Romo Can't Save the Cowboys


The Dallas Cowboys are finally getting their savior back. After missing several weeks with a broken pinky finger, Tony Romo is returning to his role as quarterback for the Boys when they take on the Washington Redskins. But Romo isn't Anne Sullivan (Miracle Worker reference, count it), he can't do it all. Sorry Dallas, Tony Romo can't come back and fix everything.

Look at it realistically. Tony Romo missed a few weeks with that finger injury so he might take some time to get back on track. It happened with Peyton Manning and I think that Peyton is a better quarterback than Romo. Face it, no matter who you are, when you miss time, it takes time to get back on track. Romo is a streaky player to begin with, when he's good, he's incredible, but when he's bad, he's worse than your grandma getting you a haypenny for your birthday. I mean, he wasn't born in Feeding Hills, Massachusetts! (Miracle Worker reference deuce).

Now we all know the truth. When Romo was gone the Cowboys straight up sucked. They were like the children of impoverished cooks during the potato famine (Miracle Worker reference trey). But you can't blame it all on the quarterbacks. They couldn't run the ball at all. They were getting stuffed no matter where they tried to run. So that goes to the offensive line and the running backs. Their defense hasn't been playing too well either. Dallas has lost 3 of their last 4 games and they're giving up a lot of points. In those three losses they gave up 24, 34, and 35 points. It's pretty tough to win games when you can't stop the other team from scoring.

So when no one on your team is playing well, you expect Tony Romo to come and save the day? Sorry but things don't work that way. The Cowboys are going to go into Washington and lose this Sunday. They might even lose a few more before they get going. But one thing is clear, they need a lot more than just Tony Romo to get things back on track.

Miracle Worker reference count - 3, beat that bitches.
