Many fans of the Philadelphia Eagles \u2014 and the rest of the NFC East, for that matter \u2014 are rejoicing after the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday traded Micah Parsons<\/a> out of the division and to the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n

But hold your horses Philly fans.<\/p>\n

Sure, this means it gets even easier for the Eagles to beat their arch-enemy, but that was already pretty easy. The Cowboys were not very good with Parsons and will either stay the same \u2014 or get worse \u2014 after the trade.<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t matter. Dallas has very little chance of beating the Eagles in their two meetings this season, even if Parsons was in the lineup and put on All-Pro performances. The Cowboys are a mess, or as they like to say in Philly, \u201cthey s\u2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bottom line is: Parsons is going to be wearing the wrong shade of green, as far as Eagles\u2019 fans should be concerned.<\/p>\n

The Green Bay Packers are a lot, and I mean a lot, better than the Cowboys. The Packers are now the type of team that could prevent the Eagles from getting back to the Super Bowl. Dallas was never going to be that team this season.<\/p>\n

The Eagles play the Packers on Monday, Nov. 10, in primetime in Green Bay. Monday Night Football always adds some juice to any game, but now it makes for must-see TV.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t think for one moment that Parsons, who played high school ball at Central Dauphin High School near Harrisburg, won\u2019t be super-pumped for this game.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not what Eagles fans should be worried about.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what should really give you agita after gulping down a cheesesteak: The Eagles could meet the Packers again in the playoffs, just like last season en route to winning the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Parsons is a fierce competitor who loves to ruin other teams\u2019 dreams and wants to be a winner; that\u2019s why he wanted out of Dallas. He knew he\u2019d never get to the top of pro football with the Cowboys. With the Packers? A much better chance.<\/p>\n

No reason to celebrate here, Philly.<\/p>\n

In fact, just another reason to loathe Jerry Jones, who just give the City of Brotherly Love the middle finger.<\/p>\n
