Romo is 0-5 in the playoffs.

Not happening

Hey guys, I'm new to fannation.

"Romo is 0-5 in the playoffs."

Wow. He is? How does one go 0-5 in 2 games, exactly?

"Wow. He is? How does one go 0-5 in 2 games, exactly?"

When you count college, which some people do, like when they say Philip Rivers has never had a losing season (and that goes back to high school)

Damn Romo gets credit for 5 losses in just two playoff games that is impressive

He

He must suck bad to do that. I guess by that thinking Jim Kelly is actually 0-10 in Super Bowls

"He must suck bad to do that. I guess by that thinking Jim Kelly is actually 0-10 in Super Bowls"

****. Fannations had a story on this, don't you remember?

If you're going for sarcasm you fail terribly. It really just makes you look stupid

"When you count college"

Give me a freakin' break. He was in Div 2. And an undrafted free agent, at that. I'm pretty sure you know absolutely nothing about his college or their competition beyond the 0-3 crap you spew.

Now, just for the hell of it, let's dispute the NONSENSE that he LOST those two playoff games.

In the Seattle game, the flubbed snap never should have happened. See, the play before was CLEARLY a first down pass to Jason Witten. NOBODY disputes this, but since it wasn't reviewed... Bad ruling by the ref resulted in 4th down.

Now, on to the snap...it wasn't snapped to him, it was snapped to his right. The K-ball was extremely slick and he mishandled it while trying to put it down. SHOCK. Not to mention that he had NO BUSINESS handling kicks in the first place. Blame Parcells for that one. He had too much respect for Bledsoe to sent HIM out there to do the job typically held by the backup QB.

And the Giants game? Pfft. Romo threw -at least- three passes that would have won that game but his teammate(s) let him down by not catching them/not finishing their route.

Blaming Romo for either loss is to know NOTHING about football.

"Give me a freakin' break. He was in Div 2. And an undrafted free agent, at that. I'm pretty sure you know absolutely nothing about his college or their competition beyond the 0-3 crap you spew."

He was a Div I-AA (hey get your facts right eh? LOL) playing against equally "talented" Div 1-AA opponents. What can't I say? Equal level of competion, and apparently Romo was quite a good QB at Eastern Illinois.

If people could rag on Peyton Manning for never winning the big one (before he did), and use his career at Tennessee as an example (where he never beat Florida), why can't people say Romo has terrible postseason success and ALSO reference his postseason record there?

"And the Giants game? Pfft. Romo threw -at least- three passes that would have won that game but his teammate(s) let him down by not catching them/not finishing their route."

Yet over the ENTIRE course of the game Romo played terrible, completing ONLY half his passes

Oh, Parcells retired from coaching because he realized he was far too loyal to vets. What other coach in NFL HISTORY would have put his STARTING QB out there to hold for a kick in that situation? Making Romo hold was both a nod to the Veteran Bledsoe and a way to tell the kid "you ain't done nothing yet". It was beyond absurd and I guarantee that for the rest of his life Big Bill will regret putting Romo in that situation to begin with, no matter how well or not so well Tony's career turns out.

"Yet over the ENTIRE course of the game Romo played terrible, completing ONLY half his passes"

Yeah, that happens when you have a thumb injury on your throwing hand and your best receiver is playing with a high ankle sprain. Geez.

"and apparently Romo was quite a good QB at Eastern Illinois."

I'm pretty sure he wasn't good enough to get drafted, right?

"If people could rag on Peyton Manning for never winning the big one (before he did), and use his career at Tennessee as an example (where he never beat Florida), why can't people say Romo has terrible postseason success and ALSO reference his postseason record there?"

I guess people can "rag on" whatever they want but I'm pretty sure there is a significant difference between the NUMBER ONE PICK IN THE DRAFT and an undrafted free agent.

"Yet over the ENTIRE course of the game Romo played terrible, completing ONLY half his passes"

I also forgot to mention that THREE of those passes were dropped. Romo's fault? And that On the most critical play he receiver cut the route short on what would have been a game winning TD.

See, it's you FOOLS who just look at box scores that are completely clueless.The Romo bobbled snap never should have happened as EVERYONE agrees the play before was a 1st down. And Romo actually threw THREE passes in the Giants game that SHOULD have been TD's only to get screwed by his receivers. To Blame Romo for that is beyond absurd.

HA! Love your stats

For those who don't know, the play before in the Seattle game was initially ruled a first down. The booth reviewed and for some UNKONWN reason changed the spot of the ball. Replays clearly show the original spot was correct. But all anyone remembers from that game was the bothched snap.
