At some point you have to question the play calling. We just saw Romo throw the same pick against Green Bay. Every time Austin fades up the field giving up position and expects the ball to be put high over the top which as a hot read with a blitz is a just not an easy throw with the angles and the pace needed on the ball. The risk is too high to call that play in these situations or to have that route option to break upfield, if it is an option. Sure, if you execute it perfectly you can hit a big play, but you're chances of doing that are very low from what we have seen and the typical result when it is not executed well is an interception which ends the game. It seems like every game the defense dictates the matchup that they want, knowing the system and hot reads and we try to challenge the other teams best players one on one. That's not a reliable winning strategy, that's 50-50 football, I don't care who the QB is. The reason Romo works better in some of those cases is because he sees the matchup is terrible and instead of forcing it, he extends the play into something else. Of course that is only sometimes, other times due to pressure he goes where the offense tells him to go with the football and it's low percentage, high risk due to other teams knowing where the ball is going and being prepared for it at that point in the game.
