If fans of Tony Romo (and Romo too) think the criticism has been bad the last 2 off seasons then all I have to say is: They ain't seen nothing yet.
Because if Tony Romo plays poorly this Sunday or the next Sunday or the Sunday after that, and if his poor play results in the Dallas Cowboys not making the playoffs, then people will be calling for his head.
Believe it.
Romo will go from golden boy to yesterday's trash in a hurry. It will be a fall from grace that only few have experienced.
Yes, now is the time for Romo to show what he is made of. Now is the time for Romo to put three very good games together. We're talking not turning the ball over, making good decisions, and leading his team to victory.
Notice I said nothing about throwing for 300 yards and numerous touchdowns. Oh, those things would be great and would help make him look great. But he has to do more than look great. He has to be great. And that means leading the Dallas Cowboys to a 3-0 record for the rest of December.
Can he do it?
Well, I would say these next two weeks are good weeks to get started.
I know... I know... he's playing good defenses. But he's played well against good defenses plenty of times. And he's at home. And again, he doesn't have to light it up. He simply has to get the wins and not make any foolish mistakes.
The last game of the season will be the most tricky. In Philly... possible at night (if the game is switched to NBC, which I think is very possible).
That will be the final exam for Romo. Well, at least it will be until the next week when Romo will have to win his first playoff game or face the same criticism.
But let's take one game at a time here. Okay?
But let's not forget either: This is do or die time for Tony Romo.
