Around the NFL Week 5

[MTK]

Romo forced the throw into traffic with a wide open checkdown guy sitting right there in front of his face. I don't know how it can be seen as anything other than a mistake on his part.

Exactly. Murray would have gotten a solid 8-10 yards at least on that play. They had about 2 minutes to go down and score--didn't have to be a TD, and Romo threw it to a guy 20 yards downfield trying to get downfield quicker. Stupid. You take what the defense gives you. It's what Brady manning Rodgers and Brees do all the time. You go underneath until the defense tries to take it away, which is then when you go over top and get the huge yards then. Patience. Those QBs have it. Romo doesn't.

We'll agree to disagree. The player was open when the ball was released. That's just a spectacular play by the defender. Nine out of ten times that pass is caught by Escobar. In hindsight, sure the RB should have been the guy he went to. Sometimes, you can do the right thing and the opposing player just makes a better play. Point in instance is the TD catch over Claiborne. Dude had fantastic coverage on the WR, and simply couldn't play it any better. Another one is Sherman's interception of Kaep.

If RGIII had done this, nobody would be saying a peep about it.

To me the better choice was the easier throw, which was his checkdown. Especially considering the situation there was just no need for him to take an unnecessary risk and throw into a tight window.

If RGIII did the same thing I might be inclined to give him a pass since he doesn't have nearly the same experience that Romo does at this point.

Well Romo's past makes this an even bigger deal. Just like how Matt Schaub is going to be haunted by his multiple pick-6s.
