I'm asking why the understanding tone when it comes to the defense choking. Yeah, they did okay for 3 qtrs, but let Detroit do anything they wanted in the 4th QTR. Eventually letting them take the ball down the field and score a TD in the late stages.
When the defense provides five turnovers and has to endure all the 3 and outs and the seven punts, where's the choke?
Then I'm asking how you can pin a game like Denver on your QB when he was the only reason it was a game to begin with, but there's no built in excuse there for him there.
Although I never did that, I lay the blame on that loss on the defense where it belongs. But of course only one team all year stopped Denver - I suppose if I were blaming Romo I would be like alot of fellas not acknowledging the great offensive play calling by redball in that game. BOOM.
Romo merely offered up his pick at the worst possible time, is all.
I understand the difference between defensive and offensive performances in both games, I'm just missing the part where you can look at both games and determine that it was the QB(or offense) that came up short both times.
I didn't. I showed you how, for the Detroit game, one could reasonably blame either the offense or the defense depending on your point of view. But look, five turnovers garnered by the defense and not one point scored off them? And you lose by one point?
There may have been a game or two like that, but let's be honest, unless it's my imagination, nearly every game seems like it comes down to the last possession the last 3 or so years.
The games where Dallas needed to score last in order to win were the exception last year, not the rule. Although it seems like it.
And the main point being - give us back 4 or 5 plays that went against us all season, either offensively or defensively - and we're 11-5 instead of 8-8. This team is not as terrible as most believe.
