Mike Fisher on the fan this morning said the media

[Szczepanik]

Harris runs the ball out to midfield and the offense goes 3 and out, defense's fault.

Not going for it on 4th down of aforementioned drive, defense's fault.

Romo overthrowing Dez by a mile high, defense's fault.

Romo throwing it into the ground on 4th and 9, defense's fault.

I guess we can conclude this loss was indeed completely on the defense.

Not going for it on 4th down was due to field position. If the defense would of scored their first single 3 and out we would of had ball again around 50. So yes defense fault.

Unlike our defense, the bears defense was able to get pressure on. I forgive Romo for 2 bad passes , he threw 3 TD with roughly half the TOP as the other team.

I blame the defense for not being able to hang onto 3 interceptions in the second half that could of gave us more chances. How are you supposed to maintain momentum in a game where you only see the ball every 6 minutes? That is simply ridiculous.

Ummm Romo and the offense had it close until the end of the half when the defense completely melted down. As I recall it was 14-14 at one point and then only 17-14 until the defense blew it right at the end of the half.

Fans like you are why people don't take most people who do have legit complaints about Romo serious. Cause you spout off stupid garbage all the time.

Did you not see the drive before the half when the offense completely tanked and put the raggedy defense back on the field? That's why i laugh when i read/hear abut the D not giving the offense a chance, the offense can't do anything with the possessions they do get and they couldn't even kill 1:30 on the clock before the half. Romo is not completely at fault but he's not blameless either and it's okay to say he had a bad game.

Yes. It is. When he has a bad game. I don't feel he had a bad game here.

I didn't like the way that entire drive was done. I realise they're in hurry up but with the way they were gashing the Bears with the run I think a mixed run in there wouldn't have hurt.

It also wasn't on Romo that they had to burn a TO because Dez got the wind knocked out of him. That hurt them. And I don't know how Romo can do anything about Witten dropping a pass right in his hands. That kind of stuff doesn't help him, or the offense do anything.

Prior to that drive they'd played pretty well. They had 14 points, they were in the game, and then after that drive they rarely saw the ball because the stupid defense couldn't even remotely slow the Bears down. So forgive me for not pissing on the QB in a situation where he wasn't even remotely given any oppurtunity to keep the team in the game.

It's a joke.

I think fans like to focus on wins and teams win games. Tom Brady won two AFC Championships and threw 3 INT's in both of them. Brady was awful in those games but he won. Can you explain that? Nobody focused on those INT's. In fact it's hardly known, but he did it. And when you mention Brady Brees and Manning in the same sentence, you're talking about generational players. Compare them to Staubach, AIkman, Montana, Elway, not Stafford, Romo, Flacco or Ryan, etc it apples to oranges. It's a disingenuous argument.

He also made plays to win the game, and who said those ints are hardly known? Brady was criticized for his poor performance but he was also praised for making plays. The truth is Manning gets criticized for his playoff failures and Brees for his away game failures, so if those QBs can get called out what makes Romo above criticism?

It's a joke.

But it was on Romo who overthrew Dez on a crucial 3rd down and the timeout didn't hurt them it was the horrible playcalling and execution that hurt them.

No team never goes 3 and out. The percentage of scoring drives is less than 50%. The best team in the NFL last year for SC% was NE at roughly 48% which is ridiculously good. And was far and away the best in the league last year. We are in the high 30s which is a pretty good offense. I understand everyone's frustration because I have it, too. I just try to be fair about my criticism.

I don't remember for certain but I don't believe the Bears had to punt last night.

What makes it all romo's fault which is what you HATERS keep claiming?

They did not punt. Matter of fact if I recall right they only had about 4 third and long downs all night and converted them all.

 

[LatinMind]

Is this a joke? When your offense rarely sees the field and you force the run all night, your QB who still manages to score 3 TDs ISN'T to blame. This loss is completely on the defense.

Why did the O not see the field much? From 8:51 in the 2nd quarter to 14:00 of the 4th dallas had 4 possessions they had 14 plays and gained 34 yrds on offense. Got 2 first downs. Maybe the offense shouldve done something to stay on the field?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yep. You right. That bad over throw is what gave up 45 points and 33 first downs. Damn him for that mistake. Definately Romo's fault.

I'll bow out of this back and forth with you and let you have your win. I'm not interested in debating how 1 bad over throw doesn't cost the team the game and doesn't equal 45 points and 33 first downs.

 

[jobberone]

I think they missed one or two third downs and converted them for a TD and a first down.

 

[Sarge]

Seriously, Dallas should be penalized just for getting Dez the ball twice for 12 yards. What a freakin' joke...

You have a top 3 WR on your team and you get him the ball twice??

There is room for blame ALL OVER THE PLACE, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. ON COACHING AND ON THE OWNER.

This team has a multitude of problems - make no mistake about it.

 

[erod]

Can't believe this thread.

Zero turnovers. 140 yards rushing from Murray. Three touchdown passes from Romo. 28 points.

Should that not have you in the game late in the fourth quarter?

This game was over early third quarter because of one thing.....the defense.

 

[Hoov]

It's the D's fault because you can't expect our offense to score every single possession or get into any kind of rhythm when they rarely get to see the field. The offense isn't always going to score unless they play against our own D.

They saw the field just as many times as the opponent did. They just didn't score every possession like the other team did. But they had equal opportunities to do so

 

[Beast_from_East]

Have to stop with this it's everyone fault but Romo. said Romo was bad too last night.(which is true) im sick and tired of him taking a dive when a D-Linemen gets anywhere near him.i was shock to hear Fisher say this.he is one of the main Romo supporters.the main problem with this team is Jerry Jones. but make no mistake about this.this pitiful defense and Romo and this offense are part of the problem. what a mess.

When the defense can force a dam punt..........just 1..............then we will have this talk about Romo.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Romo wasn't good last night, he will admit that and do so in the post game press conference.
