Hmmm . . . maybe Romo IS the problem . . .
NFC Wild Card playoff round January 6, 2007. Cowboys trailing 21–20 on fourth-and-one’ 1:19 left in the game, Cowboys attempt a 19-yard field goal. Romo, the holder for the kick, fumbled the snap.
January 13, 2008 Division playoff game against New York Giants, 4th down with less than half a minute and no timeouts left, Romo threw into the endzone, intercepted by Giants cornerback , Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs with a 21–17 loss.
In what became a de facto third playoff game for Romo, December 28, 2008, Romo and the Cowboys failed to compete against the Eagles in a 44–6 loss. Romo committed three turnovers in the game and went 21/39 for 183 yards and no touchdowns, and again raised questions concerning Romo's performance in games of consequence.
Romo had a 104.9 passer rating in a 34-14 win of the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the 2009 playoffs, earning the first play-off win in 13 years for the Dallas Cowboys, and his own first career post-season win. However the following week in the NFC divisional rounds against the number two seed Minnesota Vikings, Romo had three fumbles (losing two), an interception and was sacked six times in the 34-3 loss.
Following the 2012 season, the future of Romo's career has been called into question. Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram commented: "Tony Romo has one year remaining on his contract, but the time has come for him to move on...He will be 33 in April of '13, and still has a few good years left but at this point he needs to go to another team that needs a quarterback."
In a Fox Sports Southwest interview, Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News also called Romo "not wired to win the last game of the season" especially "if it means extending the season."
Dan Graziano of ESPNDallas.com wrote that Romo's "record starts to become very hard to defend" due to "the oft-cited fact that he's got just the one playoff win in his entire career."
