TheTicket reporting that the Cowboys said:

- 1st INT where Romo dodged the sack and threw to Miles Austin. Romo audibled out of that INT

- 2nd INT - miscommunication between Romo/Beasley. Romo throught Beasley was going to continue his out.

Romo said the INT that he threw to Shields was a run call.

He then says he has to get better. Said they didn't run because the D overloaded one side that they were going to run to.

BS excuse because they were running on the Packers when their D had 8 in the box all afternoon. Plus it was 2nd and 5.

I've said for a long time that Romo needs a strong hand at HC. He needs to be led and cannot lead.

Sounds like Alex Flanagan misreported it. Romo audibled out of a run on the 1st INT, not the 2nd.

Plus, can't you run to the other side of the field?

So, it's just black and white? We can't audible to a different run play? We have to audible to pass every time?

Instead of asking why this team can't make the playoffs, we should be asking how the hell did this team ever make the playoffs?

Tough to pull for this team. It's all bad. The D sucks. Miles blows. Romo missed Dez deep four times. Four times. And the only time he hit him it was still a shitty throw. He used to be so good at that.

There is really no hope until Jerry's gone..
$100 million doesn't buy you much these days.

Luckily we get at least three more years of Romo-coaster. :towel

It's not like he could not get out of that.
Yeah, I'm sure he probably could, but it hasn't sounded like he wants to.

I do wonder how many of the called runs Romo audibles out of.

But yeah, you'd think at some point, they'd step in and say, Tony... do not audible out of this or we're sitting your ass down.
