Tony Romo Has Glib Response To Turnovers

I agree with Staubach. Last year who would have thought the 10-6 Giants was going to win the Super Bowl? Eli Manning was having issues during the regular season too. But he showed his best during the POST-SEASON. Not regular season. That's what Romo should be doing too.

Don't panic guys, we will win the Super Bowl. NY is peaking too early and we are finally not. Heck, Giants went 10-6 and won it. They had internal conflicts, struggles from their QB Yada Yada.

November will be our month to get it together. It is all working according to plan. ;-)

1. The win is the only thing that counts. I called it an unimpressive win. You should make it clear next time who you are addressing your comments too. You can't paint us all as the same type of fan that Landry is, and attack us. I won't be really worried until Dallas gets to November. I also stated that its discouraging that the cowboys will have to wait until next month to face the divisional opponents, aka, the real challenges.

2. That's entirely your opinion. I have a different perspective on Romo. And I would expect a fan of a hated rival to share a negative take on our quarterback.

you gotta be shittin me or maybe just in your pants. you guys are winning now, but don't hold your breath, because you guys will fall to earth a hell of a lot harder then we will when your plane runs out of fuel. i look forward to the next meeting we will have. this shit about luck and good bounces???yeah right. a good team wins because they are in the right place at the right time. they win because they over come adversary, not because they don't have any. worried my ass......romo would'nt have gotten to this place in his life if he was'nt serious about what he does on a daily basis.  winning teams put themselves in a place to win and then grab each opportunity when it comes. cinncy did'nt do that thats why they're winless. they got talent, and they could have won that game, but dallas did. and that might be the difference to help us win this division. we play 16, and i would'nt be so quick to crown the skins after just 5

Two things:

1. Yeah you won that game.  Barely. Against a winless team, and only after you pissed yourself when they recovered that on-sides kick and marched down the field.  But for a Chris Perry fumble, a funny bounce, and Patrick Crayton actually making an important catch you guys would have been toast.  How many times can you count on things going your way like that?  You won, but the portent for the future was not good.

2. Tony Romo doesn't seem to take the regular season seriously anymore.  He keeps talking about the superbowl as if he's already guaranteed a spot in the post-season.  Anyone who's not alarmed at nearly coughing up a close game against the Bengals isn't taking their job too seriously. 

I would be worried if I were you guys.  I would be very worried.

kicks, not licks. Or maybe I created a new metaphor

The only SPIN I can put on all this is the past couple of years we played great early in the season only to not play our best late. Maybe struggling early (while winning) is not a bad thing. If the team feels it is not playing its best and then licks it into second gear late maybe the momentum will carry us far. Just my spin

this is the nfl, there is a very fine line between a good team and a bad team. ever hear the phrase "on any given sunday"??? turnovers will hurt you anytime. but you can't beat yourself up over them to the point that they affect your ability to come back from them. romo's point was, and is with most QBs in the nfl, you gotta have a short memory when it comes to mis-cues or it'll eat you up. learn from them, don't dwell on them, and go on. ask chris perry if he's still thinking of five fumbles in five games. 2 plays after he fumbled he was running the football again, and tighter to the body. it's about getting past them to temper the metal.....be stronger....and learn from them

You can mistakes against bad teams like the Bungles and win, but you can't afford turnovers against good teams. It usually kills you.

i feel for tony romo.....man he gives it all.... at first i was scepticle when he replaced bledsoe. but he has won me over. one of the greatest self proclaimed cowboy fans on the face of the earth, i back him. he's a good kid, a damn good football player, a star-struck lover, a small town boy thrust into the limelite of being the dallas cowboy QB. HE'S BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF FANTASTIC AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED......davedallasfan

yeah, Joseph, i agree with you, but the real sick thing is we did'nt lose. we beat the bengals. so why the bashing......we did'nt play a perfect game........ but we won. we're still a half a game back from N.Y. tied with wash, record wise, and 2 up on philly in the toughest division in football......what else do they want?????

