Romo had a bad game too...

[ufcrules1]

1. Starts off the game throwing an interception deep in our own territory that lead to 7 points by the Bucs. OUCH!!

2. 3rd quarter instead of taking the sack he tried to do some kind of crazy underarm throw leading to a fumble at the Bucs 20 yard line. We were guaranteed 3 points there at minimum! You have to be focused on getting the points at any cost, Romo wasn't even thinking about the guaranteed points. Another duh moment for him.

I'm not going to count the other sack fumble because that was the offensive lines fault but let's not kid ourselves, Romo is in fact playing a role in our teams woes.

Football is a game of inches, if we played a better team the mistakes mention above could have easily cost us the win.

Miles didn't come back to the ball on that INT and Talib just made a great play.

The first int was bad, but I think Dez had to carry his guy deeper, and Austin didn't step up to grab the ball, just stood there.

 

[tupperware]

This is true. This was an ugly game. I'm surprised we won it given all the various mistakes but this won't cut it on a week in and week out basis.

Process? Uh, how about starting with limiting the penalties. We were at home, no excuse.

 

[Falcon554]

Dear god the man almost died out there, anyone would of had a bad game

 

[joseephuss]

That interception was not Romo's fault. Austin was open and it was a good pass. Should have been a first down. Talib made a good play. What really mattered is Dez did not fire off the line and take Talib out of the play. You get Talib turned to the outside and he can't come off his man and intercept the pass.

A big part of this is Romo trying to make things happen.

When he's surrounded by 300 lb. DL-men, there's only so much he can do. In reality, he should just tuck it in and take the sack.

The OL is going to get him killed. Expect more games like this. Romo will be under duress and make what seems like a boneheaded play ... it's simply Romo trying to salvage the play.

It's not Romo ... it's the OL.

Romo didn't have a great game, but to say he had a bad game is ridiculous. He was running for his life all day and still managed to compete 25 of his 39 passes, threw for 283 passing yards, and the one interception threw wasn't entirely his fault. Miles could've easily had that ball, but he couldn't come up with it.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I'm not saying your wrong, but it's hard to critisize a QB who was hit as many times as Romo today.

The ball was already out. That's why it was ruled (after the replay) a fumble and not an incomplete pass. A "crazy underarm throw" would have been fine as long as it wasn't intercepted.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

All I know is that he found a way to win. Other QBs are lauded for gutting out wins, same should appy to Tony.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

The INT was a great play by the CB. It wasnt like his previous INTs where hes throwing across his body and off balanced. The underarm thingy was the one that was just moronic on his part. He needs to understand the situation. Any points is better than no points .Protect the damn ball.

 

[ConstantReboot]

A question I had to ask is why did we try and keep running the ball on 1st down when we already knew nothing was going to happen?

We did 2 play action pass and they both went for big yards. Why don't we use that more often then just keep feeding it to Murray?

He's part of the team...but, he made some dumb mistakes.

 

[CxC1993]

He was getting hit hard all day, the o-line wasn't doing him any favors. The INT wasn't entirely on him either. I'm just glad the Cowboys won and Romo survived after the beating he took.

 

[SDCowboy]

Romo didn't have his best game but needs to be applauded for what he was able to do behind this oline. To say he had a horrible game is foolish. He was obliterated all game, and Witten couldn't catch a cold.

Romo 100% should have held on to the ball there. It was clear he was going to get sacked, instead he tried to make something happen and that is what caused the fumble. POINTS... we were GUARANTEED POINTS. You have to PROTECT the ball there at all costs. No excuses!!!

I am interested to hear from the guys that see the "22" tape before I knock Romo on the interception. If I had to guess right now though I would say that the reveivers didn't get enough seperation and Romo telegraphed the throw. The shovel pass/fumble was the play that got me. Talk about screw the pooch in a game where points are at a premium.

There isn't a QB in this league that could play better than Romo has behind this oline, the constant penalties and receivers having a hard time holding onto balls.

If Bryant fires off the line and forces Talib out of his back pedal, then Talib can't keep his eyes on Romo to see where the ball is going. Talib would have to keep his focus on Bryant. One of the first things Romo did after that interception was go up to Bryant and tell him something.
