To be fair he apparently made a audible on the line to throw the last interception instead of running it, so yeah, that's on him.

No he didn't it was a read play. He had the option on the play between handing it off or pulling it out and passing it. Seeing where Clay Matthews was on that play, he pulled it out. At that point it was a good decision, if he had given it to Murray it would have been a loss of 4. A loss of 4 is preferrable to a pick but I think we can all agree Romo did not CHOOSE to throw a pick.

Romo should be smarter than to call a read pass in that situation.

Romo did not call the play. it was not an audible. it was a read. the first option on that play is run, the second is pass. he chose pass given that Clay Matthews was RIGHT THERE

My point is that the expected value in the read is not worth calling off the run at the line.

He didn't call off the run at the line, its like a read option except instead of taking off running he throws the ball. It was a designed read play from the time it was called until the time the ball was thrown

It probably had something to do with the two interceptions he threw in the last five minutes of the game.

I mean Romo's not blameless, but that loss was from a coaching meltdown, not a Romo one.

I think it's the other way around. Bad decision making ruins games, but two interceptions in that amount of time and under those circumstances is inexcusable from an NFL quarterback, especially one as prolific as Romo. It also doesn't help that this is far from the first time he's choked like this. You can blame the decision making all you want, and it was horrendous, but I still think Romo is to blame for that loss.

No kidding. After all the Vikings did to help the Cowboys on Sunday, you'd think they could manage to NOT lose that game... >:( But I guess the next best thing to the Packers missing the playoffs would be for them to get destroyed by Carolina/New Orleans/San Francisco in the first round.
