how can this keep happening. Romo is a good QB. Our D held him in check for the most part of the day. They scored that early TD and they had several possessions where they didn't do anything. You can't keep him under wraps all game. Fact is Gano missed two field goals that would have won the game. TWO FIELD GOALS. Yes, one was 52 but the other was 40something... That should be virtually automatic for NFL kickers if they are halfway decent.

While 52 and 49 yard FG aren't gimmes, I agree that he needs to hit those. If one of his strengths is his leg and long distance range, he needs to be consistent from there. I'd rather have a guy who is a lock from inside 50 with limited distance than a scattershot leg like Gano all over the field with power from 59.

To quote Rich Eisen, you can't spell Gano without Gah-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
