And that other QB went on to lose a total of 8 playoff games to date.
But he has also won 9 playoff games, a Super Bowl, and 4 NFL MVP's.
....yeah Peyton Manning.

After Peytons first 3 playoff losses, people said the same thing about him that you are saying about Romo, he will never win the big game, he won't get it done.

It is way to early to judge that.

Well this is where expectations are very different between the Colts (during those three playoff losses) and the Cowboys. The Cowboys are a big market team, with a lot of true/dedicated fans, and a lot of bandwagon fans that make them more noticeable than the Colts back then. I would say right now that the Colts are noticeable because of Manning and not just because they are the Colts. In the end, Indianapolis is not as big of a market as Dallas, Washington, and New York. A QB for the Cowboys, Redskins, Giants, and Jets will always have an added level of pressure that small markets team don't have (except maybe Pittsburgh and Green Bay).
