I like Romo he has been a very good QB, and todays loss was the entire teams fault. But please I am seeing in threads Romo played great and it wasnt his faut etc, I call BS

INT put Detroit on our own 28

4 fumbles 2 lost one of them giving Detroit the ball on the Dallas 13


Romo deserves plenty of blame for todays loss

Exactly, sure he made some great plays, but his TOs killed this team at the same time. As Bad as Defense was, you don't give opposing team the ball at your or near your end zone and except the Defense to hold the opposing team. Even a good team will have trouble.

Romo killed this team with key turnovers at really bad times. And yeah, OL was bad, Defense was bad, but lets not obsolve this blame off from Romo.

[BigDFan5]

Which I included in the everybody deserves some blame. To many people trying to say Romo played great when I watched the game and he didnt play great

:hammer: exactly what I am saying

[Jimz31]

Romo...continually having to run around to make plays because we have an o-line that is letting fewer rushers in than we have blockers....yet the blame is on him? Short sighted to be sure.

Why were we even IN the game to begin with? Romo.

Lost it at the line on offense. Lost it in the backfield on defense.

[superpunk]

Why were we even IN the game to begin with? Romo.

are yu talking about Detroit? Or Dallas?

Why were we behind in the first place? I mean didnt the 3 turnovers have something to do with that? Romo deserves blame today just like the others you named

[Jimz31]

are yu talking about Detroit? Or Dallas?

Detroit was in it because they took a TD away from RW.

Detroit was in the game because they could send fewer rushers than we had o-linemen and could get pressure.

Detroit was in the game because of a faulty defensive scheme.

If Romo didn't do some of the things that he DID do, then it is a blow-out....we woulda been crushed.

[dbair1967]

blame doesnt belong with one guy...Romo really made some dumb plays but it isnt all on him either

we could run the ball a lick...pass blocking was bad...defense is beyond horrible, and our special teams killed us save Newman's TD

it was a total team effort today...starts with the coaches and should end there...Jones has to know beyond a shadow of a doubt now what he has to do...this whole staff, including Parcells needs an overhaul

we need to find the next Jimmy Johnson, not a puppet like Campo or Gailey...not a clown like Switzer and not a has been relic like Parcells...we need a fresh start

[Dale]

He is at fault. As is every other player that took the field today. Romo did a lot of positive things. He also made some mistakes. I don't think a single player played with perfection -- though Terry Glenn came mighty close off the top of my head, as did possibly Ware.

But this isn't a hang-Romo-in-Saddam-style game where we should be pondering his replacement. He wasn't "the" reason we lost.

then please quit "attacking" players as if you think you've aot a neener neener ready to give out and the opportunity finally presented itself.

romo has done better than we expected for his first NOT EVEN A FULL YEAR of play.

i'm sick and tired of people pulling out a "moment" as if it will define his entire career.

we've got a legit QB now - i'd suggest finding a way to deal with it cause he ain't going anywhere.

Romo wasn't stellar today, but I am glad that he was still trying to rally the team.

He has to make these mistakes sometime, it is important that he learns from them.

[dbair1967]

you dont really believe this do you?

we couldnt stop crap...it doesnt matter if the team has to go the length of the field or 10 yds...we cant stop anybody...the Lions had a scab team like roster today and came in our place and kicked our rear ends...

its pathetic

[spindoc]

They sure didn't help.

I think it would have been funny to see "how much worse Bledsoe makes our line look" had he put those numbers up today. People's reactions are hilarious.

He did, but in todays NFL you HAVE to have some mobility. He is a yesteryear QB.

Romo blew more than the other culprits today. He's our man and he's gonna be a great one but he blew today.

[iceberg]

when you start off "don't you dare defend *this player* - you know for a fact someone will.

this game romo has some good points and some bad ones. but if his line would give him 1/2 the protection our defense gives the other offense, he could do a lot more than he's doing now.

yes he had a bad game but i'll defend him (as i dare) as our long term answer and NOT knee jerk around and demand nothing but victory week in and week out for my absolution.

[Big Dakota]

There were times today i thought i was watching CHutch:banghead:

[PB&J]

The problem is, we are putting Romo in a position where he HAS to win the game for us. I don't think he's ready for that. I thought the QB position for us and especially Romo was "game managment". He's capable of leading a comeback victory, but not every freaking week.

