It's Not All Romo Fault

[Ren]

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

When people cry about him not calling a run on 2 and 1 there's a good chance he actually did call a run and the one who never makes mistakes changed it to a pass. So again, how can you know what the other call was?
Or are you just assuming because lord Romo is incapable of mistakes that what ever he changes it into is never wrong and always the best option?

This offense always starts making mistakes when he starts who whole audible routine,.. maybe (i know it's hard to imagine) Romo is the one screwing up. Garrett won this job for the performances of Kitnas offense and a large part of that was how sharp they looked. While Romo is about to run his 3rd coach out of town...

Great, more Romo excuses. We all know you only go as far as your QB take you. How is 13 ints in 7 games? Romo is a problem that needs to be solved.

My point was simply you never see a 30 yard strike down the field, on the money, and zipped in there

Did you not see the 30 yard strike to Dez with 10 seconds left on the clock? It was a beautiful throw with plenty of zip.

I mentioned already the one pass to Dez out far left where he beat his man and if Romo had hit him in stride it probably would have been a TD.

How far was that pass? Not that I'm defending Romo but it may have been 40+ yards and he didn't want to overthrow Dez either.

We are pretty much on the same page Roy.. I don't think we have always been though. I don't think he has an arm strength problem this year but I could be wrong about that. I do see him make boneheaded stupid mistakes over and over though.

I think you're spending too much energy worrying about that call. According to most, and we're all Cowboys fans here, it was a good non call. Let it go, man.

I have no problem if they would have never thrown the flag. But the NFL gets ticky tacky calls every week that leaves people scratching their heads. We've had them against us more often than not; how many refs pick up the flag(s)?

I am not worrying about the call. I would have little issue with the no call if a guy had not thrown a flag. I have a problem with other refs coming in from poorer angles to talk him out of it. That is my issue!

Too many bias come into play. Kind of like a last minute shot in basketball where refs tend to swallow their whistle. It is either a foul or not! If that ref saw an arm bar, then he did, and Ogletree can't get his other hand up.

This. I can't fathom why they would pick up that flag and the DB hooked Ogletree and he couldn't get two hands on the ball. The offensive player usually gets that call over a defensive player.

Excellent point. I'm pretty sure I heard the great one calling "Kill Kill". I love your posts Ren.. you are always right on the money.

I don't think Romo has a problem getting the ball there. Yes he did not throw a perfect strike to Dez but with Dez that wide open I think Romo wanted to make sure the ball got there not try to throw some perfect strike and end up over throwing him. Later in the game he threw a perfect strike to a streaking Austin down the side line and had more than enough on the pass to Dez in the endzone. On the wideopen play to Dez it was more important hitting the play than trying to be perfect.

Wow.. for maybe the first time ever I have agreed with a post by Dommsday101.

 

[Dodger12]

I think you know that im no Romo homer.. but i wouldn't be suprised if there was some kind of injury that we haven't heard about. He just seems to have no zip on any of his passes this year and no arm strength when throwing downfield.

This is surprising considering the reports out of camp was that Romo was zipping the ball to his receivers and had shown arm strength. Romo never had a cannon so those reports stuck out in my mind.

Wow what an honor. :laugh2: I always look for your expert approval. :laugh2:

One of the problems in the macho NFL is we never know who is hurt or how much unless it is something we see happen, or it causes a player to be benched. Players don't want to be wusses and blame their performance on injuries, so we see a Witten go out there and play so badly most fans think he is washed up, then his injury heals and he comes back out looking like the Hall of Fame player he has always been.

I don't know if Romo is hurt or not, but I do think the broken finger permanently altered the way he throws, and not in a good way. But, I still think he is good enough to take us to the promised land if RHG will put a game plan together that doesn't require Dez and Ogletree to alter routes based on reading the defense.

He is just trying to rationalize why Romo is playing so bad. He isn't a fan of Romo but he just can't imagine him being this bad without something being wrong.

I thought you would have me on ignore by now. As time passes you will realize just how right I was about glass house Costa, Felix, and especially Romo.

As a moderator I don't put anyone on ignor but even before that I never felt the need to put anyone on ignor. The only one impressed by your views is you. You really think I look at you as some guru of football? :laugh2:

Romo has a bad game and you go off? wow that is a surprise. Romo is a damn fine QB has he had a rough season yes some of it is on him some of it is not. So go impress yourself because nothing you say really impresses me. I understand this game very well been following it longer than many here have been alive.

 

[RealCowboyfan]

Romo's inconsistent play is just a microcosm of what is wrong with the Cowboys. What stands out to me is the lack of a running game, the mental errors and no pass rush.

The silver lining in all this is that the secondary was solid. Maybe the Cowboys can focus on d-line and safety this April as well as o-line.

REAL TALK. THERE IS NO RUNNING GAME. as far as pass-rush they just need to fully switch to 4-3.

Well 3 players you have strongly supported are not looking very good. Felix tackles himself and fumbles without the other team even touching the ball and is so over the hill it isn't even funny. Costa can't even get on the field, and Romo is a total joke this year. I mean what can you say? 13 Int's in 7 games and multiple fumbles. Dude is on pace for 30 int's.

There are 53 players on this team I support them all. I have no pet cats. I'm not anti any player. You can sit there and point your finger all you want that is your choice I support and pull for these guys and many of them I know what they are capable of including Romo who you constantly rag on. Yes he has too many ints some that are on him and some that are not. However over the course of his career he has few ints that Eli and has put up consistently very good numbers. You know when a QB throws a TD many others had to do their job for that to happen and in many instance many share in the blame of ints when they fail to do their jobs this is not just with Romo but every QB out there

Coming down on Costa who showed big improvement in his play because he got hurt? Give me a break and really when it comes to Costa I have said many times I don't look at him as some Pro Bowl center but a guy who is capable of development and he has shown that despite every single want to be here claiming he can't.

Face it you act as if you know it all and you don't know Jack just a big whiner that is all you bring to the board and it is expected daily that is what you are going to post.

Face it I don't know jack? Again, I'm not the one who talked up Costa, Felix, and Romo. You are right, you do support every single player and never criticize them even when they deserve it. But you are quick to tell people they don't know jack when they criticize players who deserve criticism. Sorry if me criticizing players who deserve it makes me the "bad guy". But you are way off base saying I don't know jack.

When players make mistakes I have no issue to calling the mistake out. However I don't agree with the knee jerk reactions by the same people.

One thing I have always seen no matter what team you are talking about when things go wrong the Coach and QB take the blame. I also learned over the years organizations who listen to fans do not improve.
