Im going to bring it over here JB. Yeah Romo makes bad decisions. He throws an INT late in the game. But he doesnt play defense. And thank god for that. And he isnt coaching the team either. I know he had his chances late in the game but how about the defense actually make a stop? How about playing smart and cutting down on the 133 yards in penalties. Two tip balls that lead to INT's. Numerous stupid mistakes the whole game! Im not going to defend Romo any more, he makes stupid plays and bad decisions. But that loss was not all Romo. He did more then enough to win the game. This team lacks discipline and cant make a stop on defense to save its life. The coaching staff should have been fired last year or even the year before when they got embarrassed two straight weeks to end the season. Now were stuck with them this year.
I absolutely agree that it was not all Romo. No question. Jenkins stunk in coverage. The penalties are on the head coach and getting his team ready. Off a bye week at home! But in the end, the QB had 2 chances late in the game to win the whole thing. 2 chances! And both times, he delivered bad decisions, bad throws, and in the end, could not get it done when it counted.
Had he delivered on one of those two late drives, the argument would have been that despite how bad the coaching was and despite how bad the defense was, Romo delivered when he needed to and got it done. In this case, he played down to their level and in two separate tries to win it (when the defense gave him the ball back), he blew it with bad decisions. If this was an isolated incident, I think he gets a pass. But clearly it is not. I think he should shoulder just as much of the blame as the rest.
