wrong...

Hell, even with all their injuries, I've seen some people picking them to win the division.

; I know it sounds crazy, but just because the Jets were a good defense last year, doesn't mean they will be this year - example, Dallas used to have a top defense, now they are terrible.

You won't get any arguments from me. All I meant by the term "bad season opener" was that you lost. I also thought the Cowboys looked good overall.

For real. I'm so pissed because I turned the game so I could watch the season finale of True Blood. I thought for sure Dallas had that game. Dammit! I should've just watched True Blood later but the Jets were pissin me off.

[AmishGangsta]

I don't get why he thought it was funny that he threw a game ending pick.

Can you imagine how our local media would react, if one of our QBs did that?

Is Romo secretly working for Snyder?!

It certainly looks like Rob Ryan is stepping on Jason Garrett's toes.

How long before he's the head coach? - in all seriousness. To me they don't seem like an ideal fit - the "gentle" "passive agressive" coaching style of JG, mixed with the "over the top" agressive nature of the Ryans.

[ouvan59]

I was wondering who Ryan was pissed at at the end of the game. They showed him real quick and he was yelling "Aw, eff you..No, eff you.." before the camera pulled away to his brother. It was probably a Jet player but you never know.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

The Jets are a good team, however, they generally keep teams in the game until the 4th quarter - a lot of ther games are close.

Mark Sanchez is their quarterback. They can't get leads on teams unless their defense generates tons of turnovers or if their special teams score.

Also, I think Rob Ryan is more like his daddy than Rex. For all his bluster, I don't think Rex would ever embarrass a player or fellow coach. Rob just doesn't seem to give a ****. I would not want him on my coaching staff, particularly since he produces nothing like the results his dad or brother do. Who would want a loudmouth ******* Ryan who is going to finish 16th in total defense?

[ArmchairRedskin]

I heard an interesting stat today. Romo is 1-7 in his last 8 starts.

[Roger.Staubach]

He really does add a dimension of creativity to choking. Probably the most impressive choke artist in the history of football. He's a master. A modern day Picasso. He weaves a brilliant tapestry of pinpoint throws, incredible scrambles, amazing saves, and field generalship, but manages to leave one thread sticking out consistently for it to all come unraveled in time for the final whistle.

It's not so far fetched to think we could be playing Kitna week 3 (if Romo costs them again against the 49ers) - as, it doesn't sound like Rob Ryan is too happy with him, if he's getting cussed out.

TRPB, I think the score prediction is way too high, I think it will be a defensive battle with lots of sacks/turnovers. The way our defense is playing right now, Dallas will likely want to run the ball, else Romo/Kitna is going to get killed.

Yeah, but the game was pissing me off too much. I really didn't see how the Jets could come back and win that. Everytime Romo would screw up, Sanchez would too. I saw a stat last night that said the Cowboys record with a 14+ point lead in the 4th qt. is 241-0 with one tie. I don't think anyone in America watching the game thought the Jets would win. I really don't know any player that chokes that bad. Incredible.

Yeah and in that game right before we came back they posted the stat on the screen. Like 80 or 90-0 when leading by 13 in the 4th quarter, lol. Then Brunell to Moss x2. And Romo wasn't even playing, he was the backup, maybe he's just a curse in general.

The C stands for "Choke"

Now imagine our game yesterday. We are up 14. 28-14 in the 4th quarter.

Imagine if Grossman fumbled at the 3 yard line when we were about to score again. Then Eli screws it up but then Grossman throws an Int directly to Phillips because he's trying to force the ball to Moss. Then later when we have given up the 14 point lead he has a snap bounce off his chest and he throws the ball away, effectively ending the game, with this look on his face

Skins fans wouldn't stop talking about benching him for months, even if he had good games after. There would be 500 Start Beck Now threads, and maybe rightfully so, lol. There would be a 50 page thread about how Grossman doesn't give a **** because he already got paid. There would be another 5 threads about Snyder being involved in player contracts. There'd be another Six Flags thread and a City Paper article about how Snyder used to hang out with George Preston Marshall when he was a kid and hates minorities, or how he was the real cause of the global warming or something, and on and on. :D

Romo just goes on starting, he's their guy, and he has a 102QB rating, don't forget!!!

I think its obvious after week 1 which team is better between the two....

The only thing that's obvious to me is the standings. You can read anything you want into the performances, but there's nothing "obvious" about a team's quality when their own quarterback spends the last 5 minutes of every game aiding the other team.

That said, I was impressed by the Cowboys' pass rush; you scared the crap out of Sanchez all game. I am indeed very worried for our o-line.

I think it was led by a guy named Mark Brunell and some other dude who we know around these parts named "Santana Moss" if I'm not mistaken? ;)

Is anyone else still smiling after the Cowboys gave up 17 unanswered points in the 4th to lose?

I find that stat of 241-0-1 VERY hard to believe. Someone would have to show me the entire 242 games for me to believe it. Anyway, they don't call him "Tony Turnover" for nothing.
