Romo stunk yesterday

[Carolinacowpoke]

I love Romo to death but we are blinded "homers" if anyone thinks that Romo hasn't played horrible the last two weeks. Honestly he kinda sucked in the Commanders game too. Just being honest guys

only those that have failed football 101 would blame Romo. Unfortunately there are a lot here on the board who know as much about football as the dark side of the moon.

OK how many turnovers vs TDs has he had these last two weeks? You claim he is horrible. You have no evidence.

Trolling?

The goalposts always move with the anti Romo crowd. Before it was don't try to do too much stop the dumb turnovers manage the game throw the ball away trust your running game and defense.

Now he still stinks - in a season where he does all if that every week and is top 10 in tds and yards with zero running game and a literally all time lousy defense

Watch the tape of the game! Romo was throwing floaters off his back foot constantly. I totally agree with the poster. This should NOT have been a close game, but Romo played poorly. Less than 50% completions, rarely looking Dez's way is a sin, and I don't care if he perceives him as being covered. Romo is a player that feels the pressure and plays that way always. Romo needs to be a player that applies the pressure and dictates the play, aka Drew Brees. People are cutting him slack because of 2 passes that the receivers had 85 YAC. You can blame the defense or game management or whatever, but don't try to tell me Romo didn't stink in this game.

Really?!! I'm surprised anyone thought he was playing well. he had two good throws as far as I could see.

 

[ufcrules1]

he had guys in his face all game long, it was rare when he could step up in the pocket. Plus we can not run the ball at all. When CJ has over 300 yards blaming Romo makes no sense at all

How many times was he sacked?

you do know outside of your fellow Romo haters no one bothers with any of your anti romo posts, right?

and once again how many TDs and how many turnovers?

Some fans can't even be honest with themselves. Romo hasn't played well since the Denver game. He didn't even show up until the 4th quarter in this one. How can we put the game away when the QB doesn't show up until the very end of the game? I saw some stat during the game that said that a team that was -4 on turnover ratio has only won 1 game in 254, and the Lions were -4 yesterday and still beat us. Why? You can't just pin this on our defense.. the offense played a big role too.

Romo, IMO, isn't a top five QB in the NFL, and I have doubts he's in the top 10.

Gunther Cunningham showed more fear of Randle, a fifth round RB without much speed or power, than he did of Romo. For almost the entire game Cunningham brought the safety into the box, and dared Romo to try passes down the field.

For three quarters, Romo didn't even try. In the first quarter, with second and short, and eight men in the box, Romo ran the ball into the teeth of the defense, twice losing three yards on a run, instead of taking shots down the field with one-on-one coverage on the outside. If Dez Bryant is considered a premium receiver, why not throw it up to him, and give him a chance to make plays? Can anybody even imagine Stafford not doing that with Calvin Johnson? They showed repeated instances where Stafford has successfully thrown to Johnson with DOUBLE coverage.

Billick, calling the game, repeatedly referred to Romo needing try passes down the field. This was on national TV, and Billick was being very tactful. In private conversations around the league, there are going to be much more disparaging conversations. For a ten year veteran QB repeatedly not to audible into plays that give his team a chance is simply unthinkable. Forget Manning and Brady, there are 15-20 QBs who wouldn't have tolerated the disrespect Cunningham gave Romo.

Had I been coaching, Romo wouldn't have started the 3rd Quarter. And I have no idea why Garret or Wilson weren't in his face. The fact they weren't doesn't reflect well on them. They were meek. The fact Dez Bryant did get in people's face, gives me respect for him. He was right to do so, and would have been justified in doing so in the first quarter. I know I was absolutely screaming at the TV in the first quarter Romo for not going downfield. The screaming slowed down, and turned into disbelief at what I was seeing--for three quarters.

The only question I have is why didn't Romo go downfield. Was it because of the hits Fairly put on him, and he lacked the courage? Was it because he was too stupid to get into better plays? Did he think Bryant and Williams were completely overmatched by the Detroit CBs? I really don't know...

Romo absolutely dropped his pants yesterday, and there are going to be a lot of coaches and players around the league who won't forget that display...

Flame away. I'm a little fired up over this, so it's possible I'll flame back.

Seriously, Just go away.

you trying to talk about honest as regards Romo? You are joking right? That is hilarious.

You may have missed the 3 straight 3rd down passes in the 3rd quarter that were put in the WR hands but were dropped ending those drives.

Only Romo is blamed for not making plays. He is playing almost perfect turnover free ball while still far above league average in tds and yards.

Romo cannot single handedly overcome an all time worst defense and a horrible lack if running game and a poor GM and HC. But he makes a perfect fall guy to shift the blame for all those things.

you can always tell the haters- no WR ever drops a pass; No one ever misses a block; etc. Only Romo is to blame

Romo was not sharp and didn't take advantage of the lions horrible secondary, but I don't blame him for the loss. Plenty of blame to go around. Coaching comes to mind.

 

[MRV52]

I am a Romo backer but yesterday something was wrong with him. He was off. He didn't cost us the game but if he was on, we wouldn't have lost that game.

you did notice the pressure, dropped passes, etc?

You can't pin this loss on any one person or coach. The offense, defense, and coaching staff ALL and I mean ALL played a role in the loss. Romo doesn't get a pass here either.. he played his role in the loss too.
