In terms of things I am generally disappointed in from the post-season, I'd have to say the pressure on Romo is the one of them.

I read Romo was hit 8 times yesterday -- not sure if that includes the 4 sacks or not. Considering Romo only threw the ball 19 times that seems like a very high percentage.

Any idea how many of the Cowboy's 10 sacks allowed are on Romo vs the line?

Is it safe to assume with another year's experience the team's pass blocking will improve.. ie Martin with another year of experience. Frederick in his 3rd year, etc?

We played the best defensive line in football. (Lions) You have to expect your sack rate to go up, but that said. Romo refused to throw the ball away. Most of those stats are Romo's fault, not the OL. I think the OL played pretty well against Green Bay.
 
Some of that is on Romo. He simply could not get the ball out of his hand these last 2 weeks. It was very irratating to watch I know that.
 
I am a big Romo fan....and I was stunned at some of the sacks he took. Especially when you consider how much experience he has. There was a play yesterday when he was out of the pocket and EVERYONE knows you just chuck it out of bounds...yet he took a sack. That is the crap I see RG3 or some other young inexperienced QB do....truly stunning!
 
Im a huge Romo supporter, but he has to learn to get rid of the ball. There were multiple times where he was chased, took a hit, got away, looked down field and then got sacked.

Id sure like to see this one...i dont recall any sacks happening outside of the pocket.
 
Romo is responsible for some of those sacks by not throwing the ball away at times, he held onto the ball three times far too long that resulted in sacks yesterday
 
Romo has taken huge strides the last few years, but I still think he needs a coach like Parcells to reign him in at times. He virtually never throws the ball away. He needs someone to get on his case about that.

That said, I think the offensive line regressed as the season went on, and I think they are very average in pass protection.
 
Yea Romo holds the ball and take a a negative play which he preached all year about how he's grown and doesn't do that anymore. Ironic
 
Yeah a little is on romo but it's a gift and a curse because he make so many highlights that way.

Those highlight plays running around trying to make something happen are much less likely to happen in the playoffs with team that generally have good defenses (if not better).
 
We need to work on running some traditional screens in the offseason or we will see even more all out blitzes next season. I know we score a lot of points but this offense has tons of room to improve.
 
and furthermore, throwing it away in a collapsed pocket = fumble...there are risks you just dont take and a sack is the best option.
