All the fuss about not being able to play well in the big games was surely put to bed last night. Ok the first half was a write off but so was everyones game offensively, from both teams.

At 19-10 and 26-17 down he showed that in clutch situations he could get the job done. And against a top rated D that up until then had given him nothing, and in fact during those drives gave him hell still.

I think he did all he could in trying to help the club win, he like the rest of didnt expect to see those long runs at the end and i dont think the Ravens did either, in fact after the second the celebrations were almost ones of embarasment from them. (except Mr Lewis )

Sorry but he missed wr's for big plays that could of sealed the game not once or twice but 3x's, and that 3 points at the half was huge we where chasing those 3 points all nite long.

I don't think he played well, but we still had a chance at the end.

I think it's unfortunate that when the game was REALLY on the line, we couldn't just get the ball back to our offense one last time. We had two shots at it.

I have no doubt in my mind that we were going to score again and win that game.

He played terrible for 3 1/2 quarters. He was missing open receivers, missing blitz pickups and holding onto the ball too long. While you can't excuse the defense's play in the 4th quarter and it was nice to see Romo sort of look like his old self in the last 8 minutes of the game, if Romo had played *decent* in the first 3 1/2 quarters we probably would've won. Instead, he keeps making the same dumb mistakes and I have to question his sense of urgency because he's so incredibly careless with the ball. QB's with 1/2 a brain know how crucial it is to protect the ball come December, but Romo keeps making horribly ill advised, don't have a chance throws.

He had a 6.8 QB rating by the beggining of the third quarter.

He was missing open receivers and not taking what the defense gave him.

Like Yakuza said, he keeps making the ill advised turnovers at at the most inopportune times. The offense was moving well when he threw up those 2 ducks.

The biggest thing that bothers me is Romo does not have that leadership that you see in top shelf QBs. It's almost like he's unprepared for the game. And it does seem like the only receiver he's totally in sync with is Witten and Crayton (if he ever throws Crayton the ball). Top shelf QBs are in sync with ALL the receivers not just one. That's coaching and I totally hang that on Jason Garrett.

He played dreadful for 3 quarters.

The defensive meltdown just overshadows somewhat how poorly the offense played. At least moost of the offense, excepting Witten and Choice.

He has an injury that would have sidelined most other QBs.
He had a defense that was in his face all but a few plays.
He had a goof calling his plays
He had a me WR who lost a huge play in the lights.
He had a center who didn't know the snap count on several plays.
he deserves some blame, but that list can get way longer than it is.

Yep, you missed it! He was average at best. Forget the last quarter stuff, that's what was happening last season when the 'Boys "found a way to win". You just cannot have turnovers in playoff type games! Those picks that Reed got were gimme's. Meanwhile, a rookie comes in and throws 'zero' picks. You can say the defense held the Ravens to 6 points after those int's, but those points are big when you have a Nick Folk who can win it at the end of the game, rather than needing a touchdown to win.

Romo and the offense stunk up the joint... Sorry but the defense got tired at the end with the offense not staying on the field long enough!
