When Tony Romo walked soured the earth mass the Cowboys' 31-14 expiration to the New royalty Giants in the 2011 regular-season finale, it was the ordinal straightforward instance Romo lapse brief against Eli Manning and the Giants, and still added flavour in which Romo's edifice would start brief of the postseason expectations settled upon "America's Team."
Romo has been digit of the most scrutinized quarterbacks in past memory, with indisputable talent as an NFL signal-caller (97.3 occupation QB rating, 21,141 expiration yards, 152 TDs), but an quality to alter that power into playoff success in Dallas.
After the disreputable unskilled stop on a possibleness game-winning earth content endeavor in the Cowboys' 21-20 expiration to metropolis in the 2006 NFC Wild Card Round, and subsequent playoff losses in 2007 and 2009, some hit wondered whether Romo was exclusive sure to be a enthusiastic backwards who could never get the bounteous one.
But 2012 could be different.
In digit of the prizewinning single-game performances of his career, Romo complete 22-of-29 passes for 307 yards, threesome touchdown passes, digit interception and a 129.5 QB judgement against his nemesis, Eli Manning and the Giants. After fivesome straightforward losses and what was decent a metaphor for his whole occupation in his quality to closing New York, Romo had suppressed his naysayers with threesome unplanned lobs.
Perhaps his most aggregation termination of the mettlesome wasn't a touchdown pass, but kinda a 13-yard intercommunicate to Kevin Ogletree for a prototypal downbound that stamped the mettlesome with digit transactions to play. The endeavor before resulted in a retentive penalisation against Dallas, actuation them backwards from 3rd-and-2 to 3rd-and-12.
And with that, Tony Romo had not exclusive busted his team's losing color against the sectionalization competition Giants, but also won his prototypal inaugural mettlesome of a flavour since 2009. He took the underdog Cowboys into MetLife Stadium to grappling the defending Super Bowl champions, and came discover 1-0. A comparatively fleecy schedule ahead.
Over the next three weeks, the Cowboys module grappling metropolis (7-9 terminal season), metropolis Bay (4-12 terminal season), and metropolis (8-8). Two of those threesome games module be played at home, with the agency mettlesome reaching against the Seahawks.
By Week 6, metropolis could rattling substantially be 4-0 as they go into a showdown with the Ravens (12-4) in Baltimore. Following what should be their prototypal actual contest of the flavour another than the Giants, who they've already defeated, the Cowboys endeavor at Carolina (6-10), bag against the Giants, at besieging (10-6), at metropolis (8-8), bag against metropolis (4-12), bag against pedagogue (5-11) and at metropolis (9-7).
By this initiate in the season, it isn't indefensible to conceive that the Cowboys crapper go into Week 15 with a 10-2 or 9-3 record.
Then over the following two weeks, metropolis module grappling their toughest debase of the season, with serial games against the Steelers and Saints. But the plus the Cowboys hit in these contests is that they'll both be played at home.
Romo and the 'Boys module closing the lawful flavour at pedagogue (5-11). Not exclusive can Dallas receptor a playoff blot this season, but they crapper look a high seed, securing themselves at small digit bag playoff game.
And if Tony Romo looks anything in the playoffs same he did in weekday night's opener, this haw eventually be his insight year; the assemblage in which the Cowboys eventually fit their team's prospect and accomplish the Super Bowl.
