Good Romo / Bad Romo


Recommended Posts

Bad Romo = Still got the job done.

 

 

Bad Romo was better than Bad Rex.... but after that game the luster of Rex's fast start wore off and teams started to really challenge him.

 

Romo is more mobile and has better weapons.... but the Patriots are going to be biggest test of his career.... 4/5 ints is a possibility next week too.

I think he is entitled to a bad game. I don't know why there seems to be so much hatred towards him in this thread. I suppose because he gets a ton of press but let's not be so quick to assume he will continue with this type of play.

Get Kornheiser off these games. It's a terrible rule to call a timeout to ice the kicker? What a douche!

 

I agree with him on this. It's not about icing the kicker. Icing the kicker is calling a timeout to make them think about it a little bit. Now coaches wait till the last millisecond so the other team ends up kicking twice. It's getting really old. They need to take control of this.

Jauron needs axed tonight he is the worst head coach I have EVER seen!

 

Except that Jauron is the best coach the Bills have had since Wade Phillips. There's some direction and a voice for a second straight year. Even if they are 1-4, they've lost two games on last second field goals; so long as Marv Levy and company can get more talent on the field, the Bills will be fine within the next few years. I love the direction the team is heading, and it appears they have a couple pieces at pivotal spots in QB and HB, so long as these last 3 games or so from Edwards haven't just been apparitions, because he has looked absolutely fantastic. Get a few receivers, build up a nice front 7 on defense, and they'll be on their way.

Buffalo played a lot of deep zone and loaded up on coverage on Romo's favorite receiver in Witten from what I've read. Romo finally spreaded the ball around late and it paid dividends.

 

So that's what he's gotta do next week. If he focuses on 1 guy against the Pats, it could be ugly again.

It's going to be ugly no matter what. I don't think you realize how good the Patriots are.

Yeah, I can't believe there are commentators and people out there who honestly think the Patriots first loss has a good chance of occurring against Dallas. Who will beat NE? I don't know. It very well might be someone I didn't expect, or anyone else. But I doubt it's Dallas. I'd guess someone like, say, Pittsburgh. But not Dallas.

I say nobody beat NE this year. 19-0 and i stand by it. But I could see them losing a game they shouldn't. Hard to be "on" for 19 straight games without a let down.

I like how the guy had 5 picks and a lost fumble and yet during one of the last drives the announcers kept saying, this is what QBing is all about.

 

Really? I didnt know playing horrible was what it was all about?

 

Romo is the new Brett Favre for the announcers.

Except Favre at 38 hasn't even played as bad as Romo did in that game. Romo had more int's in that game than Favre has all year.

duuuuuuude, im pretty sure Favre threw 6 INTs in a game a few years ago...

 

yes. in the playoffs against Saint Loo a few years back. But you're right, he's never played that bad...

The good Romo/bad Romo Rex reference died on the last 2 drives when, unlike Rex, he overcame his mistakes and led his team to victory. The thing with Rex is he is mentally very weak, I have yet to see him ever have a game where something went wrong and he came back to help his team overcome it and win. As we saw last year, anytime the Bears won during one of Rex's bad games, it was due to the special teams and defense (SEE: game at Arizona and vs. Minnesota at Soldier Field). Romo managed to have a respectable 30 for 50 night and 302 yards, while leading his team to a TD and field goal inside 2 minutes to win the game in a hostile road enviornment. Almost NOBODY would have the stones to be able to come back and do that after turning it over 6 times, however Romo does, as has Favre his entire career, and that is where the comparisions come in. Nobody is saying Romo is Favre, they are just saying he has a lot of similar traits to Brett Favre circa 1994, and that is a fair point.

See how he bounces back from adversity when he is playing a competent defense, head coach.

 

Belicheck is not Jauron, and Adalius Thomas isnt Terreance McGee.

 

If the media gets on Romo like they did Rex..... he will falter too.

Even Rex Grossman can throw the ball in prevent defense. All you have to do is look at the Superbowl last year.

 

Problem is, the Bills weren't up by like 21 points; they were up by 1 score and doing their best not to lose the game.
