1 that could have been

Dez would be roasted alive for this play

He already has been....after the "I'll throw it where he can't drop it" game.

Then what's Romo's excuse? Excuses excuses excuses. That's the foundation of Jerry Jones and that's the foundation of the Dallas Cowboys fan now. We used to be a proud organization with proud fans who expected to win, now we look for moral victories like, he threw for 300 yards. I don't give a **** about that, show me the rings baby.

Using Super Bowl rings as the only metric for evaluating a quarterback is done only by Eli fans and people who hate Tony Romo for no reason.

Come back to this every time...using that logic, Trent Dilfer is a better QB than Dan Marino. I don't know what kind of mental gymnastics you have to do to ignore that.

This was the single most important play that could have changed the game. Dak should be forced to watch this every single day this season . Even if he gets better, this should not be forgotten.
We've ingested a lot since the loss on Sunday from every pundit and analyst there is, but this could have changed the entire game.

I 100% agree. This was the underneath crossing pattern that many of us have been screaming for. Perfect play call. Bad throw by Dak. But lets also be honest here. Gallup should have still caught that ball. Now maybe he doesn't make 40 yards because its not in stride, but he probably still gets 20. Two mistakes on that play. Dak being the biggest.

 

[benson]

Yeah, but he won in the playoffs and he'd gone to the Super Bowl multiple times before winning. Keep digging

What's it like? Being a football fan, yet knowing nothing about the game other than ring = good, no ring = bad?

 

[Tommy]

What was everybody doing in the gameday threads that these QB errors seem to be catching people by surprise? Was it really all just complaining about play calling when the penalties and the six sacks and the poor throws and missed open receivers were adding up?

Tell me the the yardage gained on the play and I’ll tell you if the game day thread complained about the play call.

 

[visionary]

Look at his footwork. Atrocious.

This

This was all about footwork and mechanics

Dak needs to actually set his feet and step into his throws
Been saying in since last year but either he does not get it or the coaches can't make him do it

This HC is complete garbage when it comes to holding his star players accountable

That is nowhere near the worst... The stuff he wasn't even looking at was the worst.

These receivers are going to give up anyway... What is the point of running down the field for nothing?

How do you want Garrett to hold him accountable regarding his footwork?

Agreed. But it’s also about the read. About halfway through his drop he should see that the LBs have committed to downfield coverage and left the short middle wide open. By then he should know MG is the read, and if he recognizes that when he should the ball should get to MG somewhere around the edge of the Panther emblem. It doesn’t actually get there until 3 steps after that and at that point MG has to be thinking about turning upfield. An earlier throw makes for an easier throw and an easier catch, especially if it’s a slightly errant throw. By Dak reading where the ball needs to go a half second or so too late he rushes it knowing the window is closing and he neglects his footwork completely.

 

[visionary]

By making him practice
By calling him out if he does not
By making sure there is a viable option behind him (There were several QBs available this year but we chose to go with Cooper Rush who is not an NFL QB )
By making sure he understands he will sit if he does not do what the coaches tell him to do

You know, the same thing a good NFL franchise and real HC would do

 

[charron]

One of many missed wide open receivers. Another had twill beat his man off the line, no safety help just green turf in front of him but Dak was too scarred to look past 5 yards in front of him, never saw a thing.

 

[Awakened]

Good lord, I had to get to the 5th page to stop reading about Romo.

 

[America's Cowboy]

People stomped on Romo's nuts for years about a botched FG attempt but these dorks keep making excuses for this Clown.

Dorks were the ones clinging hopes on the Choker for 10 long years. Told y'all after the Cabo decision he wasn't mentally strong enough or took it seriously enough to take the Cowboys to a SB. By the time he did, his body was breaking down.

I was watching the game

 

[Virginia-Dave]

Game wasn't on in DC area, so this is the first I'm seeing this play. UGH. You absolutely HAVE to make that throw. Gallup not only had open field in front of him, but the defenders in the area didn't even see that the ball was thrown. They were covering their receivers and moving away from Gallup's side of the field. He would've been running for a long time.

 

[MCMetal69]

It isn't just his (lack of) footwork....................Watch how he releases the ball and where his body is facing..............He's facing off-center slightly to his left and then throws a side-arm sling to his right with a clean pocket in front of him................

 

[Flamma]

haha, even better. People act like Romo never had talent surrounding him, that's BS.

He had talent in 2007, 2009, and 2014. The rest of the teams were garbage. Not every QB goes to the SB with three chances. Besides, he can't catch the ball for Patrick Crayton. Twice

And JG as OC in 2007 and 2009... so when we had talent we had no offensive coaching..

 

[Clove]

Tony Romo playoffs numbers:

61.6% completion percentage
1,316 yards
8 touchdowns, 2 interceptoins
93.8 QBR

He lost us one playoff game as a QB. The others we lost but he was not the player(s) that became "little boy" during the game.

He's always been a little boy via play offs, that's why we have NO NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES AND NO SUPER BOWLS!!!

 

[Clove]

You're an idiot

Your QB is weak, get a new hero.
