Cowboys Mailbag:Where do the Cowboys go and what becomes of the season after the disappointing loss

The defense is seemingly playing better and better every week. What's been the reason for such success with a patchwork unit missing multiple starters and key reserves?

What's on your Christmas wish list for the Cowboys? Both for these last two games and the offseason ahead?

It sure is fun to watch these Cowboys finish the season strong. Could it be that playing loose and free, more like when they were kids, is just as effective as buckling down for a championship run?

What Cowboys players, past or present, do you think kind of fall into this category as great players who never really got their due?

Is it my imagination or has the red-zone offense been better here recently? Any reason for that? What can they still do better?

It seems like Osa Odighizuwa is finally getting some recognition with Greg Olsen calling him one of the best defensive tackles in the game during last Sunday's broadcast. In what areas has he improved this season?

Do you think we are having more success with the run game simply because we are facing lower quality opponents? 

What would you like to see the Cowboys accomplish over these last four games? With an eye toward next season, are there any questions you think need to be answered?

For all the excitement and big plays the Cowboys' special teams have provided this season, I feel like there have been just as many bad ones. Why is that? 

At this point, Dowdle must be wondering what else he has to do to get the ball. Why won't the Cowboys stick with the run even in close games?

Seeing as how the Bengals have one of the best wide receiver combos in the NFL, how would you try to stop them?

The Cowboys defense has now totaled nine turnovers in their last five games. What happened? Did their approach change in any way? Can they keep this going against Joe Burrow and the Bengals?
