Linebacker Micah Parsons tried to avoid a wasp as he stood at the stage following the Dallas Cowboys’ 30-16 loss to Denver on Sunday.
In order to ensure that the wasp was no longer in his line of sight, he moved a few steps to the left and shooed his arms out of the way.
It was an appropriate setting for the Cowboys’ poorest performance of the year.
In the end, “It’s just not my day,” Parsons stated after returning to the microphone. That’s fine, because I just bought a new dog, and I’m heading home to cuddle with him and talk about it.
Sace, short for Versace, was waiting for Parsons when he arrived at his house. There will be an ugly appraisal of what might have been the worst loss in coach Mike McCarthy’s two years at The Star waiting for the Cowboys on Monday.
A 28-point thrashing by the Arizona Cardinals and a 25-point loss on Thanksgiving Day against the Washington Football Team were some of the worst losses the team suffered last year.
There was no Dak Prescott to witness any of this because of his right ankle dislocation and a complex fracture. The Cowboys’ defense was in disarray and the offensive line was constantly changing.
However, just seven days ago, the Dallas Cowboys were regarded as one of the greatest teams in the NFL with their victory against the Minnesota Vikings without quarterback Dak Prescott. The Cowboys had a six-match winning streak. They possessed an impressive attack and a defense that was able to stop opponents at the right time and take the ball away from them.
Even with Prescott’s comeback from a calf strain, all of it went away against the Broncos on Sunday.
It was a “concern” for McCarthy on Wednesday because of how the team had recently enjoyed some success, and the message was “Don’t take the cheese,” he said. “Frankly we were outcoached and outplayed, all the way through,” McCarthy said. At no moment did we appear to be more energetic than the other team, and that was disheartening to me for the first time.
“Maybe,” Prescott said when asked if the Cowboys were overly confident after six straight victories.
The quarterback remarked, “You win as a team, you lose as a team, and I think it all begins with the leaders.” When we ask the coaches to do something different, we’re not seeking for it. We need to work out more. On Monday, we need to take responsibility for this loss and ensure that we move forward from it, learn from it, and then come in Wednesday and have a terrific practice and ensure that this is something we take away from the experience. “This is a terrible emotion, and we must avoid it at all costs.”
Two touchdown passes in the closing four minutes and eight seconds rescued the Cowboys from their first home shutout in 30 years. It was too late for the Cowboys’ offense to recover from a 30-0 deficit, and the Broncos’ run defense had shown its flaws.
After 13 third-down chances, the Cowboys were only able to convert five of them, all of which occurred in the final quarter. Two times in the first quarter and two more times in the remaining three quarters, they tied the most turnovers on downs in a game over the prior 20 seasonsrecord. .’s
“We’ve been suffering on fourth-and-1 all year, so that didn’t surprise me,” Jerry Jones, owner and general manager of the Cowboys, said. “It shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone.” Despite our best efforts, we’ve come up short in the fourth quarter.”
The defense’s ability to stop the run was hindered by the lack of a lead because of the stuttering offense. The Broncos rushed for 190 yards, which is 70 more than the Cowboys have allowed in a single game this year. This is their second straight game without a takeaway.
No one enjoys losing in this fashion, Leighton Vander Esch remarked. What you are saying is true. On Monday, we’ll remedy the error. Having a rival eats you up,”
The Cowboys’ primary concern right now is preventing what happened on Sunday from becoming a norm.
As long as McCarthy has been around, he knows that if an opponent exploits a team’s weaknesses, the next opponent will do the same, so he expects the Cowboys’ opponents to play stronger man-to-man defense.
When the Chargers utilized a similar strategy in Week 2, the Cowboys gained 419 yards, including 198 on the run, en route to their first win of the season.
According to Prescott, “I hope opponents play us like this for the remainder of the year, to be honest. “This was basically a poor performance by us. Our regular demeanor is very different here… ‘This isn’t tape you toss away,’ Coach stated in the locker room. As a result, we’ve gained a great deal of insight and are ready to go forward.’ If we don’t live up to our standards and expectations, we must take responsibility for our actions. “We’ll take care of it, and we’ll get better as a result.”
Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III ripped the Dallas Cowboys’ defense apart in a rerun of last season’s run defense. There were complaints from McCarthy about how the Broncos were better at “finishing plays” than his team. However, the defense enabled Teddy Bridgewater to complete passes of 25, 40 and 44 yards, with 2.5 sacks from Parsons.
Parsons, do you believe that other teams will try to copy Denver’s offense?
Then again, it’s possible.” “Then, he added. It’s up to you. We’re going to improve. “We’ll be prepared.”
Sunday was the worst day of my life.
