Since the Cowboys have long been regarded as “America’s Team,” many former players enjoy it when the five-time Super Bowl champion team has bad luck.
Dallas (10-4) has received criticism for having a dismal 3-4 road record, even though they have one of the best records in the NFL this season.Those travel issues were once more evident in Week 15, as Buffalo destroyed the NFC East leader, 31–10.
The defensive coordinator for the Cowboys, Micah Parsons, appeared to be rooting for his team’s failure when he spoke out against several TV pundits on The Edge.
Parsons remarked, “Everyone just waits for the Cowboys to lose.” “I witnessed numerous fake analysts who managed to land TV jobs stating things like, ‘There goes your boy.'” As in, “Oh my god, there he is.” We had been waiting for that individual. It’s getting close to the point of being almost nauseous.
Parsons, who has 12.5 sacks this season—ranking eighth in the NFL—went on to chastise previous players for appearing on TV and effectively supporting current athletes in order to provide them opinion pieces for national media.
Parsons continued, “Former players are waiting for current players to fail so they have something to talk about.” “It goes beyond simply naming things. You seem to know who you are at this stage, in my opinion. And you wonder, what makes you want someone to lose so badly? It appears that a lot of individuals are merely waiting for others to go wrong.
Rob Gronkowski, one of the most recent former NFL players to publicly attack the Cowboys following the team’s crushing defeat to the Bills, described the Cowboys as “soft and not mentally tough.” After the 49ers defeated Dallas 42–10 in Week 5, former San Francisco defensive back Donte Whitner publicly criticized the inconsistent Super Bowl hopefuls in addition to the four-time champion.
In Week 16, the Cowboys will travel once more to Hard Rock Stadium to play the AFC East-leading Dolphins on Christmas Eve at 4:25 p.m. ET.
