fringe Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 QUOTE(BadEgg @ Jan 16 2008, 10:55 AM) As far as Romo's meltdown on the intentional grounding call, the NFL has since contacted Jerry and said it was the wrong call. what a freaking liar you are, eggdog. the only person who said that was jerry jones, why should anyone believe him, adam? http://cumuluspodcasting.com/media/K...Muse-Jerry.mp3 Go to the 1:40 mark of the interview. Jerry kind of rambles, as usual, but here's exactly what he said -- "I watched every play yesterday. I talked to the league office. The league office blew the call on Tony Romo's — admitted — they blew the call on Tony Romo's intentional grounding. There was no pressure, and anytime there's not — pressure has to come with an intentional grounding — and he threw it without pressure, he just threw it because nobody was open, threw it out of bounds. That's fair, and that’s not a penalty." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 As far as Romo's meltdown on the intentional grounding call, the NFL has since contacted Jerry and said it was the wrong call. I also am quite certain it would have been impossible for Romo to make tackles on special teams, rap up Toomer after he caught his first pass, throw a completion to Witten and simultaneously prevent Leonard Davis from jumping on Strahan, nor could he step in for Jaque Reeves who tackled Steve Smith by the face mask during Eli's big halftime heroics. But Egg, teams overcome bad calls.....Even bringing this up, which I highly doubt is even true, is just evidence that you do not practice what you preach about not blaming penalties. What's even more interesting about your Eli analysis is that the Giants offense went 3 and out on its last two possessions of the 4th quarter. And I believe on the last one, Eli may have taken a sack. There was no pump faking and hitting the open guy there You're right, the second to last drive we ran 3 times, the last drive we ran twice and attempted to pass on 3rd down when Eli was sacked. It was run the clock down time and on 3rd and 4 Eli should have completed the pass. He didn't, was sacked and we punted. Thats playing with a lead, the catching up was slightly different with 53 seconds remaining in the first half. I applaud the Giants game plan, as they are clearly attempting to limit what they ask Eli to do. But I wonder how long they can do this and be successful. Sooner or later, in the playoffs, you have to be able to make big plays in the passing game. They passed 18 times and ran 23, thats a damn good balance especially considering the ran 5 times on the last 2 drives trying to run down the clock with 9 minutes left. You can make the case that trying to run the clock out with 9 minutes left isn't a good idea, but that was not a decision to limit Eli, but to keep the dallas offense off the field. Didn't work out great in that regard since we went 3 and out, but over all it worked out. 50/50 pass to run ratio is exactly what most coaches aim for entering almost every game, wether its Brett Favre at QB or Todd Collins, we're lucky in the fact our running game is effective enough to allow us to do that. Dallas did more to limit Eli than the Giants coaches, with long, time consuming drives. 41 plays from scrimage is a testemant to Dallas' sustained drives.

Treehugger Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Actually the Head Ref said last night that he didn't think Barber was in on his TD run, that his knee was down before the ball crossed the line. Not that it matters now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters now. Yeah, that was one of the more obvious things in that game. But no mention of it from a Dallas fan. Or no mention of Ware being offsides on almost every play. I was talking to some Cowboy fans yesterday. They ahd the nerve to tell me that the league has been informed that Ware has a quick first step, and they still call him for offsides....LMAO! I told them, "so what, just because he has an official quick first step, he should be allowed to be offsides?" Its getin so ridiculous with these fans, I cant believe it.

boohyah Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I tell ya Dog, if that fucker Romo goes to Cabo again a week before the pro bowl, you should hang him from the entrance to Southfork. Be like a "who hung Tony?", type of deal. Who does he think he relaxing before a meaningless game like that. He needs to be representin!. TO is talking to his publishers right about penning another book titled "It ain't Tony's fault, but it's my fault even less." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your a mailman, and you chose to play Basketball on your long weekend off and you break a leg, dont you think your boss would be upset? It was merely the postmans choice.

Should is matter? No..not at all. But I think when your the Quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys it does matter. I'm thinking that if your an insurance adjuster it's a little bit different than being a star NFL quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was merely the postmans choice. so are you suggesting that mailmen should not be allowed to play basketball recreationally during time off on the chance that they injure themselves? and why draw the automatic conclusion that a weekend trip impacted his play? the dog thinks he played rather well early on, and it wasn't until he was under intense pressure in the 4th quarter (the likes of which are rarely seen to that degree for that long) that things unraveled...again, it was a story blown out of proportion by the media that in the end meant nothing...

Anyways..I think Romo took that vacation at the wrong time. His offense wasn't clicking at all. Was it blown out of proportion? Yes Did it matter much in the game? No, not at all. I knew the Giants were going to win the game when I saw Tony Romo yell and scream at his offensive lineman. For someone who the media says "is cool and calm under pressure" he sure didn't do it in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the Cabo thing has been overblown, the fact is that Romo is into the whole celebrity playboy thing. But, if he is going to play the field like Joe Namath, he better play on the field like Joe Namath. Mickey Mantle used to get hammered virtually every night.....but the difference is, the Mick earned immunity from scrutiny by virtue of being one of the greatest baseball players of all time. If Romo is guilty of anything, it's acting like someone he is not. Tom Brady isn't potentially a great quarterback....he IS a great quarterback. When you're a guy that hasn't won a playoff game, then you're damn straight that whatever you do before the big game is completely open to criticism. I'm not going to fault Romo for wanting to bang Jessica Simpson. But Mark Schlereth surprised me by making a good point: Romo could have invited Simpson over to his place to spend some time "away from football", and nobody would have even noticed.

Romo goes to Cabo, loses the game for the Cowboys. Postman plays basketball on his off time, breaks his legs, cant deliver the mail. Simple enough for ya? I know another postman can do the route, but my point is that you can do whatever you want as an adult on your off time. But someone smart wouldnt do something to possibly jeapordize thier job.

But someone smart wouldnt do something to possibly jeapordize thier job. Good point. Here's how I see it.....if your an "A" student, then the night before the exam, if you've already studied up, and want to go out to a movie, then you've demonstrated from past experience that you are capable of handling your responsibilities, and therefore, nobody should question what you do on your free time. However, if you are a "D" student, have an upcoming exam, go out to the movies the night before, and then fail the test, naturally, people are going to ask - "what the hell were you doing at the movies, when you could have been studying for that test????" The fact is, Romo is now 0-2 in the playoffs. He has failed to win a playoff game. As a playoff performer, he is not an "A" student, like, for example, Brady, Favre, or Peyton Manning. Romo should really do himself a favor and heed Parcell's advice about not becoming a celebrity QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont know for sure, but its not like he had a great game and he blew it at the end. I hear some say he was playing great before the half. It was good, not great. Certainly not what he had been doing during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
