...that explains a lot. that little option slant/hitch is one of the easiest reads in the NFL, but Romo still fucked it up royally.
Matthews was on the edge the entire pre-snap, so knowing he had no blockers and a free rusher in his passing lane, you'd think Romo would've stuck with the run. even after he deftly eluded Matthews and had space to make a throw, he doesn't set his feet and flings up a gimmie (aside from teleporting, Austin couldn't have done shit to save that pass). oh, and they just needed to run the ball anyway.
three dumbass decisions by the franchise quarterback in crunch time. Romo should wear this one as much as his clueless head coach.
