Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is getting a lot of criticism for throwing consecutive passes to fourth receiver Sam Hurd against Denver standout cornerback Champ Bailey on third and fourth down to end the game in Sunday's 17-10 loss.

Is is possible that Romo didn't know it was fourth down?

Following the final incomplete pass to end the Cowboys hopes, a video caught on KDFW Fox-4 shows Romo seemingly telling his linemen to line back up. He then flashes three fingers to one of the game officials.

After hearing the response, Romo screams and walks off field.

If true, Romo apparently forgot about the spike to stop the clock on second down.

For all the criticism about McNabb for not knowing it's overtime, there should as hell should be even more criticism for Romo not knowing what down it was on the deciding play.

If this is true, he's starting to remind me of Drew Bledsoe.

This has to be quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever read.

Funny... not a whisper of this on ESPN... AKA the Dallas and New England Network...

Not sure who wins the dumb Pro Bowl QB move of the decade, between Romo not knowing it was 4th down, adn McNabb not knowing the overtime rules...

it's a tie

[Mr. Scot]

Can't agree. I'd have to vote the "Dunce" cap onto Romo for this contest.

McNabb not knowing the tie rule ultimately had no effect on the outcome of the game. Yeah, it made him look like a doofus postgame, but they didn't lose because of it.

Romo's screwup is game affecting. And thus, he wins.
