The Romo Rollercoaster suffered another devastating derailment this week, as Calvin Johnson and co destroyed the hopes of the Dallas faithful, by storming back from a 13 point deficit in the fourth, to wow a frenzied home crowd with a final quarter score line of 17-0, to bring the result down in their favour by a margin of 4.
Romo played very well for three quarters, and then seemed to forget what a football was and decided he’d much rather the other team had the responsibility of holding it. Allowing the Lions – historically a weak-hearted team – to rally in such miraculous fashion is not acceptable. 47 pass attempts by Tony Romo is an immense effort, but the wear showed-up badly in the form of 3 interceptions. His yardage was good and his 3 Touchdown tosses were excellent, but his late game collapse was horrible to watch.
Matthew Stafford, however, was imperious. 2/1 TD/INT and 248 yards is not stellar, but his composure, grit and incisiveness as the game drew to its frenetic close were all inhuman.
The Lions have exactly what they hoped they had in Stafford – a true star and a game changer.
Dallas have exactly what they hoped they wouldn’t have again – a headache, a hang over and an awful lot of questions to answer.
