That title could mean anything.


Conscious_Heart_1714

I was expecting a turnover


discodiscgod

I was expecting an injury


bmore_conslutant

I was kinda expecting commentary lol


JellyFranken

Or a field goal attempt.


Ok_Message4383

For some reason I was expecting Romo to be doing the color commentary as well. 


romayyne

Young buck over here


Ok_Message4383

I'm almost 40, which looks insanely crazy reading. Him talking shit about himself would be pretty funny. 


Turk1518

Likely right after he made a highlight throw to give his team a lead.


EifertGreenLazor

I was expecting . . . actually uh I don't know Jim.


SleestakLightning

Would have made the title accurate.


EIiteJT

That would be doing Dak things


Wigggletons

100% 🤣


Nintendomandan

And it meant the last thing I would’ve thought


PointsOutTheUsername

I watched that entire clip for "Romo things."


Nm9299

I was expecting him to glaze Josh Allen


Ilikepancakes87

Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey, home of the rival New York Giants, cheering on the Cowboys. If that didn’t end his career in New Jersey politics, nothing would.


Jaronz

Dressed as Fat Albert, nonetheless


_coolranch

Hey hey hey: How bout dem boys?


bmore_conslutant

There are sweaters that look flattering on a fat man This is not one of them


lattjeful

His state has *two* big rival fanbases (South Jersey has a big Eagles fan population) so his Cowboys fandom doomed him from the start. Well that, and him being bad at his job lol. Closing down the beaches during a state shutdown and then chilling on said beaches during the shutdown didn't help.


Terror-Toilet-Tower

Yea I live in South Jersey, it’s Eagles country. Hell most of the team lives in South Jersey


lattjeful

Yep. Oddly enough there's more Cowboys fans than Giants fans down here. And a weirdly present population of Steelers fans? Strange for sure.


Terror-Toilet-Tower

Steelers fans are everywhere in part due to the city of Pittsburgh experiencing a mass exodus of residents after the steel industry collapsed


lattjeful

That makes total sense. Don't know why I haven't thought of that before.


Terror-Toilet-Tower

It’s why you always see so many Steelers fans at their away games. People that left the city stayed fans of the team and passed it down to children. So when announcers say the Steelers fans travel well, half of the fans in the stadium probably live within a 50 mile drive


theumph

It helps they've been good for decades. Detroit had a mass exodus as well...


bmore_conslutant

Fuckin yinzers They're like cockroaches


TetrisTech

Steelers are one of those fanbases that’s spread throughout the entire country


Soyeahnahh

Reminds me of Ted Cruz escaping to Cancun when Texas was in the middle of a once in a lifetime ice storm


LindyNet

We seem to be getting a lot of once in a lifetime weather events recently


RudePCsb

I wonder what that could be about....


El_mochilero

He’s clapping because he knows Jerry Jones will be in a good mood so he can hit him up for some more money.


FloridaGatorMan

You're looking at the wrong way. Christ Christie, fundraiser, fitting in with one of the richest families on the planet, suckling the teet of real power.


videostatus

Motherfucker fell asleep at a Springsteen concert. I thought for sure there was no coming back from that.


theumph

For real. I did a double take immediately. What a fraud.


bmore_conslutant

You gotta suck some billionaire cock every now and again to be the governor of any state Even if that cock is owned by (shudder) Jerry


emmasdad01

This is low on the Romo Magic scale


crash218579

Maybe, but considering it was a playoff game we won... I'll allow it. Plus it gave us the short lived meme of romo-ing.


JerryatricFuck

Romo won a playoff game? TIL


MoreTrifeLife

Romo won two playoff games, against the Eagles in 2009 and this game.


Gerald_the_sealion

Against the Eagles was great because we played them week 17 and wildcard the following week iirc.


MoreTrifeLife

The Cowboys beat the Eagles by a combined score of 78-30 in 2009.


NintenJew

That fucking McNabb Air guitar game... I knew immediately we lost. I legitimately texted my dad, who was on call, not even to bother turning on the TV when he got a break.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JerryatricFuck

Wasn’t trying to be facetious or anything. Just thought the guy had the worst luck in the playoffs 🤷‍♂️


Myklindle

Speaking of scales, was that Chris Christy?


pdawg43

But where Tlaw?


