Romo definitely panicked pockets clean and Williams and Beasley are behind coverage both are probably TDs

It's what I was saying, Romo wasn't seeing the field at all. He was missing tons of wide open players.

Thats a TD or at the very least a 40 yard play to Williams.

Again, 2 guys are clearly double covered. 2 guys aren't and they have their men beat. It's a play even Weeden could have made. Nothing against Romo but with his back injury I don't know if he was capable or ready to make that type of throw. He should have never been put back into the game.

Let's just hope Romo doesn't play on Sunday.

You can't put a broken player in and be mad when he doesn't make plays. I would have put him, but hindsight shows he was clearly broken and coaching made a mistake.

He was in deer in the headlights mode for a good part of the game, so it's no surprise that he missed open receivers. He was probably more focused on keeping his ass from getting laid out, which happened anyway.

The play he was injured on was brutal. The vaunted o line needs to own that one.

I wouldn't have played him. He was panicking and playing like crap well before the injury.

He sucked and shouldn't have been allowed back in the game. Especially considering Weeden looked like a level headed rookie while Romo looked like a rookie making his first career start.

A lot of that was on Romo. He holds some responsibility in lining up the pass protection.

i was drunk in a bar, I remember him playing somewhere between great and serviceable, it is all a little fuzzy

Sturm broke it down. That one was on Murray. But more than enough blame to go around all game.
Murray's guy never gets close to Tony on the play he got hurt

We are lucky he isn't gone for the season. That was a free shot.

Even with a new coordinator, we're still running way too many vertical routes under pressure.

Look at that play and look at the space Dez has between himself and the DB. That is a an easy catch and run with a lot of yards if they just call a slant.

Do these guys not understand making adjustments in games like this?

You guys do realize that Romo is about 6 feet tall and everyone immediately in front of him is significantly taller. I think people forget that Romo's height affects his ability to see the field. Manning (well both of them) can see everything because they are tall as hell. Romo, not so much. He sees through cracks between the players. Amazing he can function that way. Brees is the same way.

Bullshit.

The line consists of 5 guys. They blocked 5 guys. The other 8 rushers coming on that play are accounted for by the TE picking up number six, which they did. The RB picking up number seven, which they did. And the free rusher has to be beaten by the WRs and QB recognizing what is coming and running/passing a route accordingly. They did not.
