Trolling the Nation for Cowboys at Washington:’Parsons looks like Lawrence Taylor out there’

Read what other fans across the NFL had to say as they watched the Cowboys crush Washington’s soul.

NFL: Dallas Cowboys at Washington Football Team Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports

Here’s your chance to relive what fans of other NFL teams were thinking while they were watching the Cowboys beat Washington - via the comments made by those fans while watching the game. Follow along and witness how every time Washington got its hopes up, that hope was ripped away by soul-crushing plays at the most inopportune moments, time and time again. The Cowboys defense came to play and was able to rescue the game for an offense that still hasn't regained the form they displayed earlier this year. But oh man, that defense is now a thing!

Disclaimer: All quotes are taken directly from the open game threads from the SB Nation team sites as indicated in front of every comment.

First Quarter
Washington I hope they have to carry their loser benches home in shame… all the more reason we need to beat their asses today. Also F Dan Snyder for allowing it.
McLovinLife | 12:07 EDT
Eagles Why couldn’t we pick Micah Parsons? Smh.
Greenboogerstastebetter | 12:19 EDT
Because we whiffed on receiver 2x in a row and had to fix it.
HakunaMailata | 12:33 EDT
Washington All Cowboys fans. This is a freaking embarrassment.
Hooskins | 12:25 EDT
Washington 65-35 Cowboys fans. Absolute embarrassment.
Hooskins | 12:30 EDT
Washington No Aikman and Buck for the game; things are already looking up.
B&G Beatdown | 12:35 EDT
Patriots I'm going to laugh so freaking hard if the Cowboys lose to the Football Team after McCarthy came back and guaranteed a win. Sooo much laughter if they lose.
Please Don't Retire BB | 12:46 EDT
Washington WFT being clowned on Fox pre-game show.... if there ever was a game we need to win it's this one to make the nation eat crow...
Anubis31 | 12:52 EDT
Washington Seems like a good game for our first defensive TD of the year.
bmmoore7 | 12:56 EDT
Rams Gotta pull for Washington because ....well it is Dallas and as such needs no explanation for most of you.
hbwb | 01:02 EDT
Washington I hope NFL Owners and Goodell appreciate the empty stands in one of NFL's and Fox TV's most hyped games this weekend. Lackluster hometown enthusiasm for America's game.

Washington Nice stop on third down.

Washington While definitely the largest crowd, why are there so many empty seats?
Twelfth man | 01:11 EDT
Dan Snyder killed the fanbase.
Czechurself | 01:12 EDT
Washington We got a stop on defense, okay Dallas got 3, now let's get 7.

Patriots Jerry Jones vs Daniel Snyder? If this were bowl game it would be Most Hated Ownership Bowl.
DrDunk | 01:19 EDT
Gotta give it to Snyder.
AronL | 01:19 EDT
In a photo finish.
DrDunk | 01:24 EDT
Washington This is a statement game. You either win this game and make a statement here and now that you're legit or you lose this game and get exposed as frauds who got lucky during the win streak. Games like these are defining moments in a season and so they better win it.

Washington FedEx turf monster got Dak there. WOOT COLLINS!

B&G Beatdown | 01:25 EDT
Washington That was an impressive play by Gregory. Yeesh.
dg28 | 01:25 EDT
Washington That is just a fantastic athletic play by their DE...Randy Gregory props!
StillASkinsFan | 01:25 EDT
Eagles Nice play by Gregory.
A Graham Short | 01:26 EDT
Washington Stadium is clearly louder for Cowboys. Ugh.
CartesianTheater | 01:26 EDT
Washington Cheers for Dan Snyder for making this stadium a home game for Dallas! #selltheteam
BobCohen in Bama | 01:26 EDT
Washington If Dallas scores right here with a TD, this game may be over. We have no momentum.
bmartin17 | 01:30 EDT
Easy now, its the 1st quarter.
Atticus17 | 01:31 EDT
Dude stop.
SkinsNJ | 01:31 EDT
Washington So it's gonna be like this today…

