Deion: You Throw Two Bad Interceptions, you can get away with that with the Dolphins

[Bleu Star]

I'm not sure why everyone is so wadded up over his comments.

1. Romo had no time on that 1st INT but it's Romo. He has to just throw that away. I don't care if it's an intention grounding penalty because he spiked it into the ground. We came away from that with zero points. Had he just spiked it into the ground and ducked, we would base been in good shape for a 45 yard fg. I believe we were down on the 12 when that happened. Gotta come away with points every time we get down there. So, while many want to agree with seeing Romo fussing Dez out and putting it all on Dez, I put it on both.

2. You cannot make those mistakes against a Panthers team that will be buzzing with excitement to be on the big stage where they have an opportunity to further etch their arrival into the minds of the doubters that are still out there. I called this a trap game in chat but was reminded that Carolina has a lot of reasons to come into this nationally televise game with major chips on their shoulders.

We have to play the perfect game and I believe we can with Romo back in the saddle. So Deion was right. Why all the fuss?

Yeah dude... I don't know why they keep hating on Deion's dose of reality.

Romo was trying to knock off rust today against the top defense in football. We can't be so reactionary. He had a bad game. All quarterbacks do. Eli Manning was a turnover machine for years but got away with it because his defense won two Super Bowls for him.

Romo is who he is. But he's never had the coaching or the supporting cast required to get him a ring. Last year was the perfect storm and the officials screwed us over.

So now Romo is destined to join Don Meredith and Danny White in the Cowboys' Close But No Cigar Hall Of Fame.

Excuses.. Excuses...


Close?

Close??

2 playoff wins NOT in the same year = you NEVER got "close"

Ridiculous.



Danny White >>>> Tony Romo

Danny White did his part to get to three straight nfc title games. A finger tackle shy of going to supe bowl.

Tony Romo beat Eagles and the lions with help of COMPLETELY BOGUS PI CALL REVERSAL.

Last time I checked, Eli has 2 Super Bowl MVP trophies. He had just as much a hand in winning those Super Bowls as his defense if not more. Please just stop with the excuses.

I agree.

It's mind boggling and it sucks!

The 'lack of supporting cast" argument is interesting. My recollection is that the Cowboys were thought to be a SB caliber team during quite a few of those years.

At least two of the Romo years.

Throw in the fact that they could have "stole" a super bowl the year of "the bobble".

Romo should have one super bowl.



There is ZERO doubt that he can be amazing. Amazing comebacks.
He JUST CANT be consistent in playoffs. The proof is in the pudding.

I don't know why people are so surprised. All this time we've been saying Tony Romo can't do it alone. He needs help. He can't keep on playing like everything is on his shoulders.
So when he goes out, and we do nothing in his absence, we go back to thinking that he'll be able to do it all. We prove once again Einstein's definition of insanity. So Tony comes back and beats a weak Dolphins team, buoying our hopes - and his. Then he tries to do too much against a great team and performs the same way he has performed against other top teams when he has had to carry the franchise on his shoulders. And now his shoulders are injured.
It was just too much for Romo to bare. It doesn't surprise me at all, which is one reason I'm not as downcast. Hope is one thing. Being able to see and read the patterns and what they're telling you is another.

In short, the team did not step up; they placed all their expectations on Tony.

It reminds me of the kid on the block who picked all the fights and then waited for his big brother to show up and protect him. Fair or unfair, big brother, is hurt, tired, and maybe not able to carry the fight anymore. At least not without backup.

Exactly. This idea that Tony Romo isn't a top quarterback is absurd. But he can't do it alone. We get into situations where he has to rescue the team. And when he does, we and the team go back to the idea that he can do it alone. But he can't. And we set Romo up for injury and failure.

We really botched his career. With the right coaching and the right scheme, he would have a Super Bowl ring. But I'm convinced Garrett and Jones are enablers. Jones because he doesn't want a coach who is a disciplinarian, one who will rein in his precious cash cow in Romo and one who will keep him outside like Jimmy and Parcells did. Garrett because he's just happy to be a coach, and he's not going to rock the boat. He's going to maintain this Romo-friendly team.

I think he botched it just as much. He had several opportunities when the team was good and he personally didn't get it done. He had some of his worst games when the playoffs and the season was on the line. Yesterday was another example. Two pick 6s when you have to win out for a shot at the playoffs. I will concede that much of his career was wasted by Jerry, poor coaching, and poor drafting but he has had his opportunities to have success and he has had poor performances in many of those situations.

But I think that's a product of coaching. A player is going to do what's in him to do. It's the coach's job to coach it out of him or vice versa if he doesn't have it in him.
Romo is like Brett Favre. Recklessness and gambling are in their DNA. If that's the case, you need a coach who can curb your natural tendencies.

Favre never would be wearing a Super Bowl ring if he had stayed in Atlanta and if he had not had Holgrem. And, really, Favre should be wearing more rings. But his recklessness always caught up with him, and he grew too big for a bus-driver scheme. Translation: he wasn't going with any scheme that made him a bus driver, sort of like Dan Marino in his latter days. So he has a lot of stats but one ring.

So with Romo. The coach is there for a reason. If he sees you have tendencies that can be great for the team but detrimental too, he has to coach them out of you or manage them.

Last year was the only year where I saw true balance. We didn't place too much on Romo's shoulders, but we also used his talents perfectly. Our defense just wasn't up to par.

This year, the defense was supposed to be improved, but the running game suffered and Romo got injured.

But bottom line: it's all about coaching.

Garrett has done more to kill Romo's career than any other head coach we've had in here. It's his lack of equitable action as a coach that slays a piece of Romo's career week in and week out.

Can we draft a freaking QB now?

Looks like we'll get the chance. I don't expect the Cowboys to win another game based on past results.
But too bad this draft doesn't have an Andrew Luck.
Just, er, our luck. The one year when we could have the overall pick in the draft, and there's no Luck, Cam or Winston available.

 

[Thorsson]

Deion was right. The Romo excuse makers will probably find a way to blame yesterday's loss on Brandon Weeden.

I know.. it sucks royally. We need a reset. Start with bringing in in a head coach that isn't here just to fetch Jerry’s morning paper. Then allow that head coach to draft his QB.

I'd rather blame Golden Cock. His nickname alone deserves derision.
