After sifting through all kinds of disappointment and disbelief, I realized what made sunday as devastating as it was.
I didn't give the Packers any more chance than the media did to win that game, even though some posters around here had some convincing reasons to be hopeful. Still, I watched the game pretty relaxed and thinking I would be disappointed but OK with a loss figuring they were just a hair lesser team than SEA. Then they dominate for 3 quarters and I think "holy ****! they ARE good enough! they can beat these guys in their invincible house!" A SB win seemed like a pretty good bet. I was amazed. And when it all started to come undone with 5 minutes left, the fall from cloud 9 was much worse than from my sofa. An empire built and destroyed in 3 hours.
