yeah, one bad game and he's the equal of 30 bad games Rexy's turned in.
Solid contribution to the board.
In a tale of HEART AND DETERMINATION after 5 int, 1 fumble Tony Romo leads the Dallas Cowboys in a remarkable comeback in one of the greatest games on Monday Night Football. With less than 30 seconds to go Tony Romo throws a bullet TD pass to Patrick Crayton to put the game at 22-24. With Buffalo leading, the 2pt conversion failed followed by an onside kick recovered by the Cowboys. Romo then strikes two more passes to setup a 51 yrd field goal for the win only because posters at the Shark Pool has suddenly become The Panic Pool.
The million dollar question. Has Rex Grossman ever pulled a comeback like this? The answer is a big IN YOUR FACE "NO".
Goodnight The Panic Pool from Buffalo.

Romo is a class act. I liked his interview after the game. You can tell why his team fights so hard for him no matter what.
Oh, and to the OP ...

I had Grossman last year and there were weeks where he scored me negative points. As bas a night as Romo had, he still put up more points this week (12.15) than Brees, V. Young, Hasselbeck, Kitna, McNair, Schaub, Cutler, Pennington, Dilfer, and Harrington. So please, let's not forget just how asstastic Grossman has been.

i think he made those back and then some by show the resiliency necessary to be a great QB (not that he is, yet.). you don't know much about a QB until you see how they handle themselves when everything goes wrong. i don't know how good he'll end up, but tonight was a big step in the right direction (and it will cost jerry a few more million).skn257 said:

This is Grossman's "second" season (clipboard, blown knee, broken ankle, super bowl, bench)He hasn't had 30 games and his accolades prior to last year's Miami game were louder than Romo's yesterday.So sorry to hurt your feelings but, Romo did suck at the end of last year.MSULions said:yeah, one bad game and he's the equal of 30 bad games Rexy's turned in.Solid contribution to the board.

I'm just noting a similarity. See the question marks. And, while I wish he would figure out how to wear a hat correctly and am nowhere near believing he can carry Roger Staubach's jock, I'm rooting for him.I even like TOGood thread.

He won the NFL's offensive player of the month September of '06. Go look at his numbers at the beginning of last year. Do you follow anything but Cowboy's games?Louder where?

I know, I know, quarterbacks get too much blame but the pokes lost to New Orleans, Philadelphia & Detroit over they're last 4 games in '06. The point being that it wasn't like the midseason streak he put together.Are you talking about his performance in the PRO BOWL?This is Grossman's "second" season (clipboard, blown knee, broken ankle, super bowl, bench)He hasn't had 30 games and his accolades prior to last year's Miami game were louder than Romo's yesterday.MSULions said:yeah, one bad game and he's the equal of 30 bad games Rexy's turned in.

He wasn't too hot in week 16, and fumbled a bit in week 17. Then the playoffs.So saying he sucked isn't fair. He didn't do too well, but he was far from the suck.Are you talking about his performance in the PRO BOWL?This is Grossman's "second" season (clipboard, blown knee, broken ankle, super bowl, bench)He hasn't had 30 games and his accolades prior to last year's Miami game were louder than Romo's yesterday.MSULions said:yeah, one bad game and he's the equal of 30 bad games Rexy's turned in.

Yeah, he might have been behind Ladanian Tomlinson after 4 weeks last year -- then again, maybe not. Of course last year he might have been behind McNabb after 4 weeks but, I'm sure none of you guys remember that either.

Actually this is pretty darn close to coming true.......I give you credit. There's some thread around here where I predicted Dallas would win 27-24, point being many including fans of the Cowboys felt this was a trap game.To be honost, I'm pretty much in shock that Dallas won with Romo having 5 turnovers......that's just ridiculous.On the other hand, I'm also in shock that Dallas almost lost to a team that scored just 3 points on offense. Then you'd think to yourself......did that team have the No.1 Defense in the league then to win? Answer would be no, it was the 32nd.*scratches head* Very strange game but certainly an entertaining one.Paddy O said:
I think it was a very good example of, on some level at least, The Cowboys looking through this game. They had to be thinking about The Patriots a bit. If they play even close to tonite's level next week they are going to get destroyed.

