Rob Gronkowski wasn’t alone as he openly questioned the mental toughness of the Dallas Cowboys as they were blown out by the Buffalo Bills yesterday.
It looked like the San Francisco nightmare all over again for Dallas.
The 31-10 disaster was never close and did nothing but amplify the concerns that the Cowboys might be frontrunners who look great when conditions are comfortable and on their terms – but when the going gets tough, they fail.
The stark contrast in the Cowboys performance at home versus on the road has become an eye-popping trend that’s impossible to ignore.
While Dallas has been nearly unstoppable at home, they seem to be a completely different team on the road – especially when facing legitimate foes.
Appearing on FOX Sports’ postgame show, Gronk did not mince words with his analysis and said the Cowboys are not “mentally tough” enough to win on the road. Period.

Head coach Mike McCarthy admitted it’s a worrying trend that they must try to fix.
“We did not play well … There’s just too big of a gap in (our play on the road). We gotta be much better on the road,” he said.

With the ugly loss, the Cowboys fell to 10-4.
They’re still in good shape in the grand scheme of things, but it’s clear they must fix their road issues if they want to be serious about contending for a Super Bowl.
(By the way, Gronk has proven to be anything but a Cowboy hater – So you can throw that theory out the window.)

Speaking of Gronk, it was quite an eventful weekend for the future Hall of Famer.
His rendition of the national anthem at the LA Bowl is an absolute must-listen…

As far as Dallas, they will try to get back on track next week when they take on the Dolphins IN Miami on Christmas Eve.
What are your thoughts on the Cowboys?
Are they a tough enough team to win the Super Bowl?
Or is this just another fraudulent Cowboy team who will be heading home early???
