Problem with all the Romo supporters is that even if we put Romo in, all it will take is ONE measly hit and we're right back to Dak. I love Tony as much as the next Romosexual on this board, but I simply do not have faith that Tony can last even a full HALF of Football, much less a full game, much more less a full super bowl run...

So...what's the problem? Then you have Dak back in and you have Sanchez ready to go play backup.

Newsflash:

Romo will not get to play: I repeat: Romo will not play per Jason Garrett. Okay, keep crying though.

Hard to know how much he receivers may have contributed to this. Dez certainly had a few missteps that were more on him than Dak. The slip on the slant was a fluke but the horrible deep route in particular was inexcusable. Both in terms of the lazy tail end of the route AND the complete dogging it he did in pursuit of Hall once the pick was made. That last part was plain disgraceful and an embarrassment. But Dak was certainly reluctant to cut it loose on many of his passes. And he lacked conviction on when to tuck it and run which was his saving grace against the Vikings. Looking forward to bounce back performance against the Bucs!
Bryant slipped on the first. Prescott's lob into coverage on 3rd and 15 was all rookie mistake. You throw the ball up to Dez in a one on one situation, not one where there is a safety waiting to pick the ball. Prescott should not be in the habit of playing "hope ball", where he makes his WR play cornerback. Prescott simply didn't trust what he was seeing...was rattled, inaccurate, confused and reticent about trying to fit balls in tight windows...the things that a confident quarterback does. He was hot garbage Sunday night. He had 6 rushes for 37 yards versus the Vikings, where he put the team on his back. He had 1 rush for 1 yard against New York. You can cry about the fumble, but the Giants served up their share of drops, fumbles and INTs. The Dallas offense simply couldn't make them pay for their turnovers.

Four games leading up to Sunday:

Bryant...21 - 352 yds - 4 TDs (16.7 ypc)
Beckham...31 - 339 yds - 3 TDs (10.9 ypc)

I noticed his failures in the pocket. He would repeatedly exit a clean pocket to allow for QB pressure into an arid throw. Yesterday was a really ugly performance from Dak. For those citing the man coverage-- then Dak should have had space to use his legs to run.


Broaddus said there really weren't any running lanes for Dak, except on the one sack from behind.

The notion that he was under duress much of the night seems a bit overblown.
The tweet in the OP says Dak had 21 attempts with a clean pocket. That's out of 40 drop backs.

Meaning he was pressured on almost half of his drop backs.

Saying the ol and the rb led this team, means the qb is a nobody.

And some of those were on him, hanging onto the ball for too long.

I wonder how many people thought the same thing every time Romo had a bad game?
That wasn't just a bad offensive performance though...that was atrocious, barely crossed midfield. Dak struggled, WRs struggled, o line looked average.

Both pics on Dez.
I am sorry, but when you throw the ball deep into double coverage it's expected to be picked. If it was anyone other than Dez on the receiving end that would be common sense. Yea the fall was on Dez but I'd I had a penny for every time Romo got blamed for something like that I would be richer than Bill Gates

I would like to see the All 22 film. And watch these receivers run their routes and if they were even close to being open. I can't remember getting much of any separation last night. None of them. It was a very poor effort all around.

This OL did not play well either.

Will have to wait for the film to see what the receivers were doing, but on the surface, that's some ugly numbers.

PFF is meaningless.

Do you realize how much man power it would require to properly evaluate all NFL games and have the results within a few hours?

They don't watch all snaps and they probably have volunteers (fans) doing the grading.

He was there. I saw him with my eyes. Throw it to him not the turf lol

Turf caused him to fumble? Turf caused him to quit on a route? He also fell down on a timing route. He was the root cause of 2 of the turnovers and was the reason they turned that pick into a 30yd return.
