This is shaping up to be defense on the level of Grinnel by both sides.

He said something like "the runner is down" just as it was confirmed he wasn't. Then tried some lame "they probably didn't have evidence"

How much talent do they need to put around him before he's able to lead them to some meaningful wins?

But weren't they down 35-13 with Romo throwing two int's before the offense woke up? That tells me that Washington quit being as aggressive, not that Romo is a good QB.

a guy in my FFL has Romo and RGIII as his QBs

he started the wrong one. Id be happy if either of my QBs on Sunday put up 1/2 that amount of points.

It was a smart play. Worse thing that happens if the ball gets spotted where he threw the ball. With the potential that the refs miss it.

It also means Dallas gave up 35 up to that point. Give Dallas a decent defense and I bet they make the playoffs.

Not if Romo can only move the ball when down by multiple scores.

What exactly was Romo doing during the second quarter when Washington was scoring at will?

Which is why he'll never win a Super Bowl. He's a great 'garbage time' QB, he will never be anything more than that.

Down 14-3, Dallas goes three and out.

Down 21-3. Dallas turns the ball over on a Romo int (which Washington then drives for another TD).

Dallas ranks 7th in passing yards per game. They rank 29th in rushing. Romo is 16th in terms of rating. Defensively, Dallas ranks 15th in points allowed per game although that is before this game. I'm by no means a Romo defender, but I don't see any valid reason to say he sucks if for no other reason he gets near no support from the running game.

Hes an above average quarterback. Get a solid running game, a good offensive line and a consistent defense and he could win it all. Hes the same type of qb as Mathew Stafford and Jay Cutler who dont get near the blame that Romo does. Its not easy to play QB in the NFL with no running game and a shitty offensive line. He does pretty good for himself other than some bonehead plays.

He's got former first-rounders at Left Tackle, Running Back and Reciever and a future Hall-of-Famer at Tight End. Could it be that Romo simply lacks a killer instinct early in games?

He threw for roughly 110 of his 441 yards in the first half.

Being a first round pick doesn't make you good.

Now the clarification...because the coach throws the flag...they can't review it? Un believable.

So what's the strategic takeaway from this episode? If the Lions don't throw the challenge flag, would it have been in Houston's best interest to throw the challenge flag there to ensure the replay doesn't take place and the TD stands?

His offensive line is terrible. His 1st first round receiver is inconsistent as hell. And his Hall-of-Fame TE showed up and has shown up all season.

Also, there's no way Witten gets into the hall of fame. The game has changed too much and he's good but he's not better than Gonzalez and these new tight end super freaks are going to overshadow Witten.

Looked like he deliberately threw the ball when he realized he was going to be stopped short.

It could be many things but you cant put giving up 28 points in the 2nd quarter on Romo.

First round talent doesnt mean first round production either. Felix Jones is at best a 3rd down back, Dez Bryant has a lot of talent but he screws Romo a lot by running poor routes, the Cowboys O-Line has been decimated by injuries but yes Witten is a future Hall of Famer.

Romo has a lot of faults but they tend to surface when the other parts of his teams are so lousy.

Guy won't win a Super Bowl. Whether he is in Dallas, New England, Green Bay or Pittsburgh. He simply doesn't have that "something special".

I guess the offensive line only plays in the second half when Romo has a 99.2 passer rating vs. the first half when he has a 71 rating? His first quarter rating is 63.8.

If Trent Dilfer can win a Super Bowl it should give hope to almost every QB currently playing in the NFL.

According to some Peyton Manning didnt have "something special" until 2006.

Maybe they'll put Tebow in and he'll throw 5 miraculous completions out of 15 passes, all for TD's and then Skip Bayless will explode.
