Tony Romo: "The Game Turns Obviously On Turnovers"

It's deja vu all over again. Tony Romo's two turnovers against the Jets had cost the Cowboys a late lead in the first week of 2011. Two great comeback wins later, Romo had turned a corner, or so we thought. This week, an even larger lead was squandered on three Tony Romo turnovers. We've hitched our wagon to Romo, we'll go where he takes us. Right now, where that will be is highly uncertain. For the second time in this short season, Romo is taking responsibility for a loss. And rightly so. There's no excuse for his second half performance.
"The game turns obviously on turnovers," Romo said. "It is the most important stat there is in a game. That’s why you protect the ball. It’s my No. 1 job and I didn’t do a well enough job of that today. For a lot of the game we did. I’m not taking anything away from them. They made a play when they had to. I shouldn’t have allowed them to have that chance."
It's inexplicable how Romo can turn a masterpiece of a game into a debacle. How can anyone look so good, then totally lose the plot in a matter of minutes? Again, it's the battle of being competitive vs. taking caution. Take his last turnover of the game for example.
Romo on the last interception:
"My feet I didn’t feel quite as set as they need to be to push it down as far as it needed to be," Romo said. "I want to watch the tape to see what it was. It’s disappointing because he was coming open past all the linebackers and there’s no safety help to that side. I wish I could have that throw back and just throw it further."
Actually, you should just want that throw back, period. Forget throwing it further. Take the checkdown, take the throw out of bounds, scramble out of the way, heck, take the sack. Do anything except float a ball over the middle from the back of your feet with no room to follow through. No matter how enticing the target is. You still had the lead. Yellow caution lights should have been going off in Romo's head.
I'd like to believe in Tony Romo, but he's making that very hard. We're still 2-2, and it's a long season, and we're going to get healthy again. The defense looks ready to compete, even the offensive line looked improved. If Romo could just learn that caution is sometimes the better route, the Cowboys might go somewhere in 2011.

How could this happen. Shame. See you after the bye. I feel like someone punched me in the belly.

Giants found a way to win

Silver lining- Eagles are last in a 1-3 hole
Those throws just shouldn't have been made, period.
I’ve posted this in another thread, but I’ll post it again here.
In Romo’s worst season where he constantly was throwing INTs he threw 19 interceptions. That was the bad Romo that we were all told he had an epiphany after last year’s Giants game that he needs to take better care of the ball. That is the old Romo, the new Romo tells us in the locker room how he knows turnovers are the most important part of the game. Right?
Well, right now Romo is on pace to throw 20 INTs this season. With 5 interceptions through 4 games he’s on pace for throwing the most interceptions of his career.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are your Sugar Bowl champions... and for the 7th year in a row Michigan still sucks.
Romo is what he is....
if he hasn’t got it by now, will he ever????
“You can’t turn the ball over , you just can’t -Bill Parcells
Yup. THAT is Romo's problem.
He doesn’t see it. He shouldn’t have made that throw. Instead of understanding that, he just wishes he had done it better. That is Romo in a nutshell. He will not change and this team will have the same ups and downs that Romo has.
I'm not hating.
Just very, very angry.

Disappointing? DISAPPOINTING!??!?!?!?!
No, Tony…
YOU ARE THE REAL DISAPPOINTMENT.
You continue to be the opponent’s MVP in every one of our losses, going all the way back to last season. And I think you’re too mentally fragile to handle the tough coaching you need. In the end, your football epitaph will be a lot like Danny White’s.
Unfortunately, that’s not nearly good enough.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
hate to say it but Danny White at least got us deep into the playoffs
And was a few fluky plays away from being in a SB or 2. Romo when hot is a better passer though….
Romo's dips are the worst I've seen
The roller coaster ride with him is unacceptable.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
i have to agree 5blings.....
today , Tony did something i was hoping he wouldnt do…… turn my faith in him away.sad, but my faith is taking a walk……ill pull for the team,but i dont belive in romo.

You are like those people who thought the Rapture was coming this summer. They bought billboards and everything. When it didn't happen, they just said,
“It will happen soon enough, you’ll see”
You do see that your love for Romo is based on Faith, not reason, right?

I sure hope so, Terry. I’m not one of the fair weather fans that calls for another QB whenever Romo has a bad game. But his plays are just maddening.

