Tony Romo Fan Blog

With his first full regular season complete, Tony Romo has compiled an impressive resume of stats, that would leave most seasoned quarterbacks with their mouths watering. If it wasn’t for the phenomenal seasons that veteran legends Tom Brady and Brett Favre had this season, Tony would easily have been the number one ranked quarterback this year. My hats off to those two phenomenal players, but lets remember, this is Romo’s first full season, and he is already near the top! There hopefully will be many, many seasons to be the top QB in the league…

At any rate, I have compiled Tony Romo’s impressive stats over the past 16 games, and it is very, very impressive:

• 335/520 Completion vs. Attempts
• 64.5% Completion Percentage
• 4211 Total Yards
• 8.1 Yards Per Attempt
• 36 Passing Touchdowns
• 19 Interceptions (5 in one game)
• Sacked 24 times
• 97.4 Quarterback Rating

Take away those 5 interceptions from the Buffalo Bills’ game (in which the Cowboys still amazingly won) and these stats are thru the roof. Even the non-Cowboys fans will have to agree that this is a superior performance by basically a ‘rookie’.

After a sluggish ending to an illustrious season, Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys now know they will be playing the New York Giants for a a 3rd time this year. The Cowboys have beaten the Giants twice in the regular season, but now will be playing them for all of the marbles in a NFC divisional playoff game.

This will be no easy tasks, as the Giants have proven to be a tough competitor, and they have improved late in the season. Dallas has outscored New York to a tune of 76-55, which to me is not a real comfortable margin. As you can see, these two games have been anything but a defensive struggle.

Tony Romo comes into this game with with a very impressive resume against the Giants this season in their two outings. He has completed 66% of his passes, for a whopping 638 yards, with 8 touchdown passes, and only 2 interceptions!

Needless to say, it looks like Romo has the Giants’ number thus far this season, but being a pessimist, I think it is safe to say that anything is possible, and that both teams are coming into this game with a 0-0 record and a 0-0 starting score. The past is the past, and I hope Tony and the Cowboys don’t let the 2 wins have their guards down.

Eli manning is a hot and cold quarterback, and if he comes in hot, this will be a very tough game, but I still think Romo has the edge as a quarterback, and should be able to help take the Dallas Cowboys to the NFC Title game.

Game starts at 4:30 pm EST on Sunday January 14th on FOX.

GO COWBOYS!
