All game? Didn't Roy have 3 targets? That's the least amount of targets he's had all season long. Hardly "all game".

Valid point, but he certainly didn't make the most of them. I agree with whoever said Miles needs to get open more often. Maybe not even get open, but at least run deeper routes. That should open up the underneath for the receivers that belong there.

Not Roy related but,

The most gratifying thing about that final scoring drive, besides the obvious was Austin beating hall repeatedly.

Hall was talking trash after every play with austin. He is one arrogant rick with a P. I wouldnt want that guy on my team in a million years. At one point after austin's first catch austin signaled first down and hall grabbed austins jersey and shoved him.....

Watching midget snyder standing at the 50 today and looking all around at the stadium and the videoboard and then losing that way was so great.

If Roy has to make those catches, then Tony needs to do a better job throwing the ball. A few of those passes were just off target and we used to crucify past QB's for not being accurate. Roy needed to make those catches but Tony needs to do a better job at not making routine throws harder than they need to be.

Probably 90% of Miles routes are deep down field because we want to give Witten space underneath, if we could mix it up a little more with both the starters I think we'd have more success. Also would help if Romo could place the ball well earlier in the game, not every pass needs to be high.

see the part of my sig that's all caps. It will tell you all you need to know about my opinion of Roy. It hasn't changed since he got here. Go ahead and attach some Christmas ornaments to the closest bag of pungent garbage & snap a picture of it. Therein would lie your discount fathead of the venerable RW11.

With Romo being off today it is hard to say how good or bad Williams played today.Romo was high on passes to a bunch of different receivers today and skipped one to Phillips who was all alone.Should Williams have made a few of those catches,maybe?But it's hard to tell how high those passes are from the recliner.

Who Romo or Roy? I mean i'm not going to make excuses for Roy. I thought all 3 were tough catches to make but I thought Roy should've atleast caught 2 of the 3. They were catches that I wouldn't expect Crayton to catch but I think a little more of Roy to the point where I think he should've caught them. But let's don't kid ourselves. Those were terrible throws by Romo. He's throwing these footballs high and getting guys killed. Or did today anyway. He throws Roy the football like he's Martellus Bennet's height and he throws the football to Bennett like he's Shaquille O'Neal's height. But man that last drive? I don't hear anyone really talking about those amazing throws he threw. That was some of the best passing i've seen Romo ever make. Witten was covered damn good.

Roy Williams is garbage with alligator arms.

Roy is a lot of things but alligator arms is not his problem, he went up for that ball and had both hands on it despite the bad ribs and knowing what had happened in the past when he did something similar, he just didnt hang on to it.

btw, I want some Roy supporters to tell me they were wrong

Don't hold your breath. I would hate to read about you in the paper.

This is full of crap. I was at the game. Romo was awful! He was missing everyone at until 'the drive'. He was overthrowing everyone high. Roy was fully extended and it was barely at his fingertips.
Watch the throws!!! It was just bad. Th WRs didn't have a catch I think till the 4 th quarter.

This was mostly a bad Romo day.

Tony was/has been off lately but in saying that every pass is not going to be perfect and look around the other games, most of the good teams #1 makes most of those catches.

My opinion of Roy is that he makes the game look easier than it should be if that makes any sense. No hasn't really dominated. But what I mean is he may get two hands on the ball and may get one hand on it but that doesn't mean its a catchable ball. That's on two of those passes. One of those Roy should've brought down. Should've brought all of them down IMO but by no means were they easy catches.

What has Olgetree done to deserve starting?

If Williams were to get benched, it'd better be for Crayton.
