I'm absolutely gutted. Didn't sleep at all last night.
The part that hurts most is seeing how much a championship would mean to this city. It would mean infinitely more to Cincinnati than it does to L.A.. I've never seen this city, a city that I love, a city that I was born and raised, buzzing as much as the past few weeks. Smiles on everyone's faces. The Rams have only been in L.A. for 6 years and have been to the Super Bowl 2x winning 1. The Dodger and Lakers also just won championships less than 2 years ago. We've been waiting over 30 years for anything in this city. Throw in all the other heartbreaks of Kenyon Martin's leg, Palmer's knee, UC losing in the CFB, Hill's fumble and it always the same story. I believe this year's team is different but still couldn't break through.
I know we have a young team and over-achieved this year but still am sick. I hear that we "will be back" and I truly hope so but nothing is guaranteed. We all saw how hard it is to get to the Super Bowl. 5 weeks of 1 play going the other way and we lose. We were so close. It was right there. Who knows if we breakthrough in the next couple years or have to wait another 30+. Who knows if we will ever win one, especially in my lifetime. I'm trying to stay positive but but am absolutely crushed right now.