[tyke1doe]

Anytime you turn the ball over in droves, you're likely going to lose.

And Romo was to blame as anyone for the loss today.

However, losing is a team effort, not an individual one.

We stop the Lions, and we're likely not throwing deep from our own territory.

Furthermore, Romo is still young. That's why I'm more patient with him.

He has grown up extremely quickly these past 10 games, and he has more growing to do. I like what I've seen given the fact we have a defense that can't stop anyone and offensive linemen who are old and stuck in the mud.

Despite today's game, he's a keeper.

[superpunk]

Despite today's game, he's a keeper.
Amen.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Romo has not looked good at all this month.

[Aikbach]

The defense is awful and Romo did them no favors by giving them short fields to defend on three separate occsaions and killing other drives with craptastic passes. This was a disappointing day for him regardless of quarterback rating especially against the Lions defense. Dreadful.

[iceberg]

Romo has not looked good at all this month.

neither has our OL.

wonder if there's a connection.

[big dog cowboy]

Blaming Romo makes as much sense as blaming Ware because he had only 3 sacks.

[NotReally]

Defense first. O line second. Romo third.


Ditto, ditto, ditto!!!

[iceberg]

Blaming Romo makes as much sense as blaming Ware because he had only 3 sacks.

I definitely wouldn't say that Romo played great, but I don't think he deserves too much blame for the loss. The only really bad plays were the fumble in Detroit territory in the beginning of the 3rd quarter and the INT. Even on the INT, Witten was illegally bumped and there should've been a flag. And hey, it's not like no QB's ever throw an INT in their own territory.

3 of the fumbles were due to poor pass protection and in the end, he brought more to the table than he took away. And if we can hold freaking Detroit to 30 points, we win the game.

Big Difference

And I knew people already were defending his poor performance which is why I made the thread. I even mentioned he had been a very good QB and the whole team was at fault



this game romo has some good points and some bad ones. but if his line would give him 1/2 the protection our defense gives the other offense, he could do a lot more than he's doing now.
Yet he fumbled 4 times and threw an INT and it wasnt on the line everytime was it?



yes he had a bad game but i'll defend him (as i dare) as our long term answer and NOT knee jerk around and demand nothing but victory week in and week out for my absolution.


Where did I demand victory? Hell where did I demand anything? I simply said he deserves some blame just as the rest of the team does. Ice your a good guy, but read what I actually type instead of putting words in my mouth please. I didnt attack any player ( I never do ) yet your suto instinct was to go on the offensive because I dared place any blame at all on Romo

[DIAF]

Romo...continually having to run around to make plays because we have an o-line that is letting fewer rushers in than we have blockers....yet the blame is on him? Short sighted to be sure.

Wait now I have an agenda because I dared to place a piece of the blame on Romo as well as the other players? :laugh2:

I like Romo as I said in the initial post, and you could ask CBZ how comfortable I feel with romo as qb as he and i have discussed it. This is not about liking or disliking anyone

[Aikbach]

and why were we on a high to begin with?

rofl ownedYou're getting defensive without reason, no one declared Romo the anti- but they've instead noted that where the quarterback goes so does the team.

His play has been down since the Giant game and the the whole team has looked lethargic in kind, no he doesn't play defense but this team isn't good enough to win shootouts or have their quarterback turn the ball over an average of twice a game the past month.

Romo is still raw, no one is saying to jettison him but he is not winning anyone's confidence with the last month of play and people are disappointed because they WANT him to succeed.

So take a chill pill and realize that most people are concerned about Romo because they care and you also need to realize he has not played up to snuff since New York.

[Jimz31]

I love it. The OL was not to blame for bledsoe sucking, but it is to blame for Romo sucking.

I have blamed the o-line for a LONG time.

Do you just come on here and post drivel without even researching the person you are replying to?

Do you think that this team would be in the playoffs without Romo? Do you think that this team wouldn't have been blown out of Romo wasn't in there?

Go back to bed.

The o-line was Bledsoe's downfall and I said it when he was replaced. But, he is a yesteryear QB....ZERO mobility. In todays NFL, you need SOME escapability!

