Cowboys StoryLine: Defining Failure

Whether or not the Cowboys can make the playoffs, defining success and failure in Brian Schottenheimer's first season is up for debate … and it was definitely debated.

With four games to play, some might say there's plenty of season to be played but when it comes to making changes to the coaching staff and personnel, is it too late for all of that?

As we return from a much-needed break, the fans want to know what's up with special teams and why it hasn't been so special this year.

The Cowboys went to Motown on a roll but hit a huge bump in the road, leaving us all to wonder just what this loss means for the rest of the season with four games to play.

What a turnaround we've seen - not just with the Cowboys winning three straight games but the change in Matt Eberflus' perception. The DC has his players flying to the ball and the fans have noticed.

With the Cowboys on a 3-game winning streak and the Eagles now losing two straight, the NFC playoff picture not only has the Cowboys in the hunt but winning the division might be the best path.

In the final show of the week, the callers not only celebrated Thanksgiving Eve, but have some newfound confidence with Mahomes and the Chiefs coming to town.

All season long, the Cowboys have had to overcompensate for a struggling defense but are we now at the point where Brian Schottenheimer can start trusting the defense more?

The Cowboys have been everyone else's get-right-game this season so leave it to the Eagles to provide that type of bounce back for the Cowboys, who had their best win of the season in comeback fashion.

As we approach Thanksgiving, the Eagles present a mighty challenge on Sunday that begins quite a festive group of games that will tell us a lot about these Cowboys in the next few weeks.

We know the Eagles are going to Tush Push their way to the goal line but have the Cowboys added enough muscle up front to push back?

The callers couldn't be more excited about the addition of Quinnen Williams, who hasn't just helped the defense overnight but seems to be a fixture in the middle for the future, too.

The Cowboys had a huge win Monday night and George Pickens was one of the stars, prompting the question on if and when he's gonna get a new contract. Because it's clear, the Cowboys need him and his energy to succeed.

It's been a long week full of various topics - both on and off the field. The consensus among the callers suggest it's time to play football again and for the first time ever, the Cowboys will do that in Las Vegas.

As the Cowboys get ready to reveal a new-look defense against the Raiders, the callers want to know just who will start the game up front. Which four linemen will begin the game and just as important, which three linebackers?

Coming off the bye week, how different will this defense look against the Raiders? Whatever changes are made it seems to be much-needed for the Cowboys and their fading playoff hopes.

Another show where the callers show their unity for each other. We continue to grieve for Marshawn Kneeland and his family and friends while also remembering our vets on Veterans Day.

The show was undoubtedly difficult as we remember the life of Marshawn Kneeland with some of the callers sharing their own experiences and perspective.

The callers were super excited about the Quinnen Williams trade but does it help more for this year, the future or perhaps both?

After another loss where the defense struggled, and the offense wasn't much better, the Cowboys made at least one trade. Is it too late for this season?

On this Halloween edition of the show, it's also the last show before the Cardinals game so it's time to pick the game. Will the Cowboys keep up their home success or does Kyler Murray run wild?

The Cowboys have had depth issues all season, begging the question if a new offseason strategy should be used, not only with free agency but the draft process.

The head coach has promised there will be changes on the way so what could they be? Let's speculate what kind of change might occur this season.

The NFL trade deadline is looming. Until it passes, the fans will likely be split if the Cowboys should indeed make a move or pass and just keep all of their draft picks for next year.

After yet another dismal showing in Denver, a place the Cowboys just can't seem to get a win, it's leaving the callers and host with more questions and very few answers to fix this 3-4-1 team.
