The loss in the AFC championship was the worst I was 12 and it killed me. The loss in 03 was a very close second. I really thought that was our year. Sigh

Get a beatdown in the Superbowl by your ex coach and we can talk about disappointment

Didn't care at all.

at least your team made it to the superbowl in the past decade

Nobody cares about #2

This (right down to the same age. Heh.).

I keep telling myself that some day, they'll figure it out & it'll all be worth it (yeah, right...). And I haven't sat through half the crap that most of you guys have....

With what took place today, IF we won today and next week we would have been in.

make that 3. Im too young to remember 1993

This. The outcome today doesn't surprise me at all. In fact I mostly expected it. It doesn't bother me to not make the playoffs because I don't think we're even close to being good enough not to embarrass ourselves again if we were there. Plus.... as I've said before... it's just football... just sports. I'm not going to go into my speech on the subject but I really suggest people that are really bothered by your team losing for more than 10 minutes after the game find a way to let go of it. You have no ownership as a fan. It doesn't change your life. It doesn't reflect on you. I want my teams to win too but if they don't it doesn't honestly matter. Enjoy the wins, let go of the losses. Just enjoy the game. Don't let it bother you so much. OK I went into a partial speech.

I know... easier said than done. It took me a while too.

I have Raiders shirts from the 80's still... I have a LA Raiders sweatshirt that I seem to have out grown....

You young pups are in for some pain if you choose to be a Raiders or Chiefs fan

My God you DO know how to spell it!


:D

Believe me I've tried....I think the length of loyalty makes it harder to put aside. Kind of like an addiction to cigarettes-you know it's bad for you but you just can't quit. :D

I watched a film on the holocaust and I have a 4 year old that I'm preparing Christmas for so that that kind of put it in perspective for me. I try to watch things like that to remind me how lucky my family really is.

In the big picture this was nothing but it still was painful.

I watched SB IV live and almost every game since. If you're dwelling on losing today at this point you need to get a life. Go walk into a hospital and you'll see real pain. And real life.

Ok, I hate the raiders, broncos, and chargers. I hope they all get antifreeze in their gatorade coolers.

I'm over it now. Really.

anyone who was hurt by this loss needs a history lesson on our shitty teams through the years
