The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl and that stinks for Cowboys fans

The Philadelphia Eagles gained the Tremendous Bowl on Sunday night time. It stinks.

At no level throughout Tremendous Bowl LIX did it really feel like every other outcome was attainable, to be trustworthy. Philadelphia dominated from begin to end and proved themselves to be completely worthy champions, even when we dislike them as division rivals.

Perhaps you’re happy with the outcome as there was quite a lot of fatigue surrounding the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs as of late. Regardless of the case, the Eagles have now gained two titles since 2017 which ties the New York Giants for essentially the most within the NFC East because the Dallas Cowboys final did something of significant word.

Some Cowboys followers from what I’ve seen appear to really feel that this Eagles win will assist incite change from the staff’s entrance workplace. The thought there may be that the embarrassment felt might or would result in change, however take into account what occurred final time Philly gained all of it. Within the 2018 offseason the Cowboys noticed Jason Witten retire (clearly he got here again a 12 months later) and reduce Dez Bryant earlier than going with their notorious wide-receiver-by-committee method. They on no account acted with urgency born from Philly tasting the glory that has so lengthy eluded them.

Maybe issues will likely be completely different this time round. The Eagles have confirmed, twice now, that by being aggressive and relentless with constructing your roster that good issues can (and sure will) occur.

Most Tremendous Bowl Victories by NFC East Groups

Dallas Cowboys (5): 1971, 1977, 1992, 1993 & 1995
New York Giants (4): 1986, 1990, 2007 & 2011

Washington Commanders (3): 1982, 1987, 1991
Philadelphia Eagles (2): 2017 & 2024

If you happen to care about divisional delight the NFC East continues to boast essentially the most Tremendous Bowl victories of any division throughout the NFL. They’re the one division through which each staff has gained the Tremendous Bowl, one thing that grew to become official when Philly gained their first seven years in the past.

The unlucky fact is that Philadelphia has established themselves because the roster-building commonplace within the NFL. Clearly some groups (just like the Chiefs!) have unimaginable particular person gamers or quarterbacks who propel them, however the Eagles proceed to regulate, assault and adapt. Contemplate that they’ve now gained their two titles, and misplaced one other Tremendous Bowl within the course of, and that not one of the three they performed in have been began by the quarterback who they traded every little thing to draft in 2016. Paradoxically sufficient, destiny took him to the Kansas Metropolis sideline throughout Sunday night time’s beatdown.

I’m going to do one thing that I attempt to not do right here and communicate on behalf of the fanbase as a complete, however I’m actually excited by listening to whether or not or not you agree with me.

When the Eagles gained their first title in 2017 it was probably the most annoying sports activities outcomes of my and our collective lifetimes. Hoisting the Lombardi was one thing they’d by no means finished in order that they lastly joined the unique membership and that we might now not maintain it over them was a bitter tablet to swallow.

However this title doesn’t really feel that very same approach. It’s annoying, don’t get me improper. And there will likely be days the place it feels extra annoying than it does now. However the Cowboys have finished this to themselves. I don’t view this because the Eagles having one thing unimaginable over them now as a result of the Cowboys aren’t precisely attempting as exhausting as they’re. Philly ought to be dominating Dallas with how far more aggressive they’re as a staff. It is smart that that is the case. Perhaps one of the best ways to place it’s that I’m at logical peace with it and might course of it in that approach.

You want no reminder that this most up-to-date season from the Dallas Cowboys was one from absolute hell. It began with Jerry Jones saying the staff was all in and ended with the Eagles lifting the sport’s final prize.

That’s poetry within the worst attainable approach.
