Micah Parsons Doesn’t Like Anyone Criticizing the Cowboys

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.

Here’s what he had to say:

“What I don’t understand is everyone just waits for the Cowboys to lose. I saw multiple analysts, people who are fake analysts who someone got jobs on TV, saying, ‘There goes your boy.’ It’s almost to the point where it’s almost sick that former players are waiting for current players to fail so that way they have something to talk about. “Its not even to just get into names. I feel like at this point, you kinda know who you are.”

Prescott really struggled against the Bills, completing 21 of 34 passes for 134 yards, with no touchdowns and an interception. He averaged a paltry 3.9 yards per attempt as Dallas struggled to 195 total yards of offense. In comparison, Buffalo gained 266 rushing yards alone.

Parsons was not happy about the criticism Prescott faced:

“It’s like, ‘Oh there he is. That’s the person we’ve been waiting for. Why do you want a person to lose so badly… I’m a fan of the game, right? Whether I’m playing Josh Allen or whoever, at the end of the day, I don’t wanna see Josh Allen hurt. I don’t wanna see him fail. I want him to continue his career. Obviously, when we’re playing and we’re lining up (against one another), I’m trying to beat him. But it seems that a lot of people are just waiting for people to fail.”

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 weeks, Prescott was thought to be the clear favorite to win the NFL MVP award, and the Cowboys were now considered 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.
