The loss to the Cowboys was terrible because it touches all the points that makes being an Eagles fan frustrating. Not being able to win a close game. Having 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 and not being able to convert. Blowing away time outs. Weird coaching decisions like going for a FG down 7 with no timeouts left.The Phillies loss was tempered because they won it last year. They destroyed the NL on the way to the WS this year. They had a punchers chance but a few bad breaks put them down too far to come back. FWIW - WS Game 4 was much worse than WS Game 6. To have a chance to go to 2-2 with your ace in Game 5 would have completely changed the series. Instead one extra stolen base and the whole series is over. Game 6 I think many were - not resigned to losing - but knew the chances were slim.

This is how I feel as well. Its not that losing to the Cowboys has worse implications, just that the Phillies were in the WS for the 2nd year in a row having just won a championship. They lost game 6 to a better team and at their park. I'm proud of the Phils and still think they are the best team in the NL.The Eagles proved once again that Reid is a horrible game-day coach who can't manage a clock. Will get just close enough to be considered successful without really winning anything. The frustrating part was not the loss, per se, but again exposing the teams flaws that have existed for years.
