He has played better the last two weeks, at least turnover wise

He's coming off the best season of his career. Seems a bit premature to start worrying about "the downside."

Well that's last year, he sure isn't looking sharp THIS year. It's not just the turnovers he's missing open receivers all over the place.And I'm very concerned.

All the receivers are running the wrong routes this year cept for Witten. Last year they ran the routes better...

Romo is blessed with two WRs who can't run precise routes, and Red's offense is based on timing patterns. Romo doesn't have a large supporting cast that wants to win as bad as he does.

Last year he had Robinson.

I don't think it's either. OL problems are, IMO, the largest part of it. Some of it has been miscommunication between Romo and his receivers. Some of it is that he's played a historically efficient defense in Chicago, had a bad game, and looked like Danny White on a bad day.

[Risen Star]

Romo's posted a 97 or better QB rating in 4 of the last 5 games.

Dez and rest,except Witten are just running around like we did in the back yard as kids.

Troy Aikman couldn't work with WR's who couldn't run their routes.

He also looked really foolish when the OL was depleted.

I'm not blaming everything on Tony. I'm just trying to discuss the reasons for his decline in play this year.

He hasn't been as sharp with his passes. Is he banged up ,running for his life or just hurrying to much because he knows he doesn't have as much time..Probably all of the above.

[jobberone]

He is throwing some passes which aren't as accurate as you'd expect from him; some sailing. Not sure what's up. It's been discussed but no one here seems to have a good idea. Ask him.

As Romo goes so goes the Cowboys. That's unchanged.
