Romo done?

[LittleBoyBlue]

I have been critical of Romo, particularly in the Romo vs. Eli debates.

But Tony Romo isn't the problem. Three of the five interceptions weren't his fault.

The other two were desperation throws, trying to make something happen.

He's trying to get guys in position, hitting them dead in the hands and they're dropping the ball.

I think Romo is being engulfed by the culture that is the Dallas Cowboys.

I believe if you put Tony Romo on a different team, you'd get different results.

But on the Cowboys, he will forever be seen as a quarterback who can't get it done.

This is one of the most accurate posts EVER!
It could be called an unbiased post DUE TO ITS ACCURACY.

Dez Bryant didn't do him any favors last night. Two of those picks were on him. And then there was that stupid idiotic illegal shift call. Drive killer....

C'mon man!

Romeo directly gave them 14 points. He also missed two wide open players for touchdowns. thats 28 points. The guy is a loser.

You are telling me that all QB completion % is 100?!

Yes, last two picks were desperation and his fault. How do you fault him for the first two? The fumble/sack....what. you never been hit by 325 lb lineman. what? you never see other QB fumble?

Romo is far from perfect but when you have to read the D, dodge multiple 300 lb DL because you have less than 2 sec, adjust to your STUPID WR who can't read D or stone hand WR and throw the ball accurately on the dead run.......yeah...that's pretty hard to do.

No, Dez didn't do him any favors but part of the blame last night goes on Romo. Two of the picks were definitely his fault and he missed Austin and Dez who were wide open.

I think Romo is a damn good quarterback, but he hasn't played like one for much of this season. He was phenomenal against New York, but pretty pedestrian the next two weeks. Yeah, a few of yesterday's picks obviously weren't his fault, but Romo had his share of miscues (overthrows, turnovers) that he's usually better than. Certainly he was playing at a far, far better level a year ago. Eight turnovers in the last two weeks? He's better than that.

I've always felt that Romo would lead us to title contention, but that belief is fading. Whether it's because of him, Garrett, or the overall culture instilled by Jerry, it's becoming increasingly clear this group as it's currently constructed will never be among the elite.

We're just way too mistake prone. On some level that seems correctable, but we've been saying that for years. If it's not 13 penalties one week, it's five turnovers the next.

We're realistically staring down the possibility of missing the playoffs for the third straight year and for the fourth time in five years. That tells me significant changes need to be made to this organization, likely to the point of taking several steps backward before hopefully taking many steps forward.

excelent post as always and I couldn't agree more, especially the bolded part. We're stuck with undiciplined play because our markee stars, Bryant, Ware, Romo, Witten, etc are usually the ones that make the mistakes or mental errors that cost us games. We know and they know they're not going anywhere and so does the rest of the team. It has become our culture, our modus operandi. We've gone from Flozzell Adams jumping offsides to Terrell Owens dropping a key pass to Demarcus Ware lining up in the neutral zone to Roy Williams fumbling to last night's game. Same mistakes different era, different players and zero accountability.

Romo will never take this team any where

Dallas oughta be looking to draft Tyler Bray

 

[jday]

I like Romo. He's a good QB. But the dude just has bad luck. Time for a change. This franchise needs a QB who is untouchable by the media.

You may as well say this team needs Santa for their QB.

 

[CowboyWay]

Look Tony played like crap, but it does not matter who is back there, when you cant run the ball or pass block. This off season was a total and complete failure. JJ did nothing to improve this line matter fact it has gotten worse.

Bingo. To listen to the Romo haters is mind boggling. Brady, Brees, Montana, Aikman...NONE OF THEM COULD DO SQUAT WITH THIS O-LINE. Get it through your heads people.

Jerry likes shiny things. CB's, RB's, WR's.....Thats who he moves up in the draft for. You simply can't spend 80 million on a QB and put guys that should work at Home Depot in front of him and expect magic. It just doesn't work that way. There is nothing shiny about offensive lines.

Get it through your heads.....Romo covers up so many problems on this Oline its incredible. With him we are a 7-8-9 win team. Without him we are a 2-3-4 win team.

The only thing more disgusting than watching Romo get pressured on just about every pass play was watching the protection that Jay Cutler was getting behind what has been called a bad OLine.

Between Dallas' crap Oline and crap Dline...this team will no nowhere fast.

 

[ternewt24]

Did anybody feel this way after we went to NJ on opening night against the vagiants and Romo shredded them? He hasn't lost his ability over the course of a few weeks. He has been battered, his OL has come up small, his receivers have dropped numerous passes (or have been on a different page), and there has been no running game to take the pressure off of him. He looked great at many points during the game last night, unfortunately, this teams has always shown that it's just a matter of time before it makes a mistake and kills a drive (penalties, drops, throwing while getting hit, etc.). Romo has never been the problem, the OL and overall sloppiness have been the biggest culprits on the offensive side of the ball. It would also be nice to have a D that causes turnovers.

Its amazing how quick people turn on a team or a person. All this talk about one guy or multiple guys being a problem, till Garrett is fired and Jerry Jones will step out as trying to be a coach, Im sorry everyone, nothing is going to change. Its the same every year. The years that we were good under Jerry jones managment was the years we had a coach that took no crap and didnt listen to Jerry, and guess what, they didnt coach in Dallas long. So im sorry but quit blaming our players, we have as much if not more talent than most teams but we are stuck with a terrible coach and a bad want to be coach that needs to worry about the finances not the team

 

[TellerMorrow34]

The one thing I do believe is done is Romo's faith in this team. I think that's likely done. You can tell by watching him that he has zero faith in the line or some of his receivers to actually do their jobs.

No, Dez didn't do him any favors but part of the blame last night goes on Romo. Two of the picks were definitely his fault and he missed Austin and Dez who were wide open.

Actually, 3 of the picks were on Romo. When you are the redzone and guaranteed points, you don't try to shuffle the ball or make something happen that is simply not there. You protect the football.. especially when there is major pressure. Instead of getting any points the other team was GIFTED 7 points. That hurt us real bad and it is the second week in a row that has has had a similar play.

Rodgers got sacked 9 times in the Seattle game. The defense owned his offensive line and yet Rodgers didn't turn the ball over not one time. He just patiently waited for his opportunities to throw.

Rodgers has a pathetic running game, pathetic defense, and pathetic offensive line but the guy is smart as hell and extremely accurate.

Romo had an extremely bad game last night.

 

[RealCowboyfan]

Get a new coach that knows how to utilize the running game and you have a winning team. Jason Garrett doesn't know how to manage a game well with the type of offense he has. He can't score points because he don't really get the running game going consistently throughout the game.

If he does use it, it would be early and after Cowboys score he gets back into a passing frenzy knowing Romo is mistake prone being that the communication sad to say with his receivers is kind of messed up along with a mediocre offensive line.That's exactly why the ball should be ran or a change of quarterback.

 

[spolcyc]

Tony is the least of this teams problems. This team isn't just solid o-line play/pass rush/running game (only one element away from being solid), there is something fundamentally wrong with this team. I can't put an exact reason on it, but I would say a big part of the problem is our HC. He just isn't head coach material. Who's supposed to rally the troops and get them fired up when you show absolutely no emotion? I think this is why we've fallen flat on our faces 3/4 games. He shows no emotion and this rubs off on the team.

Ok we get it, you love sarcasm.

Sarcasm? huh?

Who is Sarcasm?

 

[kirkjrk]

Is the "Tony Romo magic" over?

Would you re-consider signing him to a long term deal if a bluechip QB is available to us in the draft? Discuss.

Absolutely
