It's always the easy way out to hang everything on one guy, but clearly the play selection was terrible. That interception was Romo's 17th consecutive pass attempt. A Dallas RB didn't touch the ball in the entire fourth quarter.
I'd like to see him not throw the int in the final minutes of a close game. But what I expect? I expected what I saw at the end of the game. Just like we ususally get from him late in big games....a crushing turnover.
I know. Defense was atrocious. We don't have pro bowlers across the entire OL. We have a dumbass as owner/GM. A HC in over his head. Lots of factors in our losses. And one just happens to be the QB who inexplicably finds a way to throw it all away in the final minutes.
Clutchness is a delusion. Remember guys like Rodgers and Brees haven't managed to deliver in the clutch recently. Remember Brady lost his last two superbowls, including closing one with two interceptions. Remember Peyton lost his last superbowl with a pick six, and lost in the playoffs due to an interception? Clutch is a word people use to nail down a bunch of independent variables that are too hard to think about.
Nobody is saying that. There is no need for you to go all dramatic and invent it.
Throwing to a rookie TE in triple coverage inside your own 30 late in a tie game. Not boneheaded at all.
More excuses. I know Aikman, Staubach, Montana, Bradshaw, etc all threw int's before too. But Romo seems to come up small in big situations like no other. Luckily for us Jerry gave him a huge extension so if the last 8 years wasn't enough we'll get to see even more of it in the future.
Agreed.
Go look at the still photo from the endzone when Romo begins the throw. Escobar was not triple covered. Just more of you making up dramatics. One guy is 12-15 yards in front of Escobar (and on another receiver). The second is five yards in front and 7 yards downfield, standing still. The 3rd is in a trailing position a few yards behind him. If you have half a clue and weren't trying to cling to some preprogrammed stupidity, you'd easily see he wasn't triple covered. Actually, none of them were in position to make a play on the ball. Unless something happened to hinder the throw coming out. Which, ya know, is what people are saying here. Instead of making retarded claims of triple coverage.
I know...it's always someone else's fault when Tony throws a late game losing int.
When you just have nothing, keep regurgitating the same stupidity over and over. Even better when nobody has even remotely said it.
I've seen plenty of people, including you, who keep blaming someone other than Tony for his late INT. I know you want to believe in him and that things will be different. But he is what he is.
