The most important part of all competition is score. Score equals accomplishment. Final score determines winning and losing. So no matter how much you score, unless you’re ahead at the final score, you’re a loser.
Tony Romo has a great physical skill set for a quarterback. He’s has a quick release, he’s accurate, he’s mobile all the physical things you want in a QB. But mentally he leaves much to be desired.
The fourth quarter of the game is considered winning time. Romo, not unlike Lebron James has difficulty during this time. I’m not sure if it’s pressure though in his case. I think its just Romo loves to play football so much that he loses sight on playing winning football. And as a Cowboys fan we suffer because of this. We as fans need wins to feel good on Mondays.
Sunday, the Cowboys were up by 7 against the Jets, in the season opener. My Cowboys had command of the entire game. We were inside the Jets 5 yard line. A field goal basically ices the win for us. Romo scrambles and then inexplicably takes off for the goal line, on third down, and dives for a touchdown. This play takes much guts, but little common sense. Like I said, a field goal wins it. When the play wasn’t there he should have played for the win, but he decided to play for the thrill.
Losers play for the thrill. Romo is an adrenaline junkie. He can’t help himself. He wants, nay, needs games to be close for some reason.
Romo fumbles on that dive for the end zone. The momentum of the game shifts, and the Cowboys end up losing by 3 points. Romo has no idea how bad that loss really was on Sunday. A win on the road against a quality team is hard to come by. On top of that there is a mental advantage to winning the first game of the season. The Cowboys play the AFC East this year with two home games against the Bills, and Dolphins. They could have ended up 3-1 against that division. The Cowboys also play the NFC West, which is an also-ran division where they could easily go 3-1. So even if they went 3-3 in their own division that would have left them very close to 10 wins and a playoff birth.
Now all bets are off, and the 49ers game this week is a must-win. You know if you ask loser QB’s about the game, they always say they want to make plays, or they dream about making the big throw in the big game. But a winning QB dreams about being in the Victory Formation, kneeling down with a lead in the big game.
So now Monday sucks, and I have to take all my frustration out on clients, and co-workers. They don’t deserve this, but its trickle down. Romo, does it to me, and then I must do it to you. I can’t imagine where it ends. There is probably some kid somewhere getting reamed and he has no idea why. I’m sure if he re-traced the evidence it would lead back to Tony Romo, and his disregard for winning.
Tony why do you hate winning so much? It’s done nothing to you. Winning is cute and has a great personality. I’m going to set you guys up on a blind date. I think you’ll like each other.
Until Romo gets his priorities in order Cowboy Nation will be forced to be thrill seekers, and miss out on all the winning that our brethren in New England, Green Bay, and Pittsburgh, get to experience.

Bobby Knight once said "Dumb loses more than smart Wins." I'm not sure if truer words have ever been spoken.
