Goodnight Dallas
Associated Press
If the Eagles can’t be playing in the NFC Championship game then no NFC East team should be. Even though many of us are still grieving over the loss to the Cowboys last Saturday, we can all exhale because the Vikings just kicked them back to Dallas with a 27-3 win (34-3: The Vikings just rubbed it in with a last minute touchdown). It was great watching the game and listening to the crushed voice of Troy Aikman while he commentated on the last few drives.
For the past 3 weeks we’ve all unfortunately been hearing talks of Dallas being the new favorites in the NFC. What made it worse was that all of the people saying that were backing up their argument with stats from their wins over the Eagles.
It seemed like my worst nightmare was coming true- Dallas could very well win the Super Bowl. After the Eagles have been great for the majority of the decade and come away with no rings, the Cowboys were paving their way to winning one before the Birds.
This does not make up for the Eagles loss and they clearly have a lot of problems to work on this year but at least Dallas got sent home packing before the Super Bowl. That would have made this long offseason even longer for the Eagles and their fans. We have a few months to think over this season but at least the Lombardi Trophy won’t be in Dallas.
