It's always an unpopular opinion, and Romo will always have his supporters, but he's 6 years in as a starter and still the exact same guy making stupid errors when you need him the most.
1. I'm not saying cut him or start either of our other QB's...he's a very good QB, but he shows no sign that he'll ever be a winner...great stat guy, but always a bonehead. He should never run into a tough situation...he's always been a fumbler in contact. And that pass...doesn't matter what he thought Bryant would do...cannot have that happen in that situation.
Funny...the snap he wasn't ready for we used to blame on Gurode..but the whole offense took off, including the receivers...on another 2nd and short, he killed the play with frantic panic and confusion...you have a young OL...just run the freakin' play.
Romo is an above average QB, and we'd stink without him, but why this many years into his career as a starter would anyone think he's actually going to be anything other than what he's shown us all along...nice stat guy who can't get it done.
2. I couldn't be more proud of the rest of the team, every single one of them. OL was far beyond my expectations...how refreshing to see so many times when Romo held the ball and jumped all around frantically, but no holding penalties...WOW. Austin and Bryant before injury were winning battles with the CBs...Felix ran hard. Should have scored even more points if not for Romo...though I have to wonder why Witten didn't put his stiff arm out on DB and get into end zone...weird.
The defense was incredible...yes, they gave up some points and plays when Jenkins was out, playing with 4th and 5th CBs and safeties...but they played their guts out, and I'm so proud of Jenkins for battling and coming back time and again...That neck bend when he led with his head looked like a spinal injury...then the hit by Burris...either of those could have put a guy out for the game...and he was still battling.
3. Bryant looked like he either quit or ran out of gas or was injured...not sure why he was even out there down the stretch the way he looked.
This game was lost for one reason...Romo fumble, almost before even being hit when all we needed was a fg for a 10 pt. lead and that incredible midfield int...
I still love the way he throws the ball and scrambles around, but when you need him most, he's the same Romo he was as a rookie...he's going to give games away that you need to win.
Just my opinion...proud of my Cowboys.
... Why in the world would you throw to a receiver who's been banged up and clearly playing at 50 %, who's going up against the best shutdown corner in the game? and not to mention had safety help over the top... continue to make me laugh folks.
