One thing on Romo....

[Midswat]

Now that I think about it, the thing I hate most about yesterdays loss is that Romo's leading the team down the field, overcoming that ridiculous 3rd and what, 27(?), then getting the ball in the end zone and putting the ball where it needed to be for the point conversion against a well coached, experienced defense who knew we were one dimensional in that situation.

Then, he put the ball in a perfect spot in after we recovered the onside kick, to Ogletree, who might've scored himself had he not gotten molested by the cornerback.

He'll get no credit for that, because we ultimately lost the game.

But people will keep talking about that Bears 5 int game for weeks.

The Ogletree (we didn't go into OT) wouldn't have counted because I think Tyron got called for holding? Someone got called for something.

Not in overtime. You're thinking about the fourth quarter pass that put us in the aforementioned third and 27 or something retarded like that.

right/.

My mistake was saying overtime. That should read "after we recovered the onside kick", which I'll edit now.

Your mistake is thinking about a play that happened on the drive leading up to our final score, when were down 8.

Thanks to Hairic's thread here: http://www.dallascowboysuniverse.com/showthread.php?11814-Dallas-at-Baltimore-2012-week-6

There was a chop block (bad call) on Felix Jones when Tony Romo threw deep to Ogletree at the 1:11 mark. Made it 2nd and 22.

So yeah, that play wouldn't have counted.

But the pass I'm talking about too place at the 30 second mark after the recovered onside kick.

 

[superpunk]

Yeah good old Otree. Right in the breadbasket.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Yeah, I'm sick of Romo getting blamed for crap that isn't his fault. But that's nothing new, I guess.

18 play drive down 8 at Baltimore where no one wins.

Converts two 4th downs, gets the Td, DEz drops the two point conversion and Monday morning espn has its cast of idiots asking who can u trust, romo or Vick.

You can see hus frustration on the field now more than ever. He looks fed up with the mistakes around him and with the guy in his ear.

We've talked about this before but there is a huge part of our fanbase who thinks 1)Jerry Jones walks on water and 2)Tony Romo is the reason we don't win.

When I hear Cowboy fans talk about Romo being the problem I immediately excuse myself from the conversation. I feel like I'm at the Special Olympics otherwise.

 

[pdom]

Agreed. It's gotten to the point where, if he leaves the Cowboys, I'll still root for him to win a Super Bowl to shut up all the critics.

Romo has his faults, yes, but he's receives a lot of undue criticism.

Yeah, that's Romo's role ...scapegoat. He isn't perfect, but also isn't the problem.

Would love to see Romo go to SF, Seattle or Arizona and just win like 2 straight titles.

Unfortunately, they'll slap the franchise tag on him and keep him here to rot away before any of that happens.

Romo would be as good as any "top QB" if he had a real coach to reel him in from time to time. A coach good enough to calm Romo down but still let him be the magician he is. I know that sounds difficult but there's coaches out there capable of doing it, just none currently employed by the Cowboys.

Uh, that doesn't sound difficult at all actually. Every well-coached team has this. SF has been doing it for about 25 straight games now for Alex Smith. NE, Pitt, GB, NY all have playbooks that are centered around their QB's strengths.

Hell...even the Broncos last season were able to design packages that suited Tebow perfectly. Tim Fucking Tebow.

I'm with you until you said San Francisco.

That chopblock call on Felix was disgusting. By rule, you can't hit a guy below the waist when he's engaged with another blocker. First, Felix was the first to hit him. Second, his shoulder hit the Dlineman at/above the waist. Horrible f'n call.

When they make calls like that it makes you wonder about how legit the league is...
