[edit] The tony romo game
Article revolves on a rather mundane wildcard football game/occurrence. A consensus on the National Football League lore is not notable to deserve an entry on the page, or let alone have its own article. The page has no sources to verify the game’s “nickname”. Additionally, the page’s content has already been mentioned on at least three articles. ShadowJester07 ►Talk 23:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. A unique and devastating playoff loss, one that partially prompted Bill Parcells to retire from coaching. Article needs to be improved - mention Romo's utterly crushed reaction, mention that he did get back in the game for a Hail Mary at the end, mention his self-loathing press appearance after the game, mention a few other things.

- Comment Prompted Bill Parcells to retire? There are no sources that explicitly state that. As stated in the NFL Lore Talk page, the event has faded from the NFL mainstream, and shows no signs of resurfacing. -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 23:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Today's Dave Anderson column in the New York Times quotes Parcells as saying that it took a 12-month effort to get to the 1 yard line in Seattle, and he can't go through that again. Wasted Time R 23:56, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Pitching Parcells retirement entirely on Romo doesn't acknowledge the whole spectrum of what happened to the CowBoys that season; Bledsoe, Vanderjagt, their break down towards the latter portion of the season, and most infamously, Owens [1][2][3] -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 00:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

- Delete No sources to suggest that this is nicknamed the "Tony Romo Game". Not very notable either.++aviper2k7++ 00:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unless it can be shown that the nickname is real, in which case redirect to National Football League playoffs, 2006-07, which already has a good description of this game. Dave6 01:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

- Delete without reliable sourcing. Montco 02:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as much as I may like to a loss by the Dallas Cowboys, it has only been three weeks and there is scant sourcing that indicates this deserves to join the ranks of NFL lore. If this is still talked about years from now, then create the article.-- danntm T C 03:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
