Up until the NO game Dallas had one of the top D's in the league (ranked 4th going into that game)Then NO had a way to exploit our D that was missing Ellis, and doesnt rush ILBs or DL (god I hope that changes). After that game we couldnt get teams off the field. NO had the ball 22 minutes in the first half, and I think Philly was about the same as well. Romo is not a Peyton Manning were he can can score 21 points in a half when only having the ball 8 minutes. In those games it looked like he was pressing alot more.

Im not trying to put any of Romo's blame on others per-say. Im saying that he isnt good enough YET to be able to carry a team. IMO if we make the right hire at DC our D could be scary. And then I think you will see more of the Romo you saw in the Colts game, and less of the Romo from the Sheagles game
