Jimmy Johnson took away Romo's dump off to the RB's.....

[noletime95]

Romo has been killing teams with the dump off, proving it wasn't a good idea to choose a slow death. Teams have been playing Dallas scared for the most part. Romo simply didn't make the Eagles pay for this philosophy. dropping Cole into coverage as an example was a nice move. Romo's first pass of the game is a perfect example when he missed TO for six.

Outside of the ball to Crayton, there wasn't a single excellent pass the entire game.......Hate to beat a dead horse, as everyone knows TR just had a bad day, but I think he's gotten used to that security blanket of always being able to dump it to Barber or JJ if nothing else is there.

All QB's like a release.

What I saw more of was pressure that was constantly making Romo uncomfortable and the coverage all in all was ok. Romo also missed a lot of throws he normally makes.

I missed it, did Jimmy Johnson let the cat out of the bag about the dump off passes or something?

Man... can we just keep Jessica out of this?

I'm not saying it was a blueprint, just suggesting its very easy to get your rythem and move the chains by dumping the ball the RB's. Romo simply never got comfortable today.

Totally agree with you on that Nors.

Defenses have tried to take things away from Romo all season. USUALLY he winds up lighting them up with deep throws if they are taking the short stuff away... or dumping it off if they are worrying about the deep stuff. Today, he had TO open on several deep plays and simply missed the throws. He was innaccurate all game except the few good throws he made to Witten.

Philly actually has a very good defense IMO.. better than they get credit for. Look how they did against the Pats for example.

Yep, Aikman would wear Emmitt and Moose out on the dump offs...and Novacek didn't hurt over the middle either.

PURE evil, I tell you. She just stole all of Tony's... um... energy.

He meant the Philly Defensive Coordinator, not the former Cowboys coach.

I hope there's no jealousy on TO's part about the great rapport between Romo and Witten - roommates on the road, a great tandem on the field. I hope TO really is into the TEAM concept because if not, it could be a problem at some point. Romo said something to TO on the sideline and TO seemed to glare at him a bit. Of course, winning is the best deodorant. I hope we get back on track against Carolina.

Isn't his name spelled Jimmie Johnson? It threw me off, duh.:

 

[Mavs Man]

I think he goes by Jim Johnson. Jimmy is reserved for the former Cowboys coach, only.

Or the race car driver.

What happened to our offfense is simple. We didn't run the ball. Makes stopping an offense much easier.

That...and the Eagles focused on taking Owens out of the game. I think that after he had that hot stretch, teams realized, better shot at letting Witten have some room underneath, than letting Owens run free deep.

AND I think what the Cowboys did today was force the ball to Owens...which they haven't done all year. And that really backfired.

I hope Glenn came come back. That might loosen things up a bit.
