I definitely agree with the latter point, and I'm not looking to dwell on our divisional misery, but I stand by the comment about the general long-term domination we've suffered against all three, even if we've fared slightly better against the Eagles and Cowboys in the most recent years (although we're 2-10 overall in the last two years in the division). Since '01, we have a losing record against all three teams, and dating back to '97, the team has lost 20 of its last 28 games against the Cowboys (and four of the last five). While we did sweep the Eagles in '08, as I said, we've lost more than we've won against them in the last decade, and have lost three of the last four, with the last meeting being one of the most lopsided losses in the franchise's history. What I'm sure we can at least agree on is, simply put, the division games have served as salt in the wound of 15+ years of losing.
