I'm saying this all as a guy who has been seriously emotionally invested in a few sports for multiple decades. It used to absolutely destroy my weekend if my chosen football (soccer) team lost. My responses to bad results were completely irrational. As I've gotten a little older, I've started to change my perspective a little.
Fact of the matter is we played 4 incredibly exciting games in the playoffs, and won 3 of them. Produced the equal biggest Championship game comeback of all time. Won a first playoff game in 31 years. Won a first road playoff game. Won a first road Championship game. Were one drive from winning our first Superbowl, and being the first actual 'road team' to win a Superbowl.
Why do you guys even watch the NFL in the first place? Because you love the sport. The sport has given us all 4 games we should remember pretty much forever. And your favourite team won 3 of them.
Whether the coaching wasn't perfect, or the O-Line cost us or whatever... fact of the matter is the team left it out there on the field last night and almost won it all. They delivered a great game to watch, and the way we battled away should make everyone proud.
Don't let sports run you down. Remember why they even exist, they're meant to be enjoyed. That was an incredible playoff run, there's no need to look back negatively on it.
