This is for the haters, you Romo apologists and defenders.
My moment when I finally realized this dude was always, ever gonna choke. (No, the 2008 choke pick against Pittsburgh didn't wake me up, I was still a Romosapien apologist back then) 9/11/2011 vs. the Jets. First game of the season and Dallas had a 14 point lead at one point, but a Romo fumble and a blocked punt had put the game in Romo's hands in the last minute of the contest. Dallas had the ball at its own 40-yard line with 59 seconds to go, when Romo throws a terrible pass intended for Dez Bryant, right into the hands of Darrelle Revis and the Jets go on to kick the field goal to win the game, 27-24.

I was very nearly physically ill after seeing this live, as the realization hit me that this.... This IS Romo.
Then just a couple of weeks later Dallas had complete command of the game vs Detroit on October 2 2011. The score mid-way through the third quarter was 27-3 as Romo had pretty much had his way with the (at that time) porous Detroit secondary.
Then in just six minutes of game clock time, Romo offers up TWO pick sixes - one to former Cowboy Bobby Carpenter, and another to Chris Houston. Both were just dunderhead throws, no excuse for them at all, and Detroit caught fire as the commanding 24 point Dallas lead was now only ten.
Highlight reel of infamous late game Romo picks.