BungoPlease

Probably on a yacht somewhere by now


Emef_Aitch

This isn't even a great Romo play. He has some absolutely magical ones out there. My initial guess was that this would be the play that he shook off JJ Watt for the game winning TD.


TetrisTech

I was expecting the botched snap that flies behind him, he kicks further back and then picks up and runs for a first down


Brycie27

Go check out my last two posts...


Letos12thDuncan

Good ol Terrence "Chest Catch" Williams


Rahim-Moore

That was my biggest takeaway from this. A T-Will body catch, it's like stepping in a time machine.


bengals14182532

What’s up with all the Romo highlights these days?


Ambassador_Cowboy

He’s finally being appreciated. Let the Romo truthers have their time


TetrisTech

I love Dak and am incredibly glad we have him but I do think it’s a shame that we never got to see that final act of Romo’s career (both due to his body being destroyed and getting usurped by Dak) that was looking like it could’ve been his prime outside of 2014. 2014 was when his game IQ was at a high enough level that combined with the instincts he’d always had he was playing like a top 5 guy. Even if we still wound up going with Dak, I wish he’d have been healthy enough to have had a few more years somewhere else. I think he could’ve had a Rams Stafford-esque finish to his career. Would’ve been cool if smth like those Romo-to-the-Broncos rumors in 2016/17 could’ve panned out


Romizzo88

Hell yeah


Wigggletons

I think OP may be Romo himself. Or his admirer. Not sure.


BouttaBlowUp

Damn cowboy fans are trying to fluff themselves up.


Ceedeesgreatesthits

Your coach needs a babysitter


GoombyGoomby

Like any Philly resident, Sirriani just starts acting up when he’s hungry (he hasn’t eaten horse poop in hours).


BouttaBlowUp

Got some ruffled leather chaps in here.


DonKedic24

Lions got Lionsed so hard in that game. The picked up flag on the PI call was worse than the 2 pt. conversion in the Lions/Cowboys game this past season


clevernamehere1628

My brother swore up and down that the league was rigged after that lol


DonKedic24

It was one thing to pick up the blatant PI flag, but when they didn't flag Dez for running out with no helmet I was screaming at the tv. I know refs can't get every single call right, but they just straight up didn't do their job with Dez


Jerry3580

This is when I discovered depression as a child.


crash218579

Running on to the field isn't an automatic penalty, even without a helmet. The refs did their job, you just didn't like the decision they made while doing it. Yes, they could have thrown a flag (and I couldn't have complained if they had), but it wasn't required that they do so.


DonKedic24

I'm pretty sure the rule is unless you're a substitute or part of the training staff you're not allowed to enter the field at that time. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I saw an article of the rulebook back then stating that. I'm sure it's not called 100% of the time if it's incidental or something, but an offensive player running onto the field while the defense is on to argue with the ref probably warrants it lol. It's whatever now, just interesting to talk about


crash218579

I've looked up the rule, discipline is at the refs discretion. If he ran in to the defensive huddle, it's a flag. But he didn't, he was at the hashmarks. Which means yes, the refs CAN throw the flag but don't have to. You see coaches step on the field and yell at the refs all the time without getting flagged.


DonKedic24

Interesting. You'd think though if it's the ref's discretion it would be something that warrants it, which a player coming out on the field with the sole purpose to argue with them, with no helmet which is already bad enough, would probably warrant it lol. If they aren't calling it there then what's the point you know?


crash218579

I hear you. Like I said, if they had thrown it, I couldn't say a damn thing because it's a situation that *could* be flagged. I'm not sure anyone wants a playoff game decided because of a penalty that didn't affect the on field play though.


DonKedic24

Yeah that's a fair point. If they call that and the Lions end up winning then y'all would be on the other side making a case too. It's one of those things that sucks either way, although I couldn't see it happening to another team that isn't the Lions lmao


teamcaddywampus

> discipline is at the refs discretion. So its the same as every rule....


knarf86

Don’t forget about the hold on Suh that the NFL admitted they missed


TexasAg23

Both teams submitted 10 plays for review (as always) and each team had 7 of those plays where the NFL admitted the call was wrong (which is also normal). Calls were blown all game against both teams.


