I am right there with you man, my wife just wants me to go to bed, but how can I go to sleep after that?!?

Is the season really over?

I look forward to the games every Sunday. How can the season really be over? Football makes it much easier to get through the daily grind at work, because you know that every weekend you get treated to a Patriots game.

In fact, I have terrible memory otherwise but I remember things that happen in my life to Patriots games.

For example

My father brought home my dog Bandit in 1997 on the weekend that we defeated the Chicago Bears.

My wife (fiancee at the time) were checking out wedding halls on the weekend the Patriots broke the all time win streak record against the Dolphins in 2004.

My Dad's uncle died the day the Patriots won their season finale against the Miami Dolphins in 2002.

I got my cat Chloe this year when the Patriots played at Buffalo.

I remember that Halloween was on a Sunday in 2004 because that is when the Patriots were destroyed by the Pittsburgh Steelers to end their win streak.

I remember I broke down in New Hampshire coming home from a ski weekend during Wild Card weekend of 2004.

Do you have any Allman Brothers?

some advice...

when I used to play video games all the time and the Pats lost, I would play madden and setup the same game conditions and dominate the computer. It gave me a little satisfaction after a tough loss.

Tell her you can't sleep but you'll go to bed if she makes it worth your while . . . that'll take your mind off it

Nice...I used to do that as well. That was back when I had a Sega Genesis way back when I first got married. Now I just spend my time working on this website

Me too. I went to bed, but couldn't get my mind off the game and couldn't get to sleep. So here I am too.

Here's a good one, how many people here saw that last interception, and actually spent 2-3 seconds before reality set in wondering how they may still come back and win the game?

It's amazing how focused and into a game you get into where your mind actually keeps you from realizing that the game is really over. We've never seen them lose an AFC Championship game before, so it's definitely tough to handle. Having to watch these next two weeks knowing they could have actually won this game is going to be rough. Watching Manning possibly finally win will definitely aggravate me.
