Horrible defense

[Rockport]

That combined with the early dropped passes/missed interference penalties, some ill-timed penalties on us and the fumble spelled doom for this game. I can't believe the defense played that poorly. Just sucked. Romo had a decent game but it's the ultimate team sport. He just never got the ball enough. This loss goes against the defense. And you have to put the poor defensive play squarely on the coaches. Why they didn't switch from the zone, where they were getting torched, to some man to man who knows. I bet Jerry's pissed off. He should be for this embarrassing loss.

Jerry should be pissed at himself.

Defense stunk as did the offense. Romo had one decent QUARTER. You have to play a whole game to win. Defense played like trash, but an offense that only puts up 14 points isn't a quality offensive performance.

What did Romo do wrong? He can't catch the ball too. Dropped passes killed the first quarter for us. Romo did all he could do.

I guess the talent at USC wasn't the problem after all.....lol

We left them on the field too long, and the game was still winnable.

Romo can't lead offensive drives from the sideline. The defense couldn't get off the field after halftime. We lost a whole quarter, basically.

The LB were unable to cover TE/RB which allowed 21 points.

We didn't throw to Dez ONCE that last series. Romo gets locked onto Witten and throws to a rookie in crunch time. You would think you would go to your playmaker who scored your only two touchdowns of your game. I really don't see Aikman ignoring Irvin and throwing to some rookie. 14 points isn't enough to win a game.

Offense was never on the field, defense which had played well all year and didn't play bad the first half after the 1st drive couldn't get off the field. That's really what it came down to. If we play D like that it'll be a long year.

14 pts from the offense. no criticism for them? typical...

chargers have scored 28 vs houston and 33 vs the eagles. what they did today wasn't unprecedented. at least they gave us 7 pts...what the hell did the offense do today?

And Romo still led the team down the field. Williams fumble killed the drive and the chance for the comeback. If you're blaming this on Romo, then you haven't a clue and are just a hater on a troll.

I'm guessing looking for Witten the entire second half and not Dez.

Somehow Garrett is always absolved from any blame. Of course the real reason Jerry Jones is always immune. This team looks like what it looked like two weeks ago against the Chiefs. Mediocre. That starts at the bottom. The organization has cracks at the foundation.

He didn't do anything to put points on the board early. The reason this team is the way it is because your mindset is the same as Jerry Jones, as long as you continue to sweep the problems of this offense under the rug, including Romo, we will continue to find more and more excuses why we are mediocre.

Offense wasn't great, but again they weren't on the field for most of the 2nd half also. The fumble by Williams was huge and basically ended it today.

I don't think they looked mediocre against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are destroying everyone else they play right now.

I remember posters killing Dez for the dropped pass against KC. I see you guys are going to let choir boy Witten off the hook

The offense dropped some passes and had some untimely penalties. Other than that, they never got the ball as the defense was like a wet paper bag. This loss is all on the defense. And the coaches specifically.

Like I said in the game thread. More than half of our DL is guys picked up off the street. What did we expect?
