Can we now officially call Romo a choke artist?

He definitely had help, but he makes some really bad decisions at times. He's kind of a gunslinger like Favre was in the 90s, but without as good of a supporting cast to make up for his bad choices.

To compare Romo to Brett Favre is a real slap in the face to knowledgable football people. He can't even carry Favre's jockstrap. Favre's a future HOF'er and Romo may end up being a flash in the pan.

100% agree!

Well, that's an intelligent post.

There's a difference between comparing styles of play and the actual play itself. "Knowledgable" sports fans know that.

I don't think he choked and I absolutely don't think the weekender in Cabo negatively affected the game. The problem is they had little to play for in the closing weeks and nothing to play for in week 17. The problem is they listened to the media talk about how good they were (especially Romo) and they coasted through December. Then, when it came time to flip the switch back into "all out effort" mode, they couldn't. For this reason if no other, Belicheck is a great coach and leader. Can you imagine the Pats ever feeling okay after a whooping like the one the Skins gave Dallas?

He DEFINITELY had help. The Cowboys were penalized 11 times for 84 yards. There were multiple drops. Gurode, who somehow is a probowler, couldn't snap the ball in the shotgun to save his life.

On a day where the Cowboys ran the ball 33 times for 154 yards and a TD, Romo had 201 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 INT. Not awesome, but not horrible. Those 201 yds could have easily been 301 if not for the dropped balls. And the pick wasn't necessarily a bad choice. He had no room to run, and it was 4th and 11. What was he supposed to do, throw it out of bounds? He had to try to make something happen.

I know, I know, it sounds like I'm a Romo apologist. Absolutely not. I just think the team as whole choked, from coaches all the way down. Not just Romo. I do fault him for getting pretty frazzled there at the end though.

Romo=Linda Lovelace

Tony was forcing at the end of the game. On plays where he should've thrown the ball away, he held onto it and tried his best to make a play. And of course, over throwing his WRs and throwing into double (maybe triple) coverage on that last play. Maybe it was the playcalling, but Tony didn't have to go for all the marbles, he could've gotten the first down and maybe had time for one last play.

I think Romo had come unglued. Sure, he had help with some dropped passes (Crayton) but he certainly didn't help matters toward the end of the game.

I'd like to think we broke them in the last week of the season. I will say that Dallas fans stepped up huge when Sean was killed. They really showed so much class and I will never forget it.

I think they were out of timeouts at that point, so the call may have been to go end zone at all costs. Who knows. Game on the line, though, he certainly wasn't making great choices.

That's why when people say the last game is meaningless, that's a bunch of hog wash! Especially when the last game of the season is against your divisional rival AND your rival is playing to secure a spot in the playoffs. We beat up their starters and took it out on their backups in the fourth quarter. I don't care what state of mind they were in in that last game. I believe they went into the playoffs feeling a bit vulnerable.
