Romo wasnt some first or second yr player, or some mediocre scrub that has major handicaps to his game. He's a probowl calibar player. He absolutely ripped the Lions D apart the first 35 mins, there was no evidence that he was going to meltdown the way he did.
And the Lions had shown they could come back in 2 of their 3 wins. They came back from a 20 pt deficit the week before (on the road) and had proven they could score points. It probably wouldnt have been smart to take the foot off the gas. Further, even after Romo's first two picks (that gave them 14 pts) we still had the lead, and the defense didnt hold it. There's certainly no guarantee Detroit wouldnt have scored two offensive tds in place of those two gimmee pick 6's.
So it falls on Garret to not put his QB (who is stinking up the place) in a position to continue to hurt the team.
Anyway you look at it Garret failed to manage the game.
