Thinking about the unthinkable

4.2 yards per carry on the ground, that is not terrible. Romo threw the INT on 1 & 10 twice and 3 & 2 once. All three situations are run situations when you are up by four scores.

Because we ran way more plays that they did SBK. We ran 15 more total plays than them, and had the ball almost 14 minutes longer.

Again this is simple math skills here. We had 40 throws and 27 runs up to the final drive of the game. Had Romo not blown the game with stupid picks, we wouldnt have had to call passes on the last 8 plays of the game. The 2nd half play calling was 11 runs and 12 passes until the last series.

Concentrate on what you said right there. You give that one sentance to any football expert in the country and i bet they don'guess that we were up big for most of the game with that distribution. It should AT LEAST be close to 50/50.

His problem is decision making. He can make bad decisions just as easily on throw 1 and his does on throw 30. His odds of throwing into impossible coverages to beat doesnt change.

The less you throw, the less chance you have for a turnover.. i'll keep saying it until you understand it.

Well he threw less passes in the second half than what he did in nthe first.

So then he shouldn't have thrown a single pass in the second half then? His INTs came on his 29th and 30th pass attempts.

So for now on, 28 passes a game is the limit for Romo.

.

As he should have, but the split still somehow ended up skewed to the pass when we were up big most of the game. That's not how it should be. Especially after the first pick, you'd think everyone on the sideline would be thinking about controlling the ball and milking the clock after that.

Some wont get it no matter what./ Italways has to be someone else's fault. Bad plays or bad decisions cant be directed at certain players.

Romo basically threw threw the game away. Nobody on here is going to be able to argue with me and change my opinion on it. It had nothing to do with bad play calls, too much passing, the wind, too much sunshine or grass growing strangely. They were bad decisions, period. he played as good as a QB can play for 35 mins, then as bad as a QB can play for the last 25. Its nobodies fault but his.

We can continue to hope he will change, but we've been down this road too many times before. At some point the decision has to become whether or not they are satisfied with his propensity to make awful decisions and throws at the worst possible times.

Im not sure anyone cares about changing your opinion on it, we're all more concerned with reality.

And the reality is he made bad choices. He basically lost the game on his own.

Since you continue to dispute that, apparently you arnt concerned with reality.

So we got up 27-3 by blistering their defense, mainly due to Romo's exceptional passing for the first 35 mins. After the first pick (on a first down throw) your opinion is we passed too much after that series, is this right?

On the very next series there were 7 plays. The first 3 were runs, and then 2 of the next 3 were runs (5 of the 7 plays). Two passes were thrown, one for a first down, one then picked off and run back for another TD by the Lions. So was 5 runs vs 2 passes too aggressive? Was the interception the result of bad play calling?

The series afterward was 9 plays. It ended in a FG. 3 of those 9 plays were runs, but two of the passes were deep downfield. One was overturned by replay (Bryant play) the other was a great play to Witten.

Dallas' next two series were 3 and outs. 3 of the 6 plays were runs. 2 of the 3 passes were little dump off throws. Was this too aggressive?

On Dallas' next to last series, Romo has Witten open on the deep throw down the middle on first down. It would have probably been the game clinching play (we still had the lead) but Romo throws off his back foot and grossly underthrows it, resulting in another pick.

The last series of the game we were behind by 4 pts with no timeouts, and all 8 play calls were passes because they had to be passes.

They scored on one series after the 2nd pick for a TD, and it was the one where the offense had 6 passes vs 3 runs.

So by my count after the first interception but before the last series when we were behind, we ran the ball 11 times and passed 12 times. What play calls are you whining about exactly? If you are going to say we passed too much, you also have to note that the only series we scored on was the series we threw 6 times and ran 3 times (that drive was 9 plays fro 75 yds and ate up about 5 minutes, which was the longest we held the ball on any 2nd half possession in terms of time.

Romo just never comes through when it counts, in week 4.

He made bad choices.. yes.

He lost the game on his own.. no.

You're close.. just can't pull your head out of your ass far enough to admit what the man you cum to everynight has already admitted.
