Has Romo been exposed

[MapleLeaf]

Exactly.

It's hard to be amazing when you're off the field for all practical purposes until you're down 25....but Romo had some space and for whatever reason, he seemed afraid to take off.

Though there's no defending that INT into the endzone.

...was open for a first down on that int. intended for Witten.

Our defense lost the game guys not Romo

I agree

Romo didn't help and everyone knows how much I love Romo.

He's being game planned for, and Payton possibly exposed him, but we shall see next week when the Birds try and use the same philosophy. Will Romo be unphased and still get the job done, or is this all we get from him. I hope he shows us something next week.

LOL. They don't exaggerate height in football. This isn't modeling or Hollywood. Brees is 6'0" and Romo is 6'2". So there goes that theory concerning height and seeing over the line, a stat that is overrated because QBs mostly throw through lanes.

I agree with Sultan. Tony is 6'2". He is not a short quarterback ala Brees, Grossman, Garcia, etc. Tony does well from the pocket when given time. What makes him extra dangerous is the fact he can escape the pocket when there is pressure, and he can complete passes on the run. He doesn't leave the pocket to see the field better, he is "forced" out of the pocket. If you can keep him in the pocket, of course, he is easier to sack.

I think Tony is a good quaterback, but how good he is remains to be seen. I suppose fairweather fans will go from game to game . He has a good game, "Man, Tony is good!" He has a bad game, "Oh man, Tony is bad."
Let's see what happens in the remaining games. For now, my faith is still with Tony and the Cowboys.

Peace and out.

The Saints exposed a major weakness in Romo, and this might be bad news for us the rest of the way, the Saints constantly forced Romo to stay in the pocket, they wouldnt let him get outside, where he is the most dangerous.

I wouldn't agree with that assessment at all. He has made plenty of great passes standing right in the pocket. This game is on our D and their inabilitiy to stop NO.

I know it's hard for some to accept this.
But the blame goes to more than the defense, or Romo, or TO, etc.
The blame falls on everybody, starting with the coach, all the way down to the kicker. Oh God, the kicker. Why did I remind myself.

He got off to a slow start but the defense let them have 2 80+ yard drives that chewed up a lot of clock, you can only have offensive continuity if you are out there playing offense.

They have tape on him now! THEY HAVE TAPE!

He was playing catch up the whole game. Most of his passes were forced. The defense put us in the situation.

Agreed.

Besides, pressure makes even great quarterbacks look average - see Thomas Brady today against the Dolphins.

Well on the broadcast Madden said that most of the measurements are usually fibbed and said brees is closer to 5'10"-5'11" that is why he ended up in Purdue and not some big Texas school since he Brees is from Texas.

Brees measured at 5-11 7/8 at the 2001 combine. Romo measured an even 6-2 at the 2003 combine.

In college, Brees was listed at 6-1, and Romo was listed at 6-3.

We were ahead the second time we had the ball, and Romo either threw the ball away or badly misfired on third-and-6, killing our drive.

We were tied the third time we had the ball, and Romo overthrew Owens out of bounds deep, then threw a terrible pass behind Glenn that was intercepted.

We were down 14-7 the next two times we had the ball, and Romo threw incomplete on third down to kill both drives.

Long before we were playing catch-up, Romo was misfiring left and right, even when he wasn't under pressure. He just had a very bad game -- as did all but about three or four of our players and coaches.

Shhh, don't confuse GROZ types with facts.

Like I said in other places, the bad game I can handle. As much as a fan hates it, it does happen in this league.

I was a lot more concerned and frustrated by how this team reacts when they are taking a beating. It feels like they get popped in the nose, see blood, and decide they want to quit for the day.

True but what about the 42 points?

 

[Waffle]

They have tape on him now! THEY HAVE TAPE!

Yep. Everybody's got him all figured out now. Romo will never complete another pass ever again!

 

[AdamJT13]

Like I said, Romo was misfiring long before the Saints had scored more than 14 points, let alone 42.

If he had been sharp and accurate UNTIL he had to play catch-up, you might have a point. But he just wasn't accurate tonight at all.

 

[Waffle]

There is one word that is been overexposed tonight and that is "exposed".

You just exposed those who tonight have overexposed the word "exposed."

I agree. Bad day at the office. It happens. Did you see Tom Brady today?
