IRVING -- Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said "it's the nature of football" for quarterback Tony Romo to beat himself up after a game where he struggles late such as the 27-24 loss Sunday night at the New York Jets.
"Certainly, the quarterback is the most-scrutinized position on the field and Tony did a lot of great things throughout that ballgame last night, really played very, very well and then made a couple of critical mistakes," Garrett said. "He's a guy who has had a lot of success as our quarterback. He's a guy that's helped us get a lot of leads in the fourth quarter throughout his career. He's done a great job keeping some of those leads or most or the large majority of those leads throughout his career.
"Sometimes it goes the other way. He's not the only quarterback this happens to. A lot of great quarterbacks who have played in this organization and played throughout the league have had similar things happen to them late in ballgames. And hopefully Tony will learn from this experience. There's no question in my mind he will learn from this experience. We've just got to get better as a football team, because there were some signature plays from the game last night that certainly hurt us that he was involved in, but there were some other plays that hurt us as well and we've got to clean those up. It's our job as a staff to help our players clean those things up and help our team to clean them up so we can go forward and win some of those games in the future."

This is the first stupid thing Garrett has said, IMO.
He's not some young pup anymore. If he hasnt' learned after 9 years in the league, he aint gonna.
