Why are you taking the blame for the Dallas Cowboys 33-31 loss to the New York Giants, Tony Romo?
Do you think this shows your newfound leadership skills? Or do you think it impresses the fans because they’ll believe you’re the only guy in the locker room who has the kahunas to tell a room of press people that “It’s my fault.”
Here’s a d-bag who commends Romo for taking the blame. He’s obviously not a Cowboys fan or he wouldn’t be commending Romo for saying the loss was his fault because the fans have seen the act before. They saw it last year. They saw it the year before. They saw it the year he took over for Drew Bledsoe. From mishandling the ball on a crucial field goal to throwing numerous interceptions on bad throws in crucial games, the Dallas Cowboys fans have seen this act before.
It usually starts like this:
Press hypes up the matchup (pick any NFC East opponent) and talks about key players and matchups.
Cowboys come out of the locker room in center field with scanty dressed women rattling their rear-ends in cages on the third deck.
Their opponents hate the glam. They are pumped.
The Cowboys look like bouncers in a strip club wearing funny uniforms. It’s football night.
And even if they play well, and keep the game close, Romo does something silly. Game over.
Now, don’t get me wrong: Jason Garrett is an idiot. Felix Jones fumbled the ball. The defense didn’t have one sack. They missed more than a dozen tackles. Flozell Adams had another penalty.
But hey, at least the stadium was flashy and entertaining. It was fun waiting to see if a punter was going to hit the video board.
End of game. With 4 seconds on the clock, the kick was good, even after Wade Phillips pulled what we all know is a dirty trick in the NFL and should be banned. He did it. I personally think any coach who pulls that stunt should be fired and fined. It’s a desperation move and I don’t ever want to see a Cowboys coach do it again.
So, why is Romo taking the blame again? Doesn’t it sound like this was a failure of the entire team, despite the score showing it was very close, and even a game the Cowboys dominated at times.
Yes, they dominated the running game. 257 yards. Both Marion Barber and Felix Jones scored. When Tashard Choice got the ball, sometimes he looked like Barber, in the way he was running into opposing defenders.
This was a team and coaching failure, plain and simple.
But it’s still getting old hearing Tony take the blame.

and he should’nt take the blame for the loss. he needs to face up to the fact of pure execution. that is is only failure. if he executes propperly, even a purely called game maybe able to be won by great execution? THAT ONE IS HARD TO SAY. but toy does not need to take the blame for “loosing” the game. it’s a team sport. played, won, and lost as a team…..coaching staff included. so all he needs to do is look at the guys in the locker room and face his team mates with the burden of bad execution, and be responsible for being a team leader by example, not words. work hard in practice on play execution for next week. that is where romo will learn and grow into the championship qb he can be. garrett needs to be the one to put him in the positions to succeed. to call the plays that are the strenghth of romo and our offense as a whole. that is where the failure to the team occurred if you ask me. not romo, but garrett. he hurt romo, the offense as a whole, and the D, by putting them all in the wrong position at the time of the game’s momentem. i’ll argue that till i die.
The Defence could have played better also. No sacks in 2 games yet? Where the hell is Demarcus Ware? Effin Greg Ellis has more sacks than the entire Cowboys D, WTF? Bill Cowher Im talking to you!!!!
Tony Romo’s 3 interceptions led to 21 points for the Giants. Don’t be foolish, a lot of the blame should fall on him.
First..Romo is 28-13 as a starter..might want to consider he has had more good games than bad..and notice still only 41 starts
Second..three picks..first one was a good play by the defense..a little high..but a lot of qb’s throw that pass…second was a fluke ..it hit Wittens foot…third was all bad..Tony after the game said he was trying to throw the ball away and didn’t see the safety(Phillips) coaches also said the safety wasn’t supposed to be there..he was a replacement and was out of position..You still don’t throw deep into double coverage..
Third..So with all the Romo bashing I have read, who would you suggest for his replacement? Just bash to bash, we get it you don’t like Romo. What would you do. Start Kitna or McGee?
