He doesn't do any of the stuff he did that first year. Doesn't break down the plays, doesn't play Romostradamus, etc. He just takes a ball washing angle on a few players and plays contrarian on any big plays that could go either way. He's never right on those either.
Today after a completed pass by Allen he says "And that's why they call him Mr. January!"
Who says that? Has anyone ever heard that? lol. They can't say that each of the last two years for sure after we beat them.
EDIT: :-):-) My brother just sent this link. Someone else apparently agrees with me. There's some tweets in it too.
Tony Romo tried to pay Josh Allen a compliment with a new nickname, but we’re pretty sure this one isn’t going to stick… yet.
In his young NFL career, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has played six NFL playoff games in January. His 3-3 record is apparently enough to earn him the title of “Mr. January,” that is, if you ask CBS color commentator Tony Romo.
To be fair, Allen does have a 106.6 passer rating, an average of over 285 yards per game, 14 touchdowns and 1 interception, but in January the thing that matters most is simple: Wins. To give Allen such a nickname while calling the first quarter of the Wild Card game between the Dolphins and Bills was probably a bit of a leap.
Nicknames used to mean something! They were earned!
Of course, if what he meant was that Allen has yet to get his team to February, well, that’s technically true.
Fans were not a fan of this nickname and took to Twitter to roast Romo for naming him that.
Fans roast Tony Romo for giving Josh Allen the nickname of “Mr. January”
Technically the truth fits here:
Maybe this will be the year for Allen and the Bills:
Have you ever tried to get something to catch on? It’s hard work!
Stop trying to make Mr. January happen!
As far as a better candidate for the title, right now it’s probably Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is 7-2 compared to Allen’s 3-3 in January playoff games.
Remember, Romo’s playing career only consisted of two playoff wins, so while he’s one of the smartest and more entertaining color commentators, his personal playoff experience isn’t the most expansive.
That in mind, maybe we can cut him some slack for the nickname. [Reply]
Other than he has turned into the never stop talking guy, his takes are terrible. During the Bills/Dolphins game, he made a comment about what would happen if the Dolphins went for it on 4th down and didn't make it instead of kicking. He said that the Bills would get the ball back with 1:19 left and after the FG, got the ball back with 1:15.
Amazing analysis. He used to be interesting and now it seems like he just likes to hear the sound of his own voice. Maybe this is what the NFL wants, I find it tedious and boring. [Reply]
Earlier in the season Romo seemed to have free range over his analysis. He’d be critical of players, coaches and penalties.
Now it seems he’s becoming a Collinsworth clone or like Gruden when he was in the booth where every guy is the greatest, coming up with stupid nicknames like Alien and whatever the call is on the field is justifiable even if it’s highly questionable or flat out wrong.
Its been trending that way for him this season and I just assume it’s the natural evolution of any self persevering NFL in-game star analyst. [Reply]

I think it was even before then, but there was a lot of butthurt after that World Series for sure. But yeah, I've never really understood it either. [Reply]
Pat was pretty emotionless in his calls, too. Only the subtlest of voice inflections when something interesting happened.
Note: He's my favorite play-by-play guy of all time. I'm just saying, if that's the reason you hate Buck, there's another guy widely regarded as one of the best to ever do it who had that same issue. [Reply]
