I generally respect your opinion, Kearly, but this is a destiny altering loss. In one play we went from a God-Ordained Dynasty, anointed by numerous Lazarus-esque miracle plays, to a team that may have lost trust in their coaches.
Imagine working your ass off all season, being "All In", playing though injuries, leaving it all on the field, on the cusp of a second title, the endorsement deals, the playoff bonus cash, the Rings, the parades, the victory sex - only to have it all stolen from you by one of the dumbest play calls in the history of Sport. This is an existential, soul-crushing loss penned by Kafka and performed by that moronic rodent, Darrell Bevell.
I don't think the players recover. At least many of those in this group will be permanently scarred. We may make the playoffs in 2015, but I doubt we go far. Our Dynasty is derailed.
