I think the 24hr gap between games 6&7 gave me (10years old then) enough time to come to terms with the loss. However, last night was all about exorcising the pain that held over from the 2006 AFCCG. I needed a victory to feel 'over it.' Yes, all this is worsened because 18-0 may never happen to us again. Even if we win the SB next year, I think I will always have an empty spot left from this season.

The only therapy for me will be bringing back Asante and Moss...and upgrading the LB corps. No matter what anyone says, we looked old and slow in the front 7 yesterday. The O-Line has some questions to answer, but I have always felt the front 7 has been the heart and soul of this dynasty.

Well, I don't know. It was painful (VERY), but this one to me is much worse. Maybe it comes down to the perfect season and how you feel about it--if you never cared about it--and I know a lot of people didn't--then this loss could be less painful than that, I guess. But the perfect season was something I really wanted as a fan. Not getting it just SUCKS to me, making this one the worst.

We know how you feel like now... and it isn't a good feeling.

I agree all around. This loss hurts BAD. I was kinda hoping I'd wake up today and that yesterday never happened at all.

This IS the worse loss I have ever experianced,worse than last years AFCCG,at least there was an excuse for that. The team was beat up,worn down, sick and had to play the reff's too. Th '86 Red Sox was bad I never got over that one,but we wern't suppose to win. This game after listening to,and defending the team and coach all year from outside attack was beyond any thing I've ever imagined.We were suppose to win, the Giants Aren't that good. We looked like it was Our first SB The OL,OC,QB,AND HC ING was: sickening
abominable, awful, beastly, detestable, distasteful, foul, frightful, ghastly, gross*, gruesome, hateful, hideous, horrid, horrific, icky*, loathsome, lousy, monstrous, nasty, nauseating, n, objectionable, odious, offensive, outrageous, repugnant, repulsive, revolting, rotten, satiating, scandalous, s shameless, shocking, stinking, surfeiting, vile, vulgar plus shocking. I was embaressed by the loss, and like the Sox of '86 I will never get over this one EVER. I even have to consider with all the time I put into listening, watching, reading,and writing about the team (about 8 hours a day every day, 365 days a year) weather its worth it any more. I could be a better father, husband, worker and get more things done if I didn't put so much time,energy and emotion into this team.

This is the worst ever for me by far. Someone wins a championship every year, its great to do but its not unique.

But NO ONE has ever gone 19-0. We had it right there in front of us and now it is gone and the chances of ever seeing it again are slim. We had a chance to do something that would ensure immortality for this team and now its gone. And now we have to go through another offseason, training camp, preseason, regular season and postseason to even have a chance to make up for it.

Even if we come out guns blazing the first 8 games next year and blow everyone out, no one will care, no one will be impressed because we didn't win the big one when it mattered. After every game next year no matter how great we look people will say "yeah, but".

This just royally sucks. My life will go on but as a fan of history I am crushed. We were so close. And we will probably win the Super Bowl next year and we will all be happy but it won't be the same. It won't be perfect.

Well maybe it will, but its a longshot.

I felt the exact same way... to a "T."

I felt like I wasted way too much time on something that didn't really even matter that much.

I still feel this way.

I have learned a very valuable lesson though.

I will concentrate much more on stuff that I CAN control.

Last night was actually a very good lesson.

I will still be a fan, but, not nearly as much as I once was.

I'm sure those are worthy sentiments, but damn.....still be a fan, but not as much? That's a depressing idea as well, having to distance yourself from something that has given so much joy. Damn damn damn.

To me the playoff loss in 1976 was far worse then this. It took me along, long time to get over that. Remember then we had no SB titles no real great history but that year was magic, then robbed from us. The last two hurt but still have 3 titles and the Pats are the team of the decade, just think about that from were we were just a few years ago. This team will make it back, I'm very confident of that plus what a year this has been let not lose sight of that.
