Tony Romo Better Wear Extra Padding Week 14 Vs Giants
Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo better gear up and add some extra padding for the upcoming week 14 game against the NY Giants.
The Giants are coming off what can only be described as a mugging by referees week 13 when they played the Green Bay Packers. They will be an angry bunch who will be looking to dish out some punishment, something Romo knows all to well when facing Big Blue.
Last season in week 7 Giants LB Michael Boley put a hit on Tony Romo which broke his collarbone (left clavicle). The Dallas Cowboys season went down along with their quarterback. After 3 straight weeks of bad defensive line play the GMEN “D” line played hard against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers despite not having Osi Umenyoira. The final score was 38-35 which usually is indicative of a poor effort but that wasn’t the case for the defensive line. There is no reason to believe Continue reading
Tony Romo Lacks Clutch Gene for Cowboys
Dallas fans are beginning to comprehend that quarterback Tony Romo is an all or nothing type player for the Cowboys and lacks the clutch gene.
Since 2006 when Romo first took over as QB replacing Drew Bledsoe during a game versus the NY Giants, Dallas fans have been patiently and eagerly waiting for his unlimited potential to take them to the Super Bowl. Five years later that supposedly unlimited potential is starting to look much more pedestrian.
Is Tony Romo talented? As a New York Giants fan I have watched many NFC East games and try to catch Cowboys, Redskins and Eagles games as much as possible. I can’t deny that Tony is talented and is an above average athlete, anyone who would deny that is just plain silly. But unlike ESPN’s Skip Bayless who found a way to blame Jessica Simpsom for Romo’s woes I can be objective enough to realize talent alone doesn’t take you to the promise land. Continue reading
Dallas Cowboys Pathetic Celebration
How pathetic have the Dallas Cowboys become? They beat the 0-4 now 0-5 Kansas City Chiefs and needed an overtime Miles Austin touchdown to win. They have a celebration in the end zone as if they had just won the Super Bowl!
First of all you have to win a playoff game then you have to win the Super Bowl in order to hold such a party on the field. Have some self respect, some dignity act like you expect to win the game not as if you were fortunate enough to have the opposing team miss an easy tackle for you to score. Oh wait that is what happened isn’t it? No wonder Tony Romo and company are having such a celebration along with Jerry Jones and the rest of the suits. Dallas is just happy to be lucky enough to win the game, truly PATHETIC!
NY Giants Beat The Dallas Cowboys 33-31
The NY Football Giants beat The Dallas Cowboys 33-31 in their spanking billion dollar stadium. Tony Romo had a horrible day while Eli Manning had a great one.
New York still experienced many issues in the Red Zone and truly made this a closer game than it should have been. Lawrence Tynes missed an easy field goal and NY failed to score touchdowns in the red zone on 3 occasions coming away with only field goals.
Tony Romo was not sacked but did feel the pressure which led to 3 interceptions. His stats were terrible 13-29 for 127 yards. Surprisingly enough Dallas was able to stop the Giants potent running game but they could not stop Eli Manning and his young receiving core most notably Mario Manningham and Steve Smith who both had 10 catches and over 100 yards and each scored a touchdown.
Eli Manning was 25-38, threw for 330 yards and 2 touchdowns. He led Big Blue down the field in the last two minutes and helped position them for the game winning field goal by Lawrence Tynes. Let us not forget the great job the New York offensive line did in this game, they created very nice pockets and provided ample time for Eli so that he could pick the Cowboys defense apart.
Kenny Phillips was a standout on the defensive side with 2 interceptions and so was Bruce Johnson who intercepted a ball from Tony and ran it back for a defensive touchdown.
This was an impressive win for the Giants, they were missing 6 starters, including key players in Aaron Ross, Kevin Dockery and Chris Canty. They silenced 105,000+ in Dallas on Sunday night.

Giants vs Cowboys
Week 2 of the 2009 NFL season features a tough matchup between the NY Football Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. The game is scheduled for Sunday 9/20/09 at 8:20pm.
Every game is important but even more so when we play NFC East rivals. Playoff implications begin week one as far as I am concerned especially when you play on the East coast with talented teams such as the Redskins, Eagles and Cowboys, arguably the toughest division in all of football. None of the teams mentioned above including the Giants were under 500 last year.
The Cowgirls beat the Tampa Bay Bucs this past Sunday and I have to say I was not very impressed. I was however suprised at how well the Bucs looked with their new coach and practically new team. Tampa Bay has lost or fired many of their core veterans and also their coach Jon “Chucky” Gruden. The game was very tight going into the 4th quarter, I believe it was 20-14 when Romo connected for a long TD pass. They had 2 huge plays in this game courtesy of broken coverages by the secondary. I do not see these types of lucky plays occurring when the Giants play them.
This game should have been much easier for Dallas, the score reflects an easy game but the reality is that it was close until a big play in the last quarter as previously mentioned. Cadillac Williams and Ward ran all over them so imagine what Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw will do to them.
Tony Romo had a good game stats wise but he threw a couple of balls that should have been intercepted. The Giants always put a lot of pressure on Tony, he usually runs around trying to extend the play and makes mistakes and I can see that happening this Sunday night.
I expect the Giants to win this game even though we are playing at Dallas in their new stadium which should be a ruckus atmosphere. As of now many Vegas outlets have the Cowboys as a 3 point favorite a few have it even. It will be a tough game but then again New York is used to playing these grind it out affairs. Big Blue all the way!
