The 2007 team had 11 Pro Bowlers and 3 1st team All Pros. They were 13-3 and had a 5 game winning streak and a 7 games winning streak that season.
That was their year. That was the one they should have had. But with 15 seconds left in the divisional round on the Giant's 23 yard line Romo threw an INT into the endone and it was over....the most disappointing loss since the 1981 NFC championship and "the Catch".
They had a stout young 3-4 defense with both OLB's Pro bowlers. Three out of four DB's including both safeties were Pro Bowlers. Three offensive linemen in the Pro Bowl. A WR and the TE 1st team All Pros. Romo was a Pro Bowler. Started the season 5-0 and 12-1.
And they lost to the wildcard Giants who they had beaten twice in the regular season by double digits.
Over a hundred more in total yards. 13 more minutes in time of possession.
In the final four minutes the Cowboys on the Giant 41 down by 4 and Romo gets intentional grounding.
Penalties at all the wrong times. It was terrible.
But on paper this team had everything.
And the play before the 4th down end zone hail mary was the game winner if Crayton didn't fall asleep on a perfect TD pass.