Washington Cooper too easy.
Twice Thriced | 01:35 EDT
Washington We are outclassed!
Gilchrist | 01:36 EDT
Washington Dak makes so much of a difference. Without him, Washington rolls.
D.C. sports fan in SoCal | 01:37 EDT
Washington The defense let them do whatever they wanted that drive. That was pathetic.
Sebastian75 | 01:37 EDT
Washington How were they not ready for the two point play. Dak never left the field. WTF? How does a DT lineup in the neutral zone? The ball is right there.
hiphopfan85 | 01:38 EDT
Washington What a rough start to a game that even media is clowning the team on... Embarrassing so far.
Anubis31 | 01:39 EDT
Washington Game Plan...let Dallas get a big start, have them get over confident, and then come back to make a game of it.
StillASkinsFan | 01:39 EDT
Washington Looks like Blubber Boy's guarantee was legit.
ShahShahS21T | 01:39 EDT
Washington So much for today. Turning off Red Zone, going for a walk in the park. No team name, no home field anymore, never show up when it counts. I'm about done.
Gary66 | 01:40 EDT
Washington The Cowboys were talking trash all week about this team and we see why. Ron has failed to have them prepared for this game and that's unacceptable.
Sebastian75 | 01:40 EDT
Washington Dallas defense is scary fast!
StillASkinsFan | 01:41 EDT
Steelers I don’t care if he isn’t great, I want Steelers to trade for Taylor H just because he works his Heinicke off.
NAS204PSU | 01:43 EDT
Washington ...go for it...
redskinbo | 01:44 EDT
Washington Gotta go for it.
StillASkinsFan | 01:44 EDT
Washington Might as well go for it.

KCPhoenix_11 | 01:45 EDT
Washington This is a disaster...
Atticus17 | 01:45 EDT
Washington I'm not sure what is worse: how much the offense is struggling or how much the stadium sounds pro-Dallas.
Twelfth man | 01:46 EDT
Washington Game is over.
birdbrain77 | 01:46 EDT
Washington Washington really wet the bed in the biggest game of the year.
D.C. sports fan in SoCal | 01:47 EDT
Eagles It is getting ugly for WSH.
grantspectations | 01:48 EDT
Eagles Diggs (9 INT/Year) shuts down the pass, Parsons creates fmble/touchdown. Take note Howie Roseman.
froggyluv | 01:48 EDT
Packers Ugh Chiefs rolling, Cowboys rolling, not enjoying the early games I can watch.
Spilly Talker | 01:48 EDT
Patriots Micah Parsons might not just be Defensive Rookie of the Year, but perhaps the entire NFL?
Michael McDermott | 01:48 EDT
Washington The Cowboys talked trash all week and we respond by cowering in fear and looking like a bunch of clowns.
Sebastian75 | 01:48 EDT
Eagles Washington is just killing itself with these turnovers.

Washington Score a touchdown please.
SkinsNJ | 01:52 EDT
Washington Not over yet.
1052skins | 01:52 EDT
Giants Micah Parsons wasn’t just the best player in that draft. He’s the best player in the NFL. The Giants didn’t just blow it by passing him up for injury prone Toney but also the bust they’ll get from Chicago’s pick. And you know they’ll blow that to. Parsons is the microcosm of the Giants organization.
Moon Bars | 01:53 EDT
Washington Get the next 2 touchdowns and we’re right back in this thing.

KCPhoenix_11 | 01:57 EDT
He's better than Young.
ShockDiesel | 01:57 EDT
Eagles I love Smith, but holy heck, trading up - and having Dallas still end up with a complete stud in Parsons?
GBAB1973 | 01:57 EDT
Washington No answer for Dallas defense.
shally | 01:57 EDT
Washington From the Cowboys takeover to the score this is an absolute embarrassment from top to bottom.
Hooskins | 01:57 EDT
Washington RR called out McCarthy for his victory quote. RR looking the fool right now.
KCPhoenix_11 | 01:58 EDT
Washington Maybe not run the ball on 1st-and-10 for a 2 yard gain?
Jummy22 | 01:59 EDT
Washington Wasn’t expecting a blood bath today.
Twice Thriced | 02:00 EDT
Washington Just saw the clip on Red Zone, Parsons just threw Taylor to ground like a 5 pound bag of potatoes.
bmartin17 | 02:00 EDT

Washington If the first play is a handoff to Gibson up the middle, I swear to God!
SkinsNJ | 02:02 EDT
What you swearing? Cause you know it's coming.
sloopdawgg | 02:03 EDT
Giants The worst part about watching Parsons dominate isn't that we could have drafted him. It's knowing that if we did draft him, he wouldn't be dominating.
GiantsFirst | 02:03 EDT
Washington This team and offense is just not built to come back from large deficits.
D.C. sports fan in SoCal | 02:04 EDT
Definitely not built to stop Micah.

SR Management and Maintenance | 02:15 EDT
Washington This team is just getting killed. Dallas is on a different level.
D.C. sports fan in SoCal | 02:16 EDT
Eagles Dak doesn't look the same since that calf injury. Missing a ton of passes. He was on fire early in the year.
Howie Roseman BFF | 02:17 EDT
