Dallas Cowboys
2013 Season: 8-8
In Jason Garrett's 3rd and critical season, the Cowboys had the 6th most TD's scored in the league last season and dead last on defense allowing 415 yards per game. They dueled with the Broncos and loss 51-48. This game defined their season last year.
Tony Romo threw for 506 yards and 5 td's, they ran 14 rushing plays for 52 yards, gave up over 400 passing yards, and 103 rushing yards. Romo had 31:10 td to int ratio, which is not bad for him, but the defense stunk up the league. They also strayed away from the run in crucial situations for example when they played the Packers having the game all but lost then literally threw the game away instead of running out time on the clock. They finished 5-1 in a bad division and had a chance to seal up a playoff spot with a win at home against Philly but lost 22-24. For the 3rd year in a row they lost the last game of the season.
Key Additions: Rolando Mcclain
Key Losses: Demarcus Ware, Miles Austin, Sean Lee (ACL)
Fantasy Players to watch for: Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Demarco Murray
2014 season outlook: Things looking really hazy down in Dallas. Tony Romo had off season back surgery. His health will be of uncertainty every time he steps on the field. They went out and signed Brandon Weeden for security of some sorts. LT Tyron Smith will play a pivotal role by protecting Romo's blind side and RT Doug Free have to be major as well. Dez Bryant had a pretty good year with 93 catches for 1,233 yards. After all said and done the Cowboys will need to RUN the BALL! DeMarco Murray averaged 5.2 yards per carry, 1,121 yards, 9 TD's and 53 receptions in 14 games. Jason Witten who has missed only 2 games since 2004 grabbed 73 receptions for 8 touchdowns will be key in being a dual threat for blocking and catching. 
Losing the best player on the defensive side doesn't seem to help their cause at all. The defense will be horrible again this season. Losing Ware and now recently losing Sean Lee for the season spells trouble. They will need to play lights out on offense to have a chance in this league but defense will lose a lot of games. 5-11
