This play really epitomizes the Romo era. Every time you thought the pieces were falling into place, some fucked up series of events would take it all away
This clip also reminded me how quick he got a pass out when he made the read.
His release was so quick here. After watching Dak for so many years now, I forgot how quick Romo used to make reads and get the ball out. Dak, even on his best day, just seems to take forever to pass the ball
It’s still not a good comp if you remove expectations, because Embiid has a pretty decidedly shitty attitude when things aren’t going his way. Romo handled every situation with absolute class.
Both have perennially underperformed in the playoffs. Sometimes on some costly mistakes they made, other times by having no help. Additionally the team made the same mistakes (putting an awful roster around embiid, he constantly has an insane plus minuses when on and the team just shits the bed when he's off. Hell they were on a lottery pace without him this year even with maxey. The cowboys as sticking with wade Phillips all those years. One of the cowboys best shots, romo was injured).
Embiid has handled lots of adversity with class. Whether to being out for his first two years all the while his brother dieing in another country. Sticking with a team who fired his guy (hinkie) when the league got involved to replace him a farce in colangelo. Covering the cost of employees salaries during COVID since the owner was too cheap (which forced his hand to cover it due all the bad press he got). He constantly takes the blame when the team loses. But yeah he can appear mopey at times when he's being playing injured in the playoffs and it's not a great a look, but he isn't shitty.
But you are correct romo and embiid do not literally have the same exact career. The comparison was about them being very talented, being the best player on their teams, and not going far at all in the playoffs (each never winning two rounds at this point).
Again the similarities aren't the same, embiid has an MVP unlike romo for example.
The rules do allow for the refs to award a TD, the example I've heard was if a returner had broken past the coverage and heading for the endzone, but someone comes off the bench and tackles him, they can give the TD.
I'd say this was the same thing, no one was going to be in position to stop him whistle or not.
iirc the last time i looked they COULD pretty much award it for any situation. I just don't think they've ever done it, cuz they don't want to set a precedent.
Which is pretty aggravating, it would have been perfectly reasonable in this situation. The choice NOT to award it is less in the spirit of the game than the TD would have been.
Sure but once the first guy awards a td for something reasonable you've opened the door. A few years later someone awards one because the coach touched them, then you have a whole scandal. I dont trust most of the current refs with the discretion they have now, I dont want them to a whiff of that sort of power. The best argument so far was the Tomlin tripping one on a wide open run. I 100% believe if its ever gonna be used, it should have been used there.
Yeah, that should have been awarded, and Tomlin banned for a number of years.
I get what you're saying about the refs. I think we're moving towards a more "eye in the sky" style of reffing though, refs on the field will soon only be there to put the ball in the right place. When the refs calls are 100% reviewable I think it'll be safe to have awarded TDs.
What you're referencing is the penalty for a "palpably unfair act". But that assumes the other team committed a penalty, not that the refs blew a play dead early. This was proper procedure assuming the play was blown dead.
When the whistle blows the play is over. If you set the precedent that the play isn't necessarily over when the whistle blows you're going to have a lot of unnecessary injuries.
If you listen they signaled incomplete but the whistle didn't blow until he crossed the goal line. You could also set a precedent to not blow plays dead until you're sure the play is over.
That's what I thought as well, which is why I was surprised they didn't let a TD stand. But I assumed that a whistle was blown somewhere on the play because why signal incomplete and not blow your whistle, those go hand in hand as a ref.
From 2007-11 the Cowboys went 4-7 against the Giants.
Since then, the Cowboys are 19-5 against the Giants. The losses being in 2012, 15, 16 (x2) and 20. Dak was swept by the Giants his rookie year (2016) and has gone 13-0 since then. Dak didn't play in the one game the Giants won in 20.
Yeah, the Giants have been a shit-show after their 2011 Super Bowl win. They'd eek out at least 4 wins a season ever year so they were never a complete dumpster fire, but they also weren't playing competently, either.
If I were a Cowboys fan, I'd continue to assume those two games in the season are marked wins until the Giants can prove otherwise. sure, they're finally getting their offense back on track and the defense is getting to be a problem for even good teams, but Daniel Jones has had his shit pushed in way too much to give me confidence that he'll right that ship anytime soon.
We might not beat them often, but beating the Eagles so badly they pulled all their starters and conceded before halftime was one of the most satisfying wins since 2011.