[iceberg]

hell yeah he does, not just fumbles but careless fumbles

this lesson of common sense brought to you by me.

now, scoring 31 points should be enough.
we should be able to stop 3 rookies on an OL and a 34 year old journeyman QB who doesn't have a legitimate RB anywhere on the field.

it wasn't, and we didn't.

biggest bulk of the blame goes to the D.

romo is just more "sexy" to pick on i suppose.

Waa waaa. Bottom line, Romo hasn't performed in the last month or so and it shows in the play of our offense. Yes our line sucks but their play does not absolve your QB of blame when he coughs up the ball and makes terrible decisions.

not anymore than someone attacking his each and every move. but for some reason there's always someone who feels the need to attack in such a blind manner and in turn, someone will take up the defense of a player as their mission and get just as blind.

wake up dude. he's a good qb. we're fortunate to have him, but he can and will have bad games.

[Yakuza Rich]

I love it. The OL was not to blame for bledsoe sucking, but it is to blame for Romo sucking.

Yes, we have a suck*** OL. But Romo has done more than his part to kill the high this team was riding on a month and a half ago.

If Bledsoe was playing instead of Romo, we probably lose by at least 30 points. 3 of his fumbles (1 of which he picked up and threw for a first down) were caused by poor pass protection. He was often scrambling all day. And when Bledsoe played the running game was far more effective than it's been with Romo. Not to mention the defense was entirely better under Bledsoe.

So you've got a QB that's getting a mediocre running game, mediocre pass protection, has had plenty of dropped passes (although not today) and an atrocious defense. That usually equates to poor QB play since the QB is in a hole. Yet Romo has been inconsistent.

Bledsoe on the other hand had plenty of help, but couldn't get the job done. Romo isn't perfect, but I don't know of many QB's that would exceed with how the rest of the team is playing right now.

No i just cant stand to hear ****** like you spouting off because you have an agenda

My "agenda" is seeing this team win ball games. Mr. Romo has not been particularly helpful in that regard lately.

It pains me to think that all of this could have been avoided had Jerry just drafted a real QB instead of trying to find diamonds on the cheap for 6 years. Of course Romo is the best of the bunch, but he doesnt look to be the all-pro we so desperately want. My hope is that he develops into Jake Delhomme, if not we've thrown another 3 years down the tubes, likely.

[bbgun]

yea, that's my big issue w/cb. any critisizm to him is a jihad he must wage to defend romo's honor.

it's just as short sighted as the game by game bashers.

Haven't you heard? Romo is untouchable. He's the golden child. All his errors must be magically exculpated and explained away. Holding on to the ball too long? No problem. Losing the ball twice despite not being hit? No problem. Another braindead interception? No problem. Stupid smile on his face even after bad plays? No problem.

Let me lay it out for the sheep and shills: if you're gonna praise him for the good parts of the game today (and there was certainly some of that), then you sure as hell better lambaste him for the bad. So get cracking.

[cowboys19]

I concur.

1 pick and 4 fumbles is freaking awesome.

finally you agree with me

[iceberg]

My "agenda" is seeing this team win ball games. Mr. Romo has not been particularly helpful in that regard lately.

It pains me to think that all of this could have been avoided had Jerry just drafted a real QB instead of trying to find diamonds on the cheap for 6 years. Of course Romo is the best of the bunch, but he doesnt look to be the all-pro we so desperately want. My hope is that he develops into Jake Delhomme, if not we've thrown another 3 years down the tubes, likely.

in the last 5 years, which QB would you have taken in the 1st round when we were picking?

whining for the sake of whining should never try to be passed off as a noble cause, whiner.

[DIAF]

His game wasn't flawless, but he is the only reason we stood a chance to even tie today.

I am so glad we have him.


He was also a big reason we were IN the situation we were in. Without his 3, frankly, retarded turnovers we most likely aren't all sitting here typing and whining.

we wouldnt even be in the playoffs without Romo

get off his back

I didnt ignore anyone I said the whole team was at fault, and the thread isnt about the last month it is about today.

You are stapling a agenda tag on a Romo fan with an honest criticism

and if the defense could have held at any of hte 3 times we took the lead, we'd not be having this discussion adn romo would not have had to get crazy and improvise, increasing the chances for stupid mistakes.

[Yakuza Rich]

Haven't you heard? Romo is untouchable.

Nobody is saying that or implying that. What people are saying is that he was one of the few reasons why we were in the game and given how bad the O-Line played, many of us highly doubt there were QB's that would've done all that better.

