The Dallas Cowboys star pass-rusher took aim at what he called ‘fake analysts’ for their criticism in the aftermath of Sunday’s 31-10 shellacking at the hands of the Buffalo Bills.
“Everyone just waits for the Cowboys to lose,” Parsons said on his podcast, The Edge with Micah Parsons. “I saw multiple analysts, people who are fake analysts, who somehow got jobs on TV, saying ‘there goes your boy, oh there he is, that’s the person we’ve been waiting for.’
It’s getting close to the verge of being sick. In order to have something to talk about, former players are waiting for other current players to falter. You seem to know who you are at this point, so it’s not even merely to start talking names.
There are many former players, and sports debate shows on television that Parsons could have been singling out.
But perhaps the harshest critique of the Cowboys came from former All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, who said on FOX just after the game that Dallas is “not a mentally tough football team.”
According to Fox News, Gronkowski stated, “When a team is not mentally tough and you cannot win a big game on the road in a hostile environment with weather that isn’t on, you know, on your side, isn’t in your favor, it means you are not a mentally tough football team.” Having said that, the playoffs the previous year demonstrated it. It was seen in the previous year’s playoffs.
Parsons is obviously aware of the criticism,
“What makes you so desperate for someone to lose?” Parsons regretted. “Some people seem to be waiting for others to make mistakes,”

If there was one thing the Cowboys’ lopsided loss to the Bills demonstrated, it was how exposed they are outside of the welcoming walls of AT&T Stadium.
The Cowboys lost to the 49ers in Santa Clara, the Eagles in Philadelphia, and the Bills in Buffalo in crucial games against other postseason candidates. And then there was the puzzling Arizona loss against the Cardinals.
