Romo has a 94.6 QB rating. Good right?

[Ren]

Take away his interception and what is his QB rating?

Add the one the refs bailed him out from yesterday and what's his rating?

 

[Ring Leader]

His ESPN QBR has sucked both games though... especially last week.

I'm not sure which is more laughable, ESPN or that QBR abomination that virtually nobody cares about.

When Romo is taking chances and throws interceptions...people complain.

When Romo plays within himself..people complain.

I'm disappointed in this loss. Very much so.

I'll wait a few weeks before I quit on the season and Romo. But i'm weird that way.

 

[blackbull]

Galian beast is just a big ole facepalm. Lol my goodness.

 

[windward]

Sample size.

Last year after two weeks, Bradford was 3rd, Ponder was 6th, Rodgers was 17th, and Manning was 18th.

And bingo was his name-o

I'm a big Romo supporter, but he spit the bit in those 4th quarter drives, for whatever reasons. That pick for Berry that got turned over was a foul, though it didn't look like the foul that got called. And at least two other passes weren't far enough ahead of the safeties and they got their hands on them in must-win situations. We were lucky it wasn't a lot worse. I'm more inclined to say his rating today was more generous than his level of play indicated than the reverse.
That said, everybody's also forgetting that he actually played really well in the 3rd quarter for some reason. And Dez did just flat drop what would have been a sure-fire 30 yard play and what could possibly have been a long touchdown.

How many almosts picks are there in the NFL? They called a hold, many times calls don't go the way they should. If Claiborne isn't called for a phantom pass interference, maybe we win the game.

The fact is that the interception on Romo was Williams' fault, and it has skewed his QB rating significantly. He has played a pretty conservative and ball control style of offense. That's what a lot of people wanted.

Myself? I could live with the interceptions, as long as we were throwing the ball down the field.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

This just in. It's only the 2nd game of the season.

The most reasonable explanation is that the pain killers wore off and that scramble he did aggravated things.

Yup. And it isn't just this game it's long been the case. We need to devise plays to beat the blitz.

I don't see anyone here quitting on Romo or the season.. but I'm weird that way.

For some reason, our hot reads on blitzes are 2 yard curl routes? When the other team blitzes, the middle of the field is wide open and the receiver should continue to run through the field and not stop as it isn't zone coverage. How come we can't have a hot read that is a slant? I don't get it?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Romo has been solid. He's not been great but he definately hasn't been a problem.

My only problem is that it seems that he's playing super conservative, something that tons of people were always screaming for and now a lot of those same people are *****ing about it, and I don't really feel that is his best game.

We had plenty of blame to go around like the Dunbar fumble, and the Dez drop on a beautifully thrown ball by Romo, and the Refs screwing up calls all day.. both for us and against us. Romo did look especially bad out there to me for most of the game. I was irritated he didn't audible to Romo when he had the one on one with Flowers. Dez owned Flowers all day and we all know that no corner can cover him one on one. I also didn't like the play where he saw defenders in hot pursuit of him and he ran to his right and then stops and sets his feet which gave the defenders time to nail him and cause the crucial fumble/turnover. And yeah, as you mentioned the pick by Berry... there was no foul on that play, however, there was a bad throw and interception. And then he turned around and threw another bad interception but there was a flag on that play too which bailed us out. I also noticed a lot of his passes didn't have zip on them. I HOPE that it was due to the bruised ribs.

There were also many times the Oline provided him a ton of time to throw and for some reason he couldn't find anyone open. I just find it hard to believe that Dez, Miles, Witten, and others weren't getting open. I noticed the same thing against the Giants and Romo said they were playing with a scheme he hadn't seen before.

Qb rating is a useless stat.....

 

[DFWJC]

The QBR really is a crock.
I like that someone tries improve on the regular passer rating though. I mean, you have to give QBs some credit for rushing if that's a part of their game.

I thought Romo played a smart game the first three quarters. The two series in the 2nd when we were pinned back, the offense didn't look good, but it was a tough position, and he didn't make any dumb mistakes. He took care of the ball. He looked really good in the third quarter, with the big drive early, and then the long string of completions. It was the 4th quarter where he looked awful. I tend to think he hurt his back or his ribs somewhere along the way, but only because the contrast from his earlier play was so obvious.
I do think Berry interfered with Witten on that play, but it was pretty ticky-tacky. Either way, though, the throws on that series were all pretty bad, and Tony dodged several bullets.

This...
Very simialr to the Detroit game two years ago (and maybe even Washington 2nd half after the cracked ribs) in the the zip was gone and the senses were a bit more clouded due to the pain.
Don't want to make too many excuses though....if he's hurt, he has to better understand his limitiations.

I didn't think Berry deserved a flag on that play and same with Mo on the PI call at the end of the game. Both were ticky tack calls but it is our job not to leave it up to the refs. I feel like we are experiencing the Romocoaster right now. Sometimes he looks great and other times he looks like an over the hill QB. Did you see the one time he ran with the ball? He looked like an old man. Meanwhile Alex Smith was KILLING us with his feet when his coverage broke down. I would honestly take Smith over Romo right now and I never thought I would say that.