Look at the Cowboys last year under Phillips/Garrett
Under Phillips:
- Romo – 1-4 – all losses close and were winnable
- Kitna – 0-2 – team quit under Phillips after Romo hurt and got blown out
Under Garrett:
- Kitna – 4-2 – less talented, but more consistent; both losses were winnable
- McGee – 1-1 – filled in after Kitna’s injury; overcame deep early hole and were poised to win Christmas game w/Arizona
..., Longhorns, and Spurs - all undefeated in 2011-12.
hate to say it but Danny White at least got us deep into the playoffs
White benefited from having a very talented team. This team is not even close to any of White’s teams of the early 80’s. That said, I am sorely disappointed in Romo. After the last couple of games, I had thought that he was doing better, that he could at least bottle up the Favre impulses. We can call for another QB but it is not realistic. Romo is it and Garrett and Wade Wilson should do a better job in coaching him up.
White did a lot more than Romo's done.
White had task of following Roger, maybe the greatest ever.
Lock n Load
People will remember him as the next long-term QB after Aikman
…so I think they will feel similarly.

I think it’s who he is. He can’t unlearn it because the same thing that makes him do great stuff like playing through broken ribs makes him throw stupid interceptions.

Romo
Just never seen anything like him at qb. The guy can look like a hall of famer one half. Then second half look like a combo of Quincy Carter and Ryan Leaf. Everytime we all get faith in Romo he chokes. He will never lead a team to the super bowl just what Deion Sanders is saying. It is what it is Cowboy fans.
He's 31... time is up...

And it's Jerry's fault.
Jerry wasted what could have been good with Wade and company. Garrett is a fail. Romo is a fail. Jerry is the ultimate fail.
Garrett and his lack of commitment to the running game. The lack of a real rb when this team desperately needs one. The lack of leadership from the gm.

I disagree
How can you pin this on Jerry?
Dallas’ coaches and players played masterfully at times in the 2 losses. The key element in each is Romo’s inability to throw a ball away and live to fight another play.
You make that about Jerry?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Jerry never had an option. He put all his eggs in Tony's basket.
He has only drafted McGee. Jerry falls in love with a qb and doesn’t try to upgrade. Romo is better than Bledsoe but even Jerry said he thought Bledsoe should have played the second half that Monday night vs the Giants Who’s fault is this ?.
Jerry hired Garrett. Garrett is a fail. Garrett want to play tinker toys with his rb’s instead of finding a legit big time rb. Passing 48 times a game will cause u to lose more times than not.
Then some on here think rb’s grow on trees yet Dallas can’t find a real one..

If we get a rookie, then Ware and Rat will be retired by the time the QB starts maturing.
in the words of macgruber
never ever say never ever lol yeah my fellow cowboy fans this loss blows but romo is who he is imo he’s good enough to win it all but his careless mistakes need to stop, something that may/may not happen we’ll see… sorry romo but i can’t defend u this wk man u screwed up
he's like having a nice and hot girlfriend ho happens to be too "friendly" with guys
she says he won’t do it again but she will, you love her and all, you’ll forgive but you’ll always know she’s not goin to change, or when you have either a daughter or son who seem to be in trouble all the time, grown up people, who still acts like teenagers or something, you’ll love ‘em forever, you’ll help but right at the bottom you’ll always know they’re going to be always the same and at some point hope for they to change will be gone
as long as Tony reamins QB of this team i’ll support him, maybe even if he plays his last years for another team, i still have some hope, but if he deliver another mess of this proportion, i’ll support him but knowing he’s not gonna take us anywhere

How many INT's will he throw against New England when they're losing 21-3?
I really believe that he could be benched after that game. You read it here first.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Well, if he does stink up that game and he doesn't get benched, then the other players won't buy into JG's big talk about accountability

by lostar2009 on Oct 2, 2011 7:47 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
a 3rd meltdown within the next couple games
would get him benched I think.
This is different from the drew bledsoe situation because Bledsoe played like crap in 2006 and Romo has only played like flaming garbage in 3 quarters. But 3 qb meltdown losses would force Garrett to do something I think.
I agree, foyes
…and I think the pressure to score that NE poses will force Romo to again, show his true colors.
The end may be near.
Does JG like McGee?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I'm not the one who is delusional
Mirror check, buddy.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I know this:
Garrett is desperate to win; he wants it bad. His loyalty is to winning and if he perceives that another qb on this roster gives him a better chance, I think he’ll make the change. It would be the ultimate message of accountability.

