This week has been full of Tony Romo apologists backing up the Cowboys franchise quarterback after yet another fourth quarter interception that ended deciding the Cowboys’ fate.

According to Joe Owens of Pro Football Focus, the Cowboys have lost the past eight games in which Romo has thrown a fourth quarterback interception.

While Romo racks up some very impressive stats, he does have trouble putting games away in the fourth quarter.

You can argue that Romo has 19 fourth quarter comebacks wins, but he’s also had his share of blunders.

Apologists you say?

Romo's biggest problem isn't limited by his physical skills but by his impeccably horrendous timing. According to ESPN Stats & Info, since 2006, Romo has the fourth-highest fourth-quarter QB rating (behind Peyton Manning and Brees). Over that span, it includes 19 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter and overtime, which ranks fifth. Heading into Sunday's game, Romo had just one interception this season, and his 13 touchdowns was second only to Peyton Manning.

But the story changes when you break down Romo's fourth-quarter QB rating (again, from 2006 to present). In the first 12 minutes it's 80, second-best to Peyton Manning. In the final three minutes it drops to a below-average 44. He also has eight fourth-quarter interceptions, most in the league over that time.

But you know who else is on that fourth-quarter interceptions list? Tom Brady (7), Matt Ryan (7), Matt Schaub (6) and Chad Henne (6).

No one would be surprised by Schaub or Henne, but Brady and Ryan? Turns out, they make mistakes, too. In fact, Brady's Sunday afternoon against the Bengals ended with one of the worst interceptions you'll ever see. We didn't hear much about that because -- fairly or not -- Brady has three Super Bowl rings and Romo has a single playoff win.

For UVAWahoos from same article:

“It's the ultimate team sport,” Favre told the Dallas Morning News back in April. “I think it's misleading to say that a quarterback has wins and losses and say he was a part of one playoff victory. I think there are a lot of factors that go into the success of not only Tony Romo but any player. Just what little bit I've watched the last couple of years, it seems like they were a little bit in disarray offensively. I thought he did a good job, from what I saw, of managing and making plays. Does that get you in trouble sometimes when you try to do too much? Sure it does. But I think I'd rather have a guy who's willing to take those chances.”

I bet we've been in the most 1 score games Over the last 5 years too.

Romo definitely is tighter when it's down to the wire, but JFC he doesn't shit his pants
