Jerry Jones' latest bragging right

What better way to decorate that brand new stadium? Check out BagofNothing.com for the original post with this image. The guy who runs the sire, a.k.a. Geeding, is a respectful Dallas Cowboys fan. You can poke fun at his Cowboys if you wish, but try not to be too mean-spirited to him. He's a decent guy.

This was not exactly how Eagles fans wanted to start 2010, with a shut-out loss to the rival Cowboys. But the good news the team gets a short week to move past the sting of losing the NFC East, and a number two seed in the NFC playoffs, because the Eagles will head right back to the scene of the crime Saturday night. The Cowboys will host the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs at 8pm on Saturday.

I turned the game off after the Cowboys went up 24-0 and opted to play some New Super Mario Brothers Wii with my wife. I think it was a wise decision. The offense looked flat, except for my new favorite Eagles player Brent Celek, and the defense could not stop anybody.

Give credit to the Cowboys, who have now won three games in December. The real test for them will be getting over that playoff drought. "America's Team" has not won a playoff game since 1996. They match up well against the Eagles though and open up as a four point favorite for Saturday's NFC Wild Card match-up.

Donovan McNabb will have to play better. He was off on throws to DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin numerous times on throws that could have drastically changed the outcome early on.