The Pillar of Our Franchise...
Jerry didn’t admit it,but when you start 3 linemen with a combined zero starts, you’re in a retooling year. But we’re supposed to be BUILDING AROUND Tony Romo, and he’s lost two games single-handedly. I just don’t know where we go from here. He’s just not it right now, and it’s looking more and more likely like he ever will .
Greetings from the Humungus, the Ruler of the Wasteland, the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-A. I laugh at your puny plans.
Well said
The core of this team needs an overhaul.
Romo has peaked and now, we’re seeing what the downside looks like.
That said, I like what Garrett and Ryan are doing.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I think Garrett's management of the game was what lost it.
He put plays in that helped Romo fail. Yes, Romo threw the picks, but in a couple of them, they were not at all what the team should have been doing.
Formerly Pineywoods - different name, same cockeyed view of the world.
Jason Garrett - Lord of Order
Rob Ryan - Lord of Chaos
The slant was covered, shouldn't have been thrown, The pass to Witten was off his back foot, the pass Barbie int was a f'up.
Please tell me what Garrett did wrong
Lock n Load
And plays have progressions...
so Romo has the option to look elsewhere of throw it away. I can’t pin that on Garrett.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
exactly
I thought Garrett called a great game till the end. This shouldn’t have been close, but Romo messed it up. Garrett had some questionable playcalls towards the end, but at that point the OL was playing poorly, Romo was playing poorly, RObinson was hurt and you knew we weren’t gonna do anything good on offense.
Agreed
Romo is a 31 year old veteran. He should need to have his hand held at this stage of his career.
"Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication." --Roger Staubach
On the interception intended for Witten...
…I was screaming at the tv for him to check down into the flat. I don’t know if it was Murray or Felix, but whoever had plenty of daylight in front, and all we needed was to extend the drive. He made a bad throw on the play to boot.
The pass Barbie intercepted was a horrible idea to throw by Romo, a horrible throw, and actually a decent play by Carpenter all wrapped up in one play.
The slant was another decision that shouldn’t have been made. Robinson was covered. Granted, it was a heck of play by the DB…but that ball shouldn’t have been thrown.
The Jets loss I still blame a blocked punt for 6.
This game, however, was all Romo. I think he’ll bounce back. And I still believe his teammates will rally around him until proven otherwise. Maybe that’s all that matters here…

Garrett can't call a "if Dez is double-covered don't throw to him" play
or a “if Witten is open but you have two DTs right in your face don’t throw the pass” play
A veteran QB has to know to throw the ball away and live for the next play. When’s the last time you saw Tony throw the ball away? Watch Rodgers, he does it all the time and he’s got 8 TDs and only 1 INT this year.

Say what you want about Romo's garbage play...
but the real back breakers for the game? The mother f-ing first and goals from the ONE YARD LINE that never made it in to the end zone. We will never win close games when we continue to have these situations come up. Not coming away with a touchdown is unacceptable.
5 this team needs to be totally rebuilt. Time to trade and go full blown rebuilding mode.
8-8 or 9-7 screw up your draft posiition.
First move that needs to be made is the gm needs to be ousted. He has instilled a losing mentality.

The GM has ceded a lot of control to Jason and Stephen.
…so you’d better lump them in as well.
But again, I disagree.
If Jerry had a losing mentality, Wade would still be HC.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Jerry wasted the good years of Rat and Ware. Jerry hiring his son does nothing for the team.
How about hiring a real gm. Stephen ? really ? Dude rode his dad’s coattails. It’s not just Jerry with a losing mentality , it’s the whole team. They invent ways, find ways. look for ways to lose. It starts at the top.

I'm still good with Garrett as HC
He and RR have this team playing very good football. Their qb just needs to stop giving away games.
I agree. Garrett isn't perfect. No HC is
The reason we feel like we’ve wasted the best years of some of our premiere talent is because we’ve jumped the gun far too quickly before. We’ve got a good, smart HC who’s surrounded himself with good assistants like Ryan. Lets let him build this team the way he sees fit for awhile and see if it grows with him. I’m mad at the stupid mistakes Romo made today but not going to throw out all of the coaches who I think have done a good job for the most part because of what Romo did today

I'm not sure this is his downside
but Jon Kitna disabused me of the notion that Romo is the be all end all for this team. A lesser qb whose less mistake prone/has a confidence that isn’t easily rattled could come in and be an improvement I’m thinking. Who knows, that may be Kitna or McGee, though they are obviously not the long term answer
The age old question
When do you play your young guys to see what you have? It may be too soon. But this team is staring at 2-3.

well the good news is
we are playing our young guys everywhere except qb.
I just don’t see us going with McGee or Kitna. I loved Kitna last year, but its hard for me to believe he will play that well again. And with healthier wrs, Romo is the better qb to take advantage of them. I think we’re just going to have to live with whatever good or bad Romo does for us this year.
interesting thought about rebuilding! The first step to a good rebuilding effort, imo, is to getting a quality OL to gel
then stick the new QB behind an established line. Dallas has a helluva lot of good players so maybe that rebuild as such will be short

May the force be with the Star.......... always!!!
Wait until the next draft...
and hope they draft a QB in the first or second round… Not going to fix this problem overnight or even with the talent we have.

