We brought killer pressure for most of the game but then pulled back into trying not to lose instead of to win and the pressure was called off there towards the end.
Is he solely responsible...no, but it is clear that he does have some of the blame.

Actually, he did bring the pressure. On the last drive that Hamlin gave up, Wade brought the blitz up the middle. That blitz was ineffective, because there was one piece of the puzzle missing and that was...
Ratliff was out that last drive... Maybe he was too hurt to play... In fact, I think he was out a couple of series prior...
BTW, Newman made some errors against Holmes..

order of blame in my eyes
1. Romo i don't even need to explain this one
2, Garrett there's no point in trying to milk the clock when your team can't run block 90% of the time but then again,.. see 1
3. Wade for calling of the dogs on D and going to prevent

Bingo. Dominate the Steelers for 3 plus quarters and then stop doing what got us our 10 point lead. Way, way too conservative. It's called coaching scared. Wade's scared of being second guessed so he plays it safe and goes into prevent mode. It prevented us from winning. Period.

Ironically, I would say Wade saved his job today, especially if the defense can do what it's been doing for the last three games.
Garrett and Reed deserve the load of blame here, imo, with Wade taking some heat for the undiscipline of the team with it's penalty problems.

I sound like a broken record. But whatever he called left the middle of the field wide open multiple times. How much of that is mental errors, or just coverages with holes there I do not know.
I do know it was extremely frustrating seeing the Steelers march down the field and watch us fold like a lawn chair.

Exactly. We had Ben nervous the whole game. Then we just let up and dared him to beat us. Well we all know how that went............

This loss kind of remind me of that game. Or at Seattle in 05. However, Philly jumped out to a 10-0 early and we had to fight back and I think only led by 3.
We dominated this game, and folded like a lawn chair down the stretch.
And as far as the blame on Romo, Owens and Witten broke off their routes and ran incorrect routes, according to reports. Could be false, but I dont know

I refuse to go with Romo for a couple of reasons:
1. On the TD pass to Terrell Owens, again, the play-calling sucked. Tony Romo kept that play alive with his feet and TO had to run in circles to get open. They made something out of nothing.
2. That play where Romo threw it left-handed to Roy Williams.. Again, it was the same type of play, where the call gets nothing and TR tries to keep the play going with his feet, which he does.
3. jason Garrett, and I keep saying it again and again, very rarely runs play-action. Because of this, he never gets the safety to bite and the defense very rarely needs to second guess what is going on. They can easily help out over the top.
4. The one play where Choice ran for fifty yards was a flare route. Agian, JG didn't call that at all again, yet the Steelers started bringing the pressure.
5. This play calling relies solely on TR to make plays. They don't systematically approach an opposing defense. That is why TR is always trying to make plays. This is a ghetto offense.
