If Romo is healthy all year they can get to 8.
I don't really think the defense got worse (Ware and Hatcher were shells of themselves after game 8ish), and outside of Carr and Church the rest of the defense was injured and they were playing sub replacement level players (due to injuries everywhere). So they may be lacking Ware but overall it's better players on that side than they had at the end of last season, plus Rod Marinelli instead of Kiffin as the DC is worth something.
The offense should be even better (again assuming Romo health) - they have have a ~top 3 offensive line now, plus they got rid of Miles Austin and that should open the door for more Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley passes.
It's a damn miracle they got to 8 wins last year with the defense they were trotting out games 7-16.

That's the only thing giving me any hope for the defense. Ware hasn't been Ware for most of the last 2 seasons, so letting him go wasn't really a loss. Same with Lee. Playing their corners who are best in man coverage actually in man coverage should help out a lot also. Kiffin really is incompetent, at least all Dal fans pray that was a big part of it. If they can just be "bad" then they have a shot at the terrible NFC East.
It seems like either SF or Sea will get the first Wildcard spot and the second will probably require 10-6 and some tiebreakers that I doubt Dal would have even if they managed the unlikely record. Of course nobody expected Hou and Ten to be so awful and Car and Ari to be so good last year so there's always people who assume that every year will be just like the last year and making their terrible picks

He should certainly start being higher on peoples list since hes done some things no other QB ever has. Not sure if he should be in that list though as I don't know enough about the old QBs.

Cowboy players are only good when they are healthy enough to play. Once they are injured they aren't important anymore. Remember, the Dallas backups would be starters on any other team!
They were missing Sean Lee for a lot of last season also, so didn't really seem relevant to mention him when assessing this year's defense. Out last year, out this year, same thing.

Just when I thought Britney couldn't look any worse.Aaron Rodgers cracks me up. This is what he and Matt Flynn wore to a team luncheon.
