The real problem with Dallas is Romo

[jobberone]

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.

A Freudian slip???

 

[Ring Leader]

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.

And then proceeded to surrender 24 points in the 4th quarter. Stafford might have gone for over 600 without the turnovers.

Doesn't matter. The game should've been in hand with a +4 turnover margin. All the offense had to do was get one first down at the end of the game and they would've ran out the clock.

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.

Yes but all these things happened today.

BTW I'm a die hard Cowboy fan and don't care about players I want what's best for the team. I cheer for every player on the team to do well and call it like i see it.

Before I get started I'm a big Romo supporter and have liked Garrett for some things but not all.

While Romo is very good I think that he is a problem. If he gets mad at someone no longer does he throw their way. He will force things to his buddies but leave guys wide open and not throw it to them. When he is on he is great but why is it sometimes the offense doesn't wake up till it's too late? Why do we want to play it close all the time? Denver game we had to score points then we put up 48. Today Detroit scores to make it 3 points then we can't be stopped? I feel like the team would be better without Romo, he had won us many games don't get me wrong but things have to change and sometimes this team didn't respond to him. Dez gets in his face then boom we about TDs.

Also Garrett needs to go as well, I think he can be a good coach but not here.

Splitting up Witten and Romo could benefit this team. I see teams with less talent do better.

Discuss... I'm not saying these things because we lost it's a combination since Romo and Garrett have been here.

I think some of the all time worsts posts have taken place today. This is one of them.

Romo needs to start running the ball more often... There are many times he sits back in the pocket with nothing and just waits, when he can take off for ten yards easily...

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.

He wasn't great but he did throw 2 big Tds in the 4th. Just sayin. Typically this would win a ball game. And if you saw him on the sideline he was lobbying to go for the first.

Yes just like post that Romo can do no wrong or Ware or any other player. I guess some folks think their opinion is the only one that matters

 

[khiladi]

This play calling has effectively negated one of Romo's biggest strengths, which is his legs...

If you want to blame someone for the loss, blame Smith with the holding penalty. But I don't blame Smith. The defense couldn't stop the Lions when it mattered, and we can't run the ball. The only reason it was close is because of the turnovers. Without those, we lose going away.

 

[Screw The Hall]

The real problem is the Cowboys can't hang their hat on anything, they really don't know what to go to when the chips are down. They are so all over the place that I can't make heads nor tails of it all. The defense does it's job in the first half and falls completely apart in the second. The offense does nothing for 3 quarters then marches up and down the field in the 4th. I can't pinpoint who to blame. I know I wasn't enamored by the playcalling. I hate that we had to rely on Hamilton during that apocalyptic last drive by the Lions. And I know this ... for all the crap that is thrown Romo's way for not being clutch this really is a team enigma. This team just finds ways to be average. They invent them even.

Every fan at this point expects to lose these types of down to the wire affairs. This was a HUGE loss psychologically for this team, it has to be. They had a chance to win two in a row on the road for the 1st time during the Garrett era and make a statement that they plan on running away with the NFC East. Instead they seem to be stuck in the same mediocre quagmire that has held this team prisoner for what feels like an eternity.

It hurts because I love the group of guys they have on this team. They are the type of personalities it's easy to root for. But they absolutely cannot get out of their own way. It honestly is like a twilight zone episode that won't end. I love them, they are my Cowboys, but damn these season shaping losses take a toll after awhile.

I don't even want to see a football until next week.

3 TDs and 0 INTs and people still think Romo is the problem.

But we did get the turnovers. And if we would've capitalized on those, we win going away.

 

[kevm3]

kevm3 cannot ever blame the D.

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

Tell me why Rob Ryan isn't the problem in New Orleans despite him 'not being able to hold on at the end of games' with the cowboys last year. Oh yeah, they don't put him in situations where the offense is constantly 3 and outting at the end of games and always forcing the D to make critical stops. They know how to put points on the board to keep the defense off the field unless necessary. They have a HC, OC and QB that know how to keep their foot on the gas pedal.

 

[dart]

sorry guys it will never happen

give me Danny White

and lose Jerry

he has put us in cap hell

it all started with Roy E Williams

then Romo's contract
Austin contract
Rat's contract

I thought this was passing league now and we throw for what 66 yards in the first half

rush for 62 yards for the whole game - man Esobar what wasted pick should have drafted Lacy

heck even Reggie Bush rush for more yards then our whole team did

hey JERRY hears a hint

you build a team from inside out

that mean a O line and a D line

then you go get your secret sauce


who was talkin about Romo in the Hall of Fame

Bwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The real problem with Dallas is Romo

The real problem cuts the checks.

 

[Galian Beast]

stopped reading right there.

I stopped reading at the title, I just came in to see if people properly roasted him.

 

[black label]

/thread

this tool was given an O cord so he could manage games better. Apparently hes gotten worse

 

[Gameover]

Romo really hasn't played well since the Denver game.

 

[Rockport]

But we did get the turnovers. And if we would've capitalized on those, we win going away.

We did capitalize on the turnovers.
