But the quarterback's job is to win big January games, regardless. That failure makes him a failure, regardless of events from September through November. And for whatever reason, Romo seemed tentative most of the afternoon

I understand losing is hard, really hard especially when you have life long fans as reporters, but this little article pulls no punches. I wonder what would happen in Wisconsin if a reporter got this ballsy with Packers after a tough playoff loss. -

Thats is a brutal editorial. I'm not sure why the writer is so suprised that this happened given the way the Cowboys played in December and Wade Phillips' winless record as a head coach in the playoffs.To much of a good thing is an awesome thing

Yeah, he gets a penalty for piling on. Hey, it's understandable to be disappointed, but there was nothing in his article to give credit to the Giants, which I thought was immature. I'm guessing this guy is either fairly young and has yet to appreciate that the other team can beat you if you don't play an entire game and if they out-scheme you, or he's just such a myopic homer that he feels like he has the right to bash his home town team.
I'm not taking up for them. Everyone has injuries, but they had some significant enough ones down the stretch. If you get a QB with a sore thumb out of rhythm and throwing on the run, I don't think all of his throws are going to be good. Give the Giants credit for making it happen.
I listened to the Dallas post game show and Jason Garrett repeatedly said, in the second half, we had bad down and distances that put us at a disadvantage for conversions. I think that's a great point.
Writers like these may be truthy, but I think it's excessive. The 'Boys had a nice season, but it's one and done and every team but one is going to feel like they did yesterday."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick MoynihanComment

Galloway used to be a regular on ESPN radio (Kornheiser in particular) and he generally was very funny and entertaining with some bite.
Given the time frame (post Johnson, post Super Bowl, horrible record as draft guru/GM and Chan Gailey as a head coach) he was usually in the position of defending Jerry Jones from unending and complete attack, a laughing stock on the order of Danny Snyder.
This article is in that same vein, with blame spread around to everyone who had a hand in it, but pretty spare laying it at the feet of Jones.
PFT had a source conjecture that Parcells and his new GM Ireland will hollow out the Cowboys personnel department of its better minds, and that Jones will let it happen as he still believes himself to be a quality GM. Galloway might see that winless streak march on, and he might run out of targets not named Jones.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

Agreed. Did anyone else notice how Madden this year stopped comparing everyone to Favre and even started to compare Favre to Romo?
Do you think he switches back next year?

17 times before, a #1 seed in the NFC had come away a victor in a divisional round matchup on their home turf. Not a single one had ever lost since the playoff format expanded to 12 teams...until yesterday.
The Cowboys were the favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. They had just completed the best regular season of their long and storied history.
I can guarantee that Tampa doesn't feel the same as Dallas does right now...neither does Seattle or Washington. Those teams all knew deep down that they were longshots to reach the Super Bowl...and realistically had no chance of winning it.
Dallas was reasonably healthy. They were rightfully confident. They were entirely unfocused on what needed to be done though...and for that, no one can be blamed other than a head coach with a 0-4 record on his resume in the postseason.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

Have to agree with you. Dallas were the darlings of the NFC this year, and were picked from near start to finish to be the NFC Champs. Praise was heaved on them all season, especially after they worked us in Dallas and became the undisputed top seed. They led the NFC in Pro-bowlers. The only teams with greater expectations than DAL at the start of the year were Chicago and Indy (and possibly NE--no one knew exactly what their FAs would yield back in August). Dallas should be feeling extra low today, they fell on their face at home as the top dogs in the NFC.Originally posted by The LeaperComment

There were blips here and there about Peyton Manning not being able to win when it counted. He won a Super Bowl and not nary a peep. He chocked worse then Romo yesterday but he got a pass. 9-10 year vet vs 1.5 year vet, nice."Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.”

Peyton Manning completed 69% of his passes for 402 yards and 3 touchdowns. He had a ball go right through the backup rb's hands on the goalline that cost the team the game. Peyton Manning played well enough to help his team win.
Romo completed only 50% of his passes for 201 yards and 1 touchdown. He did not have a great game.
Say again who sucked worse than who?Comment

I do remember some people ready to annoit Manning as a better QB all-time than Favre because he got a Super Bowl ring last year. Outside of last year's 4-0 run to the Super Bowl, Manning has been pretty lousy in the playoffs. Outside of 2006, Indianapolis is 3-7 in the playoffs with Manning--with 3 home losses and just 1 road win. Manning has been lousy in almost every one of those games. Let's look at his performances in those losses:
In 1999, Indy lost to Tennessee at home, 16-13. He went 19 of 42 (45.2%) for 227 yards with 0 TDs and 0 interceptions.
In 2000, Indy lost at Miami, 23-17. He went 17 of 32 (53.1%) for 194 yards with 1 TD and 0 interceptions.
In 2002, Indy lost at NY Jets, 41-0. He went 14 of 31 (45.2%) for 137 yards with 0 TDs and 2 interceptions.
In 2003, Indy lost at New England, 24-14. He went 23 of 47 (48.9%) for 237 yards with 1 TD and 4 interceptions.
In 2004, Indy lost at New England, 20-3. He went 27 of 42 (64.3%) for 238 yards with 0 TDs and 1 interception.
In 2005, Indy lost to Pittsburgh at home, 21-18. He went 22 of 38 (57.9%) for 290 yards with 1 TD and 0 interceptions.
In 2007, Indy lost to San Diego at home, 28-24. He went 33 of 48 (68.8%) for 402 yards with 3 TDs and 2 interceptions.
Indy missed the playoffs in 1998 and 2001.
Indy averaged under 13 points/game in those 7 losses. He played okay against Pittsburgh. Yesterday, he played okay, but the interceptions hurt and he couldn't bring them back late. I don't blame it all on Manning. His defenses weren't great in a lot of those years, but he hasn't exactly been lighting it up. That's with guys like Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Edgerrin James, Joseph Addai, Dallas Clark, Tarik Glenn, etc. as offensive teammates. Things look bleak when you consider Harrison and Dungy are about to hang them up. On top of that, it doesn't look like it will be as easy for Manning to break Favre's records as it appeared a couple of years ago."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Manning had as many bad throws as Romo. His interceptions were ill timed and poor decision on his part. The one you are referring to was thrown too high with tight coverage. It was a poor decision by Manning. Completion percentage and yards doesn't tell the whole story. Manning chocked when it counted. He had ample opportunities to win the game and blew them. 9-10 year vet and a player who is a 1.5 year vet. Romo played badly but he alone didn't cost them the game. Manning, for all the numbers he put up, threw poorly thrown balls for ints in crucial drives. You would think a 9-10 year vet would be smarter then that. He isn't Favre after all.
You, like a lot of the pundits, are always making excuses for Peyton Manning. He is not a great QB. Take away his weapons and he is mediocre. I don't care who had the better numbers, Manning has the experience and supposedly is some kind of QB god. If you are going to climb on Romo, then Manning doesn't get a free pass."Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.”