I think some blame is on the coach too…why cant we go to the run game when we are up 23 pts. I say bring Bill Cowher next year
Unfortunately JG's
Closest member of the coaching tree is not Bill Walsh or Don Coryell. It’s Mike Martz. I think he is somewhat responsible for Romo’s behavior by passing when he should just calm down and run the ball. Like Romo, I haven’t seen much evidence he’ll ever change either.
I thought it was Norv Turner

The name has been left off to protect the innocent. Unfortunately the search function still exists.
the only comparison to Martz is the high % of passing plays
they seem to structure the passing attack nothing alike.. which is a good thing for Dallas imo!

More than anything what drives me nuts is
That when the cowboys make a mistake reuslting in a score they seem to play right into everyones fears and keep compiling the mistakes.
So you get picked twice for 2 tds, yet your still up 10 points. But nope, they just keep compiling mistake after mistake
Not just romo but the team in general. Had the Defense made one play down the strech it could have preserved the lead. Thats something I see with the steelers do for instance. Ben runs around fumbling, throwing pics but the rest of the team doesnt follow his lead.
"Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk"
I wouldn't say we kept making mistake after mistake,
Detroit took it to us once we opened the door. Their D played better and their OL played better.
what I dont like is TR regressed further than the Jets game,
his picks were not only picks, but pick sixes, two of those a game can kill any lead. Maybe he has double personality disorder, he looked soo good the first half of the game and than so bad the second, go figure
not making excuses for Romo but
Barbie carpenter was runing around slower than my grandma and no one could tackle him? Jon phillips looked silly grabbing at mid air when carpenter was cornered.
the way this season is going they will have to practice tackling on offense to save pic 6’s

Get the popcorn ready...
"[Sean] Lee has more value now...than our entire 2010 draft"--- An Eagles' fan.
If a "value" QB falls to us we should look to draft him, even if we have Tom Brady as our QB...
…it makes sense to always be grooming one…play him or trade him for draft picks 3-4 years in…even if you hate Romo, there isn’t anyone behind him right now that will perform better…even if you draft Andrew Luck, he would still be a couple of years away from being a solid starter.
Agreed... But does the mean you would put...
QB higher on the list of priorities than CB?
"[Sean] Lee has more value now...than our entire 2010 draft"--- An Eagles' fan.
Again...the word "value"...if a "Rodgers" fall to us in the 20's like it did for GB...hell yes.
But I wouldn’t spend a high draft pick unless it had value…kinda like what we did the past 2 drafts. Draft best player available with an eye towards value…if a stud QB falls then take him…
Thing is I think it won't happen unless Jerry and Co go into the first round...
with that as a priority. If we go in thinking we are just filling holes, we will end up drafting a CB. We are beyond filling holes. I am now convinced a QB will make much more of a difference than a top replacement for Newman.

As much as I hate Romo right now, if you gave him Dez, Miles, Witten and Felix, Dallas would be 4-0 easy, too.
Romo hasn’t had them at full health and sometimes not at all. With our injuries and Newton, we would be 0-4.
Now on to Romo, until he changes and throws check downs or throws it away, we can’t trust him.
"It’s football season and usually football players play football during football season." - Tony Romo

See Saw
I’m angry. I’m depressed. I’m downtrodden.
However, I refuse to now claim “Romo stinks.”
We clobbered the Lions. But we must see it for what is.
The first INT was just another bad decision (almost identical to the first Jets INT).
The second needed the WR to flash across.
The third was a great read but need to be thrown further.
I submit that our running game is not a strength and the Cowboys have little faith in their running game. I’m more concerned that up 24 points they wouldn’t just run and milk some clock.
Maybe it’s just a way to calm myself down, but the Cowboys seemed to have won 2 games it seemed they would lose and lost two games they should have won. They are a 2-2 team that can be MUCH better if they can get a running game going and get their DBs and WRs healthy for once.
Really?!!!!! Do you trust that if....
all those things were fixed or got better that Romo wouldnt find a way to F*%$ it up?!!!!!! How about this…our running game is like you said not good right now, our o line is young, and almost everyone is hurt or injured AND we still should have WON those games!!!!!…Ugh..some people will keep expecting different results by doing the same thing!!! THATS INSANITY!!!!!!
Running game was plenty good today
the o line was impressive, other than Tyron getting abused in the last minute.
They ran well in the 3rd quarter yet when they wanted to throw “safe” passes they end up going for 6 points the other way.
I agree that they have won the games they should loose and vice versa. Perhaps thats a good sign considering their playing the pats next

Romo cannot handle success
When his ribs are hurt and the whole world is down on him, he strings together gutty victories but when he and the team are riding high and the game should end in a blowout, something switches inside his head and he sh*ts himself.
He can be so much fun to watch but it is impossible to have faith in him. Nobody knows if he will ever win a ring but he does nothing to lead us to believe that he has what it takes.
yeah, have to get a QB, somewhere in the first 2 rounds for sure...
and BTW, where was our pass rush the whole game????
the pass rush was all up in Stafford's face all game!!
He just did a fantastic job getting rid of the ball fast. He was very rattled which stripped him of his accuracy for much of the game. The front 7 performed very well for the most part.

