The funny thing is that Romo has made a number of poor throws in the last two games. Yesterday's INTs weren't among them, though.

He has been off, largely because of the heavy blitzing he's faced. We have to make teams pay for blitzing more consistently, whether that means better pickups by the blockers, better routes by the receivers, more creative plays called to beat the blitz in ways opponents haven't seen, or simply better throws by Tony.

The play is over, don't really care about it. Just stop with the explanations. Is it a nit picking complaint? probably so.
Aren't you the one that started this discussion? And now you don't want to actually discuss anything?

we are discussing it. It's not about the play as much as it is about the explanation.

Just seems like they are covering for him sometimes. Maybe I'm wrong, but I did wonder who they gonna blame this time

This is my issue with Tony, he has cold streaks, look at the first half of last season. I love Tony when he's on, he always exciting to watch, but does anybody believe he can put 3-4 solid play-offs games together? Please explain what gives you that confidence. He hasn't been able to get us there lately. If you watch the 22, he has people with a step on a receiver, yet he will not let it go, he simply does not have consistent accuracy. He no longer has total trust in his arm.

No one should care about a end of the half hailmary getting picked off, no need to try and blame anyone for that on, i love the call going for it there instead of sitting on the ball

The 2nd one is clear if you look the the film Romo is looking at and throwing to Beasley and Tanner cuts in front with his defender following.

Neither of the picks Sunday was bad plays on his part

Did he not let it go when Escobar had a step at the end of the Denver game? He even tripped on his olineman foot yet still trusted his arm to get it there. The play failed but it definitely is the complete opposite of what you claim has been happening. My guess is that you are looking for evidence to justify your conclusions. Oh yeah... he dropped a deep TD pass to Williams in that Denver game who, my oh my, had a step on the defender.

I guess the part that bothers me is The need for Garrett or someone else to justify his interceptions.

What bothers me, is that it bothers you that he doesn't get falsely blamed. Why would you want that when he already gets blamed for the weather and everything else as it is.
Btw, generally, Garrett does NOT come to Romo's defense on picks.

Interceptions usually aren't the fault of the QB (not just Romo).
