Oh, this whole talk about the Cowboys losing that game, and poor Micah Parsons – let me tell ya, it’s just blowing up everywhere. Seems like folks are just picking apart everything that went wrong, but ya gotta see it like it is. Now, this Micah Parsons, bless his heart, he was out there playin’ his best, and just ‘cause the team had a rough time, well, people sure do like to chatter. It’s like they’re expectin’ one fella to pull the whole thing together on his own. Ain’t that somethin’?
Now, if you watched that game – and believe me, I reckon plenty did – the Cowboys were down bad. They were lagging, all right, sittin’ at 27-0 at one point. Parsons himself said somethin’ over on his podcast about how “embarrassing” it all was. Course it was tough to swallow; who wouldn’t be upset with a loss like that? It’s the kind that gets talked about for a good long while. But folks can be harsh, blamin’ him as if he’s out there on that field all alone.

Micah’s Words on That Loss
Now, Parsons, he’s got his own podcast over there with The Edge on Bleacher Report. And he came out talkin’ pretty clear on this whole deal. He said the loss was “unacceptable” and yeah, said he was downright “embarrassed.” That’s honest talk right there. He didn’t say it was everyone else’s fault; he was upfront about his feelin’s. He said he needed some time to wrap his head around it, and that’s only natural. Sometimes it’s just too much when the whole team ain’t clickin’ together, but folks don’t seem to wanna give that a thought, do they?
What’s This “Narrative” Micah Hates?
Well, Micah’s had enough of what folks are saying about him and the Cowboys’ season. That’s the “narrative” he’s tryin’ to shake. See, people talkin’ like the Cowboys are just no good, and that ain’t sittin’ well with him. He’s lookin’ at the whole team’s effort, not just what he’s doin’ out there by himself. But seems like the world’s mighty quick to put all the weight on one guy’s shoulders.
It ain’t like Micah’s had it easy, neither. He’s been battlin’ an ankle sprain here and there. Some days he couldn’t even be out there with the boys, watchin’ from the sidelines just gnawin’ at him. Anybody who’s played ball knows that feelin’. Now, folks are talkin’ like he’s lettin’ the team down, but he’s the one stayin’ positive, hopin’ to help the team whenever he can.
The Real Trouble: A Team Game

Listen here, football ain’t a one-man show. It’s a team game through and through. That loss didn’t come from just one or two folks; it was a team effort that just went the wrong way. Sure, folks want to pick on Parsons – happens with any good player in a big ol’ loss. But that boy’s got heart, and he’s puttin’ everything he’s got into it. He’s not throwin’ in the towel just ‘cause folks are tryin’ to pin the blame on him.
Micah’s made it real clear he’s standin’ by his teammates, sayin’ he’s got faith in them. Ain’t that what ya want from a player? He’s keepin’ his head up, lookin’ forward, not backward. It’s the talkers that want him to feel bad, but he’s too strong for that. Don’t matter how big the loss was; he’s still out there givin’ his all.
- Micah Parsons calls the playoff loss “embarrassing” but doesn’t shy away from it.
- He’s tired of folks talkin’ like the Cowboys are washed up – he’s got some pride for his team.
- Football’s a team game, and Parsons just wants people to see that.
So if you ask me, folks oughta take a step back. Let Micah and the Cowboys be. They know what happened out there on that field, and they don’t need a bunch of sideliners pointin’ fingers. Parsons, he’s got his sights set on doin’ better next time, and I reckon he’s ready to prove folks wrong. That boy ain’t lettin’ no loss keep him down for long, that’s for sure.