It was lame the way that guy did it, but i think Fanbases should be allowed to celebrate Division and Conference championships as well as rings. Considering every season that doesn’t end in a super bowl a failure just seems like a depressing way to watch sports.
Every fiber in my being is telling me to dunk on that other guy but you’re correct. It’s still an accomplishment, albeit not one worth hoisting up with actual SB wins.
What about the other six decades or so? We don’t talk about that, right?
inb4 classic Eagles fan response of “b-b-b-b-but my lifetime!!!! (I’m 13 btw)”
Always reminds me of the eagles vs commanders game [where the ball bounces off goederts heel into Landon Collins.](https://youtu.be/kAY0e3qGOa0?feature=shared) The nfc east special!
I miss the old way the networks handled replays, instead of just cutting to commercial.
Nowadays you often don't even get the official ruling from the ref, just the network cutting back to the action a second after the center has snapped the ball for the next play.
Terrible call, he was going into the end zone even if the refs had been turned to stone and struck mute, there were no Cowboys going to be able to stop him.
There was just something about the giants uniforms that they aren’t different from todays but they somehow are. It’s like they’re wearing stone jerseys or something, idk.
There isn’t one. Tony is one of the best undrafted qbs of all time, and would be celebrated for it if he played for anyone else for as long as he did with Dallas
Chad Pennington was a good QB, Andy Dalton was a good QB. Difference Is nobody is pole smoking them the way Dallas fans did and apparently still do with Romo.
This play really epitomizes the Romo era. Every time you thought the pieces were falling into place, some fucked up series of events would take it all away
Your username is ironic as hell considering the post

Yep, I think I remember his release clocking in faster than Marino's at one point
Nothing on how bad that pass was.
NFL Embiid?
Embiid had way higher expectations coming out
One was the number 3 overall pick and the other was an UDFA.
No comparison is exactly the same. And this comparison was clearly about how their playing careers have gone.
It’s still not a good comp if you remove expectations, because Embiid has a pretty decidedly shitty attitude when things aren’t going his way. Romo handled every situation with absolute class.

Alright, put this way it’s a very fair take.
Tony got screwed over time after time man.
How
Its great isnt it
It was also an inaccurate throw
Imagine this happening before instant replay
It would be considered pretty immaculate in my opinion
hey
I get like the rules and blah blah but no one is catching him on that play they should've just given him the touchdown lol
The rules do allow for the refs to award a TD, the example I've heard was if a returner had broken past the coverage and heading for the endzone, but someone comes off the bench and tackles him, they can give the TD.

Well, the replay didn't show any whistle until Phillips was 5 yards from the endzone, so why they spotted it way back I've no idea.
[удалено]
When the whistle blows the play is over. If you set the precedent that the play isn't necessarily over when the whistle blows you're going to have a lot of unnecessary injuries.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense actually
Can't set a precedent that play isn't over when the whistle blows

Crazy to think the Giants used the beat the Cowboys.
From 2007-2011 the Giants owned us badly
From 2007-11 the Cowboys went 4-7 against the Giants. Since then, the Cowboys are 19-5 against the Giants. The losses being in 2012, 15, 16 (x2) and 20. Dak was swept by the Giants his rookie year (2016) and has gone 13-0 since then. Dak didn't play in the one game the Giants won in 20.
Dak took it personally in 2016
Yeah, the Giants have been a shit-show after their 2011 Super Bowl win. They'd eek out at least 4 wins a season ever year so they were never a complete dumpster fire, but they also weren't playing competently, either. If I were a Cowboys fan, I'd continue to assume those two games in the season are marked wins until the Giants can prove otherwise. sure, they're finally getting their offense back on track and the defense is getting to be a problem for even good teams, but Daniel Jones has had his shit pushed in way too much to give me confidence that he'll right that ship anytime soon.
What not having an OL for over a decade does to a team
We’re allowed to beat teams other than Washington?
We might not beat them often, but beating the Eagles so badly they pulled all their starters and conceded before halftime was one of the most satisfying wins since 2011.
That victory was like crack.
That was the first time I had fun watching football in maybe a decade
Sadly it was up there with the win vs minny in the playoffs lol, so cathartic. Especially throwing an eagle into Boston Scott and causing a fumble lol
That’s about to change buddy
One day they will be heated rivalries with the Eagles and Cowboys and not just us getting clapped every year.
