    Tony Romo threw some wretched passes in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Detroit Lions, but he wasn't the only Dallas Cowboy making bad decisions during the second half. Jason Garrett is the Cowboys' head coach, and he also calls the plays on offense. Once the Dallas lead swelled to 27-3 in the third quarter, logic dictated a more conservative approach that chewed the clock. But Garrett decided to keep slinging the football, and Romo made him regret it. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones didn't hide his disappointment with his team's play-calling Tuesday. "We needed to use clock with that kind of lead," Jones said, according to The Associated Press. "You can make the case that if you run the ball a few times and punt it, run the ball a few times and punt it, the stats show that you can't lose it."

    You hired the man, Jerry.

    This has happened since he became the OC and play-caller. Romo has blown games he shouldn't have been blowing.