Holding on to the ball too long? No problem.

Explain to us when he did that? In the red zone at the end of the game when Detroit new Dallas had to pass the ball?

Give me a break.

Losing the ball twice despite not being hit? No problem.

Both caused by awful pass protection. If the pass protection was *decent* we wouldn't have that problem in the first place.

Another braindead interception? No problem. Stupid smile on his face even after bad plays? No problem.

Yes, even though the refs missed an illegal chuck by Detroit on Witten, the guy that he was throwing the ball to. And god forbid a QB throws 1 INT in a game despite putting up a 110 QB rating while running for his life and having no running game. I don't know what people are thinking. WORST....QB....EVER.

Let me lay it out for the sheep and shills: if you're gonna praise him for the good parts of the game today (and there was certainly some of that), then you sure as hell better lambaste him for the bad. So get cracking.

People are critical of his bad parts of the game. But the good outweighed the bad and he didn't have much help for it. I'm not expecting the O-Line to play like the '93 Cowboys O-Line, but when he got *decent* protection, he made good plays. But too many times he was scrambling for his life and overall he put up some good numbers. I don't think 90% of the starting QB's would've played that well with the pass protection, running game, and defense Dallas had today. We made John Kitna look like Johnny Unitas today and Corey Redding look like Reggie White.

Bledsoe on the other hand had plenty of help, but couldn't get the job done. Romo isn't perfect, but I don't know of many QB's that would exceed with how the rest of the team is playing right now.



YAKUZA[/quote]

Bledsoe had plenty of help? Huh? It's the same team this year for both of them. Bledsoe 3 wins 2.5 losses, Romo 6 wins 4.5 losses.

Drops? Bledsoe had 9 passes dropped by halftime vs Tennesee verified by Parcells and the announcers.

I doubt you're talking about last year. Bledsoe had no Flozell or JuJones for half a year and no guy named Terrell Owens for the whole year. But for 3 field goals (2 chip shots) Bledsoe was a 12-4 quarterback. His Cowboys of '05
also had a 9-7 record and the strength of schedule was at least 10 notches tougher.

Bledsoe's legacy here gets worse as the Romo hype rolls on. The spin is way out of whack and the blurred vision exists even after today. Amazing.

Thank you for confirming what I've been telling these kids since halftime of the Giants game.

We end up with the same record as last year with alot more talent on the field. Our schedule this year was alot weaker also.

Romo is the only spot where got worse this year.

Bledsoe wasn't blowing out the winning teams like he was the bad teams, but Romo isn't even winning against the bad teams.


Guess what else, now we have to go on the road in the playoffs without our veteran QB. All the Romo fans keep saying, "Well this is just his first year."

My point exactly, why limp into the playoffs with an inexperienced guy who may or may not belong in the NFL with a superbowl veteran on the sideline.

This, my friends, is why parcells will be fired next monday.

[theogt]

Don't worry, the OL decided not to defend Romo either today.

[BigDFan5]

Now that he is gone we can go back to a civil discussion, thanks mods

[WV Cowboy]

We fell behind early, .. but we had regained the lead and the momentum.

Then we stopped them on offense, and had a chance to extend the lead before halftime and we would have gotten the ball to start the second half.

That's when Newman dropped the punt and gave the momentum back to the Lions.

Instead of going in at the half with a lead of 1, 4, or 8 we go in down 6.

That was a killer.

If we don't give them that score, we are kicking a FG at the end.

But losing the momentum was the worst thing.

Even with all of the problems Romo had, he drove us 99 yds for a TD late in the 4th qtr in what should have been the game-winning drive.

If the defense holds at that point we may have been able to run out the clock with Barber.

[panchucko]

Don't worry, the OL decided not to defend Romo either today.
Maybe the OL sucks, they can't defend anyone.

I know when Romo came in he was a spark, right now if our D does't get fixed it doesn't matter who is at QB, (excecpt maybe Troy and Roger) they won't be able to lead us to the promised land.

[Cochese]

He gets no help, at all. I can defend him when the runningbacks arent doing a damned thing, the defense is getting murdered by John Friggin Kitna. Expecting your first year starter be your sole provider of offense is suicide.

The defense was far better under Bledsoe this year.

