hell, when I lived in Dallas, the people who hated Romo the most were Cowboys fans

as a Chiefs fan, that made me want to puke

...we could only be so lucky to some day stumble into a freaking Tony Romo

My cousin is a Cowboys fan and is the same way. He looks at me crazy when I say I'll take Romo anyday. I don't even give a **** that he's 35.

Tony Romo is just a great QB. Bails out the Cowboys quite often every season. Just unfortunate not to have played his career with a better organization.

Again, the point is ...

if you are a yard away from victory, and you think the best way to get that victory is to pass the ball so that NONE OF THESE FLUKE things could prevent you from a well deserved victory ...

there is nothing wrong with calling that pass play

for a board that loathed Herm Edwards and Romeo Crennell ... we sure have a bunch of ****ing Herm's around here

Attempting to pass it is fine. But Eli throwing it away instead of taking the sack was a pretty big mistake. You never know what's going to happen, but it should have been the clock running or a throw at a pretty high percentage target as you said.

They mentioned taking a knee to Coughlin after the game and he almost seemed surprised about the question for a second. Perhaps it's me reading into it, but I'm not sure that even went through his mind. Maybe I'm dead wrong. But as Reid shows, sometimes for the endless stuff coaches know, clock management alludes them no matter the experience.

The fact that he was an UDFA is also often overlooked.
Eli was selected first overall.

UDFA from Northern Illinois? I forget the school.

In big games... I'm not sure that most of Cowboys' nation shares that sentiment. I guarantee you 98% of the real fans were doubting that win happens on the final drive.

Mother****er drove them down with 0 timeouts, no Dez Bryant and like 1:17 on the clock.

Yeah, I think we all saw that.... I live in Dallas and I can assurer you (based on comments from a few dozen friends) that none of them expected him to do that, esp without Dez.

Poor Browns fans having another Jersey burning this morning

I fell asleep thinking the game was over with 6 minutes left.

I woke up right when Romo threw the game winning TD.

Thought I was dreaming. I rewatched the last 5 minutes and saw that Romo was fantastic while the Manning went full reerun.

Sack City is real.

My cousin was a huge Cowboys fan. He disowned them when they signed Romo long term. I told him, "Would rather have Cassel?", no response after that.

If that's the case, most Cowboys fans don't have a ****ing clue how good they have it at the QB position. The guy has more 4th Q game winning drives than anybody in the sport since he entered the league. As soon as the Giants kicked that FG, a Dallas TD was very much a possibility.