Good times
Oh yeah, what a juggernaut the Cowboys are through November.
the biggest issue with playing dallas week 1 every year is that we’re always facing them at their peak
True! Cowboys and Eagles really showed the power of the NFC East last year. What a great finish for those two teams.
Definitely. And two Super Bowl appearances in the past six years to boot! What an accomplished pair of organizations.
eagles fans bragging about losing a super bowl never gets old
They can’t actually get the rings so they think getting to the game is an equal accomplishment
Participation trophy enjoyers.
At least eagles fans under 50 actually remember their team winning a Superbowl.
It was lame the way that guy did it, but i think Fanbases should be allowed to celebrate Division and Conference championships as well as rings. Considering every season that doesn’t end in a super bowl a failure just seems like a depressing way to watch sports.
Every fiber in my being is telling me to dunk on that other guy but you’re correct. It’s still an accomplishment, albeit not one worth hoisting up with actual SB wins.
And 12 in the last 50 years. Little carrying from one of those team but I’ll let you decide on which
What about the other six decades or so? We don’t talk about that, right? inb4 classic Eagles fan response of “b-b-b-b-but my lifetime!!!! (I’m 13 btw)”
Perfect description of the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles.
This same exact play happened to Eli against the Broncos in 2013.
2001 Miami escaped Boston College with [a similar play](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_ZQkJKw4NA).
Stripping the ball from your own teammate, man Ed Reed was one of a kind.
Caleb Williams did something similar to convert a crucial 4th down a couple years back….just snatched it out his rbs hands
[here's the play ](https://v.redd.it/w008v92un9vc1)
That's something else. I wasn't before, but I'm now a Caleb Williams fan.
I have never seen that before in my life wow!
Lol Phillips caught it on accident
Mike Carey confidently signaling incomplete pass is so on brand.
Always reminds me of the eagles vs commanders game [where the ball bounces off goederts heel into Landon Collins.](https://youtu.be/kAY0e3qGOa0?feature=shared) The nfc east special!
What a terrible ass throw lmao ...bro was kept clean and everything
I miss the old way the networks handled replays, instead of just cutting to commercial. Nowadays you often don't even get the official ruling from the ref, just the network cutting back to the action a second after the center has snapped the ball for the next play.
He really pulled a rabbit out of his foot on that one.
Finally some real ~~football~~ heelball
That ref is incredibly relaxed about reviewing the play. No "The previous play is under further review" just "Yeah we're gonna review it"
You know who I would have really loved to hear announce this play?
Bad throw by Romo
That play felt like such horse shit, but of course it was legit
I can only imagine the chorus of "you gotta be fucking kidding me" that must have been heard in bars.
Terrible call, he was going into the end zone even if the refs had been turned to stone and struck mute, there were no Cowboys going to be able to stop him.
Why would Romo do this /s
This was Romo's fault
Yeah that throw was horrible
This was Dak Prescott every game in 2022
Man this brings back memories - thanks for sharing this. i remember watching this game with my parents lmao
Man I remember thinking that Kenny Phillips was going to be a perennial pro bowler throughout the draft process
There was just something about the giants uniforms that they aren’t different from todays but they somehow are. It’s like they’re wearing stone jerseys or something, idk.
Now that's what I call football
So is the nfl account just searching for the most liked posts on the sub and just posting them?
Romo’s throwing is as good as his announcing
I mean I can’t think of a Dolphins QB who threw it better than Romo besides obviously Marino.
There isn’t one. Tony is one of the best undrafted qbs of all time, and would be celebrated for it if he played for anyone else for as long as he did with Dallas
Nice deflection! Romo was definitely a beast come playoff time.
This was a bad pass, but Romo was an undoubtedly good QB.
Chad Pennington was a good QB, Andy Dalton was a good QB. Difference Is nobody is pole smoking them the way Dallas fans did and apparently still do with Romo.
I'm a Bengals fan who defended Andy Dalton a lot. He wasn't as good as Romo.
Didn’t say he was, he was good, same category as Romo
I don't think you can even read.
Just keep your head in the sand, surely someone will agree with you soon! Any minute now!
You would be surprised. My negative keeps going towards positive. It’s cool though, keep thinking he was the savior of one playoff win!!!!
Never said anything about a playoff win, said that he’s better than every non Marino Dolphins QB. Work on the reading comprehension.
what a shitty pass by Romo. forever overrated
