The Philadelphia Eagles received the Tremendous Bowl and that stinks for Cowboys followers

The Philadelphia Eagles received the Tremendous Bowl on Sunday evening. It stinks.

At no level throughout Tremendous Bowl LIX did it really feel like every other end result was potential, 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.

Possibly you might be happy with the end result as there was lots of fatigue surrounding the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs lately. Regardless of the case, the Eagles have now received two titles since 2017 which ties the New York Giants for essentially the most within the NFC East for the reason that Dallas Cowboys final did something of significant notice.

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

Maybe issues might be totally 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 certain 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

Should you care about divisional pleasure 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 workforce has received the Tremendous Bowl, one thing that turned official when Philly received their first seven years in the past.

The unlucky reality is that Philadelphia has established themselves because the roster-building commonplace within the NFL. Clearly some groups (just like the Chiefs!) have unbelievable particular person gamers or quarterbacks who propel them, however the Eagles proceed to regulate, assault and adapt. Think about that they’ve now received their two titles, and misplaced one other Tremendous Bowl within the course of, and that not one of the three they performed in had been began by the quarterback who they traded every part to draft in 2016. Mockingly sufficient, destiny took him to the Kansas Metropolis sideline throughout Sunday evening’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 keen on listening to whether or not or not you agree with me.

When the Eagles received 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 that they had by no means completed in order that they lastly joined the unique membership and that we may not maintain it over them was a bitter capsule to swallow.

However this title doesn’t really feel that very same approach. It’s annoying, don’t get me mistaken. And there might be days the place it feels extra annoying than it does now. However the Cowboys have completed this to themselves. I don’t view this because the Eagles having one thing unbelievable over them now as a result of the Cowboys aren’t precisely making an attempt as arduous as they’re. Philly ought to be dominating Dallas with how far more aggressive they’re as a workforce. It is sensible that that is the case. Possibly one of the simplest ways to place it’s that I’m at logical peace with it and may 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 workforce was all in and ended with the Eagles lifting the sport’s final prize.

That’s poetry within the worst potential approach.
