Agree.  We barely had any time to enjoy the lead we had before Montana drove for the winning score.  I was nervous with so much time left and when it fell apart, yeah,it was a gut-punch, but it happened in a blink and I was worried from the moment SF got the ball and didn't allow myself to enjoy it for a minute.  

It was over.  No team had come back from a deficit of more than 10 points in 50 of these things, and the Pats were down 25 halfway through the 3rd quarter and Atlanta was rolling.  Yeah, I know, it aint over 'til blah blah blah.  IT WAS OVER!  Read through the posts of this thread at the time.  We all knew it. 

It was over.

Atlanta fans knew it, too.  They had their cell phones at the ready to order their commemorative t-shirt and DVD. People were thinking of what they were going to say to their boss when they called off sick to go to the parade.  People were calling family and friends, celebrating and asking saying things like 'Did you think you'd live to see this day?'  

It was supposed to be over.
