A lot of things determine if a team is successful. Luck plays a big part. Look at the 2011 Giants....lucked their way into winning the Super Bowl. Dallas wasnt just very lucky in 2011. Lost the top running back to a broken ankle and the top receiver to constant hamstring injuries. So Romo was pretty much limited in what he could do. 2012 looks to be a better year for the Cowboys. No lockout and a full year of learning the new coaches system.
Prior to 1960, I was a Giants/Steelers fan......hated the Browns/Packers/Redskins..........still feel the same way. But when Dallas got a franchise in 1960.........well I became a Cowboys fan. I still pull for the Giants/Packers......except when they play the Boys.
JJ is first a businessman.......currently the Cowboys are the 2nd most valued sports franchise......first is Manchester United Soccer team in England.......$1.86 billion to $1.81 billion......Manchester United, btw, is owned by the same family that owns the Tampa Bay Bucks......All 32 NFL teams are ranked in the top 50 most valueable sports franchises in the world. Steelers are only ranked at 23rd most valuable in the world.

Agree with the above concerning Romo...he is FAR from the top of the problem list...inconsistent OL play, inconsistent RB play (especially after D Murray went down) AND Romo is STILL one of the top four QBs in the game.
IMHO, people have NEVER gotten over the Seattle muffed FG....And yes, I fully realize that Romo has made some other mistakes since, and yes a couple have come in last few minutes of games...There are at least half of the NFL teams that would like to have Romo...With improved line play and the improved running game that should provide, Romo is plenty talented enough to lead to playoffs...Defense should be improved this year too....
Finally, I would call the NYGiants out for getting Hot at exact right time, NOT
"lucking their way to a Super Bowl"....
