Unfortunately, with the pressure Minnesota can bring, it may be hard for Romo to evaluate him... Maybe he can evaluate the O line ? The Wrs The play calling then. I am delighted Tony and Jim are calling the game ! and surprised as well .

RochesterRob Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Why Nantz and Romo for Bills at Vikings? Simple. Minnesota is viewed as a SB contender and this will be one of two opportunities to showcase them on CBS. Presumably, Nantz and Romo are scheduled for a premium AFC matchup the other time the AFCE visits the Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, he can get on my nerves on occasion. Anyone can. That's understandable. Just think his experience and knowledge of the position gets more respect from me than a fan who for whatever reason doesn't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Romo has been a fantastic analyst. He called our games well last year, and was very accurate in his descriptions of Tyrod's pro's & con's. It'll be very interesting to hear what he has to say about Allen, our O-line, and our WR corps. Hopefully fans will take it in stride if he says anything negative, rather than lash out & call Romo a hack or say he "doesn't know anything." I expect him to be pretty fair in his assessments & point out good play, as well as poor play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 FWIW. https://buffalonews.com/2018/08/28/tony-romo-wants-to-see-bills-josh-allen-show-more-trust-in-instincts-and-gut/ Romo strongly concurred with Allen's postgame comments to reporters, however, that he bore some of the responsibility for the five times he was sacked in the Buffalo Bills' 26-13 preseason loss. He couldn't quite find the open guy and it's throw it away, it's do something there," Romo said. "So that would be something I'd want to see him continue to be: reactionary. Feel it and go, regardless. You don't want to throw interceptions, but we want to see a young guy let it go. You want to see him at least trust his instincts and gut a little bit.

Jerome007 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Ha ha. Love reading the doom comments prior to the game. Was I betting on a Bills win? No, of course, but damn it, keep the fighting spirit! Romo is really THE best out there. And I loved the presnap reads he suggested Josh learn. I hope he gets to see the game with Romo's comments 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Romo would be a great QB Coach and probably a pretty good OC. Things like when the safety came down to the outside the LT and came in untouched and disrupted the play in the backfield. Romo commented how after some experience, JA would learn to audible out of a called run play to that side. I enjoy Romo a lot as a commentator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 What I like most about Romo is his coach-like demeanor before plays occur , instead of merely commenting afterward. He assesses the situation, looks at the defense and tells you what a team should do or what he would do. It’s a more informative, strategy based viewing experience. An analyst like Simms is dull as dishwater compared to Romo. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
