Cowboys StoryLine: Expectations vs. The Standard

With the Cowboys already at 3-7, the callers wonder who makes the call between playing the best players now vs. seeing younger guys with an eye towards next year.

In the final show of the week before Monday's game with Houston, can the Cowboys find a way to play their best game and win the battle of Texas?

Not that young players haven't already been in the lineup this year but at 3-6, is it time for the Cowboys to turn to even more young players in the lineup to get a better long-term evaluation?

The topic of "how to fan" has been discussed lately. Some callers still have hope, others are looking towards next year, but one thing is clear- there's no right or wrong direction.

Now that Dak is officially out for the season, should the Cowboys stick with Cooper Rush or switch to Trey Lance and see what he's got?

As expected, the fans expressed their disappointment in Sunday's game and had plenty of ideas how to make changes both for now and later.

The final show before Sunday's game provided a healthy combination of optimism and weather reports from coast to coast as fans are convincing themselves the Cowboys have a chance!

Well, it's easy to look ahead into the future, the callers were asked to stay in the moment and focus on ways the Cowboys can upset the Eagles this Sunday at AT&T Stadium.

The fans are certainly frustrated but haven't lost hope on the season or even the possibilities of upsetting the Eagles, who bring a familiar offensive coordinator.

The Cowboys have added a WR to the mix. The callers were also rather mixed in their thoughts on getting Jonathan Mingo.

The Cowboys are now 3-5 after losing three straight games. So what's next? Buy, sell or stand pat?

There seems to be some growing optimism the Cowboys will turn things around. What better time and place to start that than Sunday in Atlanta.

This Halloween edition saw a new-look to the set. Can the Cowboys give us a new look to the rest of the season?

How much does this offense need Dak Prescott to run? The callers think that could change the dynamic if QB1 gets on the run.

At 3-4, the Cowboys are already needing to play catchup in the standings but the upcoming schedule doesn't get any easier.

After a tough loss in San Francisco, the callers are wondering if Dak Prescott has regressed or does he need more help on offense?

The Cowboys have played this song before in San Francisco but they're gonna need to switch up the words this time if they want to get a win in the Bay Area.

So many questions whether the offense or defense will step up more in San Francisco. But to win, it's probably gonna need to be both.

The trade deadline is a couple of weeks away, promoting fans to wonder if the Cowboys are gonna add pieces, trade away players or none of the above.

So the 49ers might be missing some key players Sunday. The Cowboys can definitely relate. But the fans don't seem to care as long as Dallas can secure the W.

With the Cowboys coming off a bye week, there was plenty of football to discuss, including a college game that brought in a familiar face … and a jersey.

The frustration from fans and callers is evident but there is a belief there is enough quality players on board to get the job done.

Everyone seems to agree the offensive line needs to improve, but how? Should the Cowboys play Tyler Guyton at left tackle again, or maybe move him to the right?

Disappointment and frustration can't begin to describe the emotions of the callers as we try to figure out what happened Sunday and how this team moves forward.

The last show of the week means it's time to make a pick on Sunday's game. Do the Cowboys have enough to stop the rested Lions?
