Everyone harps on Romo's turnovers but MB3 has suddenly turned into a fumbling machine. i don't ever remember this being a problem but he is fumbling EVERY SINGLE GAME.

I'm wondering if his rib injury is still bothering him.

probably when he took over as a the starter... something has been up since then.

I was wondering the same thing. I never recall him fumbling before this season. Maybe he just needs to stick to being the closer instead of an every down back? Just a thought.

It all starts with a lack of attention to detail. Emphasis.....not being provided by ANYONE in this putrid organization. Ellis sees it and has had the courage to say it.

This isn't something new with MB. Don't you remember his rookie season? I remember BP being upset about the fumbles.

Yep, more touches, more fumbles...

Emmitt touched the ball a LOT. I don't recall him putting it on the carpet very often.

Not only Romo's and Barber's fumbles how about Witten and his penalties. This dude has at least one every game now and it seems to always come on a catch he made or on 3rd and long.

Just another example of the lack of focus and discipline that has infected the whole team/organization.

If you look at all of his fumbles, it is ALWAYS when a defender is hitting him from behind.

about the same time that Witten became a illegal shift/false start machine

Agreed. This is why I've never been on Romo specifically for all the turnovers. This lack of attention to detail is a team-wide problem. If Romo stopped fumbling, we'd still see the same basic problems emerge elsewhere.

That's not to exclude Romo, by the way. He clearly has needed to step up. But not just him.

It is a tad curious.

He had a bit of a problem his rookie year. Parcells rode him on it, and it was fixed.

The illegal motion penalty on him today was bogus. Either way Witten is the least of our problems.