Is this the worst Tony Romo we've ever seen?
I know that sounds like a sensationalist headline, but think about it.
I’ve been thinking and I can’t remember another season where Tony Romo clearly lost us 2 games in the same season. He’s definitely lost us games before: Pittsburgh 08, New York 09, maybe you could say Chicago ‘10 although I think there’s more than enough blame in that game.
But I don’t think for all the “gun-slinger Tony can’t win in December” talk that he single-handedly ever lost us 2 games. I don’t think there’s every been twice like this where the entire team played well enough to win but their QB completely gave the game away.
I don’t know if it’s the over-30 talk or what, but this may be the worst Tony Romo we’ve ever seen.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are your Sugar Bowl champions... and for the 7th year in a row Michigan still sucks.
He just does not learn or can't get out of his own way!!

Let's bottom line it...even if you hate Romo, he still gives us the best chance to win until you draft a stud QB and groom him for 2 years.
Can Romo win us a Superbowl? Absolutely. Would you wager your house on it? Nope.
Wait!
Can Romo win us a Superbowl?
My answer: NO!!!
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Can he, yes, but I doubt he will.
He’s all we got until someone else comes along, it’s time to spend a draft choice on a QB to groom for a few years. JMHO
Lock n Load
That's always Bling's answer, even before you ask
You’re right. He could, but he and this team don’t look like they can.
Romo screwed up this game, but a SB team has a defense that pulls his fat from the fire, and this one couldn’t. An offense has to do the same in some games, and I’m not sure they can do that either. A few years from now, maybe. But not now.
Don't believe everything you think.
So far, I'm the one who's been right in this debate
I’ve lamented Romo’s immaturity and his lack of growth. The unkept promises you’ve made, along with others, to the contrary, have been just that…unkept promises.

I think Romo
still believes he’s at Eastern Illinois. The throws he makes would work there, but not in the NFL. Look at some of the top QBs in this league, Brady-Michigan, P. Manning-Tennesee, Brees-Purdue, Rodgers-Cal, and some of the young guys Newton-Auburn, Gabbert-Missouri, Ryan-Boston College, Sanchez-USC, Stafford-Georgia, Bradford-Oklahoma. I’m not saying that playing at a Division 1 college equals sucess in the NFL, because it’s not just about talent, it’s about drive, but it doesn’t hurt because often times you are playing and practicing against guys that have a chance to make it to the NFL, more than at lower level schools.

they could have ran every time after going up 24 and won the game. especially because the run game was actually getting nice yardage.

And then after some 3-and-outs everyone's yelling he's too conservative as Detroit scores.
I’m no JG Apologist, but Romo is an NFL, Pro Bowl QB. The OC has to trust that while he might make one, he will not make THREE stupid decisions!

Posted this in the game thread...Lions fan here, and in no way am trying to "pile-on"
but I was impressed by Romo’s first half. I’m also surprised at how easily you guys are to place all the blame on Romo for the 2nd half performance. In my opinion, Romo made one bad read and that resulted in Bobby Carpenter’s INT return for a TD.
On Chris Houston’s INT, Romo made the right read but either Houston did a great job of forcing your WR into running the route a yard deeper than he should have or Houston did a great job of breaking on the ball. Either way, he made the INT in direct contact with your WR and your WR failed to make the tackle. I don’t think you can put that on Romo.
Tony’s final INT, he read the play that your O-coordinator gave him perfectly. No safety over the top, go deep and to the corner with your pro bowl TE. The problem was Detroit ran a smart defense by keeping Tulloch underneath AND bringing pressure that resulted in Romo underthrowing the route. Tulloch made a great play on the ball and the rest was history.
As for the points given up, I know y’all have a lot of faith in Rob Ryan having posted a fair bit over here this week, but Rob absolutely failed miserably to do what he needed to do. Cowboys got almost no pressure on Stafford in the 2nd half. Whether you want to credit Detroit to halftime adjustments or discredit Ryan for failing to keep the pressure on, I don’t think y’all should be dumping on Romo as the lone culprit to this loss.
As a Lions fan, I’ve seen my fair share of epic disappointments and trust me when I say it takes a team. From head coach to starting QB to special teams coverage player, it was a team lack of effort to close out a win today.
In short, you guys have a great QB, a scary good offense once Miles is back and Felix is better, and a defense that when bringing the pressure, can disrupt even the best offenses in the league. Take that into the bye week and feel confident that having 2 full weeks to prep for New England can only work in your favor.

no hard feelings
but this is the NFL and you can`t give games away..up by 24 and lose is giving games away. WE should be 4-0 but we `re 2-2.
I don't disagree with you there.
but to put it all on Romo is unfair to Romo. It takes a team to give a 24 point game away, not just one player.

