Tony's Maturity

[Dallaslullaby]

Listening to his press conference the main positive for me is that he has matured immensely on and off the field over the past 12-24 months

He is an avid student of this game and I am proud to have him as my QB

Can we please protect him better next year as without him we go less than .500

+1, Romo is a good QB, bad playcalling and autorcious O-line killed him today.

I dont put much of this game on Romo the Oline let him down. The int he should have just took the sack. other than that bad play calling will put you ina real bad spot.

Tony is definitely the future. It's definitely different from what I thought last year. Now lets win the Superbowl in Dallas!

He was totally gun shy after the shellshocking. He was nowhere near the same as last week after he was put thru the grinder

Maybe I read it wrong, but what you replied to was odd......he said that the o-line killed him today.

The Vikings adjusted just fine.

The Defensive Line was extremely active the first couple of series but as Childress told Chris Meyer at halftime, "We adjusted".

The talent on the Offensive Line is not that terrible to where they are completely dominated in a ball game.

Not sure if magic is the correct word, but would go with short passes, quick hits, and most importantly keep running Felix Jones when he is hot and then try the play action after.

Everything fuels the other. Putting Barber in who is having a bad day created 3rd and long situations which resulted in Romo getting beat up and having to sit in the pocket. The personnel selection with the plays being called did hurt. I'm at a lose why you stop running Felix when he is playing well, thus putting Romo in very hard conversion situations.

he said "bad playcalling" and said that before "atrocious O Line"

Other than the pitch out play to Barber (which was set up after running inside 3 straight plays, as Aikman noted) I dont know what "bad plays" people saw called.

Romo had no time. He got sacked 6 or 7 times. We had something like 15 negative offensive plays. The OL just didnt get it done.

And our O-line was autrocious.

Yep tony constantly mentioned the negative play which suits the vikings specifically as it allows their defense to tee off on the qb

Exactly right.

How about the 5th freeze draw that went for negative yards and stalled two drives??? Tough to keep calling that play (which has worked well for us) against a defense who was OBVIOUSLY READY for it. Also more quick throws to our wideouts would have been preferable. The 10-15 yard plays were not developing yet we kept running them. 3-5 yd drags, slants, outs plus about 10 screens. The point is there was no adjustment from JG based on their D-line play.
