Can we now officially call Romo a choke artist?

Yeah he's a choker; flash in the pan. Hopefully the media will stop blowing him now and jessica will dump his ass. On the other hand how about TO's postgame interview? I think he needs to be put on suicide watch this offseason.

That's hilarious.

other than not throwing the ball away instead of taking a sack,i thought romo played well.his wrs played like they could'nt find their asses with both hands and a telescope though.maybe it's just me,but i hate the giants almost as bad as i do dallas,and i hope green bay just beats the shit out of them sunday!

I think calling the guy a choke artist after 2 playoffs starts is a little harsh. IMO, both of the games he lost were games that are understandable. The fashion in which they lost them is up for debate, but last year, on the road, they lose to a decent Seattle team. The fumbled snap could have happened to anyone, but it was pretty much all his fault. That's a given, and I honestly can't say I remember how he played in the Seattle game, but that is what most people are going to remember. It is something that shouldn't have happened, but it did and it cost them the game.

As for yesterday, I think a lot of that loss does go on Romo for losing his cool, but that's about as far as I take it as for blaming him. If Patrick Crayton had made that catch over the middle, it changes the entire complexion of the game. If the Dallas defense makes a stop at the end of the first half, I don't think the Giants recover. If Romo got much protection at all during the second half of that game, he probably would have been able to go to work. That was very much a team loss and Dallas (the entire team) didn't look like the team they were early in the year.

Also, it's always tough to beat a divisional opponent, particularly in the NFC East. It's also tough to beat the same team 3 times in one season, those two things alone had me picking the Cowboys to lose the game yesterday. It was gonna be a tough game and the Giants outplayed them overall when it came to making critical plays.

As far as playing poorly down the stretch, I'm not sure what to attribute that to. However, it is consistent with last season when Romo started to look pedestrian. I think the guy is a very good QB in this league, it may take him a while to mature in the playoffs, but the kid can play. I just hope he continues this trend because I never want to see them hoist another Lombardi trophy in big D.

Not sure if I'd call him a choke artise but maybe he should not plan a vacation with the biggest game of his career coming up. I give the win to a hard playing Giants D and an O that did just enough to pull out the win. If you look at Eli's stats in the last couple of games he is peaking at the right time.

Agreed....it's pretty bad when the headlines of the Dallas Morning News names his article after the game "Let the Vacations Begin...oh wait...They Already Have!" No support for Romo....not even in Dallas....at least TO has his back.

I'm not taking anything away from Brady.

I'm just taking things away from Romo.

I think Romo went to Neverland Ranch instead of Mexico....

I think it's a little early to call Romo a choke artist. I hate the guy and his stupid grin, but he's a great QB. Last year was squarely on him. This year, he was okay against the NYG. His receivers dropped a few balls, his top two receivers were less than 100%, his line got tired, and the playcalling was less than spectacular.

Personally I'm hesitant to put him in the great category just yet. He's simply too inconsistent.

Agreed, I'd rank 'em like so:

1) P Manning
2) T Brady
3) B Favre
4) D Brees
5) B Roethlisberger
6) C Palmer
7) T Romo
8) D McNabb
9) M Hasselbeck
10) J Garcia

If you can't make top 5 of active players, you can't be considered GREAT. On that list above, I see 3 great ones. All others are varying degrees of good - very good.

I think we could call the Dallas Cowboys choke artists.

That's right, 12 yrs and running.....

[MTK]

And I should add Romo throws too many picks. He threw 13 last year in little over a half season of work and he tossed 19 in a full season this year.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Most in the league, by the way.
