This Loss to the Giants Is ALL on Romo

[WPBCowboysFan]

4 INTS!

No excuses. No blaming WR's. No justifying. No "IFS"

You cannot have a veteran QB throwing 4 picks and expect to win.

I dont care if Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have done it also. The loss is on Romo. Romo doesnt throw 4 picks, no matter what anybody else on the team does, its not a loss.

I decided to wait 24 hours before reacting to the game. Bottom line: its on Romo. He is the QB. He is the one who threw the ball. His responsibility is to protect the rock.

Nevermind. I take back my response because this is not worth responding to.

Nope, it sure isn't.

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

You guys are correct. If you cant make excuses for Romo, there is no response.

 

[FLcowboy]

I'm glad you waited.

When a quarterback, such as Aikman, throws a pass where the WR is supposed to be, and the WR isn't there, bad things happen. Bryant isn't' suited to play in Red's timing pattern offense that he played in when he was the backup under Norm Turner.

 

[DavidAK]

I would say you have to be a complete homer if you think this Loss isn't mostly on Romo. I mean the first two were on Romo, Yes even if Dez didn't run the best route. Don't throw that ball up there with the safety in perfect position to make a play. The 3rd INt was a good play by the Giants. But Romo went into a meltdown there for a while just throwing a couple really poor balls. He struggled with confidence all day and even during the comeback he missed some throws. No excuses for Romo it was a game to forget.

There is nothing wrong with admitting it. Why are people so stubborn to accept our QB had a bad game.

No, it isn't.

 

[Boys122]

You can't just blame Romo, c'mon.

Felix Fumbled, Dez fumbled a punt. This is a team game. Yeah, Tony wasn't perfect, but it wasn't all on him. I can name several other reasons if you want me too.

If Dez isnt suited for Red's "timing patterns" then why do they try to run them?

Romo - 4 turnovers

Dez - 1 turnover

Felix - 1 turnover

They weren't all Romo's fault though. I'd say two of them were his fault.

Half the time he's running for his life just trying to make a play outta nothing, thanks to his blocking.

 

[DavidAK]

Obviously it's not all his fault.

I would say 65% Romo

10% Felix
10% Dez
15% Garrett

Sounds about right to me

No loss is ever on one player.

No more excuses. He knows the guys he's throwing to. He's had these games before. He has to do better. 4 INT's is horrible.

I'm not happy with 4 interceptions either, but I'm not putting all the blame on him either.

I like Romo. I have justified in the past. I understand timing issues, WR responsibility, etc.

This is a results oriented game. Romo is the QB. He is the leader of the offense. He has to step up. Even if he has idiot receivers, he has to get it done. Protect the ball!

 

[TwoDeep3]

The problem is attributing the interceptions to Romo.

When he throws a pass and does so before the receiver breaks, if the receiver does not get to the spot designated by the coach who drew it up, who is at fault?

The QB who was throwing to the spot, or the receiver who didn't get there.

Second pick Romo throws into single coverage. Austin is turned with his back to where the ball arrived.

Romo overthrew it slightly. This is on Romo.

Thirds, that was simply a great play by Pierre-Paul. The way he laid back and waited on that pass. There isn't a QB in the league that would have not tossed that pick with the harassment Romo was getting.

The last one is a head scratcher. Why he tossed that ball in bounds enough to be picked is confusing.

But, who also brought the team back from 23 down?

Or does that count for nothing.

See it your way. I truly understand. I was a doubter once myself.

But not anymore.

Romo is playing with the worst offense he has had since he has been here. He is carrying this team like no other time. He has knuckleheads for receivers and no running game and an offensive line that seeps defenders like a hole in a radiator.

If Romo had the 2009 offense and this was the results, I would agree with you.

But this is the worst offense I have seen since the Campo days.

If that doesn't factor into it, then it truly is pointless discussing this with you.

Everything factors in. Not denying that.

Romo has played with these guys for a while. These arent new receivers. Romo knows these guys. Seriously, at some point he has to step up. How many times has he had some really brain dead throws picked off? How many seasons? And there is always a reason why he cant get all the blame. The OL. Wrong route. Not good enuff route. Somebody fell down. Jerry spoke into his helmet at the wrong time.

Sure the comeback with 24 pts is valiant. It was great. But as Jimmy said, its more about NOT making the bad plays in the NFL than how many great plays one makes. All that great comeback stuff wasted - and why? The bonehead plays.

Fourth down, so Dallas is turning it over anyway. Romo threw it inbounds just hoping Witten (or someone) would be able to make a play on it.

That's why I was disappointed on the last throw of the game. He has to do the same thing there, just hang it up in the end zone and hope one of his guys can grab it. (Maybe he was trying to, though, and the pressure just forced a bad throw.)

Of course, if he did that and it was intercepted, then some would simply be complaining about how he had 5 interceptions in the game with no understanding of why each one happened.

Okay man, just quit. This was a team screw up.
