Tony Romo is Rex Grossman

Date of Game: 10/8/07
Final Score: Dallas Cowboys 25
Buffalo Bills 24

Factors That Contributed to the Cowboys Victory Over the Bills
-the Bills offense is completely impotent (they scored a grand total of 3 points while the defense scored the other 21)
-apparently 53 yard field goals are no longer nigh impossible
-the perseverance of the other 10 Cowboys on the field to redeem someone's mistakes and pull out a victory
-luck (and lots of it)

Factors That Contributed Nothing
-Tony Romo

Seriously, the guy throws 5 interceptions in a game and everyone praises him? What the Hell is that all about? I don't see people waiting in line to plant their lips on Rex Grossman's ass. He had almost the exact same performance and he got benched. What pisses me off more is all the reporters siding with Dallas in their upcoming game against the Patriots. Tony Romo "overcame" his terrible performance and the Patriots undefeated season consists of "unimpressive wins". Who the Hell have the Cowboys beaten? Let's go over the list.

Game 1: New York Giants
Game2: Miami Dolphins
Game 3: Chicago Bears
Game 4: St. Louis Rams
Game 5: Buffalo Bills

Nope. No real football teams there. Nothing impressive about any of the Cowboys wins. Let's completely ignore the fact that - except for a huge dose of luck - they nearly lost to the Bills. Yes, the Bears went to the Super Bowl last year but they are just awful this year. But let's take a look at the Patriots' wins.

Game 1: New York Jets
Game 2: San Diego Chargers
Game 3: Buffalo Bills
Game 4: Cincinnati Bengals
Game 5: Cleveland Browns

Two of those 5 teams (Chargers and Bengals) were legitimate Super Bowl contenders last year. Granted the Chargers and Bengals have gone downhill this year. But the Patriots have crushed every team they have played (by 17 or more points). They haven't scraped out any wins like the Cowboys had to do.

Tony Romo didn't overcome anything or show impressive stuff on Monday. He looked like shit (a.k.a. Rex Grossman). The Cowboys haven't proven anything. They haven't played any real teams. The only way they could impress me is if they beat the Patriots on Sunday. And I seriously don't see that happening. At least not with everyone telling Tony Romo it's ok to give the other team the ball.
