Cowlishaw: Most important throw of Romo's career shows he's no longer playoff...

[Genghis Khan]

My issue has always been, as you say, he did not play "great" in any of those games. He needed to be great for the flawed team to win, and he never was (despite often being great in the regular season).

For that reason I think people looked at it like he was playing down in the postseason and I don't entirely think it's an inaccurate classification.

I'm responding to Colishaw's article in the first post that called Romo a playoff liability. That's certainly an inaccurate classification, and very different from your suggestion that he plays down in the postseason.

"not great" is not a "liability" necessarily.

Detroit's defense came to play in that 1st half and executed better than they have all year. And Romo still torched them for a 76 yard TD and again in the 4th quarter.

People critical of his performance are high, probably fixated on the two Suh sacks and low throws.

Playoff football against elite competition is tough and ugly. You can't expect 100+ QB ratings, even though Romo did just that.

Key stat: 0 turnovers of any kind (pick, fumble, downs).

This play was absolutely key, and credit His Eliteness for the first of his 2 TD's on the day. Yeah, I said it.

An indicator of the new and improved Romo. Wait, there was one, but Shrimpness covered it.
