Star-Telegram:Romo should have taken blame of bad play

[LowTech]

I'll admit, it was my fault. Can we move on now.

If Miles feels Romo is throwing him under the bus it does matter. This is how lockerroom problems can start.

What reason do I have to believe that Miles feels that way?

The way he's been acting all week. Anyway, I'm not definitely saying he is, because honestly, nobody outside the organization knows for sure what all is going on in the lockerroom. I'm just saying if Romo screwed up and is having Austin take the blame, there will be problems.

Truly sterling leadership by our quarterback Romo. We will go far with him.

So we are all to believe Galloway because he talked to some guy that told him it was Romo's fault and Galloway then had this verified by talking to some other guys???

I am sorry, but if Galloway doesnt have the balls to name his sources, then what he is saying is pure BS. Galloway telling me that it is Romo's fault doesnt convince me. If Galloway talked to "somebody in the know", then state his name or his postion in the organization.

No, I do not believe Galloway is telling the truth here. If he doesnt have the balls to man up and name his source, then F him. That would be like me saying that I talked to a guy that knows a guy that overheard another guy say Romo was at fault.

To accuse Romo of knowing letting a teammate take the blame for his mistake is a very serious charge and Galloway's word is not good enough for me to believe it. Grow some balls Galloway, you are embarrassing yourself.

Fine, don't believe it. But there is really no reason to believe Galloway is lying, aside from him not naming his source. Why would he lie? What does he have to gain?

What sells more papers, a story about our videoboard or a story about Romo blaming Austin for his mistake and the organization goes along with it until a mysterious source gets fed up with it and leaks it to the media, thus exposing the cover up!!!!

Controversy sells, that is a fact. So to think Galloway is such an angel that he would not do something like this is bogus.

Like I said, I dont believe a word of it.

Romo is a donkey, Just like brainfart....errr pit!!

Nobody internally blamed anything on anybody. The reason this has become manufactured as an important story by the media is because the media is POed that the team has created an us-against-them attitude with respect to the media, and is not telling them anything anymore.

That's why you get articles from JJT insinuating that Romo is no longer talking ot the media when that is the case and articles from Galloway insiting Romo is not a leader for taking the blame. Not only is Romo talking to the media (he did so thursday - just didn't bother to inform JJT he would do it on Thursday instead of Wednesday), Romo still is the team's leader and you see that when Austin decides not to talk about the play or throw Romo under the bus.

In fact, when Austion was asked about Romo, he quickly changed the subject - I think - so that Romo does not get cuaght up in anything. WRs don't do that for their QBs if they don't view them as leaders, so Galloway's insinuation that that Romo's move was leader-less is completely baseless.

Just Play.

If it wasn't Austin's fault, why was he on the sidelines retracing the route with Romo?

Why don't we make a mountain out of a mole hill. First of all why is only Randy Galloway privvy to such information. Randy is occasionally right about things but more often than not he is wrong. His tendency is always to be a negative Nancy, so when the team is tentatively struggling he appears to be Nostradamus.

If you look at the history of owning up Tony consistently has taken the blame. Sometimes it really is a miscommunication. Troy is objectively critical of Tony. From his former quarterback perspective it looked like Austin may have run the wrong route. In fact it was reported that Tony appeared to be discussing the pass with Austin on the sidelines after the interception.

Austin ran a sucky route, anybody who saw the film can see that. He basically ran up to Bailey and turned around to the inside. 9 out of 10 zoners could've covered him on that route.

This. But there's no controversy in that so we won't be reading about it.

Might be true....but then why throw the ball?

We have to understand that the media will never stop....the circus is still here and it didnt go away because a clown was removed.

Play better...and the critics will ease down....

That being said.....we are still looking for leaders on this team....players have to be accountable

You basically answered your own question. Miles doesn't have skins on the wall, so if he ran the wrong route he'd offer a mea culpa immediately. But he was defending himself on the sidelines even when Sherman got there. And even till Friday, he was taking the high road which obviously showed that he still feels he was right. He's usually a stand up guy. Sources have corroborated his side of the story.

To me, what happened was that he ran his route correctly given the positioning of Champ to the inside. But Romo read Dawkins giving inside help and expected Miles to see that and break it to the outside. Miles obviously didn't read that and they weren't on the same page.

The whole route, like the two slants to the endzone might've been fool's gold from the start and those throws probably should've gone elsewhere.

But this is much ado about nothing.

Tony Romo should only take the blame if indeed it was Tony Romo's fault.

If Miles Austin truely ran the wrong route, Tony Romo should not appease some fans and be the fall guy.

Why is this even a big deal anyway?

I keep wondering the same thing. It wasnt like it was the teams only mistake last week.

Yep and the dirty secret is that it is going to happen again.

A good number of interceptions thrown in this league occur because the Quarterback and/or the Receiver made a mistake.

There are bigger fish to fry than trying to crucify Miles Austin or Tony Romo.

Honestly, I've been around Cowboyszone for a while and I haven't seen the fans so bloodthirsty : .

But hey, 12 or so seasons without a Playoff win can do that to any fanbase.
