2014 NFL thread: You kiddin me? Playoffs?

[BatmanVSuperman]

Though a Cowboys fan, it could be a really good SB with GB. A Denver or Pats vs GB Superbowl would be a good watch imo.

I think success under Jerry Jones now will be the worst thing for Dallas. I was hearing it prior to the season. Interviews with Jones, and how he wants to be known as a football guy and it irks him that they attribute the success in the 90s to Johnson and not him.

Any "true Cowboy fan" absolutely despises the ground that man stands on. He is a disgusting fool.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

I did at least appreciate Jones' loyalty to Romo though. I've always said Romo could have an amazing season with a better Defense and O-line. Detractors kept saying he threw late int's and ignored that he had to play from behind in most of those situations. Any QB, even a Brady or Manning will do the same thing. It was great season. 12-4 and a playoff win. Bow to the Romo

That man is only loyal to his bank account.

Romo greatness comes with being asked to do less and toss that ball up to Dez. Putting him in a conversation with the likes of Manning and Brady is where you make it easy to point out his failure. They have had plenty of situations over the years late where they were fighting back and didn't throw stupid picks. Same with the likes of Rodgers, Elway, Montana, etc.

My boy Luck has already shown he is far better at it then Romo.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

They did not have to play from behind as much in a season as Romo. Brady has ended plenty of games when he did have to try and compensate with more risky throws (int's).

And Luck learned it in Texas....

Well, he could have dropped him putting the blame on Romo as an out. He also could have dropped Jason as head coach, which many fans wanted. While he has made a ton of bad decisions, garnered too much control, and forced himself on sidelines...... he actually has shown bits of loyalty here and there. Of course reasons for that loyalty can surely be argued as well

Nice

Explain this chart if they haven't had that many chances to do it.

That is either an insanely good strike rate, or they have had to come back quite a lot.

If Romo had so many chances, you'd expect more actual comebacks if he is as good as you seem to be implying.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

And Luck learned it in Texas....

And like any smart Texas athlete, he got out as soon as he could.

 

[CELTICPRED]

Well, that is something we will never know...

We don't? The Cowboys defense couldn't even stop the packers vanilla offense from running out the clock. I think we know.

Aw, ya got me....

No, we really don't....but that's ok, the game is over.

They have had chances for comebacks, but they haven't been as deep in the hole behind like Romo has with inferior o-line and defense.

Hey, to be fair the Packers could only get 26 points. Not like this was a shootout of epic proportions. Also, easier to move the ball with the lead then without it.

Except Peyton has had some really mediocre to bad defenses and plenty of crap O-lines. I know, I have watched every game he has ever played in the NFL.

And really, do you want to compare deep holes? I suggest looking up a certain Monday Night game against the Bucs.

Romo is a good QB, he isn't that good. Come on.

 

[MrMaooz]

Tell me that dude in the Statefarm commercial ain't Rodgers.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Pretty sure that isn't him, but I am not sure.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Seeing what Romo can do on a better team this year has been great.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Ha ha Luck told him "Good hit!" That's so awesome

 

[DarthSkywalker]

We have the lead. I don't know how, but I am not complaining.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

We have the lead. [BLACKOUT]I don't know how[/BLACKOUT], but I am not complaining.

Luck of course....

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Pfff, all of the Colts wins seem to come from Luck. Can't argue that

I am a Vols fan therefore, I am a big Peyton fan....so many don't necessarily take my resounding statements of his greatness too seriously, and that is ok ...but he is in a category of QB's such as Staubach, Montana, Aikman, and Brady. I say that not in the # of SB rings they have as much as their consistency of play, as well as their undeniable brains of the game. Romo could have a SB ring already, or could have gotten one this year, and I still would not put him in that particular category.

I know some will come back with...."but what about ________________________ and fill in the blank"....and all I can say is, maybe they will in time, OR if they are from the history books of football, then probably as a Dallas fan of decades, I just can't bring myself to put them in that category....lol, I'll admit it.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Romo at Rodgers level though?
