Without beating it do death, I think this could be Dallas' last shot at a playoff in a long time. Key players are getting older, and I don't see world beaters coming to replace them anytime soon. Replacing what Ware, Spencer, and Ratliff *used* to bring back when Dallas was a legit playoff team will be very hard as every team is looking for pass rushers and many strike out. Get ready for some Kakiva Pittman's and Shante Carver's along the way. Even with a top front office, It would take multiple drafts to re-stock the pass rush. Then you have to develop the players. Dallas has been fortunate to have Romo available for every game, but as he ages that will become less likely if he continues to take as many hits as he takes. His arm strength--never tremendous to begin with--could become more of an issue. Witten is still good, but he will decline. I think they're in that late-90's stage where you should enjoy whatever success they get because there may be a while before you see it again. I certainly think they'll need a lot of luck personnel-wise to get to the playoffs again next season.
