Sarcasm: Tony Romo is Done!

[1fisher]

I wouldn't call about 20 passes in 2.5 quarters taking the ball away from Romo. Sheesh. From his interception up until we got close to taking the lead, the play calling was more than 60% pass plays. Romo audibled through a 27-3 run. Whatever he was doing in that span worked like a charm.

Excellent point!

3rd and 14. Romo drops back to pass. Nobody open. Romo tucks the ball in and cool, calm, and collectively ran for 16 yards. 1st and 10, Dallas.

Easily the play of the game. Welcome back Romo.

That was huge.

I did say after. 2010 he got hurt if my memory serves me correct and we still won 5 games with a bus driver. What's your point?

My point?

You make Morris Claiborne look like a rocket scientist.

Can take hits in the pocket

Cant throw while getting hit

Cant roll out of the pocket

Passes have no zip

Cant run for first downs

Cant read the field and find the open man for a TD


He needs to retire

He's DONE!



*note* the above is for all the tony doubters....enjoy your crow!

Can't throw a pick six. U forgot that one.

Oh so you don't have one, that's what I thought sweety...

Romo 18 of 22 217 yds 2 TD 1 INT 119.1

And after his second quarter pick : 12-15, 172, 2 TD 0 int.

It's the rams dude

 

[FLcowboy]

He's not "done." But I do think it's time to seriously start considering finding his replacement for the future.

That's kind of an understatement. He hasn't looked good yet. He's okay, but, he isn't dominate like he used to be. And the sad part is there isn't anybody in the wings.

 

[SDCowboy]

You're right. It's even more impressive against one of the top D's in the league. Good point.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Been hearing a lot about how Romo would continue to decline this year, but each week he's gotten better and better. The pick six was a superb read and break by Janoris Jenkins; but even if we blame Romo for that play, he was almost flawless after it.

 

[Brooksey]

Romo needs to be replaced with a first round draft pick, next year. Any other move by the franchise, barring a trade for a starting QB, would be out of line and dumb. So, it will probably happen. Hell, JJ will probably extend Romo ....

Lol

 

[Rob Mexico]

Some people are trolls and idiots. Romo played great after a terrible pick six. He was especially great on the drive where he got the first down on his legs and connected with Williams. Romo is Romo, he's up and down, and that's fine, because he's one of the better QBs in the league.

Before the interception drive, we had 7 throws to 3 carries (70%/30%).

We then threw the ball 16 more times in a game where they were down by 21 points.

Meanwhile, we ran the ball 23 times .

That is a 40% *pass* ratio in a game the team was down by 21 points in the 2nd quarter (on the road as well).

We have a 3rd and 1 in the 3rd quarter with at least 2 TE's (may have been 3 TE's in a goal line formation, I'd have to see the play again)...the Rams have bunched up on the line and Romo decides to audible about fifteen times and snap the ball with 1 second left...so the Rams can get a better jump on the ball and they stuff Murray and we end up having to kick a FG.

Romo also wasted a timeout early in the 3rd quarter when they were still down by 4 points...because Romo couldn't stop audibling.

The INT was a terrible throw by Romo and that put us down by 21 points. And we didn't start seeing the passing game get going until the running game got going.

Less is more with Romo. The more we ask him to throw and the more imbalance we have on offense, the worse Romo gets. The more he audibles is when he gets himself in trouble.

Thankfully, we played the Rams today. But odds are if we call plays and audible out of plays like we did in our first 2 possessions and get down 21-0 and still don't understand basic situational football, teams are not going to blow those leads.

Maybe , maybe not. Maybe there is more to football then stats.

Just more and more and more excuses........for Romo. For Jerry. For Garret, For the poor Dallas Cowboys.......excuse after excuse after excuse.... That's what losers do. Make up excuses for not winning........

And the Dallas Cowboys fan base does it better then jerry jones himself.......make up excuses.......

It's disgusting. Sickening.....

Feel free to stop being a fan at any time. The Seahawks are the hot ticket right now and need some more bandwagon fans.

All your posts do is make you come across as a spoiled child. You got to see the team win year after year and think that's the way it should always be.

Well welcome to the real world where not everything is butterflies and rainbows.

I've never seen this team win anything yet I'm here year after year doing what real fans do and that's cheer for their team win or lose. I know they aren't perfect and I know Jerry Jones is the main problem but it is what it is and I'm going to watch this team and celebrate each victory and when they do make it back to the Super Bowl it'll be worth the torture I've had to endure.

Now take your "woe is me" soapbox and shove it where the sun don't shine.

We saw improvement, no question. But his deep accuracy still isn't on point. If the Cowboys hope to keep Murray effective throughout the game, they have to be able to beat them deep consistently.

Before the INT we were throwing more because we were in 2nd and 14 and 3rd and 12 situations because the running game was actually LOSING yardage.

From the INT to half time it was 9 passes to 5 rushes.

Coming out of the half it was Romo with the deep ball to Dez for the TD. After that, they got more conservative because we had caught back up.

They relied on Romo and he got us back in the game.

We kept getitng into those situations because Romo audilbled into them and they were draw plays (delay draw plays not sprint draws).

After the INT we had 2 passes for 9 and 8 yards....then Murray had 3 carries in a row for 39 yards which moved the ball into Rams territory. Then we went incomplete to Witten and had a wide open Beasley in which Romo underthrew the ball and got bailed out by a PI that put the ball to the 1-yard line and we punched it in.

In the 3rd quarter, we started off with 2 runs, then hit the play action to Dez.

And we were still down by 4-points. And we ended up running the ball 14 times to 8 pass attempts.

So, we ended up throwing the ball 36.3% of the time when we we scored a TD in the 3rd quarter to go down by 4 (on the road).

They simply relied on the running game to get the team back in the game and to open up things more for Romo because him throwing on 1st and 2nd down with shotgun and empty backfield formations wasn't working effectively. When we started to use more Romo under center and made it less obvious we were going to throw the ball (and stopped throwing the ball so often)....the offense moved the ball more effectively.

This place is amazing. We win the game and we bash the QB. Unbelievable.