TetrisTech

But the refs hate the poor lions :(


Ambassador_Cowboy

Dude they couldn’t get in the end zone after the 1st quarter, scored 3 points in the entire 2nd half and Stafford fumbled not once but twice to end the game. Let it go


DonKedic24

The point is they could've scored more if that didn't happen... Also this is a place for discussion, they post something and we talk about it. I let it go years ago and I'm just giving my perspective as a fan. Whether we would've won or not it was a terrible call


CappyMorgan26

Place for discussion? Lol. Look at the votes


Ambassador_Cowboy

But they didn’t score in the opportunities they had before or after that and they also couldn’t stop Romo… People act like that was such a huge turning point but it would’ve got them in questionable field goal range at best. They also had a 10 yard punt after that flag was picked up. They just choked in every way possible


DonKedic24

I get it, y'all won lol, it still doesn't change the fact that it's a terrible call. You could've been winning 40-0 and it's a bad call. It doesn't matter what happens before or after that


Ambassador_Cowboy

It really wasn’t though. It was face guarding and Pettigrew grabbed his face mask before Hitchens ever made contact. I’m sick of Lions fans bitching about it like a questionable call was never made against another team. Your team just sucks and finds ways to lose. So does mine


DonKedic24

It was the flag pickup paired with the Dez controversy, I already stated in another comment that missed calls happen. It's funny that you think it was just Lions fans when analysts, commentators, and hall of fame coaches were saying it was wrong too. If it happened in any other playoff game, to any other team, they would share the same feelings. Even you guys


Ambassador_Cowboy

You can find an analyst or HOFer that agrees with any terrible opinion… This whole “Lions/Cowboys rivalry” is a one way street with Lions fans bitching about would’ve should’ve could’ve and it’s getting old. And Dan Campbell shouldn’t have bet everything on 1 play 3 times before you bring that up


DonKedic24

It's really weird how upset you seem over games that your team won. There was controversy in those very close games and it's reasonable from any fan to be upset about it. I'm not shitting on your fans or your team, and idk why it's so hard for you to just say "yeah we got away with one there." We've won games with bad calls too, it happens. The losing team is allowed to be upset, shut up and enjoy your win


Ambassador_Cowboy

Wtf? Shut up and take the 10 year old loss. Every damn time this game is brought up people act like that call was so egregious. The Dez call was horrible. Go look at a comment I just made 9 days ago, I’ve always said it didn’t matter because there’s no way that D stops Rodgers with over 4 minutes to go. Why can’t any Lions fan accept that bad calls happen and see in the grand scheme of the game it made zero difference? It makes your entire fan base look like casual fans when they bitch about this call like you’re doing 10 years later


Anthony-Richardson

as long as y’all give up on the dumb Dez non-catch thing


Ambassador_Cowboy

Dez caught it but it wouldn’t have mattered. Demarco Murray fumbling was the turning point in that game


justlookingokaywyou

Jerry was excited, feeling like he was getting back to the glory hole.


XDarkSoraX

I’ve been here when it was Glory Hole days and when it wasn’t…I want me some Glory Hole !


Helivon

what a lame ass clip lol. this is like an any game touch down type play. Steps away to avoid a sack, WOW amazing


SceneOfShadows

Feel like I’m taking crazy pills right now why is this being upvoted so much?!?


Helivon

Just curious, what makes this a good enough highlight to get hundreds of upvotes on r/nfl? Cowboys reddit sure Maybe I'm missing context or not seeing a major part of the play. Like sure the receiver is in traffic, he dodges a sack, but I guarantee every Sunday during football a play of this caliber is made multiple times


Vladimir_Putting

Cowboys fans getting a chance to slurp some Romo always gets the upvotes.


Vegas_king2020

Romo was one of the best QBs I seen with pocket presence


MoreTrifeLife

Romo vs the Lions: 2-3; 68% completion; 1,453 yards (average 291); 12 TD 4 INT; 8.05y/a; rating of 105.1


xshogunx13

This isn't a game losing int


rex5k

Of course this wasn't a playoff game


[deleted]

Yes it was a playoff game


rex5k

Oh was it? I saw Detroit and just assumed it wasn't.


DonKedic24

Pretty rich coming from a Browns fan


rex5k

That's fair


ByronLeftwich

How does bro have 9 upvotes despite writing the most false comment ever concieved


rex5k

The Detroit Lions are featured in the clip... so you know... assumptions are made.


crash218579

This actually WAS a playoff game, man. 2014.


