You refuse to acknowledge the damage Romo consistently did in putting our defense at a disadvantage. 2-11 or 3-13 in 3rd down conversions, the picks, the fumbles. C'mon now. So I give you a little sarcasm to illustrate the valid point, and you brush it off as a 'dig.' Facts aren't digs. That...

Welcome to :theu Dave.

By the time we lined up for the kickoff for that Detroit game, Jimmy had revenge on his mind and his vastly improved secondary to back it up. And the scheming vs. The R&S to make it so. What a great day that was. Jimmy had the Cowboys eating nails and shitting i-beams.

Yep you just gotta limit damage by stopping touchdowns and applying scoring pressure on their offense. Limit mistakes and especially turnovers while at the same time creating turnovers by them. It's all about points on the scoreboard, not yardage given up. They gone get they yardage.

The big improvement on defense was a lot more of a function of limiting Romo's pass attempts and instead, obstinately running the ball - which we finally learned is one of the best ways to protect your defense, by keeping them on the bench, fresh and rested and not getting hurt. (Everyone...

Shit, he carried the punters too. He said "interceptions are as good as punts." Damn, he was God. And with his many 3 and outs and the many games when we were 2-11 or 3-13 in 3rd down conversions, our punters led the league in attempts. He was great for punters. he could do it all.

Just imagine if Romo hadn't been "carrying" them quite so much with all the picks and fumbles. Also, he really surprised me with the back injuries. I never worried about his back, it was his neck which I always thought would finally give out from whiplash, all the times he suddenly jerked his...

Never worked for FOX and he's not gone from SeeBS.

It's not what someone claimed, it's the gist of the defenders of Romo. He had no flaws and carried the worrrrrld on his shoulders including the Ginger coach and the drunk idiot GM, both of whom he loved and thought were great. Nobody made any such claim. I don't remember the last time we had a...

But still here we are, Romo was God and completely blameless for anything. It's alllll someone else's fault.

Like hell. Danny White was the poor man's Danny White. Romo was the 70 million dollar Danny White.

Those stats aren't what I'm critical of, as you well know. It's the whole shitting the bed at the worst possible time part, then it's all nyuk-nyuk afterword. I never saw anyone talk about how Romo hated losing, because clearly he didn't. Coming back to this old saw, because it's simply not...

His whole body of work can accurately be summed up by that Denver game. Shooting it out pass for pass with Manning, until near the end when it hurts the most and cannot be recovered from, he shits the bed. He chokes. That's his legacy in a nutshell. And after that at the end of the game what...

He was a what me worry nyuk-nyuk small town boy made good and never got Aikman serious. Much less Staubach serious. He just didn't seem to take it seriously, it was just a game to him and stayed that way. He never seemed to mind losing it was all oh well we'll get 'em next time. There never...

If losing was the worst thing to happen...

This exact thing was a hallmark of both Landry and Johnson's defensive philosophies. Stop touchdowns.

It's a perception I and many others share. That doesn't make it a fact.

NOTE: I've split this from the "Time to move on from Dez" thread. Mostly to remove all of this off-topic stuff, and partly to give these posts their own thread. I'm the dumbass who derailed the thread by bringing Romo up when I knew better than to do that. I don't know anyone who does. But it's...

You're saying Dak=Weeden? You have a screw loose. LOL We should compare a 4th round 2nd year guy to the very best days and seasons of a multi-year veteran? And without mentioning that same veteran had strings of games where he couldn't compete at a high level for whatever reason? ALL...

That's why "accuracy" is very relative.
