It’s hard to take the high road. After the Dallas Cowboys were embarrassed by the Green Bay Packers in their home playoff game, the attention of Cowboys Nation shifted to last Monday’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As some expected, the Eagles were outclassed by Tampa Bay and beaten soundly as they marched off the field at Raymond James Stadium and into the offseason along with Dallas.
Philadelphia’s loss won’t take the sting out of a Cowboys season with a lot of promise that crashed and burned, but it does numb the senses in the short interim.
