It's Not All Romo Fault

[RealCowboyfan]

It is not all Tony Romo fault about them interceptions and mishaps. I know you want to know who I believe share the blame, which I believe the wide receivers and the offensive line plays a big part in this but overall that is not the majority of blame, the blame I feel majority goes to is JASON GARRETT. Why? first of all, let's start off with the play calling, why aren't you consistent with the run from the start.

Understand this and I know the fans that have been watching the Cowboys in the superbowl days understand this, in order to win, you have to run the football, NO MATTER WHAT!, do you think Garrett could come to dorsett or emmitt as a offensive cordinator with Tom Landry or jimmy johnson as head coach in their time and tell them we going to run the ball 10 times, how do you think the team would look at him?

I could see Landry and Johnson laughing at him along with the whole team. Garrett doesn't know this team to well. Im sure not comparing the team we had now with any of them teams. I just believe success comes with an running game. Garrett puts Romo in a messed up position in the game constantly passing the ball knowing he is mistake prone or he should know based off what he see week in and week out and the wide receivers is not catching everything. Garrett should think, what would Jimmy Johnson do? Run the football son. Jimmy Johnson even said last night on Fox that Cowboys aren't going to be successful not running the football.

Just think, you have a mistake prone quarterback that is prone to (interceptions vs. fumbles) and lately it's been detrimental +6 interceptions. Just like Vickers said "SELF-INFLICTING WOUNDS" = ROMO. Also, the offensive linemen are average at best, which means Romo doesn't have ample of time to get the ball off against a team rushing the passer like the Giants. The Wide Receivers are off and on catch and drop.

Also and Cowboys ran the ball more times in the first game than the second game. JASON GARRETT C'MON MAN.

With this in mind, why would you pass more than you run? That's what I mean by not knowing his team. Garrett does what benefits his game plan not the players. Emphasizing pass is Garrett motive which is nothing wrong with if you got a Quarterback that doesn't make mistake and is very accurate with a quick release like Kurt Warner. Tony Romo is too mistake prone to constantly throw the ball or even have the ball in his hands. I feel if Jason Garrett wants to throw the ball, he should just put Kyle Orton in because he has zip on his throw which Romo lacks. Romo throw with too much air on his ball that's exactly why he is getting picked off. The pass is not precisely to the target which Kyle Orton showed in a few games he could do. Cowboys are going to have to figure out what are they going forward future with/without Tony Romo or Garrett, one of them has to go this season if nothing changes. And Im still sticking with what I said it's not all Tony Romo Fault, but if Jerry Jones wants to continue with Garrett, I feel like Tony Romo shouldn't be with the Cowboys because of Garrett gameplan, it's mainly to pass and Tony Romo is a great Quarterback with the right gameplan and Garrett pass happy game is not good for him. Tony Romo will succeed with a running game, if anytime this season Cowboys lack a running game, they will lose gurranteed because Cowboys had to do something wrong in the game with Tony Romo being in this pass crazy offense with no unpredictability to it. Cam Newton or RG3 couldn't even succeed in this type of offense. Cowboys need a peyton manning and to be honest with you with Garrett gameplan I don't think any Quarterback will succeed, he's predictable.

I would punish Jason Garrett in Madden with his type of play calling, all I will do is plan for the pass majority of the game rushing four defenselivemen with Zone.

I basically agree with your premise.

With the combination of cruddy running game (19 yards total) along WRs who are absolutely inconsistent from one play to another, it's the INTs are not a surprise.

The offensive skill players (WRs and RBs mainly) have been terribly over-rated by both the coaching staff and fans alike.

Nobody said it was all Romo's fault. Romo certainly was part of the problem though and has been part of the problem all year.

This is the first year that I think Romo's frustration with his WR is effecting his play. He was done with Ogletree and Dez yesterday and just starting throwing to Witten and MIles only. I would too, but he has to get his head around who he can trust to run certain routes and when he can't.

You can't throw to Ogletree deep on 3rd and 1 in that situation - I don't know what he was thinking there. Of the mistakes in the game that he made, I thought that was the worst one.

On the other hand, He threw 2 nice balls to win the game and the WR's did not make the plays. That really sums up the day IMO.

I think that is valid. Romo is frustrated by the continual drops and bad routes and everything else he is getting from Dez and tree.

Its getting to him like it has not before.

Here especially is where wilson and Red Ball need to concentrate on their QB becasue he needs help from them

There is no doubt it is not all his fault Aikman saw that as well and said as much. He is going to catch blame but anyone with a ounce of sense and actually watches the games and understand the game know this as well.

The ball must be thrown before the cut is made and the QB has to trust his target will be where he has to be. You don't wait until the last second to make the throw. Are some of the ints on Romo sure they are he will get picked like any other QB. He will also put you in a position to win games as he did once again yesterday. Coaches have said for years QB's get too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses and that is a fact.

You cannot wait to throw in the NFL

You have to throw ahead of time

You have to be able to count on your WR to be where you need him to be at that time

Right now Romo cannot count on either Dez or Tree to do that

It's worse than that Burm. Romo can't count on his HC to fix these issues, let alone the GM. At what point does RHG bench Ogletree? At what point does a few good/great plays by Dez make up for the boneheaded drops and fumbles that put points on the board for the other team? These are the same issues game after game and we've gotten to the point where we lose the same way with the same players making the same mistakes game after game.

 

[DIAF]

It's never Romo fault.

 

[tomson75]

It's never Romo fault.

This strawman never gets old.

This strawman never gets old.

Kind of like Tony's turnovers.

Spin anyway you want, but Garrett has no authority to bench anyone, or he would have done it. Jerry, the HC/GM makes those decisions. And if Jerry says that Ogletree or Dez will continue to play, then that's whose going to play. It's been proven this year, when Garret wanted to replace Felix on KR, Jerry over ruled him. When Berny was playing terrible, Garret and Callahan hinted at replacing him, but Jerry said no.

Any play that follows a kill kill kill has more then likely been changed from what ever it was Garrett called by the flawless one which is about 75% of our plays so not so sure you can put the play calling on Garrett when we'll never know what he actually called

 

[CowboyGil]

I think 2 of the 4 INT's were Romo's fault. The one to Corey Webster (and to add insult to injury, the offense seems like they gave up on the play and let him get a big return on it), and the first one to that no-name scrub of a DB whom we made look like Prime Time. The offense as a unit is just in a bad place right now. The patchwork defense pretty much shuts down the SB champs in the 2nd half and the offense cannot take advantage.

Garrett calls both plays and Tony chooses one depending on the defense. So yes, Garret calls those plays.

Really? because Garrett calls both the plays that are sent in, so if the play if being killed from one call to the other it is still Garrett call.

lol.. some where playing violins even as Titanic was sinking. There is always an excuse. First it was the defense wasn't helping Romo, then it was the offensive line was horrible and not protecting him, then it was no running game to help Romo, now it is his WR's faults? When does it end? Romo is playing horrible this year. He couldn't even throw a simple hail Mary pass without throwing it 10 yards out of the end zone.

13 ints in 7 games. RG3 has only 3 and his offensive line is worse than ours, he defense is worse than ours, and his WR's are waaay worse than ours. On top of all that he is a rookie.

Romo is 100% a part of the problem here right now.

LOL.. Yep. You got to love our fans.

 

[DIAF]

I'm willing to say the problem is 30% OL, 30% Romo, 40% Garrett.