I'm upset with the defense
not getting a single sack, are you kidding me. Now I know they gt to stafford allot at times but overall the defense wasnt good enough when it had to be, in the 4th quarter. On calvins first td they only rushed 3 guys, Stafford was liteerally in the pocket for 5 minutes patting the ball. thats just asking to be molested by the freak megatron.

And thats where I put it on Ryan and not your players or Romo
Ryan loves coming with pressure and on a play where it seems to make a lot of sense to come with pressure he left it up to 3 DBs to try and defend the best WR in the league is a failure on your coordinator, not your QB.
Jonas Jerebko once killed a charging female rhinoceros in heat protecting its young with nothing more than a hook shot.
what do you want him to do rush 8 like haslett did when he left dez 1-on-1
and leave mega 1-on-1(they tried it failed)
detroit kept splitting the TE’s wide in flex positions, you cant leave those guys open from blitzing or trying to play a soft zone with 5 receiving options(which is what happened on titus youngs big catch)

I read the other reply, but didn't comment
This is twice I have seen it, so I am commenting this time.
The reason Robinson didn’t tackle Houston immediately after the interception when Houston jumped the route – watch the replay – as Robinson reached out for Houston, a Lions linebacker blocked him in the back and took him out of the the play.
Another illegal block in the back, but this one was not called or seen by officials or TV commentators.
Take away that second pick six (just a pick), and I think Dallas still wins going away. At that part of the game, Stafford and the Lions offense had done nothing.
..., Longhorns, and Spurs - all undefeated in 2011-12.
No to be too overly optomistic but didn't we show that we can dominate a "good" team?
It’s one thing to never show you can do it, but another to show that you can…it’s a lot easier to fix our problems…let Romo play lights out hair on fire in the first half, then bus drive in the end…Garrett just needs to go conservative play calling in the final quarter…

depends on which week you're asking me about
Their first game will be in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day and I can tell you that if the Lions go in there with a great record, they will play crazy good. They’ve played 3 out of their first 4 on the road and their 1 home game they won 48-3. I’m not saying the Lions will blow the Packers out. They’ll have to play their best football of the year in both halves just to have a chance at a win, but I don’t think that game will be a Packers blowout by any means.

DANNY WHITE?!!! I will take him rite NOW!!!
For all of you who are TOO young to remember, Danny White was the QB of a really bad AGING team!!!!! And it took two memorable plays to keep him out of the super bowl!!! i.e. the catch to dwight clark..etc…etc…. Its a reason that after he left the franchise went into the dark ages of the 80’s…EVERYONE WAS OLD!!!!!! Remember alot of the team was there in the superbowl win over Miami in 72 so in the early 80’s they were old!! Now that didnt stop me from crying when we lost to the Rams and the niners and I HATED Danny White but I was a kid then and now when I look back on it he has a different perspective to me!!! BUT punk butt ROMO wishes he could carry Danny Whites jockstrap!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!!!! So all of you ROMEO apologists need to stop it!!!!!!!
I still remember the consecutive penalties called against the LT (in the redzone)
in what I think was his last NFC Champ appearance versus Wash. (Washington went on to win the SB)
"[Sean] Lee has more value now...than our entire 2010 draft"--- An Eagles' fan.
I agree with you said about White.. except for the aging team part
When he took over in 80 as the starter: Dorsett was 26, Drew was 29, Too Tall was 28, Randy White was 27, Tony Hill was 25, Dennis Thurman was 24, Harvey Martin was 30 and Billy Joe was 29.. The only guys left from their first SB team was: Waters, Cole and DD Lewis. They wasnt around to long after that

"[Sean] Lee has more value now...than our entire 2010 draft"--- An Eagles' fan.
Let me interject something here
‘The Catch’ by Clark was not what beat us that day. Cowboys were driving the ball AFTER that play. We were near midfield, down by 1 pt, needing 15-20 yds for a game winning fg try.
A Danny White strip-sack-fumble recovered by SF ended our chances.
Tony reminds me of Danny in that I dont think he will ever lead us to the mountain.
But Danny’s problem was usually that he held the ball too long. Tony’s is that he is too reckless trying to fit it in places it wont go.

By now Garrett should know...
when Romo starts getting into his funk. He’s been working with Romo for years and still can’t figure out when Romo is starting to collapse and make bad decisions in a game, come on? It’s on both of them. As much as it’s Romo’s fault for the INTs, it’s Garretts fault for not adjusting the play calling when he starts seeing this mess starting to protect Romo from himself. It’s not like he hasn’t seen it before. RHG needs to switch to draws or screens and even runs to keep the clock moving when he sees this stuff happening. Send in two safe plays for Romo to use with his KILL KILL KILL when 2 seconds are left on the play clock, but don’t let him do anything that can get him in trouble.

i have been a boys fan since well, G.

