Once again, the Cowboys look to be one of the favorites to win the NFC and go to the SB and win it all coming into the 2010-2011 season. The question is, can they get past the embarrassment of the NFC playoff loss the Cowboys endured last year versus the Vikings? I do think Dallas can go deep into the playoffs as they have not lost anyone of any importance other than possibly OL Flozell Adams, but he was one of the main reasons why the Vikings dominated the Cowboys. The Cowboys will need their offensive line to stay intact and improve their pass blocking, otherwise the debacle versus Minnesota where Tony Romo couldn’t even inhale without getting smacking in the mouth by a purple jersey.
The offense for the Cowboys will surely be one of the best in the NFL, with the addition of 1st round draft pick Dez Bryant, whom has been getting rave reviews out of OTAs comign into training camp. The RB core is tops in the NFL, with every RB being able to nab a starting spot on most teams. Tashard Choice, Marion Barber, and Felix Jones will be the proverbial three-headed monster to go along with the 4-headed monster that is Austin, Williams, Bryant, and Witten. Of course, the key to the offense’s ability to work like a well=oiled machine is Tony Romo. He quieted critics with his tremendous quarterback play in November and December of last season, something he had failed to do so in the past. With the emergence of Austin as a possible top WR in the NFL, the Cowboys’ offense sure looks to be unstoppable in both the NFL and Madden.
The defense is somewhat improved, with rookie Sean Lee joining the LB corps, and Pat Watkins taking over for the recently cut Ken Hamlin, or the second year man whose name I cannot recall right now (something like Answah-Omashu?). DeMarcus Ware is the main player of the entire defense, and what he does on the field directly impacts whether the Cowboys play great defense or not. The CB tandem of Terrance Newman and Mike Jenkins is a solid one, as Jenkins collected his 1st Pro Bowl last season, and Newman is a seasoned veteran at cornerback. The defense will need to continue creating havoc on opposing QBs and helping the Cowboys get as many possessions as possible to win games.
Prediction – The Dallas Cowboys have a target on their back, and the NFC East division isn’t an easy division to win as always. Tony Romo will have to continue his stellar season from last year into this year for the Cowboys to even have a chance.
12-4 1st place in NFC East

The Cowboys are always favorites because of all the bandwagon fans that ESPN and the NFL Network need to suck off for good ratings…
WOW! 2ton you made the BOYZ sound like their the best team in the league but theres a few things i can point out that is gonna hurt the BOYZ this season but I’m not gonna do that.
As for Flozell Adams he owned Jared Allen in the playoffs until he got hurt then thats when the rest of the o-line stared to fall apart.
Oh! and Mike Jenkins got burned by Sidney Rice in the playoffs so their CB’s ain’t that solid as you made them seem.
