Romo lovers, don't act like Romo was good today because he wasn't. He was horrid and erratic all game long. The defense caused 4 turnovers yet the offense didn't capitalized leaving Detroit in the game. Romo is not solely the blame but he did play badly today.

How is this Romo or JG fault? The defense just got smacked around.

how about the defense held the lions to SEVEN points until the third quarter and got 4 turnovers and the offense didn't capitalize at all. The game would have been a blowout if we did. The only time the offense got in gear was when Dez started screaming. Funny how the defense has to show up perfectly for 4 quarters and the offense only has to show up for 1 quarter, but the defense will get the blame. I said Garrett plays so that he doesn't get the blame, and that's exactly what happens here... play super conservative the whole game... play decent in the fourth quarter. Have a chance to seal the game on the offense side of the ball.. 3 and out and put iit back into the hands of the defense. The question we need to ask ourselves is why is the defense constantly defending against game winning drives? Why doesn't the offense march down the field to run the clock out instead of constantly 3 and outting and putting the D back on the field?

it's not about today, I'm said it's been over time. Never once did I say today. Yea sometimes he does but how many times TODAY did Romo throw to Dez? How many to a covered T Will?

So, you want Romo to throw to a covered Dez, right? And then if Romo throws 3 Int's trying to do that, then its get rid or Romo, right?

Now that is some football logic, I tell you! lol

It's the same story over and over.

Defense can't get key stops late in games.
Offense can't run out the clock to preserve a win.

The other team gets paid to play too. I hope that answered your question?

Yeah? Why was it only seven points? There were shoving the ball right up our butt but would then fumble. Dez screaming had NOTHING to do with Williams making that touchdown. It was that Williams actually pulled that one in.

kevm3 cannot ever blame the D.

They could give up 1000 yards in a game and in the end he would blame everyone else

Yea I guess stafford need not to throw to a covered Calvin cause they might have 4 turnovers. Guess don't throw to Dez on a jump ball in the endzone cause he might catch it with 2 people all over him. I guess forcing to T Will is a better idea cause he only dropped 60 percent of them today.

GET REAL dude you get the ball to your playmaker.

It was good enough to win the game. Had Garret done his job better, it WOULD have won us the game.

as regards the OP= clearly he wanted to find a reason to blame Romo despite his bleatings to the contrary.

This loss was on the D in the end. They gave up over 600 YARDS! 329 to megatron. And yet some here think that was good enough to win a game
I'm a big fan of Romo and never blamed him for this lost. People read please. I want talking about this game today. I'm talking about this whole Garrett era.

That's the dang problem with you Cowboys fans. Each game is something new to complain about. This week w lost cause of defense, last week cause no run game, special teams won the game this week. I started a new thread because it's not about a game it's about many games.

Well, I guess in Madden it would be safe to do that, because if you lose the game, you can just reset and try again.

When Romo gets hit early in games as he did today, he develops happy feet, doesn't set his feet and step up and throws off his back foot to many times, but I wouldn't put the blame on him as much as the offensive line and play calling for this loss, This team has no consistent running attack and no balance on offense, no push from the offensive line and often the offense finds itself third and long on too many occasions with the responsibility on Romo's shoulders to make things happen, and I think that's the mistake this club gets into by putting too much on Romo and when that happens, far too often that's when the mistakes occur...

Are you serious? The defense forced 4 turnovers for our offense who failed to capitalize. We couldn't even move the ball in the first half. It's blatantly obvious that we are a very poorly coached team.

Forced them to rack up 600 yards? Was that part of the plan to getting turnovers?
Dont bother answering. You have your own agenda.

The D was practically worn down by the time 4th quarter hit. I'm not going to put this all on the D. Playcalling was atrocious this game.

What's my agenda then? Bc I have no idea. To put this loss on the defense after they forced 4 turnovers is foolish. And a sure sign of an agenda of your own.. The offense couldn't capitalize off the turnovers and they couldn't get a first down to milk the clock and win the game at the end. The defense isn't perfect, but this league is about offense now. And we failed on that side of the ball.

This is Garret's fault. He's proven that he has no clue how to manage the game. Who the hell runs the ball to run out the clock twice, gets negative yards out of it, and decides to pass on 3rd down? On back-to-back drives? Either play for the first down or kill the clock but that decision has to be made on first down.

He wants to outsmart people. Sometimes you just have to play simple football.

Without those 4 turnovers I doubt that we would have been in a position to win. So you better thank the defense for that.

Our offense was aweful. Trying to run the ball on 1st down and on many times was just dumb. You throw the ball to Dez when he has 1 on 1. His our best playmaker. Not Joseph Randle or Lance Dunbar.
