Tony Romo Fan Blog

Well, what a way to end a 13-3 top seed season. Unfortunately, the last play of the game ends up being an interception on Tony Romo’s part, which brings back flashbacks of last season’s muffed fieldgoal attempt…

I really don’t know what happened the last few games this year. The Cowboys went from being a “Patriots Like” machine, to just an average team. It is rare that you see a team get healthier as the season goes, but yet play worse. One would think with weapons like T.O., Terry Glenn, Jason Witten and Marion Barber, that this team would be unstoppable.

I know every dog has it’s day, but other than one drive, New York was less than impressive. I would have thought that the Giants would have had to bring their best game, but that was not the case.

I think the Cowboys were complacent again, which seems to be the the theme when they play at home. The Cowboys this season were 7-1 on the road, and 6-3 at home, which is kinda weird.

Another oddity are the stats. Dallas dominated time of posession, yardage, especially rushing and first downs. Tony Romo’s stats were not super impressive, but still completed 50% of his passes, with a touchdown and one pick, which is at the end of the game.

I blame this loss on a team that was just not prepared. There were quite a few missed tackles, dropped passes, and horrible 3rd down penalties. It looks like Wade Phillips needs to go back to the basics in training camp. As ironic as the New England Patriots’ dream season continues as possibly one of the best teams ever seen, the Dallas Cowboy season, may as well go down as one of the biggest downsets ever seen. What a strange season this has been.

As disapointing as it all may be, Cowboy fans have a lot to be proud of. An overall 13-4 season is rare, and many teams have never seen, or will never see, a 13 win season.

Let’s go Cowboys, next season is right around the corner!

Well the big game is upon us as the New York Football Giants are heading down to “Big D” this weekend to play in the divional playoffs.

Much to the shagrin of the Giants, and relief to all the Cowboy fans, Tony Romo’s girlfriend, Jessica Simpson will not be attending the game in person, and will safely be watching from afar.

This is a huge plus for those Cowboy fans who believe in carma, bad luck, omens, black magic or anything else that can negatively sway a football game.

It certainly looks like the twelfth man, errr, I mean woman, will definately be on Dallas’ side this weekend.

Don’t get me wrong, the Giants are a strong team, who almost beat the New England Patriots a few weeks ago. The playoff game will be tough enough, but the fact that this is an inter-divisional playoff game, makes it even more of a challenge. Everybody knows that when teams from the same division play each other, it always seems like they play each other just a little bit harder, and upsets are a dime a dozen…

Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington and New York are all rivals, and already play each other twice a year, so they all know each other quite well, and they are always looking to upset the other team’s year.

So to Dallas and Tony Romo, good luck this weekend. It looks like we are off to a good start already!

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!
