Just A Game

[Carddan]

Tonight is just a game; just one football game out of one season in a lifetime. It may not be as important as life and death; it may not rival the importance of love or faith. And yet, for some of us, it is about these things also.

We have been fans of this team for many years. We have cheered every victory no matter how rare. We have stood proudly unbowed in the face of many defeats. Tonight we can cheer as Champions again. For the second consecutive year we can claim the title of NFC West Champions.

I savor this opportunity. I desire this victory. We do this together. Enjoy it for what it is!

This thread is confusing.. How can it be just a game and then have said what was said?

Dan, glad you feel better about this game than I do. I'm very nervous about this one & felt good about game #1.

Such is life: a paradox defined.

Gee, I can't believe you stated this. Just look at your avatar, the girls are saying the exact same thing.

reminds me of the famous quote

“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.”
Bill Shankly

btw football = soccer in this one

I agree. The team's been talking about maturity and business trip, DD said it's payback time. Articles about how they were short players (Q) the first time.
It's a big Monday Night game for the Niners too on their field! And they are still somewhat in the playoff picture.
I don't like this feeling in my gut.

You see, I'm not "predicting" victory. I don't think it will be easy. I do expect our team to show up and do their jobs. I believe we have the better team and will play like it.

I'm with ya' CardDan...

Tonight is about....OPPORTUNITY!! I like our chances. We're playing well. BUT I have learned NOT to "celebrate" too soon. Let Life "surprise" you. WHY was the BIG WIN over the Vikings so SWEET?? We didn't see it coming! I watched in AMAZEMENT as we slowly, but surely, took a strangle-hold of the game. With about 8 minutes to go, I KNEW it was ours. So, tonight, we have the chance to do something SPECIAL! GO CARDS!!

I think of tonite's game as more than a game, "just a game" Carddan, though what you said was quite eloquent. We can clinch the NFC West, and as DD said, it means more to the team as well..

Thank god this is just one game.

Thank god this is just one game.

These games feel like a three game losing streak.

not the end of the world
hope 49ers lose to Eagles next week
and we can beat Lions or Rams, we'll be again the NFC West champions
but seems we'll remain seed #4 after all
