#3 – Jerry Jones doesn’t believe the Cowboys are far from the champs

We could talk this one to the death.

But, you know what, a pie to the face will sure humble (or humiliate) souls.

More from The Landry Hat

And that’s exactly what happened when the Eagles dethroned a dynasty in the New England Patriots.

The Eagles did 2017 well and stopping quarterback Tom Brady gave the NFL world some shock.

Guys, we could pull out the Excel sheet and graphical statistics on this one but the fact remains the same: The Eagles are champs.

The Cowboys didn’t make it to the tournament at all.

Pull all the excuses you want about Ezekiel Elliott and the poor offensive line play.

The fact remains, the Eagles dealt with injuries and the spotlight better than anyone.

Whether we can say the Cowboys are far from the Eagles or not is irrelevant.

People forget the Super Bowl losers, so detailing how far one is from a title isn’t the same as owning the title.
