Romo: A Little Play by Play
1st half breakdown:
1st Drive:
Props to D and ST's for excellent field position (50 yard line)
Bad pass to Dez on sideline, if defender turns around he gets pick, instead charged with PI.
Bad pass to Austin (thrown behind him) almost got him royally drilled by LB (Fletcher) if thrown better Austin might have had time to juke LB, instead he gets popped as he turns around...
One good end-zone pass to Austin for TD but defender just made a good play, result is FG instead of 6....
2nd Possession:
Romo throws pass into blitzer (Carrigan?) instead of over him, he had enough time to adjust his throw.
Good 17 yd pass to #17 on the sideline...
Dez on end around runs like a man, head on hits, total stud... (Nothing to do with Romo jus sayin)
Kill kill kill shenanigans, delay of game on Romo....
Over throws a 20+ yarder to Witten who was about to get royally drilled.
Drive stalls, 64 yard punt, stellar St's...
Right before the end of the first quarter, there's Romo sitting all by himself on the bench...........like usual.
Next possession:
Ok Romo had a couple of bad shorty's, also led 2 receiver's into a defender. To lazy to be more specific its just a bunch of bad passes left and right.
Short crappy pass to Beasly, drive ends...
2 min before half:
Led Beasly into another collision...
BFF (Witten) to the rescue dink dunk..
Romo throws a duck to Harris on the sideline, if he led him it would have been a good play..
Romo picked off by D Hall over the middle, another awesome pass by Oh no.
Anybody care to help? I may be missing a few 3 yards ducks..
Ok let me save myself some time for the second half:
Over throw, under throw, bad pass, weak pass, missed multiple wide open receivers in stride, can't capitalize on open receivers, dink dunk, bff, dink, dunk, bff, fail.. (BFF = Witten - - Best Friends Forever-- LOL)
(Edit: Washington went into prevent and Romo was bailed out by a big run (Major YAC) by Dez on one play and Harris on another.) Easily accounted for over 100 yards on just 2 plays..
Not sure if Carr or Romo played the worst Turkey day, the numbers lean towards Oh no oopps-wise....
Pick again.. (Note: those few games he went without picks is because the defenders dropped a present..)
End of game:
Really nice bomb to Dez at the end of the game but he drops it after defender crashes into him. Amazing because it was about 50 yards.
The next Fail Mary goes out of bounds, #17 had one on one coverage and could have had a jump ball contest in the end zone but oh well, it got away from him and we woulda still lost by 3...
Clearly there are a whole lot more bad passes but to busy visiting over the holidays for the second half. There were also a few good ones thanks to the Prevent Defense...
Dez had a really long gain on one pass that brought up Romo's #'s as well as Harris #17 with some big YAC.. (Already mentioned)
The Apologists will blame the loss on the D, which accounts for half, the other half is on Oh no and his poor passing. Just the 1st half alone was a lot by itself....
I'm so over defending this cat, he's just not that good outside of scrambling..
It's time to sit Romo and if you are worried about his psyche then lie to the world and take him in for "X-Rays." Lie to the entire team while you're at it but Romo is shell shocked, he's totally rattled, and he's playing scared. Dude is panicking and throwing wounded ducks left and right, can't say I blame him because he is getting abused back there. It's time to give him a breather, at least for 1 full game, I'd be happy with 2 quarters. Just sit him down its embarrassing to us fans that aren't drunk on the spiked kool aide...
