i believe this team will go to the SB is we stay healthy. Zeke may put up Murray type numbers, but I expect Romo to have his best season ever this year.

It all depends on Dez, Witten and whomever plays the 2 WR spot. 4500 yards passing is not unreasonable if we force 7 in the box at all times. No one can stop the passing game with only 4 in coverage. They can't stop the run with 7. Pick your poison.
 
Other than health I have few concerns about the offense.

IMO it's a SB-quality offense.

Defense is another story...

3 areas of major concern:

1. Somehow they need to get at minimum 40 sacks out of this defense.

2. They need to be better than average in the yards-given-up-per-attempt category.

3. They need to be within the top--20 in turnovers created.

Hit those marks with this offense and you have a solid SB contender.

If the defense falls flat you're probably looking at a 9-7 squad that doesn't get beyond its first playoff game.

You are forgetting the other side of the ball.

Ultimately the defense will determine how far we go in the playoffs not the offense.

If Dez and Romo can return to 2014 form I don't see a reason why not but I don't think this team is built to beat Arizona

Palmer is a statue. That fits right into our defenses strength.

Defense is not built to beat Arizona offense I think can go toe to toe

You probably are not alone, lad. I am reminded of the 40 or so cult members who believed a spaceship would arrive and take them to Nirvana. They filed in happily into the Ihop and seemed happy and joked with the servers. Then they went home and, unconsciously, awaited the spaceship.
 
Even if the offense is as good as it was in 2014 (7th ranked) I don't see us having the defense especially the pass rush to go deep in the playoffs. An offense can only cover up for their defense for so long before it catches up with you.

Yes we are great at not creating turnovers.

A lot of that has to do with our lack of a pass rush. That's one of the main reasons our corners had no INT's last season.
