I counted at least two, maybe more. What has gotten into him?
 
I was ignoring what I could of the game day thread at that point. What was the consensus on the challenged drop? Personally, I thought that was a blown call by the refs. Other than that, he had one drop. Neither should have been close to being drops, though.

I think it was a blown call by the refs that lacked the evidence to reverse. So many plays are hard to see when they happen underneath a player. Once it was incomplete I was pretty sure it was going to be left as incomplete.
 
In Witten's defense, Romo wasn't totally inaccurate. Lots of throw at his feet.

I think we should throw more targets to Hanna and target Witten less but with greater effect. But realistically, for better or worse, it would be very difficult with Romo at qb to make such a change.

that was challenged and confirmed to be a drop.

I know. I still don't know what they thought they saw, because it looked to me like an obvious catch.

I think they got it right but I think an argument could be made that it was a catch and fumble rather than an incompletion.
 
Dude will not stay in the pocket. He bolts out of there real quick.

Exactly-guy had very little pressure on him considering the crappy spot the oline was put in again playing from way behind. He's gun shy plain and simple.

Ironically, when he needs to get out of the pocket he stays there too long. Other times, he has time but starts running around back there. I'm not a Romo basher, but something looks awry.
 
HOFer for sure, but Witten's good for at least one mistake every week.

A couple of those were done intentionally by Romo. Witten has one guy on him with another coming across from the right, so Romo throws it low because he has to get rid of it and if he puts it up high the 2nd guy can intercept it. Unfortunately, Witten is not good at going down to secure a worm burner.

Im pretty sure they were just bad throws.
