Romo Throws 5 Picks in Last Night's Loss

Tony Romo played a great week 1 in the Cowboys win over the Giants. It has gotten worse from there on.

The Cowboys went into last night's game a chance to go up 3-1 tied for the NFC East lead. The Chicago Bears were pretty much in the same boat just a different division. The debate has always been waging between the two respective QB's of Tony Romo and Jay Cutler and whether either one of them has what it takes to get to a Super Bowl. Last night didn't help Tony Romo's chances. Romo threw a total of five INTs on the night in which two of them were returned for TDs. His mistakes and the lack of a rushing attack led to the loss. Kyle Orton even got some playing time it as it became that bad. Cowboys lose at home, 34-18.

Maybe we should start calling him"Two-Face" Romo. That or the whole team. It's not all Tony Romo's fault for how bad the Cowboys can be but the mistakes that he can sometimes make someone wonder if he is all worth it. The whole team needs to play better, there is no doubt there. But Romo himself needs to more consistent with the ball so he can give his team a chance to comeback instead of making it worse.

2012 NFC North Preview: Lions, Packers, and Bears... Oh Why?

The NFC North this year seems like the NFC East where many teams have legitimate shots at the division title... except for the Vikings. They will likely be happy with Christian Ponder developing for another season.

As for the other three, they all certainly have what it takes to win the NFC North. The Packers have one of the best QB's in the league with Aaron Rodgers leading the aerial assault. I'm more concerned with their defense overall. You might need a QB to win a title but a good defense is still required. The Bears might have both a good QB and defense but the D is getting old. Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher are still two of the finest Linebackers in the game but their in the 30's now and could start to wear down. Urlacher is already fighting through an injury.

My pick for the NFC North is the Detroit Lions. That offense led by Matthew Stafford is phenomenal with Calvin Johnson to throw to and the defensive line led by Ndamukong Suh strikes fears in QB's everywhere. I think this is the Lions year to claim a division title and maybe more.
