I Still Can't Believe We Lost

When Burfict intercepted that ball, I literally started crying in happiness because the game was over and started thinking about where we'd go downtown after the game and how easy it was going to be to get laid (we were at the game).

Then the fumble on a play that I wasn't even paying attention to because I was gathering everything up to roll out and wanted to leave that second to beat the crowds.  

I was still thinking "ok, that's still a long way to go to even get into field goal range."  

Then Burfict's penalty and then Jones'.

I was just sitting there in disbelief and couldn't move.

Then they kicked the field goal and I was crying in sorrow.

Sorry I'm not sorry.

It still doesn't seem possible.

I was less surprised because it was pretty similar to the way we lost the game in AZ earlier in the year (and in prime-time, no less).  

- Offense fails to stick the dagger in them
- Defense allows opposing QB to hit targets we KNOW he's going to go for (Ben targets Brown, Palmer targets Fitzgerald...shocker!)
- It's no lock their QB puts them in position as AZ has no timeouts and 50-some seconds, and Pig Ben can't throw the ball more than 15 yards)
- But just to make things easier on them we supply unnecessary penalties to ensure they have a clear shot at a game-winning FG
- ...which they make.

It looked pretty familiar to me. To quote a sit-com dad "I'm disappointed, but I'm not surprised."
