T.O. and "the drop".

[LittleBoyBlue]

This could be a different game if the mouth wouldn't have dropped that ball....I'm not saying that we woulda won, but for crying out loud, when you yell and scream on the sidelines, you'd better NEVER make a mistake like that.

The guy has led the league in recent years in in dropped passes....yet he talks like he can make a play every time he touches the ball.

If I was Romo, I woulda said something to him about smiling after that drop....that was a BIG drop, IMO.

About Bledsoe and that STUPID pass that was INT'd at the end-zone....how many times have we seen that? That is NOT a pass that should be in our book? Throw the fade but not a hard pass like that....you are just screaming for an INT return for a TD on that...we've seen it happen....other teams have it happen all the time as well.

I am one of the biggest TO supporters and YES I agree he should have caught it. The game would have unfolded differently.

So many holes in this damn... Oline, QB, dropped passes.... yet I think once this unit become a cohesive unit we will wreak havoc

Well, I think there is plenty of blame to go around. The game was still in reach at 12-7 going into the 3rd quarter, and it was very much still in reach, and we had all the mo, when Romo threw a pass to a d lineman. It was still in reach when our D couldn't get off the field. It was still in reach when 31 gave up another touchdown. It was still in reach when...... All night it was in reach!

 

[Jimz31]

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! The ball hit him in the hands and HE DROPPED IT. It was 4th down - catch it and we keep playing. Yes, he caught several nice balls tonight but if he wants to rant and scream anytime it doesn't go his way he needs to catch that ball. Romo could have shown a lot of leadership if he'd run over and grabbed TO by the facemask and lit into him for smiling about it. Everybody drops a ball here or there - don't yuk it up when it's you but rip into everyone else for their mistakes.

That was BS. This game was still in reach, and he blew a critical pass.

Amen to that!

 

[Alweezy]

excellent point, I'm tired of seeing T.O. whine when other players make mistakes and then when it's him he's laughing.. that was annoying.

Exact situation had to come on that Bledsoe interception when we were shown T.O. yelling Throw me the Ball... a drive or two later he gets a chance and drops it, and the Giants roll down the field and we never get any closer...

 

[yennor24]

Why do you guys need to blame a player? The whole team played bad...The giants were better than us today....

 

[BlueStar22]

would've been a different game if we go into halftime up 14-12.

 

[arync]

T.O doesn't yell if its his fault, but if its someone else all hell will break loose

 

[tyke1doe]

How many missed opportunities?

Let me count the ways:

Bledsoe's INT in the endzone.

Brady "Butterfinger" James missing a sure INT.

TO's fourth down drop.

Romo's batted pass.

Bledsoe's safety.

TO's slip on the turf.

Romo's INT in the endzone.

Romo's INT on the screen to JJ.

Inability to stop Brandon James on 4th and 1 when he was behind the line of scrimmage. He scored.

So many missed opportunities.

 

[alancdc]

You guys are right. I see now. It was TO's fault. Have a good evening.

 

[Ganja]

Yep. I was screaming the exact same things as he walked off the field with that big kool-aid smile like everything was alright. That was a huge drop...never know what would've happened if we scored on that possesion.

I hear you, though. I was pissed at TO after that...specifically his reaction. Don't be jaw-jacking on the sidelines talking about you need the ball, then when you're called upon to make a play -- you choke. That's bs!

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I can't take up for T.O. on that critical 4th and 3 dropped pass, it's a play you simply HAVE to make if you want to at LEAST claw and scratch you way back into the game!

 

[Jimz31]

You guys are right. I see now. It was TO's fault. Have a good evening.

Ummmm...someone is missing the point here....it has to do with his talking about wanting the ball...and then getting a chance on 4th down and dropping it and then smiling.

The drop was huge, IMO.

 

[lzppjb]

Lot of morons on this thread.

He wasn't laughing. Have any of you ever seen a grimmace? It's not like he started laughing and high-fived someone walking off the field. He was upset. He was exasperated b/c he dropped it. Don't make **** up just to pile on him.

Also, don't fall for the color analysts comments everytime they see TO yelling on the sideline. How does he, or you for that matter, know what he's saying? He's yelling, sure. Has it ever occured to you that it's pretty damn loud down there? How do you know he's not encouraging players? How do you know he's not telling coaches and his QB what coverage they're running on him and what play might work? Why do you assume that he's whining and complaining just because you see him talking on the sideline?

I'm getting fed up with the media, and some fans, feeding this thing. I've seen other players show frustration on the sideline. What do people say? "Oh he's just frustrated right now." When TO shows his frustration it's, "oh what a horrible teammate! he's tearing this team apart! what a travesty!"

Good God, people! Shut up already.

It was HUGE. TO got the ball in a pressure situation, and his *** dropped it. That started the downward spiral.

 

[alancdc]

I agree. I thought the look on his face was "I can't believe I just dropped that ball." Never saw him laughing. Anyway, he should have cought it, but he WAS OUR ONLY RAY OF HOPE IN THE FIRST HALF, and I thought he actually showed some leadership tonight.

 

[Way 'nuff]

He did that when he was with the Eagles against us. Pass hit him square in the chest and he had both hands on it with his feet set, just past the sticks and he dropped it.

But you can bet he'll make up for it though.

Thats pretty good
The guy who helped lead to the first score and then scored again later started the downward spiral... go ahead keep on hating...

You are not going to change the minds of people that didnt want him. He clearly sparked this team tonight. He could have done more that is true. But he was trying.

Oh my goodness...where to begin? You say the media is feeding this thing and I agree to a point....HOWEVER, "grimmacing"? That was NOT a grimmace.

Yelling because it's loud? Gee, I seem to see other players just talking normally down there....yet you can't see the difference?

Where did I say that he was tearing the team down? that comes in year 2.
