Guys blaming Romo for last night

[ufcrules1]

Romo wasn't perfect, nor was the offense, in general. He missed on some throws that I'm willing to bet was affected by the wind.

Romo's throws impacted by the wind,the journeyman's throws? Not so much. How much do they pay Mccown?

 

[ufcrules1]

Romo didn't do anything to win or lose the game.

So does he get ANY blame for playing on an offense that is almost 100% healthy and not doing jack squat out there? If we want to point the finger to who deserves the vast majority of blame in that game it was clearly the defense... But the offense, minus Murray didn't do jack squat out there and there is no excuse for that. Our team is a .500 team all the way around. Everyone has played average to below average this year.

Just stop just stop just stop please for the love of god stop, you look foolish

on another board, someone said again Romo came up short in a game the team absolutely had to win, I said well first we didn't have to win the game, still control own destiny but second how can you blame someone when defence gives up 45 and he has 3TD passes and no turnovers?

Romo haters are at an all-time high in rage and frustration. They prefer seasons like last year where it's easy for them to point to all of the turnovers and make themselves happy. Now with Romo having the fewest turnovers of any QB in the league they are just insufferable. It's hilarious, now they have all become film junkies and are criticizing his footwork and other nitpicks, desperately trying to find a flaw so they can get high again. I'm glad they are miserable; couldn't happen to a more worthless, deserving bunch.

We're just so poorly coached and have no direction that I can't give Romo a ton of blame. Especially for last nights game.

Not watching TV this morning so I ask...is someone actually blaming Romo for that mess?

Yes, numerous posters here. Just laughable.

I just dont see a need to act brand new. When we win he's the first guy we look to praise, not the receiver who made the catch, or the linemen who held his block, or the running back who precisely executed his route. By the same token he shouldnt be immune from criticism in a loss either.

So your argument is that because there are people who stupidly focus entirely on the QB when things are good, we should all stupidly focus entirely on the QB when things are bad? I guess there's a kind of logic to it...

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

No one is claiming he should be immune but when he has 3 TD passes, no turnovers, the run game gets 198, how can you blame Romo that defence gave up 45?

 

[17yearsandcounting]

A garbage time touchdown and 104 yards against a Tillman-less defense that starts the only worse player in the league than Jeff Heath at safety.

Fantasy football has ruined football fans.

I've stayed off of here most of this morning so I hadn't realized that there were actually people moronic enough to even consider blaming Romo for that fiasco last night. If there are such people, glad I missed it. That would be an all-time embecile thought process.

 

[khiladi]

Kyle Orton threw an almost-pick in what, abou five throws, in this magnificent passing scheme..

We would have lost regardless of how well the offense played last night because the defense was that pathetic. That was honestly the worst defensive performance I've ever witnessed by any team in the history of my life. That being said, the passing offense was very unimpressive last night. We did an excellent job running the football. I admit the poor defensive play ruined our game plan because it seemed like we wanted to come in and establish the run. We did that and it was working. But when we fell behind, that was the time when we needed to abandon the run and make plays in the passing game. We failed to do that. So you have to blame Romo for part of that since he is the person who puts the ball in the hands of the receivers. It wouldn't have mattered because we still would have lost, but Romo still played a poor game. Just because he didn't throw any INTs doesn't mean he played well. The offensive line wasn't even that bad last night. Why could we not pass for more than 104 yards when we needed to pass the ball and we have a play-maker like Dez Bryant on the field? Whose job is it to to get the ball in Dez's hands? Answer: it's the job of the guy designing the plays and the job of the QB. So we can either blame it entirely on Callahan/Jason or we can put part of the blame on Romo too. Either Dez sucks or Romo sucks for not getting the ball in his hands. Name one other QB in the league who doesn't take advantage of having a guy like Dez to throw to... Our O-line still has problems but it's vastly improved from year's past. So how are we not getting the ball in Dez's hands? I know the play calling is awful but part of that has to go on Romo. I don't see how you can't put some of that on Romo. Everyone is at fault on this team. Even Dez for not getting open. But every now and then you have to throw it up in the air and let Dez make a play. The Lions do it with Calvin and they're a better team than us right now.

Foolish is saying that you don't expect Romo to perform at the same level as McUnknown. His offense didn't allow the Cowboys' defense to stop a drive. He isn't making any excuses today. He performed consistently. Romo didn't. Bears offense looked like it knew what it was doing. Cowboys offense looked like it didn't know what it was doing for the most part. Romo leads that offense.

No one on this site quotes Romo stats and defends him more than I do. With that said he stunk last night. If he played great it probably wouldn't have been good enough to win with the our Defensive no-show, but we will never know.

 

[burmafrd]

about 20% of the blame on Romo for the poor passing numbers. 50% on the play calling/game plan/whatever. 30% on the rest of the offense.

No turnovers. 55% Completion rate and 3 TDs. There are a whole lot of QBs in the NFL that would be VERY HAPPY and their teams EVEN HAPPIER with those kinds of numbers.

whos fault is it that a guy who was sitting on his couch this summer outperformed our 120 million dollar overpaid QB?

The stupidity of it is just unbelievable. The posters obviously have a I hate Romo agenda and will stop at nothing to further that in their own feeble minds.

Haha. Stat-citer. 3 TDs is a misrepresentation. Someone has to get it in the end zone. Last week Demarco had 2-3 TDs but he only had like 30 rushing yards. This week Romo had 3 TDs but only 104 passing yards. So I don't put too much stock into the 3 TDs, 0 INTs stat line.

Also, the 0 INTs doesn't say much when he only had 104 passing yards in a game where he needed to throw the ball. He's played way too safe this year. I could care less about fewer INTs. At least he got us to the Week 17 elimination game the past 2 years. We'll probably be too far behind Philly by the time we play them this year.

You skimmed over that 55% completion percentage too quickly. Last time I checked, that's awful. But at least he didn't have any INTs. His passer rating probably improved a little last night.

That all being said, the defense was so bad we would have lost even if Romo had a great game. But he didn't. He had a bad game. You can't play bad football the final month of the season when you're fighting for a playoff spot.

Whose fault is the state of the Cowboys? It ain't Tony Romo