You can’t blame everything on Romo. out of the 3 INT’s I could only blame him for one. The Defence played like crap and the offensive play calling was suspect. So unless things improve I’m calling for the coaches heads on a silver platter!!!!
First off I think with Tony stats dont mean Jack. Im tired of hearing about his stats yea he has good stats but whats his stats on the big IMPORTANT games. The QB is a very important position and if not played right like sunday you can cause the team to lose. With those picks Romo was lucky for us to be in the game that long. If Garrett was smart he would have just kept the ball out of Romo hands and we would have won that game running the ball. What happened to short routes there was no reason for us to go deep with the pressure they were putting on the line. Giants D like to blitz so this is were Roy should be doing slant routes. Oh well atleast they are doing this early in the season now fix it and lets move on.
So what, the dude had a bad game. Who doesn’t. i dont hear the fans in N.E. calling for Brady’s head. Do you? Its comical guys. C’mon now, Romo didnt loose this game by himself. There was some wacky things going on as well. The int that bounced off Witten. The TD that bounced off Manningham’s hands as he hit the ground and popped up in the air and land back right in his lap,etc. Just one of those games that it was meant to be a Giant victory. How else can you explain us having 4 turnovers, yet in control of the game. Or us having almost 300 yds rushing and them 90 something? Or us passing for 35o last week and giving up big rushing yards vs us passing for 12o something this week and giving up close to 400? Go figure. The only thing I hate hearing is that this was a Big game. Every divisional game is BIG.
Actually Romo “taking the blame” (rightly or wrongly) is having a positive effect on his teammates.
They are rallying behind him. This game could be one of those blessings in disguise.
Pointing fingers is what broke the team up last year
Where have everyone been behind a curtain? Can anyone not see Romo is a over paid failure as a NFL QB.He personally makes to many blunders and cost games to the whole team. Fumbles ,intercetions,bad reads and most of all he can’t get the ball to the recievers half the time!!!!! WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!!
I have always been a cowboy’s fan but this is gone way past the rediculous ……..GET RID OF HIM AND SOLVE THE WHOLE TEAMS PROBLEMS !
I am not a Romo hater but this game was mostly his fault. Something is terribly wrong with our secondary (still) with that being said. We always play off our opponents, we arent that aggressive in the secondary. I dont understand why we dont do any more elaborate blitz packages. Right now I am not liking anyone on the team besides DeMarcus Ware, Bradie James, Ratliff and our running backs. They are the only ones who really look like they are our there to win it.
With all that being said, Romo contributed directly to 21 of the Giants’ 31 points, so this really was his fault. He has a ton of talent but it will never be polished unless a respected, intimidating and smart coach teaches him how to be better. Which brings me to my final point. Our coaching staff SUCKS, starting with Wade at the top followed by an over paid Jason Garret. I am not even a football expert and I think I can predict the majority of our offensive plays. We are predictable, and we shouldnt be predictable considering the amount of weapons we have. I was at the game, it was depressing.