Last year at Minny, 1st half Rex throws a pick 6. Late in the game, drives down the Bears and throws a winning TD pass to R. Davis.Pigskins said:

I don't even want to think of that score if they do.It's not even the entire team that played bad........my report card!Romo; D- Was failing into the 4th quarter with an F but with the game on the line he scored a TD. Then with 20 seconds after the recovered onside kick he didn't mess it up and completed two passes on the sidelines to give his kicker a shot. Squeaked out a passing grade with some extra credit at the end.Julius/Barber: C- I thought the running game most of the night was pretty insignificant. Julius Jones looked average and Barber was held in check but did make some nice catches and hard runs when they needed him.Terell Owens: F Didn't make a play. Not only didn't he make a play, he dropped some balls that weren't really easy, but makeable and would have made things easier for Dallas if he had.Witten: A The guy owns the middle of the field. He catches, he doesn't fumble, he falls forward.....Witten is a stud.Crayton: A- Very solid effort. That hurdle towards the end of the first half was pretty awesome. He also made a few other catches and I noticed he lowered his shoulders and delivered a hit rather than just take one. Throwing him the ball for the TD to get Dallas within 2 points shows us how much confidence Romo has in him.Folk: A+++++ Are you kidding me? He was solid all game long leading up until the big moment. His career long is 47 yards, which was made earlier that night and now he's asked to kid a 53 yarder. He boots it straight down the middle only to find out the Bills called time out. He has to kick it again.........he has to kick his career long field goal AGAIN with the game on the line and boots it thru the middle. Wow is all I can say.Dallas Defense: B I thought in the first half they looked kind of week. The pass rush wasn't coming, I saw some mistackles by some linebackers and Buffalo was holding their own. In the 2nd half, they shut Buffalo down and in the end, only gave up 3 points. Overall solid effort.Coaching: B The reason Dallas was down wasn't because of coaching. The play calling was pretty good throughout the night and time managment towards both ends of the halves were pretty solid.

I wish. Brady's 4 INT MNF game at Miami in 2004 cost me my FF playoff game.

Ya, you're right. 5 picks and that fumble. I will say this too, all 5 were his fault and so was the fumble. Sometimes we can play a receiver because he dropped it or tipped it to a defender but those were on Romo.

Good marks,Stupid Cowboys
I'm hoping they look through the Redskins later this season and we put you guys down. If both teams keep playing at their current levels could be a real nice game.This game was very similar to the Monday Night Football "They are who we thought they were" game, Bears/Cardinals. Obviously, Romo appears to be much better than Grossman, and while the Bears beat the Cards despite Grossman, you get the feeling that wasn't the case here.
Romo DID get off to a hot start last year and then regressed somewhat, it will be interesting to see how he looks next week vs NE. He seems to get too "up" for the big games and has to settle down.

We don't put enough value in motivation and too much in numbers at times:1. First time on Monday Night in 12 or 13 yrs2. They had the special ceremony with Thurman T.3. Pulled out a trick play to start the game that actually worked4. Great Fan base5. A 4-0 Cowboy team we motivate a pee-wee league6. This was a setup game and they grew up last nigt.

Week 13: 257yds 0TDs 2int
Week 14: 249yds 1TD 2int
Week 15: 278yds 2TD 1int
Week 16: 142yds ITD 2int (This sucks, but it's Philly)
Week 17: 321yds 2TD 1int
So outside of the Philly game do you really consider All the other games as "Suck?"
I'm not sure why you have this desire to continue to put your foot in your mouth.

Some people REALLY do not want Romo to succeed....they will continue to be disappointed.
I think we call them "haters".
He had a horrible game, BUT did make enough plays at the end of the game to give Folk a chance.
Hooray for ROMO!

In one of my leagues, no negative points for INTs, yardage bonus, distance scoring, Romo put up more points last night than Brees has all year long.That performance was more Favre than Grossman. I've seen plenty Favre pick fests too. Romo forced some things, made some bad reads, but still hung in there to give his team a chance to win. I've never seen Grossman hang in there and come back from turnovers like that. I think that fumbled snap in the playoffs helped to toughen Romo up mentally. This game should also go a long way to help his confidence.stugnut said:
