2007 - We had a good defense and a rolling offense. Romo was balling, had a good connection with TO, Witten was in his prime, and we had a good defense anchored with DeMarcus Ware. My buddy worked for Coors distrubtion at the time and gave me this huge Coors Light Cowboys schedule poster. Each week I had a gold marker and I would write a W next to each matchup as the season progressed. I wrote a lot of Ws that season, and with each one I wrote down, my hype grew. I felt like we had a chance. Stoopid Mexico trip.
2009 - Again, I felt like we had a good defense and offense combo. We were rolling along pretty good that season. Playoffs came and we rolled the Eagles. Team looked like it was having fun out there and I didn't think old man Favre was going to be an issue for us in the next round. Yup, about that......
2014 - Things just seemed to be clicking. Our run game was dominating. Romo was playing incredible ball. We seemed to be getting some monkeys off our back beating teams we otherwise have struggled with (i.e. beating Seattle in Seattle). The defense, while not dominating or great, seemed to just be doing enough to keep us in games. We got another playoff win against a good Lions team. Things seemed great......until.......Rodgers.
Honorable Mention:
2016 - While I don't want to say I felt super great about a rookie taking us to the Super Bowl, one has to admit it was an intriguing year. We had some very impressive wins, some fantastic looking rookies, and we were rolling along through the season looking pretty stout. Making the playoffs with a first round bye was a plus, and, we can't possibly have another let down game against Rodgers.........right..........RIGHT? Wrong.
