Hey guys, it’s your favorite Unk here, and I gotta say, I’m heated after what I saw following the Cowboys’ embarrassing blowout loss to the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. I know emotions were running high after that game, but some of the actions that came next? Unacceptable.
So, here’s what happened: hours after the game, CD Lamb and Trevon Diggs, two of Dallas’ best players, were out in the club… filming a music video. That’s right. While fans were still licking their wounds from a crushing defeat, these two were living it up, sharing clips of themselves partying and shooting a video. A local Dallas TV station shared the footage on Twitter, and let me tell you, the fans were NOT happy.
One fan put it bluntly: “That’s why y’all suck.” Another wrote: “Cowboys aren’t a serious football team.” And it didn’t take long for the outrage to spread like wildfire across social media. People were upset, confused, and disappointed that two of the team’s top players seemed to have brushed off the loss so easily. It felt like a slap in the face to fans who pour their hearts into supporting the team week after week.
Now, look. I get it—players are human. They need to blow off steam. Everyone has their way of dealing with a loss, and maybe hitting the club is how these guys cope. But… after a game like that? A 30+ point blowout on national TV? Is this really the best look?
As much as I understand that players need a release, the timing here just doesn’t sit right with me. I mean, when I was playing, if we got blown out like that, I wouldn’t have been out clubbing. I would’ve been too mad, too embarrassed to show my face in public. I’d have been at home, looking at the tape, figuring out what went wrong.
But hey, maybe that’s just me. Different players, different mindsets. And while I can respect that these guys are young, living their lives, and trying to have fun, there’s a bigger issue here: The lack of leadership and accountability on this team.
Now, I’m gonna say it—this whole situation screams of a lack of discipline. Where’s the leadership? Who’s stepping up and saying, “Hey, fellas, we need to stay focused. We need to hit the grind and get better, because we just got embarrassed”? The Cowboys have talent, no doubt, but right now, it doesn’t look like anyone is taking control of the situation.
Let’s talk about that. Who is the leader of the Dallas Cowboys? Is it Dak Prescott? Micah Parsons? CD Lamb? Trevon Diggs? I’ll wait. Because if you’re serious about winning, you can’t be out shooting music videos after a loss like that. There’s no way around it.
Leadership isn’t just about being the loudest guy in the locker room or posting motivational speeches on social media. It’s about setting the example—even when things aren’t going well. It’s about showing up the next day ready to work, not out partying. And right now, there’s a real void of leadership on this team.
This is what’s frustrating about the Cowboys. Every week, we hear them talk about Super Bowl dreams and winning the NFC East, but when the rubber meets the road, we see actions that tell a completely different story. You can’t talk about winning and then act like winning doesn’t matter when things go south. It doesn’t add up.
And for those who say, “Hey, let the guys have fun,” I get it. But let me be clear, this isn’t just about partying. This is about what this represents—a lack of urgency, a lack of accountability, and a team that isn’t taking ownership of their failures. How can we believe these guys are serious about winning when they seem more focused on the perks of being an NFL player than the grind of being a competitor?
So, here’s my take: You can’t win with this mindset. You can’t win when your best players are out filming music videos the same night you get blown out. Winning requires focus, sacrifice, and putting in the work—not just the flashy lifestyle that comes with the job.
The Cowboys have a leadership problem, and it starts at the top. Jerry Jones, for all his billions, is not leading this team to a championship. Mike McCarthy? He’s just a coach in name. He doesn’t have the power to steer this ship, and it’s showing. Without true leadership, this team is spinning its wheels.
So who’s gonna step up? Who’s gonna take control? Because right now, the Cowboys don’t look like a team that’s serious about winning. They look like a group of talented individuals who are more concerned about their brand than the wins column.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Do you think CD Lamb and Trevon Diggs were out of line? Or is this just a case of players needing to blow off some steam? Either way, the Cowboys’ culture needs a serious overhaul—because right now, it’s just not working.
