Yesterday showed what is the biggest problem with this team.
It starts with Tony Romo. Yes, this guy does, no, is forced to do entirely too much.
SO he makes a mistake or two a game, he can make up for that because he's that good.
Romo is still directing players, telling guys where to line up. Romo also has to make up for weak oline by scrambling and extending plays. Romo has to make up for the complete lack of a run game by taking ?62? attempts. Romo has to make up what I think most agree can be questionable playcalling at times.
I often griped about Romo making dumb mistakes, but good grief, yesterday showed just how much he really does do for this team. If he could just stand back and be protected on even 1/2 the pass plays, have a even semi-reliable run game and a defense that can hold the opposing team from putting together long, clock-killing drives late in a game, this team could be doing a lot better.
And the problem is Romo, because he does this. It's almost become expected that Romo will do all this. Romo needs to stand up and demand his teammates do even more to help him. He needs to stand up to his coaches and the GM and the Owner and tells them that this team needs to improve to help him. Maybe it's a little selfish, but I'd also call it leadership. It's the one thing I dunno if Romo would/could do.
