I don’t post a whole lot of Reddit. But after having been a Cowboys fan for the past few decades you learn a few things. One of which is that we are always under a microscope. I don’t necessarily mind that because I’ve found most of our fans who are passionate tend to be a bit more realistic and nuanced, well at least some of them.

Which is what nothing surrounding this current Eagles team is receiving, nuanced takes. It’s Jalen is MVP because wins. Last night I found myself becoming so frustrated. They are a great team, and Jalen is a lower end top 10 Qb, in my opinion. However, this year their 4th quarter luck is astronomical. I’ve never seen a team have so many lucky bounces in every conceivable way. The hooked 60 yarder going in encapsulates it perfectly. Their mistakes are covered up somehow someway. Part of that is resilience and team spirit which they are the best in the league for.

But too fans are prisoners of the moment it’s all Jalen and it’s tiring. Him leading in MVP voting currently not only disrespects the legitimacy of this being a team sport but also himself from last year. The confirmation bias is at crazy levels and just seems very simplistic. I don’t know. Just a grumpy Cowboys fan I guess.
