NFL fans are ripping on Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons for his disrespectful act in the waning seconds of Monday night’s heartbreaking 27-20 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The game was tied 20-20 with just over two minutes remaining when the Cowboys forced a Cincinnati punt at the two-minute warning. Just when it looked like Micah Parsons would will the Cowboys to a thrilling prime-time victory, however, the Dallas special teams crumbled at the worst possible time.

Ryan Rehkow’s punt was blocked, seemingly giving Dallas excellent field position to set up Brandon Aubrey for the game-winning field goal. But Amani Oruwariye of the Cowboys made the mistake of touching the football, allowing the Bengals to recover it and retain possession.

Joe Burrow would hit Ja’Marr Chase for the go-ahead touchdown on the drive, and the Cincy defense forced a turnover on downs to win the game. Micah Parsons was so upset about the loss that he walked off the field before the clock hit zeroes:

“Selfish and unprofessional. The Cowboys have had a frustrating season to say the least, but you need to be able handle defeat with class,” one critical fan said.

“Micah parsons storming off is so unserious,” wrote a fan.

“Not a good look,” said a fan.

“Micah Parsons leaving the field before the game ended or shaking hands with anyone is cry baby behavior. Someone that aspires to be a “leader of the team” cannot do that. Ridiculous,” wrote another.

“He had no tackles today. He’s part of the problem this season!!!,” a fan said.

“I get the frustration but it’s kind of childish,” said another.

“Loose cannon. Trade him to the lions,” a critic said.

“He doesn’t make much of a difference honestly,” claimed another fan.

Micah Parsons’ Frustrations Are Understandable

One can criticize Parsons’ antics after the loss, but it’s also not hard to understand why he’s unhappy. He’s been one of the few positives in a miserable Cowboys season, and they simply gave the game away to Cincy on a silver platter with a careless special teams mistake that could get any coach fired.

VIDEO: Stephen A. Smith Awkwardly Compared Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones To President Joe Biden In Scathing Rant

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith teed off on Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, even comparing him to U.S. president Joe Biden.

Jerry Jones has faced immense and justified criticism for the Cowboys’ struggles this season. Jones said in January that Dallas would be “all-in,” yet he didn’t make a single blockbuster move in the offseason.

Jones didn’t extend superstars CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott until August and September, respectively. Needing to put cap space aside for those two stars, no big moves were to be made in September once Jones completed the extensions.

Speaking on ESPN’s “First Take”, Smith expressed concern about Jones’ health and compared him to Biden. Amid concerns about his physical and mental health, Biden announced in the summer that he wouldn’t seek re-election for president.

“I’m getting very very worried about Jerry Jones. I find myself thinking about Joe Biden before he backed out of running for reelection. i think Jerry’s only one month older than President Joe Biden for crying out loud…

Somebody in your inner circle has to be able to stop you from just adding fuel to the fire, because it’s so bad right now, they’ve literally took the fun out of it.”

Jerry Jones (82), is only one month older than Biden, who celebrated his birthday on Wednesday. Donald Trump won the election over Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, and will return to the office in January.

The Cowboys, losers of five straight are 3-7 heading into Sunday’s contest against the NFC East rival Washington Commanders. With Prescott (hamstring surgery) done for the year, the Cowboys’ playoff hopes are all but done for.

Jerry Jones Made This Mess Of A 2024 Season

As the GM of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones is solely responsible for the failures of the Cowboys this year. He didn’t make any big moves to improve the roster and stood by Mike McCarthy despite another miserable postseason loss.

The Cowboys lost several key contributors from last year, including Tyron Smith, Tony Pollard, Stephon Gilmore, Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler Jr. Jones had it in his mind that this roster was good enough to win, despite a single playoff win during the McCarthy era.

Unfortunately for Cowboys fans, Jones’ history shows he won’t do anything significant to improve the roster in the offseason.
