What was the 4th and 1 call? why did Romo drop back 15 yards

[silver]

I don't know what the 4th down thing was, but the end of the game was not smart. NO one's going to come open at this point, just throw it up.

tony didn't want another int on his record.

 

[theogt]

That was a big part of it......

That was the only part of it.

 

[cowboys#1]

Really, folks?

Because, with only a three-man rush, Doug Free got beat like a rented mule and Romo had to run to keep the play alive.

so why didnt he run it up middle if he seen 3 man rush?

watch the replay, Tony had to throw the ball over JPP's hand, that's why it went out of the endzone.

 

[ufcrules1]

knowing what Eli went through with Manningham, do you guys really know that all of those mistakes that were made by Romo were completely his fault? I have a feeling maybe 1 or 2 of the mistakes he made was on him and the others were on the route run or misread of a blitz.

Lets think about that for a second. The same receivers we had last year didn't have problems running routes.. now all the sudden they have problems running routes? Sure, sometimes a receiver runs a bad route here and there and it can lead to an INT.. but trying to blame Romo's issues mainly on receivers is going too far.

None of the INT's in the last game were due to the receivers IMO.

It shouldn't have ever gotten to 4th and 1.

....And we have a winner !

so Dez and Miles didn't have problems running routes last year?

your so wrong, first one Dez has to break it better, and well Miles has to make a play on that ball. the other 2, yea ill put those on Tony. Do you people even watch the games? Other QBs make those throws all day long, either there WR are where they are supposed to be or they WR makes a play.

Hell Miles made a play the first week. Sometimes you have to count on your WR and right now you cant.

Not to mention, Kitna had no problems at all throwing to Dez and others. People will go to the end of times trying to protect this scrub. If all problems with passes are on the receivers, why do Quarterbacks get canned? It's not their fault.

If all Coaches are not responsible for some dumb players doing dumb things, then why do Coaches get canned? It's not their fault, it's the dumb players.

 

[Derinyar]

Why can't people get that it is a team game. Some portion of fault goes to the QB on every negative play, outside of a simple run. Some portion of fault goes to the WRs on most interceptions. The more talented a WR is the more you should be able to depend on them to make a play and be where they are supposed to be.

Romo has been pretty bad this year. Part of that is on Romo. I do think that Dez, Miles and OTree hasn't been helping Romo that much on a regular basis. The offensive line has been terrible and is probably the main reason that the offense has been failing this year.

COSIGNING THE COSIGNER. NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN 4 and 1.

Because it doesn't fit agendas and its no fun.

JG ran a dumb down version of his crappy offense with Kitna. Maybe that's what he needs to do again so Dez and Ogletree can be productive.

Witten wasn't even that close...it looked like he had to come back to Romo once he saw he was in trouble and Romo just panicked and threw it to the him in the vicinity. At that point, you gotta just realize I'm in trouble, maybe I can get the ball up there and turn it into a hail mary for the other 3 receivers on the field, even if you throw it blindly. Hope that they see it and run to the ball.

Zero chance by throwing it to the sideline

did you watch that play, he was being chased by three Giants immediately after hiking the ball and was with split seconds of being sacked while running backwards, how was he supposed to loook anywhere else? he had three hands up in his face, he could only see Witten along sideline. It was a BAD Bad play call then and the play before it. on 3rd and 1, you run it or call a more successful short play.

 

[tomsanders921]

Crazy thing is, miles is WIDE open in the middle on both 2nd down and either 3rd or 4th. Go back and look at the tape. He runs a simple drag route on both plays and has PLENTY of separation from the defender. He would even have a chance to make a nice catch and run if the ball goes his way. Romo locked into the right side of the field on both plays.

Witten was open on 2nd, but romo just missed him.

Terrible decision to go to ogletree in the endzone. Why risk losing the down there? Even if he catches it, you give eli more than a minute and a half to get into field goal range.

If he looks to the middle of the field, austin picks up the first and more.

Bad decision making by tony is killing this team.

He is great at doing the hard things, but struggles immensely doing the easiest of things.

 

[spolcyc]

Terrible play calling on three consecutive downs. Just convert for ****** sakes and go from there. I understand wanting to be aggressive, but you need to pick the rights spots to do so.

 

[Kilyin]

What a stupid thread.
