Cowboys StoryLine: What's the Missing Piece?

Sure, the defense has been the problem for a while but lately the offense is lagging, too. So what's the problem there? We've identified a position that clearly isn't getting the job done.

The buzzword for this show was "identity" and if the Cowboys have one, do they need one, and how can they find it? Opinions varied on the subject but everyone seems to agree that playing better and winning games would certainly help this team's identity.

There's still 11 games left on the schedule so we've got plenty of times to fix the issues. The callers are tying to figure it out and came up with their own solutions, which includes running the call, moving Pickens around and more.

The blame game has too many options to pick just one but if you're talking about the offense, do the issues start with the play-calling, the quarterback or a combination of both?

Winning at Lambeau Field has been a challenge for the Cowboys over the years. Playing well on defense has been a challenge here recently. To win Sunday night, the Cowboys must change both narratives.

When the Cowboys take the field Sunday night at Lambeau, who do you want to see first? Want the offense to get off to an early lead or should we just start off with the defense to see what these changes will do?

We've seen the changes made with the coaching staff and now the focus shifts back to the players. One caller asked just how close the Cowboys are to turning this around and if they still need one or two players or still a big overhaul?

The Cowboys have given Christian Parker some help with a senior defensive assistant. Will this move be good enough to make the changes needed for this Cowboys defense?

The Cowboys have some extra time to make some adjustments but what is going to be different? While there is some outside talk of making some coaching staff changes on defense, the consensus seems to be that Christian Parker and his staff just needs more time.

As disappointing as Thursday's loss was to watch, the fan base was still reeling the next day, trying to figure out what went wrong and more importantly, where to go from here.

The Cowboys have no interceptions and just four sacks this year on defense, with an offense that has had some slow starts. Thursday's game with Tampa would be a great time to "buc" those trends.

The Cowboys have no other choice but to move on quickly with the short week. With another winless opponent coming to town, will the Cowboys have the same focus and intensity?

What a difference a week makes. Not only did we all get more sleep, but waking up to a win always make a for a fun day. The negative talk is limited on this day as we focus on the positive moments stemming from the win.

The Cowboys go down to Houston to face a desperate winless team but can they match the urgency, especially after the big trade for Joey Porter Jr. this week?

Good morning Cowboys fans, who woke up Thursday to the news of a trade for JPJ. The callers are ecstatic about Porter and now the question is - will he play Sunday?

It's time to move on after the tough loss in Rio. The focus shifts to Houston, where the Cowboys will face a desperate team. Will they match their desperation?

Even the head coach himself said he didn't have a great game calling the plays in Rio. So what needs to change on that side of the ball as they get ready for Houston?

One day later, the heartbreaking loss still stings for Cowboys fans, who not only have concerns but found some positives in the loss to the Ravens.

As the Cowboys get ready to head to Brazil and play in one of the most historic soccer stadiums ever, the talk is still centered around the field, or pitch, and how it might affect the style of game this Sunday.

As the Cowboys get ready to go to Brazil, the focus isn't just the different country but also the playing conditions and how the field might help or hurt the Cowboys against the Ravens.

We can now officially set our sights to this week's trip to Brazil as we turn to a familiar voice to catch us up to speed on the Ravens.

No matter what happened Sunday, the Cowboys have their issues on both sides of the ball, but winning trumps everything and so the callers seem overjoyed to be 1-1 headed to Brazil this week.

The Cowboys find themselves in a situation where they can't afford to drop another division game. So how do they respond in their home opener with the Commanders coming to town?

It seems a little early in the year for any team to have their backs against the wall, but with an 0-1 start and a daunting schedule awaiting them, this has a feel of a game the Cowboys "must" find a way to win.

The ups and downs of the season are already among us - especially the downward part after the first loss. But it's time get back on the horse and the callers are already figuring out how to knock off Washington.
