Machota: Cowboys embarrassed at home - Zeke Elliott hurting offense, 9 other takeaways

[Cotton]

That is just a natural side effect of maturing.

Hell, he used to literally piss me off to the point where it affected real life.

Y'all could call me a cunt to my face right now, so what.

He had a special talent of calling out my intellectual vanity that would piss me off for hours.

He was a dick. There is no way to sugarcoat that shit.

 

[Cotton]

But it is still seen.

I used to laugh back in the day at the old Reality board, he'd ban politics. Or then just create a separate board.

It always spilled over.

Thing is...politics have grown into something bigger in the last four years.

Four years ago, it was never in your face 24/7.

People don't have to click on the political forums. They do so of their own volition.

And that does spill over. We have had posters here banned over politics, like Bipo.

If Bipo had kept the politics and trolling under control, he would have never been banned.

 

[Smitty]

He was a dick. There is no way to sugarcoat that shit.

And you are being kind of a dick right now.

But we forgive you.

 

[NoDak]

He has some issues he will never back down on (like Dak hating), but so do you (like Garrett hating).

These are not even remotely the same. One is pretty damn good at their job. The other... is not.

 

[NoDak]

He banned someone for hating Taylor Hicks.

It was me. And it wasn’t for hating Hicks. I only said he was overrated. I was the first to get banned, and when people stuck up for me saying that was a weak reason to ban somebody, they were banned, too. And it only picked up steam from there.

Anyways, I just fired up the game from Monday night...and they really really need to quit throwing to Elliott.

He should not be a major option in the passing game.

I just watched the sequence where Dalton nearly got picked by Jordan Hicks and then had the near safety.

He was the target both times.

Ooof.

No, they need to either have him involved in the passing game or forget the idea altogether… the constant uncertainty is not doing him any favors. If they want to use him like Mccaffrey, Kamara, Gurley, etc., then get him 10 pass plays a game... if not, just use him out of the backfield.

I don't think he is anywhere near the class of McCaffrey or Kamara. They need to just let it happen organically.

He clearly can't handle the responsibilities. We have seen numerous drops, tips and fails on designed plays.

They need to quit pretending he is a passing game weapon.

 

[lostxn]

Ah didn't realize that. I feel like when the racist stuff happened someone did a board wipe and some of us missed it all...

What racist shit happened? I might have been banned at the time...

I actually spoke to SBK on a different board but he was very vague about what went down. When he left, I came back.

 

[data]

I’m sure Smitty was upset. I remember they got along swimmingly.

Once SBK left, Smitty hitched his trailer to Garrett. Fast-forward thirteen years and...here we are.

No, but he was when he was drafted… Garrett never utilized that part of his game and as the old saying goes: "use it or lose it". There's no mystery as to why Elliott no longer has his home run speed, he was being used as a hammer, so he had to alter his body to accommodate (or survive).

He used to be better.

Good point

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I don't know who all he banned, but we all ended up at some other board while we waited out the nuclear fallout.

Yeah I went to that other board too for a bit

Not necessarily banned but there have been people leave this board because they got pissy in the political threads. But some of that is because those same people had probably lost interest in talking about the Cowboys.

 

[data]

He owned half the board. He wasn't booted. There was a divorce.

His account still valid here, right?

Yep, that was the place.

Well met HITR again.