I've just realized that Romo plays better when the pressure is high.
Think about it…he starts to make mistakes when he gets too confident with himself…it’s like a Nascar driver…some drivers can’t perform as well in the lead, he’s actually better when coming from behind. There is something about extreme pressure that calms Romo down…he seems more focused.
That will do it.
Brilliant.

lol. What we need is for the coaches (Garrett) to remind Romo of what needs to be done...keep his mind in the right place.
The thing is, our O Coordinator is as aggressive as Romo…that’s been proven out…we should have taken the 3 points instead of going on 4th down near the goaline…
Or at least have a Back with big strong legs.

no,
he plays better when everyone is down on him.
When pressure is high late in games, his performance is all over the place.Sometimes great. sometimes awful. Hes had some really bad 4th quarter INTs in his career, and some wonderful game winning drives

Up 7 – 0.
Fourth and goal…
Instead of taking a chippy 10 – 0 lead…Garrett goes for it.
Good play call…Felix got a head of steam but pancaked for no gain.

It could be worse...
Dallas could have blown a 20 point lead at home to the last ranked offense in football and be sitting at 1 – 3 in last place with three straight NFC losses (two at home).
I know it’s not much of a consolation but……
What is Dez Bryant's deal
Two quick TD’s and then………….and then…….and then……Laurent Robinson grabbing 8 balls….
Is Dez still so hurt he can’t go four quarters….
It’s a shame.
Hopefully the bye will get him right!
yeah he's still hurt
its hard for him to get through a full game still but then detroit may have just shifted all their focus on stopping him

man how dare you "fans" criticize the almighty Antonio "HOF" Romo?
when it was everyone else’s fault?
the defense, smh, should have ran on the field and tripped up barbie and houston on those pick sixes, speaking of which
pick 1, Carpenter is just a beast, so what if dez was double-covered with safety help over the top, he needs to bust out that and jump off barbies shoulders to make the catch
pick 2, laurent robinson, no wonder he came off the street, he’s such a bum, i cant believe he telegraphed to houston romo’s throw and still told romo to throw it so he can jump the route
pick 3, man witten, what are you doing? separating from your linebacker for a potential 70 yard catch and forcing romo to throw off his back foot and leaving stephen tulloch in your dust but wide open to catch the pick
back to defense, giving up touchdowns to calvin johnson, who is CJ? I’ve never heard of this dude and he got lucky making catches in triple coverage and such, only dallas lets Calvin Johnson go off like that in one quarter. and they couldnt stop detroit on a short field? what do you want? detroit have to go 80 yards every time? it was only 25-30 yards, man the defense sucks
oh i almost forgot the stagnant rush offense. ONLY getting 113 yards on 4.3 YPC against one of the better d-lines in the league. freaking disgrace. should be popping off for 200 yards every game. everyone else in the league is running the ball with no problem
which means the o-line was trash, couldnt run block, gave up their one and only sack with 45 seconds left in the game in desperation mode when romo was trying to save everyone’s @** from all their silly mistakes
will the rest of the team wake up and get on romo’s level? maybe if we had a kicker who could kick we wouldnt have to rely so much on the td in the redzone with the 2nd worst TD conversion percentage in the redzone. Maybe if the freaking punter could punt. I mean 54 yards per punt? c’mon step your game up to 60 Yards per punt. Its all about the stats baby. Get on romo’s level: gaudy numbers = wins

yeah, nice. The NFL is all about team play-except this game.
I’ve never seen a game so decided by one player.

I was a big Carpenter supporter
People forget he was a good nickel cover LB when he was here so that INT doesnt suprise me
In Romo we trust----NOT!!!!
they baited Romo with their play design...
Carp gets some credit for the INT return, but quite a few other lbers would’ve made that play. Romo never saw him coming.

yeah i am
should the cowboys have won…yep but the game was on garret fling the ball instead of pound the rock grind the clock mode ….hope they download that upgrade soon
This below...
…hit the nail on the head:
It’s inexplicable how Romo can turn a masterpiece of a game into a debacle. How can anyone look so good, then totally lose the plot in a matter of minutes?

i said that same thing after the jets game
hoping never having to repeat that again this season

I'm a big time Romo supporter
But even I’m shaking my head after this game. That loss was solely on you, Romo.
Do not
Squander
Big leads
period…..
That's what all of us Romo supporters are saying
I think
"Native, I think. And one of the most loyal and knowledgable Cowboys fans on the planet. We also suspect he is a cyborg with a supercomputer brain, and treat him with great respect since we anticipate he will become our supreme overlord someday. Other than that, he’s a really nice guy."
The name has been left off to protect the innocent. Unfortunately the search function still exists.
call this a big lead is an understatement
i mean this was an absolutely huge, positively insurmountable lead.
And pretty much
all he had to do was nothing. Really almost nothing would have just about been fine.

