We win the division and get a home playoff game, but our QB get his knee shredded, and
We win the division four years later but lose in the first round to friggin' Mark Sanchez, and
Our QB splits town, and 
Against all odds we manage a WC spot but lose, and
We manage a second WC spot but lose to the same damn team again, and 
We win the division and are favored at home but fumble away the game, and
We manage a third WC spot but all of our receivers shatter into pieces and we lose, and 
We win the division and are within two minutes of sweet revenge before fumbling and fouling our way to an unprecedented loss, and 
We then suffer through five miserable, losing seasons.

Surreal is a good word.

Man, I feel your pain.

I was at PBS for every one of those soul-crushing losses.  I have a favorite (cheap) parking lot 8 blocks from the stadium.  An easy walk before the game but the longest trudge in the world after a loss.  God, I remember those walks.
