ARLINGTON – Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley said don’t blame quarterback Tony Romo for Sunday’s loss to Green Bay. Instead, Beasley said put part of the blame on him.

Beasley said the Romo interception on the Cowboys’ final drive was his fault. Romo tried to hit Beasley with a short pass to the right side, but Beasley stopped on the route. Romo’s pass was intercepted by Green Bay cornerback Tramon Williams at the Cowboys’ 32-yard line.

“I just saw the corner and throttled down in the hole. I don’t have the option to do that on that play,” Beasley said. “I should have kept going. I felt it. I have a good feel for holes and I felt a little hole right there but on that play I can’t really read it like that. I just have to keep going. On other plays I can do that but on that one I couldn’t. If I would have kept running, he would have hit me right in stride.”

Shouldn't of even come to that at that point in the game. Should've been Murray with the ball. Running down the clock. Wearing down the defense.

You know, what most teams do with a friggin 23 pt lead at halftime????

Gawwwwwdddd... This one stings.. Damn.

He sat down in space because he saw the CB to the outside of him. Obviously I don't know the exact play, but it really didn't seem like the wrong move on Beasley's part. QB and WR have to be on the same page and they weren't

He sat down after it looked like he was committed to break to the outside. He made his read off of the inside coverage guy, and then stopped when he saw the outside guy, completely hanging his QB out to dry.

Beasley is a class act who is taking the blame for his QB. That doesn't mean it's true. A handful of experts said Beasley did exactly what you're supposed to do on that route. Doesn't it make sense that someone would take the blame? And doesn't it also make sense that people like Tony Dungy and Troy Aikman and some more people I can't think of would know how a WR should run that route? They all said Beasley did the right thing.

Aikman called it a trap coverage, and that's what it did. Beasley did what he was supposed to do.

there are ALWAYS going to be little things that happen in games and good teams learn from them

the important thing is that game after game, these things should not be happening

dont get lost in the minutiae, look at the big picture:

1. talent is inadequate: jerry, stephen, garrett are the problem

2. coaching is bad: jason, jerry (for hiring these yes-men), kiffin, callahan are the problem

some WR's routes change in mid route depending on how the coverage acts. Based on what beasely said, his route on that play did not have the option.

I'll go with what Beasley said, but the focus on this one play is distracting from the real problems.

Damn straight. What do the fans and coaches expect out of Romo. He has to carry the offense and the defense. The man can't breathe.

If there was no built in adjustment to that play then two things, not one are horribly wrong.

1. The play design is awful. But we've seen plenty of that from Garett
2. The QB should have never thrown the ball to begin with knowing that Beasley would be running right into the boundry corner.

And all of this for a potential TWO yard gain? Brilliant.

I don't really care who is at fault. We never should have been in that position to begin with.

I'm still angry.

In fairness, it was 2nd and 1. A 1st down there is a pretty big deal.