NO WAY WE GET WHRE I WANT
There is no way Romo could ever win 4 games against good teams to claim a super bowl. Time to take another route. He is who he is.
I think the time has come
To retire Romo’s jersey in the ring of honor.
First time here..... I've been a Cowboys fan for 26 years and I don't know how anyone cheering for the Cows could have a shred of faith in Romo, especially in the clutch.
I came into last year saying that I was done defending him to all my friends and family. Then he got hurt and I came into this year saying the same thing….. prove it Tony. Prove that you’re elite, finally.
Maybe it’s not true, but I feel like he makes more losing plays than winning ones. At least that’s how it seems to me. He certainly doesn’t “suck” like a lot of people will tell you. You don’t put up the kind of numbers he does and just “suck.”
I think he’s just an idiot, at this point anyhow

Why isn’t this Newbie green?
Are ya’ll that sore that we can’t keep up a tradition? Are ya’ll so sore and homers that you can’t welcome a new guy to the blog?
We’re better than that people. Rec’ this up and turn it green, regardless of what you think of what he said.

Romo...
Is the definition of a loose-cannon. He’s literally the shiniest gold to watch at times, and the most devastating terrors at others. I’m going to hate him for 2 weeks, at least until I see how he fares in the New England game. My patience runs out this season… As I’m sure is the case with the rest of us.
But have some perspective ‘boys, we’re 2-2. That’s 4/16 games. Washington’s 3-1 with New York, and Philly’s bottoming out at 1-3. There’s a lot of football to be had. This one hurts, but the way Romo is, all losses are magnified a thousand times the intensity of the sun. I’ll live with him but for one more season.
If something in sports is the worst thing that's ever happened to you, you've lived a pretty good life.
I will think he's at best 50-50
We need better from him. I’m not a hater, just a realist. Win games or go away, Tony.
The Superbowl is played three times each year: the "real" one, and the two times we play the Philadelphia Eagles.
alternatives
DON’T LIKE ROMO
SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN VINCE YOUNG
OR FATSO JAMARCUS RUSSELL.
maybe you can "coach them up"
maybe you can’t.
THAT IS YOUR ALTERNATIVE.
Good QBs are not easy to find
EAGLES GOT VICK BY TAKING A CHANCE.
AND EVEN HE CAN’T HELP THEM.
YOU WIN THE SUPERBOWL BY DRAFTING WELL AND GETTING THE BEST AVAILABLE
PLAYER.
No one is going to trade out of number one next year.
No one is going to give the Cowboys a number one for Romo.
ACCEPT REALITY.
Its all Romo
The 2 games lost were b/c of Romo. If it werent for his INTs, Dallas would have been 4-0.
DFW was having the same conversations about Dirk not being clutch all these years, but he finally proved everybody wrong. I hope Romo can learn something from Dirk and “become clutch”.
dirk wasnt considered clutch from 24-32
tony is about to turn 32 this year

An actual running game=less “safe” passes.
Not letting Romo off the hook, live and die with the type of QB he is, much easier to draft a bruising running back than a QB.
However, with the way the team has lost over the last couple of years, the problems run deeper than Romo. The rash of injuries at the skill positions hurts more. Even if all 3 of his picks were pick 6’s (assuming the PATs were good) Still up 27-24. The biggest flaws on this team arent QB, they are the secondary and running game. Still like their chances this season. And this team would go NOWHERE with Kitna or McGee at the helm. Just so people remember Kitna threw 2 picks in his 10 pass attempt outings.
While this loss is sickening, (insert optimism which is giving me hives) Garret will soon use Tanner and the rookie will provide the bruising, time management back this team needs because he has heart. And for the love of all things holy STOP BEING CUTE with formations that have Austin rushing the ball Garrett!!! Or should i say Garrote?
For the record
Kitna threw his two interceptions in the San Francisco game, and he didn’t have the benefit of working with the first team offense all week long.
I'm a proud fan of the Minnesota Twins and Dallas Cowboys!

romo finds a way to F$** it up
just another record romo breaks for the cowboys. biggest halftime lead blown by the boys in franchise history

new game plan
play romo for the first 3 quarters and get the lead then bench him. this will accomplish 2 things 1. jason will have to call a more cosevative game and 2. kitna won’t have a romolike meltdown in the 4th.
by Witten&LeeAreMonsters on Oct 3, 2011 10:17 AM CDT reply actions
whoops
shoulda been conservative not cosevative
