Once he has more than one offensive lineman who can hold a block for more than a second, romo cant be blamed for anything, especially with the horrid play calling. The dallas cowboys gain at least 15 yac every time they run deep crossers but they never do Jason Garrett seems to like quick throws into coverage, like the last interception in the game

Romo is not an elite QB, but he could do much better, perhaps even win a super bowl is he had a decent supporting cast, starting with an offensive line, and a coach that could put a game winning plan together. Jones should start by firing Rob Ryan who is way overrated, then hire an offensive coordinator that would actually be allowed to call the plays, and if he intends keeping Jason Garrett, he should just put a dress on him and let him cheer. He also needs to do some serious trading to pick up some proven players, or do it through draft. We need some players that don’t get injured every other week. Sure, Romo threw an int, but that should not have been a throwing play to begin with. Perhaps a screen, but not down field. The Skins had been in single coverage all night, and pressing the underneath stuff, so what does Garrett call, a short out…just stupid! Let’s not put all the blame on Romo. The problem starts with the coaching, and that is where it ends.

Jerry Jones needs to fire Jerry as the GM. Then we need to fire Romo and probably Garrett too. If they don’t fire Romo they need to at least develop an offense that will account for his terrible decision making. Which still means Garrett should be fired. He has let us down all year.

You can blame Romo for loosing the game he is only
the qb he is not the defense that suppose to protect the scores and keep the other team from score. Yes he threw three ints. but that not all the reason you must look at the defense. A

I like how the announcers were gushing over RG3, saying he “dragged” this team to the playoffs with the win streak, in which he didn’t even play every game and in this game, where he barely threw for 100 yards while his RB got 200 on the ground.

RG3 is at best the THIRD best rookie QB this year.

As for Romo, It was a gutty performance with terrible play calling and a bunch of wide recievers made out of chinaand flash paper.

I love it. You just knew he would blow it again. The cowboys deserve this. Arrogance has been justly rewarded.

@japmen: You didn’t see Romo after the 3rd int. He was on the bench and threw his helmet and someone intercepted it LOL!

Methinks you are very used to this feeling by now Tony.

You just stay the way you are. D.C. appreciates you.

Romo hasnt gotten it done yet. 3 ints is usually the main reason a team loses. The guy has never made really good decisions with the ball. All the talent in the world doesnt help if you are always making bad decisions. The cowgirls will never compete for a SB with Romo as their QB. he’s had all the time in the world to chage the public perception. Same guy, same results.

Tony Romo, Celebrity Quarterback (TM), is more concerned with how he looks than how he plays. If he played for a team that doesn’t get as much (undeserved) media coverage as the Cowboys, he wouldn’t get nearly as much press and wouldn’t have nearly the ego.

You “feel” you let your team down? Tony Romo, Celebrity Quarterback (TM), you weren’t the only one, but you DID let your team down.

Romo has issues at times, but its not all his fault. I totally hate the Cowboys, but if you take a look at the whole team, they just aren’t very good. Why such disppointment for not making the playoffs? They wouldn’t have went very far. Romo is far from the biggest problem on the Cowboys…start at the top…the very top, you will solve most of it there.

Feel your pain. I have watched Philip Rivers tank away at least 3 games w bad picks literally snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

“It just does not feel good, and I feel as though I let our team down,” Romo said.

Well, Tony, you feel that way because you did. Romo has some talent and he’s a good NFL QB, but it might now be time for Dallas to move on and find someone new. This guy just cannot win a big game and, while he can put up big numbers when the pressure’s off, we know those numbers don’t matter when it comes down to a clutch situation. Best to cut ties now and get a QB who can do more with all the talent on this roster.

It’s gotta be tough for Tony Romo. Another game and another blunder. I really do feel bad for the guy and it’s going to be interesting to see what Dallas does going forward. I feel as though you’re not doing much better than Tony Romo but there will be some fans definitely clamouring for change. Another disappointing season in Dallas and another disappointing end to the season for Tony Romo. Gonna be a fun off-season in Big D.

