NFL.com news: Romo accuses Redskins defenders of cheating on snap count

Romo throws some nice passes.

but I watched some of that game Monday, he was blaming everyone but himself when things didn't go right. If he can't tell the receivers where to go, or they can't understand him, then how is it their fault. When someone blames everyone around him but himself... I always smell craziness in the air. Now it's the Redskin's defense cheating.

wow, what a douchebag.

Never cared for Romo,one he's a Cowgirl!! Morning everyone!!

 

[guitarmy21b]

how is he a douchebag for telling his practice squad receivers where to lineup and what routes to run? If he says the skins were yelling out their own snap counts they probably were, he has no reason to lie, they won the game and the media has been praising his leadership and toughness. People cant handle Romo getting any props for some reason.

How do you know he was "blaming" them?

How do you know they weren't in the wrong spots?

The defense is not allowed yelling out their own snap count, the last I was aware. And as far as I can see from your link, he never said they "cheated". That was wording the author of the article used.

If the offense is led by the quarterback, and the offense is in disarray, then the offense is being poorly led.

If the Redskin's were yelling out their own snap count, then the referees would have figured that out, thus, It's a lie. He's blaming everyone but himself, that is what crazy people do.

 

[guitarmy21b]

Romo has blamed himself for losses probably more than any other QB since he's been a starter. In this case they didn't even lose. Your argument really holds no weight. He's one of the only QBs that will come out and say "I suck, I need to play a lot better".

 

[vancelot23]

He loses as many games as he wins. He led his team to a whopping 0 TDs against the Skins but gets credit. He's grossly overrated.

Your logic is...well, crazy.

-If a player jumps before the snap, it's the fault of the player who jumped.
-If the center snaps the ball too early or too late (and the rest of the offense is in sync), it is the fault of the center
-If a WR runs an incorrect route, it is the fault of said receiver.

If an offense is in total "disarray", it is most likely the fault of the coaches.

The referees are a good 20 yards away from the d-line while the center and QB are within 5 yards. With or without taking crowd noise into consideration, you can't expect the ref to hear everything that is being yelled at the LOS. That's rIdiculous.

38-17 career record with a rating of 95.9, 3 pro bowls and he's never been considered a top 5 QB...yeah, he's waaay overrated.

 

[flamingrey]

Most people on this board either don't care for stats or don't know how to use them.

 

[HighTide]

I don't have a dog in this fight, but Romo does get a lot more hate than he deserves. He also has been a lot better this season, the leadership he has shown the last two games has been very impressive.

Stupid comment. He is dealing with a WR corp that except for a 2nd year guy who missed the end of last year wasn't even in the league or on an NFL roster prior to this season. On top of that he has an OL in front of him that consists of two true rookies and only one starter with had more than 1 game at their OL position coming into the season.

But yeah, Romo having to tell the guys where to go is because he is a poor leader. Pretty sure a poor leader would not be helping and instead just throw the ball away and go to the bench.

And yes the Skins were calling out the count, which is illegal. They have a guy on their line that was on the Cowboys the last couple of years and so he knows Romo's cadence.

This is not a logical statement, there are clearly other sources of misinformation that can lead to this. To deny this, is illogical, or your just doing it for the sake of stirring up crap.

The refs can hear every thing the players are hearing. If you think they can't, then your completely just playin'. The players have helmets on, the refs don't. If it happened, then it would have been called. Romo is crazy and he's lying to make himself look better. Maybe he's an alcoholic? That fits this pattern of behavior pretty well.

the rest of the stuff above and posted by the dallas fan, I don't necessarily disagree with.

you may now continue the trollin'

I never said telling guys where to go was being a poor leader. you are paraphrasing. I never said anything about the ol. screwing up and going to the bench would hurt himself... he obviously looks out for himself, so your shadow boxing there. And no, the skins were doing no such thing, it would have been called. period. wake up.

What a joke. You think the ref can hear everything going on at the line? Please, ever played football? I'm guess not, or it was pop warner where there is no crowd noise. The nose tackle can line up and bark out the cadence from less than a foot away so the Center can hear it and the ref wouldn't. And Romo saying that doesn't "make himself look better", if anything it makes Costa look better and not like an idiot who didn't know the snap count. No one has even tried to blame Romo for Costa snapping on the wrong count.

But what can I expect from someone who says, and I qoute, "If he can't tell the receivers where to go, or they can't understand him, then how is it their fault." I'm pretty freaking sure that it is the WR's job and NOT the QB's job to know the playbook. If they don't and he gives them a quick reminder, then how is that Romo doing anything wrong? Helping his teammates who are new...and you are faulting him for that? Silly

 

[DanBengalfan]

It is completely ridiculous for him to accuse an NFL defense of cheating in this manner.

It is childish.

If you can't see that, then your blind, and there is no talking with you.

 

[flamingrey]

Show me where he said they "cheated".

Receiver. Wrong route.

Unless someone has the guy on strings, if he's going left when he should be going right, or if he stops when he should have kept running, I'm pretty sure it's his fault.

If you want to argue Romo was throwing the ball in the wrong place, but the receiver was running the correct route, then do so. But there's no way in hell you would know that.

But continue on your nonsensical rants....

If you really believe a ref from 20 yards away can hear what the defense is yelling at the line, especially when 1) the players - as you said - have helmets on and it would be impossible for the ref from so far away to tell which helmet the noise was coming and 2) the refs wouldn't be able to differentiate between the defense changing plays or trying to mess with the offenses snap count, then you're lying to yourself.

But as I've already said, continue on...

 

[cincygrad]

Romo is an easy target for fans because 1) he's had high-profile blunders, and 2) because he has been an easy mark for tabloids. From a stats standpoint, he has been a very good quarterback.

 

[vancelot23]

Show me where he said they "cheated".

Here's the quote:

“We’ve got to get the snap thing worked out,” Romo said. “Costa said the D-line kept calling out the snap count. We’ll get that worked out. We’ll tell the league and see if that’s something that can be fixed because you’re not supposed to be able to do that. So we’ll see. But we can’t have that happen. We shouldn’t have been in that situation.”

Doesn't use the word cheated, but that's the implication.
