I think you figured it out lol

Edit: I was curious too
A "white elephant" is a troublesome or costly possession that's hard to get rid of. A "pink elephant" is something that people are said to see quite often when they're drunk. It's a drunken hallucination.
Or maybe I'm just having a little fun and people with a stick up their butt read to much into it.

they are what they are. all hype. I don't think they are one tough guy on the team. maybe a killer who's scared to take credit for his first kill, but nobody else. can anyone name one bad tough guy on the team?
Zac Martin....Tank...Schultz....and a few others that you wouldn't mess with in a bar....

I support Dak, Jerry, Zeke etc...I've always been a company guy and don't like the attacks...I have no problem with well thought out criticism....that said, we have some glowing issues that concern me...Jerry's infatuation with OBJ....shut up and sign him or move on....Dak trying to live up to his contract, he hears the noise and it has affected his play....Michach needs to let the media go and do his talking on the field. MM needs to man up and take control of his team. Quinn needs to be more fundamentally sound and stop trying to rack up stats..on a positive, I'm very impressed with the relationship that Zeke and Pollard have...I give Zeke props for being a mentor. He's made his money and has swallowed his pride. I hope he takes a paycut and we can keep them both next year.
Salud! Go Cowboys!

Good post! :clap:

He should, but he's playing to tight....needs to block out the noise and just play football.
The OL, WRs, and other factors in the pass game need to ALL do the same. Some bad luck this season on tipped passes, OL bottom 5 win rate% in pass rush etc , receivers not on the same page, and dropped tds and passes etc ..i mean it at times is OFF as unit but IMHO i like the extra aggression and can live with it as long as the total offense is scoring and winning..Team is winning 10-3..im not concerned.

I'd like to see Jerry walk away from OBJ. For one thing, our offense is plenty good without him. Another thing is the team is really a tight unit and he could upset the chemistry. I'm really concerned that his presence will influence Moore and Dak to go back to throwing 40+ times a game. We know that's not our recipe for success.

I want to see what TJ Hilton's impact is over that last 4 games. Then revisit OBJ and his health if need be.

Agree 100% with your statement, “MM needs to man up and take control of his team.” This team needs discipline, focus and toughness in order to make a deep playoff run. Big Mac has done a very good job overall this year. Now is the time to bring this team to total focus.
In the playoffs, if we have to play the 49ers, I don't want to see that scared look on any Cowboy players' face or hear our coach PUBLICLY ADMIT his team "was nervous to start the game."

It was absolutely embarrassing, and if Mike McCarthy is worth his weight as a head coach, it shouldn't happen again.

The 49ers punked us like Thanos punked Hulk. Hopefully, our script ends better than the doofuses at MCU who decided to give us Professor Hulk instead of Savage Hulk kicking Thanos' behind in the Avengers: Endgame - the ending Hulk fans wanted to see.

good or Bad

the FO has went out and got some bodies late in season with 10 wins already, they typically do not do that and im giving them credit for the effort.

BTW i believe TS77 back and Washington will get more comfy each game will all have impact for this final push.

Some players talk a lot, some talk little... had zero to do with on field performance.

How do you know daks play has been impacted by the talk? If it has, he isn't the man for the job in Dallas.

LOL..........you dont support Dak, you have been a Dak hater since the beginning. You were one of the original Romo whiners when he lost his job.

Your one comment is more proof of that.

You made a completely out of left field comment about Dak stressing about his contract.

ZERO evidence to support that and you intimate that its affecting his play. You mean the guy that is leading the #1 offense in the NFL since returning from his injury? The guy whos team is 6-1 since his injury? The guy that lead us down the field in a minute to give us the win last week?

If your going to critique at least get your facts straight.

Ranching, I really respect you being objective and pointing out real concerns with the team.
Quite a few posters here swing to one extreme or the other.
You don't have to be a homer or hater, just take a balanced view of the team.

of course you’d say that you’re a ranching homer
