Up in Big D , this is anti-Romo week .
Most of the media and fans are blaming Tony for Sunday Night’s loss to the Jets .
Although as Captain and starting Quarterback for THE DALLAS COWBOYS , he should shoulder blame .
But The Loss was a total team collapse on BOTH Players & Coaches .
Yes, Romo needs to Play Better .
Yes , he needs to make better decisions .
NO EXCUSES for the Fourth Quarter Fumble & Interception .
However , this can be a step up for the Team to play better .
According to the Statisticians , this is the FIRST time in over 200 games that Dallas has lead by 14 points in the first quarter , and has lost .
I would hope that in every game for the rest of the season , we will not be complacent again . Now , as we play in the fourth quarter , with any lead , we will remember the LEAD we lost . And even if we are losing , we can have faith , that if we are behind , we can catch up and win . just like the JETS did !
Going back to the Collapse :
Let us Count the Ways -
Romo’s Fumble ;
Romo’s Interception ;
Tashard Choice’s failure to convert on 3rd Down on a Dive play ; this failure is on the coaches ; Why would you put your smallest back in on short yardage ? The smart thing is to have a Bigger Back in for short yardage .
Blocked Punt returned for a TD ; again , this one is on the coaches ; the Jets were showing the same formation all game and the Dallas coaches did not compensate for it .
Finally , what ultimately doomed Dallas is that No one stepped up to make a Big Play.
Yes , D Ware had 2 sacks . But Ware and no one else stepped up on Defense to make The Big Stop ; No Big Stop , No Big Play .
Offense – No Big Play.
Lack of Big Plays by Offense and Defense Dooms Dallas .
