I've spent the last 3 hours laying in bed, tossing & turning. I'm supposed to be up for work in 4 hours. My stomach aches. My brain won't turn off. I keep thinking of the end of the game. What happened. What could've happened. What should've happened. This was the biggest loss of my Seahawk fandom. I want to just move on, get past it, but my mind won't let me. Different scenarios play out in my head. I can't turn it off. Alternate futures that might have been.
I don't know how to react to this. I'm so proud of this team and all the joy they've brought me. And to have it all end so suddenly. And to know it was self-inflicted. The end of game heartbreak that's the result of one of our own making such an egregious mistake. Right now I'm trying to reconcile the fact that I'm a fan of a team that, for the moment, employs one of the biggest villains in Seattle Sports history. This one is going to take a while to get over. The fallout from this is going to happen over an entire offseason and I don't know if I have the stomach for it.
Murican NFL fans
I didn't realize timvp was a Seahawks fan.
I went on a 2-week drinking binge after the Ravens Super Bowl.
That's how I felt in 2008. Thank goodness they won this one. I didn't want another month deployed with nothing to do but think about that stupid Kearse catch.
I spent the two days after 6 drunk off my as and didn't sober up till the night after game 7. To this day I don't remember much of game 7 .
Worst sports fandom pain in my career. Worse than XL. I stripped my gears going from so happy to so sick in such a short amount of time. Still haven't recovered. I find myself just shaking my head involuntarily like blinking.
man I'm still on a drinking binge from that Saints win. ing onside kick
Wtf kinda fan base names themselves btw? Looking at that forum they call themselves 12s. I'm so happy they lost
Couldn't sleep at 6 either tbh. Took me like 2 hours of tossing and turning before I finally did. I knew it was over. There was no coming back from that.
I used to feel this way about sports in my teens and younger, tbh..nowadays, it'll annoy me for the rest of the night, but I'm over it by the next morning, outside of trolling purposes/internet bragging
Tough to care so much when you have real life problems..

The older I get, the less I care. When I'm 50, I sure don't want for my happiness to be hinging on a black quarterback's ability to make an easy short pass.
LOL at mother ers losing more sleep than Russel Wilson is.
Half these comments are about "Im at work today" and bla bla bla. Do any of these people actually focus at work?
I came to work this morning knowing 2 things. We played our hearts out and had every opportunity to finish that game, but one bad call cost it. I tried to argue that there were a bunch of plays that eventually cost us, and usually I am down with that line of thinking, but not this time. Not this game. One play was the reason we lost this game.
Lastly, I am at work today, with the knowledge that we are still the best team in the NFL right now, and I don't see that changing this off season.
When you see pro athletes in real life, it's a reality check, tbh
Most of them forget about the game the next day and enjoy their multi-millionaire lives, while many fans are actually emotionally affected by the outcome for days, sometimes weeks..
The Big Fan was a really good movie that touched on this..
I agree, the 08 SB hurt a lot more than the 12.
The 18-1 Super Bowl was horrible. Like having my heart ripped out through my asshole.
2012 wasn't nearly as bad because (1) Mavs ringing in 2011 made me completely at peace with my sports fandom, after that there just wasn't as much eating at me about my teams' past failures, (2) I was more pissed off at the Patriots for playing like and giving the game away. They deserved to lose and I knew it.
After rinnging again on Sunday I barely feel anything about the 2012 loss. 18-1 still hurts tho tbh
If they lost this superbowl after the Kearse catch then that might have been the straw that broke everyone's back from an emotional standpoint. Idk how Brady or Belichick would ever recover from that after already having 18-1 and the 2012 show.
Not sure how invested you are in the Texas Rangers, but the 2011 World Series was the worst sports loss I've ever seen. I don't think a team (in the World Series) has ever had a 2+ run lead twice in the same game in the 9th and extra innings while also being one strike away both times and proceeded to lose.The 18-1 Super Bowl was horrible.

Absolutely soul crushing.
the 2001, 2002, and 2003 NFL playoffs were all pretty brutal. and then the last 12 seasons have been just... lame
The most soul crushing losses in North American sports have come in baseball. There is nothing worse than being a strike away with a lead and blowing it. And since the game has no clock, no lead is ever safe.

The game was designed by sadists.
It might make sense in places that have never one anything and get so close, but you just won last year, Seattle. Settle down.I used to feel this way about sports in my teens and younger, tbh..nowadays, it'll annoy me for the rest of the night, but I'm over it by the next morning, outside of trolling purposes/internet bragging
