Wow 689 replies. I am usually a Romo apologist, but today, I can't do it. Those 3 picks just killed us. PERIOD. Now I will give him a slight break on the slant to Robinson, Robinson has to cross that defenders face or it will get picked.
But the other two picks were just brutally bad!! That loft over Carpenter, WOW, Barbie does nothing the 4 years he is here and viola, he looks all pro on that interception. I think he baited Romo into trying the lob pass. Romo has to get rid of that lob.
After all that, we are clinging to a 3 point lead and we have the ball, Romo has to be aware of the situation. Four minutes left and we have the ball, we get a couple of first downs and maybe seal the win. YOU CANNOT lob the ball over the middle of the field. I know he was under duress, but take a sack or lead Witten enough to wear he gets it or no ones else does!! Instead we give the Lions the ball on our side of the field and let them march right in.
AGONY!! Romo was brilliant for 32 minutes of the game. The last 28 was horrible. Now mind you because of the lack of the running game, we will not be able to sit on leads and pound it out. So I am not going to fault the play calling. Romo just has to make better decisions than that.
He cost us that game. Period.