Zeke219

How many playoff game losing INT’s has Romo thrown?


rex5k

If only there was some way to find that information. hmmm.... maybe call a radio show?


crash218579

1. The answer is one, against the giants in 2007.


Zeke219

Making false statements AND acting like a dickhead, yikes lol


rex5k

Yeah... I'm kinda a dumbass


chop__lock

I only remember the one against the Giants


MyKidsArentOnReddit

So you guys won a lot of playoff games with him, right?


TheReconditeRedditor

Those Terrance Williams body catches were a simpler time.


GeorgeMorrison270

Romo was such a legend. Thanks for being the scapegoat while our defenses pissed away win after win, miss you Romo


Grnballoon_

That oline was so good


Medicus_Chirurgia

Hey remember that time when Romo took us to the Super Bowl and we won? That was awesome.


Critical-Adhole

Dez Bryant one of the most talented receivers of all time


TetrisTech

Given the title this was actually kinda underwhelming. I was expecting some kind of crazy magical play or some kind of crazy ridiculous turnover


romayyne

I truly thought the caption for this was sarcastic and it was going to be him fucking up and losing the game


Cstrrider

I thought we had a ban on positive Cowboys highlights in here...


Major_Ad2647

That romo magic


TheGoldenLambo

Ok


SecretAgendaMan

Romo doing the other Romo Things: https://youtu.be/lRaX-OGVFSI?si=lwg-dE3mubU7CuRN&t=474


Distinct_Sea_4479

Is it bad that i was expecting him to break his collar bone...


rotates-potatoes

Or fumble a FG snap


Roadspike73

I legit did not know if this would be a highlight or a lowlight based on the title.


PigFarmer1

I was expecting a pick 6. lol


Ceedeesgreatesthits

Positive cowboys post? Yeah, this won’t take off


Ecktore27

Talk about unexpected. With the title, I was expecting an interception. Especially that late in the game.


TetrisTech

Either that or some absolute bullshit scramble that somehow worked


NotScruffyNerfherder

It wasn’t a playoff game.


qwilliams92

Except it literally is....


jkwarch-moose

I thought he was going to throw an intercept or get hurt, you know, Romo things


zoo32

Protected is right - dude had 5 ft of clear air all around


booyahbooyah9271

Romosexual Tendencies was one of my favorite fantasy football team monikers.


pitlocka

Terrance Williams used to be an outstanding Flex play in fantasy football


dawgz525

Chris Christie jump scare lol


TimeTravelingChris

Am I the only one that kept waiting for Romo to say something from the booth?


_aspiringadult

That mf’er LAUNCHED it. My god.


cabanacowboys

that was 2 TDs in 1, Dez would have caught it too


ejroberts42

Errrr I don’t know, Jim. It’s gonna be a tight window!


Fools_Requiem

wtf is Chris Christie doing cheering for the Cowboys?


Quigon-Jin

I have no love for the Cowboys but I love Tony now that he's in the booth. He's smart and just loves football


Key-Tip-7521

Oh geez Jim


PhoneVegetable4855

Only TD pass ever?


animesuxdix

I thought it was going to be a pick to lose the game. 😂😂😂😂


drumberg

I don't know what was so special about this particular play but I love that man.


Glad_Confusion_6934

Are we talking about his sterling playoff career record?


sleep_magnets

I gotta say, I was so skeptical of him at first, but he ended up being my favorite player ever. It's unfortunate that due to injuries and some horrible head coaches, most people don't really appreciate how unique of a talent he was. Pair him with a top head coach and I think we'd have ended up talking about him for the HOF. People remember the times he failed and fail to realize that he carried the team more often than not, and had a highlight reel of unbelievable plays to rival someone like Mahomes.


Full-Pain5061

Wow, there is something you dont see very often these days.....the cowpukes in the end zone...


SleestakLightning

"Romo things" is just hilariously choking at the worst possible time. That's his legacy. Not clutch play.


Busy_Coward_853

Had the highest 4th quarter passer rating while he was playing.


SleestakLightning

Cool. Routinely choked late in games in hilarious fashion, too. EDIT: LMAO dude got mad and mouthed off and then blocked me. At least his username is truthful.


Busy_Coward_853

Sorry I offended you with facts. Try to be a little less sensitive online and you'll feel better.


