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.

You didn't watch the game then because you obviously didn't see the dropped passes. Either that or your just trolling.

They ran the majority to the their left side and gashed us. At some point, the coaches needed to find a way to stop that. Guess they didn't have time trying to cover Mo's inability to cover slants. At some point, Ware needs to play contain there instead of bull-rushing leaving that side open at times. At least have someone come in to fill the gap.

We didn't throw to Dez ONCE that last series. Romo gets locked onto Witten and throws to a rookie in crunch time.

Be careful -- Terrell Owens was run out of town for voicing such sacrilege.

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?

Such a typical over reaction. Look at the time of possession and if Williams doesn't fumble we score there. This game wasn't on the offense no matter how you try to spin it.

And switching to man to man in the secondary instead of the zone may have helped also. Rivers is too good to play zone against all the time. He'll torch you.

He's a Romo hater so he'll always, ALWAYS blame Romo.

0 scores in the 1st quarter and the 4th quarter. He doesn't get any blame for the 3rd since the chargers had the ball. The other two quarters ZERO points. That doesn't cut it.

There were no adjustments made defensively. Played a four man front no pressure and zone. Got picked apart and Claibourne really needs to step it up next week.

Did you watch the game? In the first quarter, dropped passes and some penalties killed drives. In the 4th, Williams fumbled and we didn't get the ball. NONE OF THAT is Romo's fault. I guess you just watched ESPN highlights or something.

Hmm or maybe I watched us not throw to the guy who got us our only two touchdowns ONCE while in the redzone. Maybe I watched us go to the rookie in crunchtime just like we did in Kansas City to lose that game too instead of going to the playmaker. The overall offense had one great quarter and that's it. They got shut out after that. You don't win games like that. The defense was trash, but sometimes you expect your offense to step up and vice versa.

I was against kiffen all along.
Hate that passive zone crap.

This loss falls on his shoulders and his shoulders alone. The players played hard and didn't give up. Just were dealt a bad hand by the coaches.

1. the offense scores 14 pts.
2. If Romo hits Williams in the numbers and leads him, Williams likely scores. But nobody notices the five yard pass was off target as usual.
3. The pass in the endzone to Dez was a bad throw, anybody else but Dez and that ball is dropped or picked.
4. You can't make a living throwing the ball less than ten yds, but it looks great on paper.

This will be our downfall. Kiffin will not make an adjustment. When you hire Kiffin, you pretty much know what you get, and so does the rest of the league. The 2001 Buccaneers aren't walking through that door.

Second time this year they have been ripped for 500 plus yards and 30 points. It all starts with a patch work D Line.