Even if you want to say that the pass protection was equally as bad under Bledsoe as it was Romo, Romo had far less to work with this year than Bledsoe did this season. And last year's defense played far better than this year's defense under Romo. Plus, Romo had 14 drops in the 2nd Giants, Saints, Falcons, and 2nd Eagles game.

Bledsoe's legacy here gets worse as the Romo hype rolls on. The spin is way out of whack and the blurred vision exists even after today. Amazing.

I'd just like to see your list of the plethora of QB's that would perform much better than Romo did today with lousy pass protection, 58 rushing yards on 21 carries, and a defense that made the Lions look like the Greatest Show on Turf.

The issue isn't Romo and he certainly didn't lose the game for us. Give me average defensive play, running game, and pass protection and Romo plays a whale of a game. Give me poor defensive play, running game, and pass protection and you'll be lucky to see many QB's that are able to keep you in the game like Romo did. But I guess you're supposed to just hold onto the ball and take a sack, even if it's in the end zone.

Every game (as of late) has Romo starting off in the hole... I'm sure that is wearing on him in that he has to score 30-some points in order to even have a chance. If a team has 12 possessions a game then Romo needs to put up points on 1/2 of those-- that's a hellofa burden to put on any QB-- But a first year starter? OUCH!

INT gave them the ball on our 28 yard line

You think maybe that cost some points

Thats 13 points minimum off Romo's mistakesRead the other thread. The fumbles were a net positive for the team.

Sorry Ogt I do not need to read any thread that is going to attempt to say giving the ball away on the Lions 8, and then again on the Dallas 13 are "positive"

Those 3 turnovers were at the minimum a 13 point swing

Heh see you should have stuck around, I am making smores over his internet carcus right now

Every game (as of late) has Romo starting off in the hole... I'm sure that is wearing on him in that he has to score 30-some points in order to even have a chance. If a team has 12 possessions a game then Romo needs to put up points on 1/2 of those-- that's a hellofa burden to put on any QB-- But a first year starter? OUCH!

Yep.

However with all of that said, he needs to realize not to make some of the bonehead plays.

And let's make no mistakes there have been some bonehead plays he has made that has been lucky enough to turn into positive plays for the boys. Still they were bonehead mistakes of him trying to do too much.

heh u love saying Bone

[BrAinPaiNt]

heh u love saying Bone

:laugh2: Well with the play of the boys lately, that is about the only time the word bone comes up.:eek:

[Wood]

nobody on this team is playing well but I still like Romo ability to create plays when offensive line protection breaks down. I will say this again....you give Romo the eagles offensive line and he is a top 5 QB for next 10 years.

[Beast_from_East]

I like Romo he has been a very good QB, and todays loss was the entire teams fault. But please I am seeing in threads Romo played great and it wasnt his faut etc, I call BS

INT put Detroit on our own 28

4 fumbles 2 lost one of them giving Detroit the ball on the Dallas 13


Romo deserves plenty of blame for todays loss

I will defend Romo.......maybe the reason he was fumbling was because he was getting hit was because HE HAD TO RUN FOR HIS LIFE BACK THERE!!!

Romo was the only reason we were in this game, your boy Bledsoe would have been dropped in the zone for a safety. The defense gave up 40 freaking points to the lowly Lions and you are calling out the QB???

Do you guys even actually watch the game before yall post.....jeez.:mad:

he's defiantely made some boneheaded plays. it comes from never playing in the NFL before and not even having 1 year under his belt.

i think he is trying too hard - so i agree there. and well, with the rest of it. : )

he'll get better. he will. he'll have his good days people proclaim him a saviour and he'll have his bad days people come out and cry I TOLD YOU SO.

all qb's do, i suppose.

it's just frustrating when a game is freshly over and obviously painful, the vocal have to come out and scream for someone's head while the calmer voices have to wade through it all.

The fumble on the Lions 8 was because he held the ball to long

His fumble on the 13 he wasnt hit he dropped the ball


Romo was the only reason we were in this game, your boy Bledsoe would have been dropped in the zone for a safety.

My boy Bledsoe? Where did I mention him? I want Romo to start, but I want him to make less mistakes


The defense gave up 40 freaking points to the lowly Lions and you are calling out the QB???

I said everyone was at fault and that includes the QB



Do you guys even actually watch the game before yall post.....jeez.:mad:



Yes I did, and I know Romo played poor
