Its not the run pass ratio that needs to change as much as it is running it when we should run it...



Despite all the talk this summer about a renewed commitment to the running game, the Cowboys still have an aversion to handing the ball off when it matters most. Two of those failures Sunday provided the impetus for a season-opening 28-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

From a different article:

Not only did Romo miss Harris. He missed Witten as he inexplicably tried to force the ball into tight coverage with little to no chance for a positive result.
He did not miss the 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis.
“It was one of those things where you couldn’t believe he actually threw it,’’ Willis said. “I just remember my eyes got really big and the ball got really small. I was thinking just hold onto it.​

Willis may have been surprised that he threw it, but I don't think many of us were...

Sadly, these are the types of boneheaded plays Romo has become known for.

Romo bein able to audible to a pass whenever he wants is an issue. We have a line that can run block. Run the damn ball

Unless randle is in the game that is. As long as murray is healthy give him the ball

That's the thing about it , it was a very stupid throw and a stupid decision to throw. We would have had 7 shots if we go for it on 4rth to get 2yards. That's if we had to go for it. Now there could be a hold or false start or delay of game to put us back. I'm putting that all on ROmo. Of course though, I have to wonder how many times he has checked out of a play and it been successful. I've never seen him get credit for that. Jarntt will say that's just me spinning it and taking up for Romo and he could be right. Maybe ROmo has lost something with this surgery. That's not another excuse just maybe he has

Here's my opinion on that. When they walked up to the ball (before they even lined up) I sat forward and said aloud: Let's run the ball. Then what I said went progressively less PG from there...

Again this one isn't as bad as some others I have seen before but GOsselin is known to do it. With all of the rage in professional athletes these days, I wonder how people like Bayless, Steve DEnnis, GOsselin, haven't gotten their asses kicked. We have one here in Tn. How he could walk in the same room with CJ 2k and walk out unscathed blows my mind.

As far as the play call, I actually thought it would be play action on 2nd and 1 . I have always heard thats the down you do it in the red zone so I was expecting it there. They better find something else. The back shoulder fade was covered.

The passes Romo threw into double and triple coverage..... I don't think any of them were on 3rd down were they? Still no reason not to just throw it away and punt, but to make those decisions on 1st or 2nd down plays?? A guy making what Romo makes should have his head in the game more than that IMO
