Well..... he is the reason we lostbut like you and that other guy said the only reason Dallas is in the game is due to Romo but we also still lost because of him.

Alright, I need to turn the tables around to help you understand.

Suppose Dallas trails 9-3 in a game late in the fourth quarter. With the clock running out, Romo throws a touchdown pass and the Cowboys win 9-10. He also threw four interceptions on that day, two of them put the opponents into field goal range. He also lost a fumble that led to another field goal for the other team. Now the question: Who won the game for Dallas?

I'd say the Defense won that game since with that many turn-overs they only manged 9 points. 

And that, my friend, is a double standard.

1. What happened today is that Romo made one mistake while the defense did let the team down. You blame Romo for the loss, because his one mistake led to the game-winning field goal for Denver.

2. In my fictional scenario, Romo did only one good thing while the defense kept the team in the game. You don't give Romo credit for the win, even though his one good action put his team ahead of their opponents in the final seconds of the game.

I get that, it's a team sport after all and I guess I shouldn't put all the blame on Romo but looking back at the game it would of been nice to see Ware or someone on that defense to make a clutch play. Ware didn't even get a sack in that game which doesn't make sense for supposedly one of the best pass-rushers in the league.
