    I can't emotionally handle the AFC East right now. I don't know who is what, but I do know the Patriots need to get something better than their smoke and mirrors defense/offense going. Why is everyone injured everywhere? These guys need to start doing more yoga or something.

    Decent is a stretch. He threw several passes that weren't touchdowns, and barely cracked 500 yards.

    If you put 48 points on the board and do not win, I think you're legally allowed to shit in every defensive player's locker.

    Romo's play wins any other game besides this one. You replace Romo with any other QB in any other game and its a win. End of story. That's the end of the Romo conversation right there.

    You replace Romo with almost any other QB and the Cowboys lose 48-17.

    You replace Romo with Peyton, then switch stadiums, then replace the rest of the Cowboys with the rest of the Broncos, and I guess the coaches too, then this is basically the same game but in another universe or maybe this one I'm not really sure how multiverse theory works

    Yep. Not even 'Sack could go on a Romo hating tirade after that.

    Looks like my post was unclear about Romo. If you replace any quarterback on any other team, with Romo and his performance, that team wins the game. I.E. you replace Romo with Tom Brady, Patriots win, you replace Romo with Russell Wilson, Seahawks win. You replace Romo with any QB in his game, its as what MC said, a blowout.

    Speaking of replacing things, you might want to replace "replace with" with "substitute for."

    Must take some sense of entitlement. He's literally the best QB you've ever had, you fucking goombas.

    Maybe they can get Tebow...

    You're right, he really called a shitty game on defense and played terrible at safety...oh wait. Its unbelievable that you, and other jackoffs in the media, can find a way to pin that game on him. And bringing up a play from 7 fucking years ago in his first season as a starter. Quite relevant.

    Listen, fuck the Cowboys, and Romo is whatever, but he's yet to play for a competent coach post-Parcells. He's not Peyton Manning or Brady, but he still has more Pro Bowls than all the QBs, combined, for your Bengals in the last 15 years. I'd much rather have him as my QB than Trent Dilfer 2.0, Mr. Joe Flacco. But his name rhymes with Homo! HAHAHAH. Nevermind, everything is justified now with cleverness like that.

    Maybe he can get it 'Sack, just like you gained the WILL TO PEE STANDING again.

    It still amazes me how utterly ignorant you are. I suppose it shouldn't at this point, but it does.

    "Will to win"? What kind of rah-rah bullshit are you going on about? You realize that 95% of these elite athletes are out these busting their ass to win right? I wouldn't expect some gangly scarecrow looking bumble fuck to understand given that your baseline for physical activity is becoming winded playing golf, but yes, they do all "play to win". Are you referring to his playoff exits? By that metric Dan Marino, Dan Fouts, Fran Tarkenton, Barry Sanders, Bruce Smith and a number of other Hall of Famers didn't have the "will to win". Do everyone a favor, sit in the corner and stop spewing stupid.

    I was pissed off about it as a Cowboys fan because it seems like this always happens but seriously though if you play 58 minutes of a game and pass for 500+ yards and a bunch of TDs, you shouldn't have to be putting the team on your shoulders in the last 2 minutes. You already carried them for 58 minutes. The Broncos never even punted. The D played atrociously.

    I'm sorry but isn't all of that the QB's job in the first place? I think so. Actually winning the game would be the only difference.

    Uh, no. No it's not. The QB's responsibility is to do the best job he can. It's not to throw the team on his shoulders and carry them to victory.

    Yes, the quarterback has a greater role and a more central responsibility than a lot of players on the field, but it's ridiculous to expect that he's just going to solely compensate for a defense getting torched time after time, or bad blocking, or whatever else.

    Well that's funny because all of the successful QB's so far this season have done that. My bad.

    I was commenting on the offense not the defense. Thought that was obvious.

    I disagree - many other QBs, like Peyton, are doing it with a really great cast of supporting characters. Tom Brady is probably shouldering his team but he's getting good takeaways on the defensive side and is barely eeking out games anyway. Kansas City is undefeated because their defense is a terror. Same with the Seahawks. NO has a sneaky good defense, especially getting pressure, Jimmy Graham is a superstar, and Darren Sproles is a lightning bolt who can work both running and receiving.

    In any event, "carrying the team" includes defense - the implication being that Romo's performance is making up for the total inability to get a stop on the other side of the football. If you can toss a 5:1 TD:INT ratio in a game and scorch the other team for 500+ yards, that's it, you've done your job. Your job doesn't include never throwing an interception. If that performance results in a loss, that's on the defense - they aren't doing their job.
