Yeah he's just a goofass yuk-yuk just like he was when he played for us. But a lot of what he says also opens the door to how he really thinks about the game, last week he went on and on about how the game he was calling was "a field goal game, the kind of game I like" and that really didn't surprise me at all. In Dallas in the Garrett years I've come to believe more and more that getting a TD was considered a bonus but the actual goal was to just "come away with points." One of those things that sounds okay until you really start to think about it, think about how it becomes a mentality and soon you're only just, kicking field goals.Romo will be calling his first Cowboys game on Sunday. His goofy commentary style isn't really my cup of tea, but what he says (or doesn't say) might be interesting this week for obvious reasons.
Yeah we're gonna get blown out.due for a W but i smell L

He says a lot of other idiotic things too that offer a window into what he considers good football. Like "having fun is most important, it's what it's all about" and such.
Yeah Romo, I could tell that's what it was all about for you.
That and his constant, "they'll get it next time." NO Romo, next times always fucking run out. And I'm glad yours did.
Yeah we're gonna get blown out.
i haven't seen much of the chiefs this year either, but stats say they're explosive.
and i see a lot of shit about kareem hunt being this phenom. marcus peters doesn't tackle for shit but he doesn't have to. he's gonna lock down whoever they put him on. soooo....no zeke, and no #1 WR option. gonna be tough. how's beasley feeling again???
but they have terence mitchell too right? i have seen posts showing him blow coverages too. that could be cherry picking tho.

I'll say this Dooms, I agree with a lot of what you're saying. When I listened to Romo calling a game for the first time, it kind of got old real quick. I also got a better understanding of his mindset when he was playing by listening to what he says when he's announcing. I don't know if that makes sense but I think the guy is a smart guy who knows that he's gone way farther in his career than he ever had any business to.
I think he needed more time under a coach like BP or a guy in the mold of Johnson or Bellichick. They would have coached that right out of him. I don't get "confident leader" when I hear him explain a play or announcing his insights into the game. I'm not trying to be unfair and I appreciate what the guy brought to the table, especially as an UFA. I think the guy had a great deal of untapped potential and could have gotten us a ring under the right coaching. He had the football skills.

Oh and I guess I’m the only one that actually likes Romo around here. Never liked his attitude as a starting QB however as a commentator he’s been really good and it’s because of his personality. Is he still a “goofass yuk yuk guy”? Sure he is but it works on tv. He honestly reminds me a little of Madden. I’d much rather listen to Romo than about 99% of the other guys out there (including Moose).
For Romo there was always a "next time" and that was his mentality. That made everything okay, because we'll get 'em next time. That's how he played. We'll get 'em, you just wait and see. Yeah we waited 9 fucking years and still never got 'em.Yep. It is a classic loser mentality. The chain of self defeat continues after you start expecting to settle for FGs. You start expecting to lose because the FGs don't win against opponents that expect to score TDs like NE. After this point it becomes so ingrained in the subconscious that you start fumbling chip shot FG snaps in playoff games, throwing picks in the last minute of a game deep in your own territory after playing lights out previous to that, and tossing rapid succession pick sixes in the second half of games where you have 99% win probability. At this point you start making morale killing statements like "If the worst thing that happens to me is losing a playoff game I will have lived a good life."
So glad the choke artist is gone.
Yep. I could see this being a 2 catches for 17 yards type game for Dez, with Dez getting all pissy again.
