Assigning Blame for Major Dallas Cowboys Mistakes on Monday Night Football

happy reading

The terminal instance Tony Romo threw fivesome interceptions in a game, the grayness covering was that his metropolis Cowboys actually won, fighting the metropolis Bills 25-24 (and yes, that was also on weekday Night Football).

This time, the grayness covering wasn't as clear, but it did exist. Romo was nearly amend in the prototypal half, and at small half of his mistakes could be derived backwards to his peers. 

Again, I don't conceive that should attain Romo see some meliorate most an difficult expiration and what was ease a slummy action overall, but I conceive it's ease worth noting that it was a aggroup hardship against the metropolis Bears kinda than a Romo disaster.

Let's fortuity downbound figure key mistakes that killed the Cowboys choler on weekday Night Football.

 

Mistake No. 1

It's 0-0 in the prototypal lodge as both teams jockey for momentum. Romo makes a amend intercommunicate to Dez Bryant on a comeback route. Bryant gets change from physicist Tillman and has to attain this clutch on ordinal down. 

He drops it, and instead of having a prototypal downbound in metropolis territory, the Cowboys are unnatural to punt. Who knows what that intend would hit led to?

Who's at fault? Bryant

 

Mistake No. 2

Romo had exclusive quaternary half passes in the prototypal half, but this was a biggie. It came on the intend after the digit that was stale by Dez's prototypal drop. This time, Bryant has a travel on the programme and is in function to reason on 3rd-and-4. 

But Romo overthrows him. 

Who knows if Bryant would hit caught it, but that's heptad forfeited points on Romo. The Cowboys had to boot again, and metropolis would unstoppered the scoring on the ensuing drive.

Who's at fault? Romo

 

Mistake No. 3

Another ordinal down, and this time, Bryant gets physicist Tillman to ache hornlike on a hitch'n'go.

The difficulty is that Romo is low the notion it's questionable to be a ultimate hitch.

Oops! Pick six. 

The cushy hypothesis was that Bryant screwed up his distinction here, imperfectness to modify to the hitch. But it strength be a lowercase more complicated than that. 

"It was same a press-man and went to a zone," Bryant said after the game, per the Fort designer Star-Telegram. "If he pressed up, I was questionable to convert. If he hardback off, I was questionable to ready it feat ... He prefabricated a enthusiastic play. There's rattling no excuses."

If that was indeed the case, then this strength not be totally on Bryant. Tillman actually did backwards soured at the snap...

But it was ease Negro coverage, and Tillman taste and then feature Romo the rest of the way. As he taste to move the gait route, Romo was already emotional the ball. 

It's thickened to entertainer conclusions when we don't undergo the full story, but it trusty appears to me as though Tillman overturned a intense endeavor into a beatific one, patch Bryant unsuccessful to feature the programme properly. 

Who's at fault? Bryant, but it's not clear-cut.

 

Mistake No. 4

Dallas is downbound 10, but in the metropolis flushed regularize in the ordinal quarter, Romo throws a amend transfer on ordinal downbound to Kevin Ogletree. It hits Ogletree in the hands, but he fails to vantage it in and ends up deflecting it into the expose to a inactivity Bears defender. 

Who's at fault? Ogletree

 

Mistake No. 5

Two transactions later, the Cowboys would intend the ball backwards at the metropolis 27-yard line, ease with a quantity to displace the momentum. But on prototypal down, Romo turns it over again. The Bears don't manoeuvre on this play, but correct protect Mackenzy Bernadeau ease gets submissive by speechmaker Melton.

He's already collapsed the incurvature digit ordinal after the snap...

And Melton's healthy to administer sufficiency push to either a) stop Romo's transfer to Jason Witten or b) obligate Romo to attain a dopy decision. Actually, both A and B are possible. And if B is participating at all, this isn't completely on Bernadeau. 

I'm actually chalking this up as a enthusiastic antitank endeavor from Melton compounded with intense transfer endorsement from Bernadeau. It's country in this effort that Romo, who's streaming for his chronicle and disagreeable to ready his aggroup in the game, has Witten...

But Melton knocks the ball toward Lance Briggs, who intercepts the transfer and takes it to the concern for added antitank touchdown. The flushed distinction is where Romo was disagreeable to go with it, and the black distinction is what happened when Melton prefabricated contact...

Who's at fault? Bernadeau

 

Mistake No. 6

Dallas is downbound 17 today and can't give some more errors. They intend unfathomable into metropolis territory, and Bryant has this Romo transfer in his safekeeping on ordinal down. If he catches it, the intend keeps going.

But he drops it and they resolve for a earth goal. Still downbound 14.

Who's at fault? Bryant

 

Mistake No. 7

The Cowboys are on their terminal handicap downbound 17 in the ordinal quarter. Romo has Bryant unstoppered downbound the correct line for what could be a touchdown to intend metropolis backwards into the game.

And he drops added one...

Not trusty Romo could hit tangled it more perfectly.

Who's at fault? Bryant

 

Mistake No. 8

What's rattling thickened most that modify is that the incoming nonachievement wouldn't hit happened if not for that one. Regardless, Romo makes a intense intercommunicate to Miles Austin on 2nd-and-long and is intercepted by D.J. Moore.

Who's at fault? Romo

 

Mistake No. 9

The test Romo garner has the small effect because the game's already discover of accomplish with the Cowboys downbound 24 and meet a some transactions mitt on the clock. Anyway, Romo only underthrows Ogletree on a transfer that gets revilement soured by Major Wright.

In his defense, he was disagreeable to attain something hap downbound big. But it's ease his miscue. 

Who's at fault? Romo

 

Interestingly, the threesome mistakes Romo prefabricated were arguably the small expensive of them all, with Bryant's modify in the prototypal lodge in the intermixture as well. Bryant prefabricated threesome Brobdingnagian mistakes, patch Ogletree and Bernadeau apiece had screwups that outlay the Cowboys points. 

It's impracticable to verify how such an an effect those errors had on the game, but I'm sporting that if those fivesome plays don't deform that way, Romo doesn't intercommunicate those New picks and this mettlesome is a nail-biter kinda than a blowout. 

As I expressed weekday night, the disagreement in this mettlesome was that the Cowboys lacked focus. But pore isn't needs an cushy abstract to meliorate on the run. If Romo loses consortium in his opprobrious teammates, this aggroup module break and burn. Thus farther in 2012, they've presented him lowercase reason to hit faith.
