It definitely sucks. But at least this year, the Cowboys are working towards being a running, physical team. Percentage wise, that works better for the latter part of the season. Traditionally, playing NFC East road games in December hasn't bode well for a pass-happy Romo with a below average OL and lack of commitment to the running game. It's been a disaster, actually. So, at least philosophically the Cowboys are going about it the right way.
At the same time, I also believe that Jerruh is cursed and that the hype he manages to create is also the ultimate downfall of this team. So far, every team he has tried to put together on his own post-Jimmy Johnson ended up cracking under the pressure. Like I said before, I don't think the 2014 Cowboys have the depth on defense nor the pass rush (even if the potential is there). Eventually it will catch up. And then by the time they get around to acquiring more talent on defense, Romo and Witten won't be good enough anymore. At least that's the way I see it.
