There is a lot of blame to go around if you look at it objectively. Not saying Romo is blameless, but there is far more to the story than people want to talk about. It is much easier to say duuuuurrrr is Romo's faullttt hurp durp...

Why was the first one on Otree? He was running parallel to the line of scrimmage, and Tchoke missed him. Maybe it was a poor route, but it's a pass that Tchoke STILL missed.

There's no such thing as choking or clutch in sports. The entire thing is a myth. It has been studied before and players always regress/improve to their career averages as the sample size grows larger.

I would resign Tony tomorrow. Offer him a seven year deal and put and end to this nonsense. No question in my mind he gives us the best chance to win for the foreseeable future.

You're not alone in thinking this. Though Tony did blow it tonight. I'd extend him, too.

Yeah Griffin is awesome. His team has the #1 rushing attack in the NFL and he wins the game. The Cowboys have one of the worst rushing offenses in the league and Romo is a choke artist. Some Cowboys fans deserve this organizational mess that it's become.

I used to like this board, but now it's become infested with trolls in game threads and dumb people in general with their own agendas.

This should be the only blame thread available to post in. No matter how much everyone else was to blame, games often come down to the team that wins is the one that makes the next to the last mistake.

Romo had the ball in his hands with a chance to win the game. I don't care about the blitzes. Yeah they were bad, they didn't force him to loft the ball up for an INT.

Its called blitzing,QBs have to make quick reads and throw the ball and make them pay for blitzing. Romo failed to do that.

Do you want me to fetch the studies? I can do that if you like. It's been studied in heavily in baseball.

Once a loser, always a loser. Same script every year, just different teams.

all the more reason the game was winnable

if you had told me before the game they would have 21 points with under 5 minutes to play, I would have taken that all day. The offense should have won this game, and it should have happened way before the last pick

SacredStar · 12-30-2012

the last 5 games before this romo was playing great....he is the reason we got this chance to play for a playoff spot. he did not play well when they needed him most. his play is like the entire season....a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs

I guess it would have been 18 for 200 on two legs.

3 INTs, inexcusable. He makes poor decisions with the ball at the worst times. This defense is pathetic but there's a good reason for it. The offense is pathetic for many reasons and injuries isn't really one of them.

He had the opportunity to win the game and he lost it, same ol same ol.

Romo has single-handedly divided this forum. He's more of a cancer than T.O. ever could be.
