The Eagles/Cowboys rivalry is something a little different then the long standing Cowboys/Commanders rivalry, though. We swept them, too, but it just isn't the same because our franchises have so much more history and anxiety towards one another. If you can't admit that then I guess I'm living in the wrong reality.
The difference between the hatred is rather minimal. The Eagles and Cowboys have been playing against each other since the 60's and the rivalry started when Landry used to run up the score against those Eagles teams. The talk of the city of Philly is the Eagles vs. Cowboys when they are playing each other and when Dallas comes to Philly, the city of Philly has some rather large rallies that week.
The Eagles have had a coach that put bounties on Dallas players, fans that cheered in unison when one of Dallas' favorite players lied motionless on that piece of interstate they called astroturf....something that will never be forgiven by this Cowboys fan.
Not to mention as of late, the Eagles have dominated Dallas and in the last game at Philly, the Cowboys players were treated to Philly fans chucking eggs at the team bus before the game.
Except for the classless fans of Philly, it doesn't sound too far off from the Skins vs. Dallas rivalry. Yet, you rarely see a Cowboys fan still basking in the glory of sweeping Philly in the same fashion as Washington swept Dallas.
Yet, I STILL hear Skins fans bask in the sweeping of Dallas last season.
Personally, I'll take it. If the players can remember that feeling and use it as motivation, all the better.
And paybacks are a mofo.
