There is no team in the NFL today that has more pressure to win on an annual basis than the Dallas Cowboys. No matter how talented the team may be heading into the NFL regular season, flamboyant owner Jerry Jones always expects his team to fight through adversity and become one of the best teams in the NFC Conference.
Unfortunately, despite having the money to get their hands on big-name players around the league just like the New York Yankees in the MLB, the Dallas Cowboys don’t always come out on top and have struggled to get back to elite status in the NFL.

Last season the Dallas Cowboys were finally able to do something they haven’t done since the mid 90s by winning their first playoff game against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles, but they were quickly put back in their place in the next round of the postseason by Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.
Even though Tony Romo and company were able to absolutely destroy Philadelphia Eagles in the first round, the Minnesota Vikings defense just dominated the Dallas Cowboys offensive line and had Tony Romo running for his life on every single play.
So despite the Dallas Cowboys finally winning a playoff game and securing the jobs of both quarterback Tony Romo and head coach Wade Phillips, Jerry Jones still didn’t seem content with his team’s performance as it was obvious against the Vikings that the Cowboys still had some work to do in order to compete with the best of the best in the NFL.

Heading into the NFL offseason, the Dallas Cowboys tried to address their problems by working on protecting their quarterback and giving him one more target downfield in the form of controversial rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant out of Oklahoma State.
Even though Bryant was somewhat of a problem child in college as he was suspended for the majority of last season at Oklahoma State, his skills are undeniable as he could very well become the number one option in the Cowboys’ offense in the near future.
In the meantime, the Dallas Cowboys will come into the 2010-2011 NFL season will arguably one of the most potent offenses in the NFL with perennial Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo under center, wide receivers Miles Austin, Roy Williams and Dez Bryant downfield and one of the best tight ends in the game in Jason Witten.
Not only will the Cowboys air attack be amongst the best in the league, but they will bring a solid ground game to the equation with running backs Felix Jones and Marion Barber coming out of the backfield. Along with their potent offense, the Dallas Cowboys will also have an elite defense to maintain leads led by four-time Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus
Ware.
Needless to say, the Dallas Cowboys seem poised to make a run at the Super Bowl this season and if they can reach the big game in February, they will be the first time in NFL history to play a Super Bowl on their home field as they will be hosting the Super Bowl at Cowboys Stadium.
