Those 8-8 seasons were much more the fault of the defense than anything on the offensive side of the ball.
Heck, in 2013, even with one of the worst defenses the NFL has seen, Dallas would have likely made the playoffs had Romo not missed the final game in Philly. In fact, with Orton leading the team, they still almost beat the Eagles in Philly to make the playoffs.
Do you recall the GB in 2013 when Murray was averaging 8 yards per carry in the 1st half when we were up 23 points? Then Garrett ran the ball 7 more times total in the 2nd half? Aikman and Buck calling the game saying over and over again why Garrett isnt running the football? We wind up losing the game and Jerry blasts Garrett saying that we could have knelt down every time and won the game? Garrett being accountable and saying he should have ran the ball in the 2nd half? Then the GB player laughing after the game thanking Dallas for going away from the run? "Thats just what they do". This statement implies that its a league wide joke that the Cowboys can run the ball well, they just never stick with it.
That is the worst example, but there were plenty of others.
