The guys digest the Cowboys fifth consecutive loss of the season, talking about the failed fake punt, taking the field goal off the board, how close the stats in this game really were, and inability of a defense playing fairly well to be consistent and the number of injuries the Cowboys sustained.

It's time to end this four-game losing streak, and after Everson finishes going through his sponsorship swag, the guys get down to brass tacks with injury updates, what's up with the Texans, Bill's walk through history and the Friday picks and picks to click

Starting with some injury updates, left tackle, then digressed into memories of Everson's Super Bowl 25 victory and a walk down memory lane of the Cowboys 1990 season when they turned a 3-7 start into a 7-7 record before losing the final two games without the injured Troy Aikman. And Mingo talk.

Nothing more the Cowboys can do about the loss to the Eagles but learn, so time to turn the page, and be interesting to see what happens at the left tackle position and also left cornerback. Time to find out about Jonathan Mingo and an updated injury report.

With Nate filling in for Everson, great debate on the Cowboys needing to run the ball more against the Niners, the amount of pressure defenses are on putting on Dak, the Cowboys inability to stop the run and just why Trevon Diggs likely was on his phone immediately after the loss to San Francisco.

So much to talk about, but no matter what else happened in the loss to San Francisco, the poor play in the third quarter was the difference in the game. In fact, at 30-24 and the Cowboys with the ball, the guys tase Everson that he might have needed to meet the charter flight back home if the Cowboys produced their own "Catch" to win the game.
