How you doing?

[MadtownPacker]

I was reading Nutz post about not getting so worked up over football games and realized I wasnt so bent out of shape about the loss today, as bad as it was. I'm guessing it has alot to do with coming off a SB win. You guys feel the same way or was it like 4th&26 traumatizing for you?

On a unrelated note. I was on the side of my pad talking with my cousins after the game when we heard a little chant coming down the street. We where behind a tall fence so we couldnt see but when I pulled myself up and looked over it there was a dude walking down the street with what looked like 3 or 4 of his kids. They were waving some kind of flag but I couldnt see what it was (thinking it was Mexico one but it could have been something else just saw red) and they where chanting "Who sucks? The Packers suck! Who lost? The Packers lost!". I was thinking I might be tripping but the cuzs heard it too. I dont know what the hell was going on other than some ghettos ass fool had his kids doing that. Not sure if it was for my benefit but I dont know of any other Pack fans around. I just could make out the dude and he had black on so maybe it was a bitter raiders fan.

Not as bad as 4th and 26. Frustrating though, because the opportunity to repeat as Super Bowl Champs doesn't present itself that often. I'm hoping this isn't 1997 all over again. The one advantage this team does have is it appears the head coach wants to be here long term. He's not using Green Bay as a stepping stone to a "better" job.

I've had worse losses. The interesting thing is being new at work, no one knew whether it was safe to be near me or not, so they just kind of left me alone to do my thing today...

we had a great year. disappointed yes but not as bad as some other times. they know they're better than they showed in that game. everyone will come back hungry and with something to prove next season.

This did not compare to 4th and 26 in any way, shape or form. Maybe that is just me and where I am at in life, though. Nothing like three kids rampaging around the house to put football losses in perspective. Because, any minute now, there is sure to be something of far more value getting flung across the living room and smashed into smithereens.

I was doing ok....disappointed then I had some bs farve apologists coming out of the woodwork at me. While rodgers had a bad game he was just a piece of the problem.

Yesterday I felt like I just got out of one of those big locker room clothes dryers. Today, I'm doing a lot better than I thought I'd be doing. I always had reservations about this team. An offensive machine built on multiple receivers, but more holes on D that would be exposed in big play-off competition.

The Giants are on the same path we were on last year. Coming together in the play-offs and staying hot. We just saw the other side of the coin this season.

No where near as bad as 2007.

I think the difference between 4th and 26 and 2007 is that in those two defeats, the Packers were in it until the end. This last defeat was not the same. The Packers were done and dusted before the 4th quarter even started. They were never seriously in it to begin with, so i resigned to a loss relatively early. There wasn't that single traumatic boneheaded play that cost the game. There were a series of plays and plenty of blame to go around.

Accepted it with 7min left after Grant fumble and was out enjoying DC with my pops before final whistle.

Getting blown out doesn't bug me as much as the 'close' losses. We'd be fighting over single plays/etc instead of seeing the larger issues with the team.

It really is just a game.

I've matured since then. Plus, I have two daughters now. I think having witnessed two Super Bowl titles now (one recently), it doesn't sting like it used to. Still, I was melancholy last night. Today, I took my oldest daughter skiing for the first time. The youngest is sick and woke up several times last night. Hard to stay down for long.

Also, having been a fan for so long now, you realize the playoffs are a crapshoot. Each game really is a tossup.

I didn't find it too bitter because Giants deserved to win. Went to bed feeling a little empty cause game wasn't so fun. I did wake up early this morn to make sure the sun was gonna come up, and sure enuf it did.

Yeah, maybe I'm growing up, and this is a lesson to not revolve such a big chunk of your life around something you have no control over.

What's annoying is other fans talking shit. I don't do it because I know how much it sucks to lose, so I find that incredibly petty.

[Deputy Nutz]

I think the writing was the wall with how the defense was playing. I still have no idea why the bookies had the game at 7.5 in favor of the Packers.

I know how much it sucks to lose,

YOU LOSER!

Nice to see ya th87.