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, the cowboys will never make it to let alone win a superbowl as long as Romo’s their starting Qb!!!

This team has too many guys who have disappeared as impact players with fat contracts (Austin,Ratliff,Scandrick etc)all given to them by Jerrah Jones.Romo is now in a contract year and should be given this year to step up or step off!The Cowboys need to get back to basics:draft and acquire offensive and defensive line help.Run the ball and decide if Demarco Murray is the answer at running back or not because a stud running back would have helped manage the clock(see Alfred Morris)and limit Romo’s tendency to be wreckless.The nucleus is there.Jones needs to take a giant step and hire a GM who recognizes talent and help curb the circus atmosphere in Jerry World.

they should have kicked that field goal first half with 45 secs. If they miss with 45 secs worst could happen wash gets a field goal instead and are up 10-7 instead its 7-7 at the half. Garret is a pus and needs to go not Romo

Jerry Jones needs to stick with being the promoter and tour guide and leave the football decisions to a new GM. As far as Romo, his stats are mid-range at best compared to other NFL QBs. Hire Norv Turner as OC and let Garrett be the Head Coach. Garrett isn’t mature enough to do both.

Let’s face a couple of facts here…
Tony Romo is a choke artist and Jerry Jones is no General Manager.
I can count on the fingers of one hand how many big games Romo has won throughout his career. I don’t have enough digits on my hands and feet combined to count how many games he’s literally thrown away.
Jones is a walking ego. He’s rather throw money away than admit he can’t do the job. His record speaks for itself. You suck, Jerry.
My two favorite teams are the Browns and whoever is playing Dallas.
Last night my 2nd favorite team won and I have Romo and Jones to thank for it.

In big moments in the past Tony has tried too hard! He’s pressed to be the MAN, instead of letting the offense come to him. Although last night’s loss hurts, lets look at the big picture here. Tony actually made good decisions, didn’t press too hard and did his job. He was calm, under control and didn’t panic. He just made 2 throwing errors. The pick over the middle was clearly Oggletree’s fault (who shouldn’t even be on this roster).

These were physical errors, not mental errors from pushing too hard. Physical errors are going to happen. If that screen pass had been 2 feet higher, that play goes for 30 yards and an easy step out of bounds to stop the clock. GREAT play call! Tony just missed the throw. Same with the underthrown ball to Miles. Miles had a step,…..Tony just missed the throw 6 more feet on that ball and it might be a touchdown. My point is this,……Tony picked the right targets against the right coverage. Throwing accuracy Tony can work on. If you ask me, he didn’t really choke. He just missed a couple throws and that can happen to anyone at anytime.

He will be great again next year. Give him a clean pocket and he’ll throw for over 5K yards. If I were GM, I’d draft OG, DE, OT, S, DT, DT, WR, and then trade Miles and Felix (neither can stay healthy) and Ogletree (after 4 years he still doesn’t understand our offense).

I’m a huge Dallas fan, but Romo isn’t our only issue. The man puts up numbers, but he will never be elite if he can’t perform when it counts. Physically, he’s not a bad QB. Mentally, he is nowhere close. Put the golf clubs down Tony and study your craft. Our defense was terrible. Sure we had injuries all season, but someone needs to step up. The offensive line was awful. Head coach (no emotion and can’t instill discipline) and GM (yes Jerry…you with aging free agents and bad draft picks) are hurting us as well. Murray is decent but too injury prone so a good back up RB would be nice also. I give them another 2-3 years before we can turn some things around.

How bout everyone else stepping up all you idiot Romo bashers. Demarco sucks Dallas has had not a stud in years. Ware sucked this year Dez sucked half the season no defense especially the secondary and Romo letem down get real he’s their only star you lamebrains! Witten and Romo thats it the team has no studs besides Romo and Witten and Dez austins always hurt and even Garret sucks too conservative like parcells