Did you hear what Tony said AFTER his response that you criticized? "If you don't win pretty around here, somehow it's not a positive. At the end of the year, its still going to be a W."

It's the first week of October. You're aware of that, correct?

And as for my first comment, that should read "Those fans are still upset at the Redskins loss and clearly weren't thinking before they sent those comments." Sorry for the mix up.

All five comments are ridiculous. Those fans are upset at the loss and clearly weren't thinking before they sent those comments.

as i think about these comments several other great comments come to my mind; first, someone that just lost a ball game must have said, "it's not all about winning, it's how you play the game." to that i say, bullshit. i think of vince lombardi's great phrase. "winning is'nt everything, it's the only thing." i think of roger staubach who once said, "as a military man i realize that at the cost of winning comes a great sacrifice and the drive to do what ever it takes to succeed, if you believe that you must win. it's about believing you can." tom landry once said., "those that seek out perfection in what they strive for will soon be looking at a pile of rubble at their feet." tom knew this because he above evryone else always sought out perfection in every football game he coached, but finally found out that it was just the win that mattered......come on people. as much as we all hate al davis, he may have coined the greatest phrase of all time....."just win, baby".......lets cut our boys some slack, they're winners

can anyone disagree with these fans comments? yeah, i can. i think romo is well aware of his mistakes and the impact they could have on his team. but when your're an all out competitor like he is mistakes are inevitable. yeah, he should tuck the ball away when he runs, but if he can spot an open man down field he'll need to release fast, thus the way he handles the ball on some occassions. i think personally the comments that romo was making is just to say" fuck you we won the game did'nt we"??? which is precisely what i'd like to say too. we've seen in the past what the constant barage of the press can do to owens? dissecting every damn word from his mouth and creating a fucking frankenstien out of him. romo is getting the same shit. and i as a cowboy fan am not going to be one to shove it up his ass. i love the competitiveness romo displays. the job of a real pro is to find away to overcome your mistakes. that is what he's done in the past, and what i believe in a sence he's trying to say with the comments. he's young, he's human, and he's got assholes barrin down on him at every turn. personally i think he's handled it pretty well so far. the press would love nothing better then to see this team crumble from within. well my advice to you real cowboy fans, is don't be part of it. yeah be worried when you see situations occur, but i trust in the coaching staff we have to make the right adjustments to correct pattern mistakes. they're paid well to do so. stickup for our team once in a while and don't bash them like the press at every opportunity there is. is that being a true fan???????

Romo's hero is Brett Favre.  He grew up emulating him, and he ACTUALLY DOES play a lot like Favre.  Favre has the all time TD record, and he ALSO has the interception record.  Romo of late just doesn't seem the same though.  He SUCKED the entire Redskins game.  He was EXACTLY Chad Pennington out there.  This game, it looked like he got the "zip" on the ball back, but still looked out of it. 

IF, and that's a big IF, he can LEARN from the mistakes (like the way he held the ball when scrambling, and easily having it punched out) then its better to get it out of the way now, and be this year's Giants.  The interceptions are going to be there regardless because he is Favre-like, but if throws for 3-4 TDs AND we have 1-2 more rushing TDs, AND we counter Romo's interceptions with a couple of our own throughout the game, then it will be OK if he has one EVERY game.

As for his attitude towards it... That is how he is.  Compare to Hines Ward who is smiling his ass off no matter what just happened (he could make a one handed game-winning catch, or he could have just fumbled and cost them the game)... I still think Romo's attitude is better than that retard Eli Manning's, and he just won a Superbowl with that personality....  An example where Romo's attitude is a curse and a blessing is last years Bills game.  If he wasn't so nonshalaunt, he probably wouldn't have thrown 5 INTs and had a fumble, but if he wasn't the way he is, he wouldn't be able to OVERCOME 6 turnovers, and still lead the last drive into field goal range for the win.
