In the immediate aftermath I was angry about the awful officiating but soon after I was almost apathetic. Just very numb. Didn't watch the Eagles blow out and was in bed at like 830 pm after a pint of Ben and Jerrys lol
Yesterday was definitely the depression stage... I wasn't walking around crying... but I avoided as much football related stuff as possible for most of the day. Kept replaying certain situations in my head...
I've moved on to acceptance by today as any sane football fan should.

It is just a game after all. One we all didn't compete in personally.
Imagine the gut wrenching feeling our boys feel.

Every year 31 teams and their fans are disappointed.
We were lucky to be some of the few that were disappointed much later than others. And after a decade of being god awful we should all take some enjoyment from getting as far as we did and our team giving us a reason to cheer thru December and into January.

I don't grieve because of a game.

Disappointed?  Certainly.

Sad?  Not really, there's always next season and I had a good season of entertaining football.

Angry?  Not really though the case can be made that the officiating crew was horrible.

Acceptance?  It happened immediately when the play clock went to 00:00:00.

It's best to have this outlook, but I didn't get there until 3-4 hours after the game.  I sat in the dark for those 3-4 hours with my blood boiling, I couldn't even think straight. I didn't watch the NFC Championship and told myself I wouldn't watch the Super Bowl, but now I'm thinking I probably will. It sucks to be so close like that, but it is what it is. It's just a game and there's always next season.

I'm not watching the SB.
Which actually has less to do with the refs/Pats and just a general "football'd out" feeling.
I don't care to watch another Patriots SB victory. And couldn't care less if the Eagles win. I haven't missed a SB since my childhood. But this season was so draining emotionally with the ups and downs and the "almost had it" feeling at the end.
Just not feeling the Senior Bowl, Pro Bowl, or SB....
