Chins up fellas - everything is gon' be okay ......

Say what you want about the defense. They held for the most part. Things fell apart when Jenkins was lost and it was Ball and McCann, but they did a decent enough job. They gave Romo and the offense opportunites to put the game away. I imagine that you may not have ever played organized football of significance, but if by chance you did, then it couldn't have been defense. 3 and outs do have an impact on defense by physically and mentally wearing them down.

Completely missed my point.

WHat I am saying is that it is a TEAM loss. Not one player, it never is. There is always a play here and there, on each side of the ball. I thought the defense played very well. I was suprised at it. They overcame a buttload of situations. But, just like Romo, the ugliness reared it's head on some plays as well.

And yes, I have played organized ball with meaning to them.

Hate to break it to you, you don't have to play to realize the obvious.

The whole loss isnt entirely Romo's fault, he certainly had no impact on the punt getting blocked for a TD.

But his fumble at the GL was a huge turning point in the game and probably lost the game for us, as we'd have been up 27-17. Assuming the rest of the game had played out as it did, we'd have been trying to run the clock out instead of Romo throwing the pick, which led to the Jets GW FG.

People who hate me - and my posts - hate the truth .

I think that's partly true.

I don't hate you. I can see how people would think you're an idiot. Nearly every post of yours is laced with hyperbolic nonsense. You go to extremes. Instead of making a point, you make an ass of yourself.

I'd say I agree with some of what you say, but then you go the extra mile to be controversial. That's when you get on peoples nerves.

 

[Midswat]

That whole "people who hate me hate the truth" thing?

Yeah... sbk used to say that all the time.

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

I'm pissed like hell at Romo but he's the best we have so I'll roll with him until we can do better...

with that said you can't deny that he was BIGGEST reason why we lost this game.

hmmmmm

you dont think.....

So What if instead of getting them to the 1 then fumbling they just went 3 and out near midfield and pinned the jets inside the 5 it would still be romos fault?

The point is a lot of their success is because of him and how he plays. The pick was bullshit.

People forget the other qb's in the league and the other games romo plays. He's something like 35-22 in his career and every loss is magnified. The wins are just a given all of the sudden? Have we forgotten the decade before him?

Exactly. Sanchez gifted a pick to Lee that was damn near a TD. Then he fumbled when they were driving to tie. Luckily for him, he had a defense that could bail him out. We didn't have a defense that could prevent them from driving to tie the game late in the 4th.

The D played good most of the game, but the 4th quarter was a clusterfuck. Romo didn't help in the 4th, but it's not all on him.

The women in my office at lunch said Romo had to go. I told them how stupid that is to say... come to find out, they didn't watch the game, just the highlights of the end of the game. Go figure.

There OP, that's what you sound like.

That just goes back to Jerry refusing to try and find a QB until Aikman was gone and then spending several years just throwing a bunch of crap against the wall hoping something would stick.
Well, Romo ended up being what stuck, and while he was much better than most of the other projects Jerry paraded in here, he still obviously isn't good enough to get the job done.

But dang, that wilcard win sure was sweet!!!!!111!!!!

 

[Midswat]

Agree. I appreciate Romo for what he is - and I've enjoyed his tenure.

The reality is, however, he isn't going to win a Championship. He doesn't have the mettle.

 

[SixisBetter]

Yes,Romo certainly played a big part in the loss.
Two boneheaded plays stand out.
On third and goal,that ball should have been airmailed into the 16th row.
There's only one way to describe that pick.
Stupid,and that's understating it.

But when you have a shit pie like the 4th quarter last night,everybody gets a nice juicy slice.
Everybody.

Quoting Joe Decamillis
Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis had a feeling what went wrong and said he was mainly disappointed because the Jets already showed that look earlier in the game.

"We blocked it well a couple of times, but we didn't get it done right then," DeCamillis said. "It's extremely disappointing because I thought we played great up to that point against a group that I thought we'd have a lot of trouble with."

That's just crazy talk.. It was ALL Romo's fault. All of it. lol

 

[Midswat]

It's even harder to find a quality QB when you've only drafted TWO in the last 20 years. The only QB's we've drafted since taking Bill Musgrave late in the 1991 draft are Quincy Carter ('01) and Stephen McGee ('09). So yeah, when you pin the bulk of your hopes on undrafted FA's and former baseball players like Hutchinson and Henson, then I'd say it's pretty fricking hard to find a QB in this league.

But maybe if our genius GM actually tried using a 1st round pick at least once a decade on the position then we might not have such the difficult time acquiring a decent signal caller.

I'm not denying that.

We need to draft the guys and try to make them work. It's been a fundamental drafting philosophy that has failed this franchise for two decades.

Yep. And while there is a list of QB's taken in the first round who ended up being busts, the majority of the superstar QB's were taken in the 1st/2nd round. So it's no wonder we've had a difficult time finding a replacement for Aikman when we haven't really tried to get any of the top tier QB's in the draft over the last 20 years.

Yeah,the other players and coaching staff were just there to help hold the big flag in pre-game ceremonies.
What was I thinking?

2nd round?

Peyton #1
stafford #1
Bradford #1
Freeman - 1st
flacco - top 20
vick #1
Eli #1
cutler top 15
Matt Ryan top 5
rivers - top 5
Rodgers -1st
rapist- top 7
brees- basically 1st
Brady 6th round
romo undrafted

I would have taken luck last year as they flirted with no. 1 pick status

 

[Bob Sacamano]

That "horrible" play calling basically abused their defense most of the game.

There was nothing wrong with the play call. The guy running the play just didnt understand the situation, again. he made a bad decision, hoepfully he will learn from it and move forward.

Romo isn't 24 anymore.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Lul espn dusting off that romo promo they got a hard-on right now

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Romo isn't the greatest leader at QB.. i don't know if he has what it takes to go all the way. That being said, when we're inside the 5.. run the fucking ball. Don't give him a chance to fumble it.

You realize running the ball with a RB doesnt eliminate the possibility of a fumble, right?
