So everyone was wondering which Tony Romo we would end up seeing...

we saw the "good" Romo, so I have to ask, the teams we face usually play an AWESOME game, no stupid mistakes, no easy picks

it cant be attributed to our defense every time, people say we make average QB's look elite, well they PLAY elite when they face us, play horrible when they face other teams

even today, 7 years after our last SB win, we get every team's best shot, they bring their A game when they face us, when we win, we beat the best a team can offer

its funny to think about, and it sort of shows that each 'W' this team earns IS a lot more than a 'W' another team might get

People hate the Patriots.

A good Romo would have taken advantage of 1-1 coverage on Bryant on 3rd & goal...

Doesn't seem that way to me. Just as a quick example, last year the Pats absolutely demolished the Super Bowl losers, at Heinz Field no less. That was NOT their best game.

Man I taped the game and just watched the end....I think I am gonna need to buy a defribulator on the off week.

Great freaking drive, Brady was pinpoint today and the defense played lights out, esp when we needed them. The coach I think put a lot of wind in their sails telling them to go out and get the cowboys off the field. Our D fed off of that.

Great game. Just a great game...those Ryan boys got some good D schemes...

yeah but the pats kind of always had the steelers number except for the regular season game in 04.

On some level I do believe the teams we face crank up the intensity level just because they're playing the patriots. It's now less noticeable but in 2007 you could really feel it. After all, Rex Ryan did challenge the league to beat us...hahaha.

Of course they do. Even though the Pats haven't won a SB in seven seasons, the perception is still that they're one of the best teams in the league year in and year out. That doesn't change as long as Brady is under center and Belichick is at the helm. And if this defense can shape up, this team will be scary down the stretch.

Forget Benny Hinn, when the Pats come into town, we heal the sick, the lame walk, the blind see,amazing!

Halifax - It wasn't a great game by any stretch of the imagination. It was actually a very UGLY game. Brady had 2 ints, of which the 2nd was totally his fault. Hernandez had a fumble that hurt the Pats. Slater also fumbled a KR which gave the Boys the ball back and allowed them to take a short lead, 6-3.

That being said, Rob Ryan definitely had some good schemes, but the players played well and executed well.. Our O-line was over-matched at times and missed blocking assignments. Those misses nearly got Brady killed.

I absolutely agree. That's the exact thought I had when it was 4th Q and Romo was still having a consistent game. It's been a pattern since '09 (or even '08), average teams perform better than their average when they face off. How many times have we heard the phrase "It's their Super Bowl" or they're gonna "bring out the kitchen sink" against a multitude of opponents from the '09 Saints, '09 Broncos, '09 Lions, '09 Jets x2, '10 Jets, '10 Bills, to America's Game this weekend. You can see every game that all our opponents take this team very seriously. The last team I can think of that came flat out unprepared against us was the '09 titan, and we all remember what happened in that game. If Brady/BB do get that 4th ring, it would be a work of wonder considering what they have had to face...let alone the fact that we are in the salary cap/free agency era.