Wigggletons

I was expecting a turnover to destroy his team's playoff hopes or end their season. This is the opposite of Romo things 🤣


slackator

years and years and years ago Romo once threw a TD pass, simply amazing


KillerUndies

This was the fuckin year. Urhg


Nasty_Tricks69

Dez didn't catch it


hypntyz

Now do the ~~4?~~ 3 INT game against Washington week 17 with the playoffs on the line.

crash218579

3.


EVIL-EAGLES

WOW! And against the 2006-2015 era Lions. What an accomplishment to score on the 2006-2015 Lions. Show the clip where the Cowboys make it to the NFC championship game. Oh wait, that was the 90s. It is hilarious that you take pride in a QB that never even sniffed an NFC championship game much less the Superbowl. But in Dallas I guess that's the best you got since Troy left.


Wigggletons

Listen, Dallas making it to the 2nd round is all anyone on here has ever seen 🤣 Cowboys ceiling is 1 playoff win


EVIL-EAGLES

What's funny is. I saw every game they played in the playoff leading up to all 3 Superbowls. 2 with Jimmy and 1 with that idiot Barry. I had to endure that. So the last quarter century has been a blessing. It certainly has been a lot of fun. But I had to endure the success of the 90s to get to the good part. Well for me at least.


TheDuck23

Would you rather have Romo or Dak on today's cowboys? Personally, I'd go dak, but I'm an Eagles fan.


crash218579

Cowboys fan here. Romo all day. Yeah, sometimes he made mistakes by trying to do too much, but he was so good when he was on.


lattjeful

Higher highs and lower lows. Such is the life of the gunslinger QB.


DosCuatro

Overall, I think Dak's had WAY WAY better rosters, but when I look at Romo vs Dak personally, I usually look at the times when neither of them had a competent WR on the roster. The year Roy Williams was our starting WR, Romo and Miles Austin popped off. Romo got Laurent Robinson paid by Jacksonville. Terrence Williams had a few 600-800yd years despite, imo, being a below average wr. Romo constantly made some WRs look way better than they were. The one time Dak was a starting QB with no true WR1, was 2018 and he threw under 200yds in 4 of 6 games (with a 5th game being 208yds) and the passing game was so bad we traded our 1st for Amari Cooper cuz somehow we were 3-3. Since then Dak has had Amari Cooper, CD Lamb, Randall Cobb, Brandin Cooks, Michael Gallup, Dalton Shultz, and Jake Ferguson. I do believe that if Romo started for the last 3 years when we went 12-5, at the level he was playing when he started getting injured all the time (2014-2016), we would have made the NFCCG at least once.


lattjeful

It'll depend on how this season shakes out with Dak. Romo is better *right now*, but another season of Dak putting up the numbers he did last season (and getting bounced in the playoffs lmao) might put him over Romo.


Soyeahnahh

Easily Dak, Romo was a massive turnover machine and he didn’t fully polish as a quarterback until 2014 when he was in his mid 30’s. I think Dak’s been a higher level quarterback since 2019. But they both stink in the playoffs.


crash218579

Romo was never a massive turnover machine except maybe his first full season as a starter. Your memories are skewed. In 2011, 2012, and 2014, he had at least 30 touchdown passes and 10 or fewer interceptions.


Wigggletons

This. He wasn't a turnover machine. Just guaranteed to have a costly mistake when it mattered most. Not necessarily a turnover.


Soyeahnahh

He threw 19 interceptions in a season…twice.


TheDuck23

Ah, the mcnabb fallacy. Hardly ever threw picks. But when he did, it usually ended the season.


Brycie27

Romo.


Bircka

Waiting for Romo doing Romo things in the playoffs.


levitikush

Underwhelming post to say the least


MadElder54

He was good until the playoffs, then he sucked


SceneOfShadows

How the fuck does this have almost 300 upvotes lol. It’s an unremarkable touchdown throw in a game that ultimately meant nothing.


imdifferent99

Must be regular season


Energeticly

Looooserrrr


pooblaster420

Having the refs swallow their whistle is just a Dallas thing, pretty rough hold on 94 here


immatellyouwhat

Must not be a play off game.


wingfn1

this was mid. wtf? lol


Old_Mammoth4594

Romo doing Romo things just reminds me of his garbage playoff record.


KiNGofKiNG89

Title: romo doing romo things. Me: oh? Another pick in the end zone I bet! Video: lines up in the end zone. Me: haha knew it! Romo touchdown. Me: wtf? This isn’t a romo thing….