i still say i’m right. mb3 effect, yes you are right. 3 ints led to 21 giant points. he is to blame for bad execution. he did not play up to his potential. he had a bad nite. scott kennedy, you just plain hate him, right? slapyo said it right, brady had a bad game too and they’re not calling for his head. #9 and bevomavt hit it too. if you GET RID of romo who do you replace him with? we use kitna for the rest of this year, and them grab a qb in the first round next year and then spend the next 3 years watching him mature bitching and moaning all the way? remember the growing pains we went thru with even aikman? COME ON GUYS IT’S TIME THAT SOME OF YOU GROW UP AND MATURE. bevomavt said 41 starts 28-13. thats not to bad. the bottom line is this, #9 said it about garrett……..it’s time for him to put up or get out……. and this is what the experts say about tony romo; he has talent. he sees the field. he is a good leader on the field. he’s a very smart qb. he needs to read D’s better. he sometimes takes too many chances with the ball. he needs to have a couple of “big ” wins under his belt to take the next step……….that sounds pretty fair to me. he has the strengths to be a good starter and winner. the weaknesses he has can be over come with one thing…….good coaching. that falls on jason garrett. so when you look at the game on sun, nite you have to put he blame on the loss to jason garrett. tony executed badly, but was put in situations that caused him to come up short. we had certain things that were gong our way all nite. we could run on them at our will. we had a tired D that was getting beat with the pass. now i’m not a nfl coach but i’m frickin smart enough to call plays to our strengths and protect our weakness. jason garrett did not. he “threw” our team to the lions and we lost because we could’nt execute the plays we should’nt have been calling in the first place. now if you want to blame romo for that fine go ahead, but to do so is ignorant to the fact of what really happened out there and what really went wrong with the flow of that game. it is the off-cord. job to keep his team in the “flow ” of what is working for them. we should have been pounding the run once we got the lead from them. it would have allowed our D to rest more and kept their off. out of sync. am i wrong???????HELL NO. THAT IS WHY WE LOST…………ARGUE IT TILL YOUR BLUE IN THE FACE, THOSE ARE THE FACTS.
here’s the proof to the pudding………why is felix jones not being better utilized? every time he touches the ball it seems something big happens. why does’nt garrett utilize him more? when you got batber eating huge chuncks of gound would’nt you continue to pund him till the giants figure out a way to stop it? why do the giants work for them and start passing when the run is working so well? why go 3 and out when your D is sucking air? these are the questions after this game guys, and only jason garrett can answer to them??????again i say, am i wrong? NO
Guys, I compare this to Farve before and after Holmgren.
This is when Farve was the running around, I-can-force-a pass-into-any situation, poor technique using gun slinger that made him famous.
Do you remember the multiple times, once Holmgren got there, that you saw him screaming and cussing at Farve as he came off the field for doing something stupid? Not something bad, but something stupid. It happened frequently. Right there in front of God and creation.
Holmgren reigned him in,held him publicly accountable and this is how Farve won his championship.
The problem for them was that that town wasn’t big enough for Farve and Holmgren, and we know who the odd man out was. We also see how Farve has played since, and how many championships he’s won since.
Brett Farve was bigger than the coaches.
Tony Romo is bigger than our coaches. Why? Two words. Jerry Jones.
Parcells was like a stern father.
Wade’s like your cool uncle that would buy you beer when you were underage.
And with J.J.’s adoration for Jason “boy wonder” Garrett, we know his play calling style won’t change any time soon either.
Romo must be reigned in. It’s the owner stupid...
Boys fans,
There was plenty of blame to go around that night. However the majority of the blame goes to JG. We are up by 4 and driving past midfield pounding the ball with the Giants unable to stop us when JG got to cute with calling for that pass that got picked off. JG should have recognized TR was not having a good game and we were not getting stopped in the run game. He should have also recognized the safety playing about 90 yards off of the ball and there would be no way to get behind him. JG wake the F up and keep staying with what is working or you gonna be the OC for a city college next year. Your play call changed the whole momentum of the game. If you stayed running the ball we score go up by 11 and never look back….
I disagree with so much you said in this post I can’t even begin to dissect it.
You are upset that we lost a game we should have won.
It happens.
Who, me?
I agree with David should have took the ball out of Romo hands. Also stop telling me stats if you want to do that then tell me his stats in the playoffs or any game that something is on the line. Like the last game last season or the first game in the NEW STADIUM. Now what is he… Zero. Im not saying Romo is a bad QB its just everyone treats him like he is Brady or Manning and the fact is they both have Superbowls and Romo dont. In order for Romo to have a Superbowl he has to win the BIG games. This also wont happen until Wade either grows some ball and get on to him or leaves. I mean did anyone see how Wade was all celebrating because their kicker missed the field goal wtf was that. Your team is doing horrible dont be happy about a field goal. Did anyone see the difference between him and the Giants coach even when the Giants won he still was upset with the way they were playing.
