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.

Cowboys Spoil Opener for G-Men and My Super Bowl XLVII Pick (Please Let Me Be Right)

Finally kickoff is here and the football season can begin.

Because of the President's speech being tomorrow night, the NFL season kicked off tonight as planned and started in New Jersey with the Dallas Cowboys going against the New York Giants. These two teams played at the end of the last season which had the Giants going into the playoffs and leaving the Cowboys eating their dust. What better way to get back at the Giants than spoiling their opening night.

Tony Romo remembered that night and played like heck to avenge it. After a less than average start to the game which included a INT, Romo rebounded and managed to lead the Cowboys down field for a TD pass to Kevin Ogletree with about a minute to go in the first half. Romo came out in the second half delivering two long TD passes in the 3rd and 4th quarter respectively with the one in the 4th being on a 1st and 30 play. The Giants would score to put it within seven but the Cowboys got the ball back and managed to kill the clock off. Cowboys win the first NFL game of the season 24-17.

Truly a phenomenal performance by Romo and the Cowboys all around. A shaky start for the team and quite a few penalties as well (13) but they managed to exploit the secondary and win the game. Kevin Ogletree made a name for himself tonight in the process catching 8 balls for 114 yards and 2 TDs. As for the Giants, time to stop celebrating and get back to the chalk board. Also, look the ball into your hands, Victor Cruz.

The season starts and who am I picking to win the Super Bowl? I'm going hometown favorite on this pick and choosing the San Francisco 49ers over the Houston Texans to win the Super Bowl. There is no way to say this isn't a bias pick. All I can say is that I am a pessimist at heart and as I make this pick, I don't believe the 49ers will win the Super Bowl. YES, I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY!!!

I'm basically trying to fight my negative side to make this pick. GO NINERS!!!

P.S. Them or the Eagles. DAMN IT!!!
