Romo Didn't Like The Call

[CooterBrown]

4:30 left in the game. 3rd and 1. Cowboys call time out and discuss the play to run. Cassell, Linehan, Garrett, and Romo in a group discussion. Romo shakes his head and rolls his eyes and walks away. Cassell goes back out to throw a pass Dez dropped. If you recorded the game, look for it. The disgust on Rom's face was obvious.

Thats one of those Romo takes the call and completely changes it at the line

 

[percyhoward]

I haven't watched it, but if Romo didn't like the call, it was probably NOT because he was thinking, "Cassel will make a perfect throw and Dez will drop it."

 

[jazzcat22]

I seen that too. Shows this team is not all on the same page. Depending how you look at it.

And none of the coaches can get mad because at this point in his career Romo has made everyone - look better than they really are.

Not just because he's a terrific QB, but because he's so cerebral and is so good at playing the game within the game and making his receivers, line, backs, and coaches - look better than they really are.

Edit: And Defense. GM. Scouts. Owner. Etc. Etc.

I saw that too....... I "guessed" he was disgusted at whatever Dez was saying. I was thinking Dez was saying "throw me the ball" and Romo just wanted him to shut up.

Dez got his wish.....then dropped the ball..................

thats all guesswork on my part....But Romo wasnt happy about something, thats for sure.

 

[SDCowboy]

I'll say it again, I hope Romo becomes the team's OC when he retires.

If you would have asked me in week two if Tony was the only impetus propelling this team forward, I would have laughed. I'm not laughing anymore; apparently, he is.

He'll definitely coach in some capacity. He's too competitive not to.

For all the bad Jerry did, when he questioned his work-ethic and asked him to put in Peyton Manning hours - suddenly something changed in Romo. He went from athletic guy that can make plays - to assassin that slices up anyone he plays.

 

[Cowboys22]

I didn't like it either. I don't view a 20 yard back should throw as a high percentage play on 3rd and 1 with the game on the line. I'd much prefer a high percentage shorter pass designed to get the 1st down and extend the drive.

 

[rynochop]

I missed it, I'm sure that's not uncommon. Rodgers was pretty fired up about GB not calling a timeout toward the end of there game

That's why when the idiots used to say "Kitna went 5-3" it used to drive me insane.

Well, now we've gone 0-10 without Romo. With about a 10-15 PPG difference. That's hardly a coincidence.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I really thought they'd run for the first down there. I really think they could have gotten it. I know they weren't killing it in the ground game yesterday but I do believe that McFadden could have gotten them 1 yard.

I don't have a problem with the play call really. It worked...Dez just choked.

Welcome to reality. We've been waiting for you.

Unfortunately, Romo will be spending the rest of his days on the golf course.

I agree. Never been a big fan of running such a hit and miss play in those situations.

Don't count on it. He will have made too much money to tie himself to a 18 hour a day 7 days a week 10 months of the year job. He will make just as much or more working one or two days a week for a few hours on TV. He will fulfill his competiveness on the golf course and other celebrity athletic events. If he does coach, it will likely be no higher than the high school level where the time commitment will still allow him to enjoy his millions.

Reality sux.

If it's guess work, isn't that like the announcers trying to start up crap about Dez...why say it...
If anything, Tony would agree with Dez...throw it to him....

The real coach of this team is Tony.
