Dallas Cowboys fans should know better by now. Whatever cheerful confidence is inspired by an impressive quarter or two of play is destined to be crushed, swiftly and without mercy. So, the team's late-game collapse Sunday afternoon to an Aaron Rodgers-less Green Bay Packers squad was less shocking than it should have been.

Of course, one shouldn't lose the forest (e.g. Jerry Jones' chronic mismanagement of the team) for the trees:

Does it really matter? The Cowboys have once again confirmed everyone's expectations and turned a promising season into a disappointment. Best to take a more philosphical approach, like Fort Worth Star-Telegram beat writer Clarence Hill:

On second thought, it's best to just take your cues from this guy:
