a preface so you understand some things before reading my post....
i am 23 now and have been a die hard fan since i was roughly 9-10.
i have visited this message board religiously for years.
i acknowledge this is all probably a rant over flooded with pessimism, depression, and just plain bitterness.
but i have no one who sympathizes. and no one who can even begin to relate to how it feels. i hope you all can...
I just still cant get over it...being so freaking close to winning the superbowl. Less than 2 minutes away. Ive only been a diehard fan over a decade and its pretty much the worst thing of my life. ive never cried so hard over anything. im not ashamed to admit it. even today if i think about it too much when alone i cry.
ive been dealing with depression all my life. and the fact that our team...a team with a history of being among the worst in the league...makes it all the way....to lose like that...just really hits me hard with how bitterly unfair life is. i dont complain about refs. or feet inbounds. or anything about that game, we just lost. to a team that always wins. and it just hurts and frustrates me.
the pessimist in me then goes to thinking how we may never get a chance like that again. how long have the jets been waiting to return to the superbowl? i try and be hopeful but its just hard...when pretty much everything possible went right for us and we were in the best imaginable position to win it all...and still lose.
i am saying this here cause i know you all will agree with me to a point. not just spout an optimistic line or two.
i am so excited about this season. we have a good chance to repeat as division champs.
however,
its gonna hurt to my dying day. or until the day they actually win it all. whichever comes first
cardinal fan forever no matter what nonetheless.
ps - calaise and early are my guys to make a splash this year. early will do it wether boldin is on the team or not. just my bold prediction.
pss- i know it must be even worse for the veteren fans. the 50 year fans. i know i am probably just being really dramatic. but i just cant help it.
if this all comes out as seeming really stupid/childish...please dont razz me too much.
go cards
