A Dallas Cowboys player is offended when people criticize the team.
This week, Micah Parsons went in-depth on his emotions toward individuals criticizing the Dallas Cowboys on his podcast, The Edge. The team led by Parsons recently suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Bills, 31-10, which was decidedly closer than the final score indicated. The two-time All-Pro hit back at pundits who made fun of quarterback Dak Prescott and his squad.
This is what he said:
“Why everyone just waits for the Cowboys to lose is beyond me. I saw several false analysts, guys who acquired employment on TV by stating things like, “There goes your boy.” The fact that past players are waiting for current players to falter so they have something to talk about is getting to the point where it’s almost unhealthy. “It’s not even just about names.” You seem to know who you are by now, in my opinion.
hitting 21 of 34 passes for 134 yards, one interception, and no touchdowns. Dallas struggled to 195 total yards of offense, and he averaged a pitiful 3.9 yards per attempt. Buffalo, on the other hand, only managed to generate 266 rushing yards.
Parsons was not pleased with the remarks made against Prescott:
I understand Parsons’ desire to stand up for his group and other players, but this is the environment we live in. Why is this unexpected? People are going to take it personally when you lose a major game. When you win important games, you’ll receive the same amount of plaudits.
For several weeks, Prescott was the clear favorite to win the NFL MVP award, and the Cowboys were viewed as NFC favorites. Parsons didn’t appear to mind that his team was showered with accolades. And when the pendulum finally swings the other way, he shouldn’t be shocked.
