I don't want to get my hopes up too much but I really hope McC kills it this offseason, I'm sick of all the hatters.

I agree that we'll likely fall back down a bit, maybe to the point of 7-9 even, but as long as we keep trending in the right direction AND adding talent, I'll feel good about our plan. It was obvious that Romo going down was a GIGANTIC hit, and they're obviously not 4-12 bad, but to call them a title contender is ridiculous. Would they have beaten Seattle, Arizona, hell, even GB? Probably not. Romo and Dez give them the opportunity to beat a lot of mediocre teams. But hey, isn't that exactly what WE finally did this year?
