wow

that was either the wrong cut or a poorly thrown ball, either way it’s another mistake

by Salman on Oct 4, 2009 5:02 PM CDT reply actions  

That's not on Romo

That was on Austin

Turnover Tony - BIG IN NAME, NO BIG GAME.
Deke - I thought Romo had regressed last year as a quarterback, Poor Mechaniics,Poor Footwork,Poor decsions, Poor Throws. His game and numbers just don't lie. Tony has to get it in his head, that he has to take better care of the football and make better decisions on the field if he wants to be an elite Quarterback. He has tools, he just has to put it all together on a consistant basis.
Aikman on Romo - When the games are close, you have to be smart with the football and that has been a problem with Tony.
JJT - by the numbers - In Romo's first 23 games as a starter, 17-6 with 50 touchdown passes, 24 interceptions and a 101.7 passer rating. The Cowboys were 12-1 and en route to earning the NFC's top playoff seed.
Since then, Romo is 11-9 as a starter with 34 touchdowns, 23 interceptions and a 85.0 passer rating.
The guy from the first 23 starts can lead the Cowboys to a championship; the guy from the last 20 starts can't.
Jimmy Johnson on Romo - KISS as in "Keep It Simple Sir: (If Romo keeps turning the ball over like he did against the Giants, KISS might stand for, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

to set up that crapshow.

Is Austin our most disappointing player this year?

I don’t see how you can blame romo for that without at least considering its austins fault

I repeat this guy is not an actual Cowboys fan.

He only jumped on the bandwagon when he was a successful yuppie in the mid-90s because they were THE TEAM at the time. Now he is a professional blogger who doesn’t really “root” for any team per se.

I’m tired of hearing that. Who cares if it’s not on Romo. That’s yet another pick because the QB and receiver were not on the same page. That’s a communication problem, and if I were the QB, I would making sure that in the 4th week of the season there were NO MORE COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS.

I remember Jimmy Jackson

catching one on the ground in preseason and just rolling it out of his hands for a turnover

may have been in overtime

He did okay in Jacksonville though

It won't be long till they get a long run.

However, Garrett seems to abandon the run.

why Troy Aikman is so great doing broadcasts

the guy was dead one when he mention on third down to go play action and throw deep.

Turnover Tony - BIG IN NAME, NO BIG GAME.
Deke - I thought Romo had regressed last year as a quarterback, Poor Mechaniics,Poor Footwork,Poor decsions, Poor Throws. His game and numbers just don't lie. Tony has to get it in his head, that he has to take better care of the football and make better decisions on the field if he wants to be an elite Quarterback. He has tools, he just has to put it all together on a consistant basis.
Aikman on Romo - When the games are close, you have to be smart with the football and that has been a problem with Tony.
JJT - by the numbers - In Romo's first 23 games as a starter, 17-6 with 50 touchdown passes, 24 interceptions and a 101.7 passer rating. The Cowboys were 12-1 and en route to earning the NFC's top playoff seed.
Since then, Romo is 11-9 as a starter with 34 touchdowns, 23 interceptions and a 85.0 passer rating.
The guy from the first 23 starts can lead the Cowboys to a championship; the guy from the last 20 starts can't.
Jimmy Johnson on Romo - KISS as in "Keep It Simple Sir: (If Romo keeps turning the ball over like he did against the Giants, KISS might stand for, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID
