I Support Romo Thread

[RealCowboyfan]

Even though we lost today game, Im support Romo, and I believe he has what it takes to win a superbowl. Romo has the biggest chip on his shoulder than any player in the NFL for the simple fact that he's Dallas "America's Team" Cowboys Quarterback which means he has to live up to the success that Cowboys former Quarterback had as far as winning superbowls and it's like what Irvin said to Dez Bryant, let my ceiling be your floor, which basically states, you do more than I did to live up to the greatness of that position, number, etc.

Off the subject: I feel as if it is the rookie play-calling by Garrett. For example, running Tashard Choice on third down only to punt. I fully disagree with that when you only have a 3 point lead going into the last two or three minutes of the game.

I also didn't understand why Jason Garrett played into Belichek mind game into the No Huddle, instead of settling down and just mixing up the play calls of majority runs and short passes (screens, pass to runningback out of the backfield, short 5 yard pass to a wide receiver.) he decided to go no huddle and slow down the time of the game. Note to Garett> Please Garrett remember, be unpredictable!, no excuses on the penelties that put you in difficult situations which could be simply resolved by creating insurance plays(just in case you are heavily peneltalized, and last but not least what happen to Jessie Holley opportunity to play wide receiver after that game with the game with catch?

You have to put winners in critical situations. Cowboys should NEVER!, got rid of Patrick Crayton before they got rid of roy willams, BIG MISTAKE!, and my point in saying so, Cowboys would have had a for sure consistent playmaking slot wide receiver (that was one of Tony Romo's favorite targets and they got rid of him for a target Tony Romo could hardily connect with in Roy Williams, Sad what this league is coming to):bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2:

I'm not sure why we didn't attack the Pats D more today.

I wonder if it was a conscious decision by Garrett to protect Romo or if it was due to the way the Pats defended us. I will say that it is very uncharacteristic for this offense which is a vertical passing attack.

I do know we had a few drives halted by penalties and dropped passes that played a role in the game.

I also know that we have only one rushing TD in 5 games. That has got to be some sort of record for offensive futility. Houck, Garrett and Robinson have to put their heads together to get something going for when we are first and goal. Perhaps are chances are best if we start throwing into the end zone once we get in range - say from between 5 and 12 yards or so.

Whether it's Garrett or Romo or a combination of both, that's not a good sign for this team. This is their 5th year together, the offense should be a well-oiled machine. Five years is a lot more than what many teams get with their QB/OC. Of course pieces change around them but what team doesn't have changes too? Since 2007, Tom Brady has had a few different coordinators himself and yet the Pats offense never misses a beat. Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy have been together since 2008 and they're already at that level where they can pick apart any defense.

It's disappointing...they're at a point where they shouldn't be "learning on the job" or "protecting the QB."

im already tired of this garrett doesnt trust romo **** and its only been like an hour of reading it. do ppl really believe after all this time between the two of them that this is true? this is the nfl, and romo is no slouch, yeah he has made mistakes but if you think our headcoach doesnt trust him to throw it when it matters you are out of your mind. if that was true, kitna would be starting.

I think a large part of it has been the OL which is basically all-new outside of Free.

You also have to remember our idiot GM gave away one of Romo's favourite targets, Crayton, for practically nothing just so he could prove the RW11 trade wasn't a disaster. Romo is still trying to get comfortable with Dez in games as they both have to see the field the same way in order to connect. He has been missing Miles the last couple of games but Miles still probably has a sensitive Hammy. Robinson looks like a find but he only arrived here for game 3.

The offense is definitely going through a learning curve. Having 4 different OL miss games due to injury with two of them being very serious hasn't helped either.

I think this is going to be a pivotal year for Romo, he will either prove the doubters wrong or he will meet the challenge. I still think you have to draft a QB if a top prospect lands in your lap, Romo isn't exactly at the beginning of his career. Anyway you look at it though, there is still enough football left for this team to turn it around. The question becomes will they?

Romo has been proving the doubters wrong since 2006.

The only people that continue to think this is some "pivotal" year are the same people that apparently think the only big games the Cowboys play in are the ones that they lose, and that when the Cowboys win, the "real challenge comes next week" or during Week ___, or whatever.

That is true because if you have no running game, you have no balance. Phillip Tanner might be getting his opportunity to be this team back and be consistent. I believe Choice could be the team starting back and he should be given the opportunity.

I believe all these after a loss pat on the back type threads in.support of Romo and how you believe he can still win a superbowl... Kinda lame not knocking tony today. But these feel good threads are dumb.

We don't even really need this....he did his part today

Every game is a big game, this isn't baseball where you have 162 games.

Did something go on in the game day thread that makes this necessary? Really? We weren't happy with him today?

No, other than the usual the game is over after his first int.

My only issue with Romo today was that he didnt take advantage of some of the mismatches in the red zone. Dez 1-on-1 with Bowden (sp) should of been an automatic fade or slant. Instead of attacking the mismatch he runs into a stacked box.

The only pass in the end zone the entire game was the one where there were offsetting penalties. I dont see how we can expect to beat the best offense in the NFL on the road if we dont even try to get the ball into the end zone.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Romo did his part today. The defense did their part today.

The O Line, RB's, WR's, and head coach failed miserably.

Did we miss the part where the defense gave up a game winning drive for the second consecutive game? What difference does it make if they play well all game. And then fold at the end when it counts?
