To start, I honestly don't think the over reaction that we have seen here is nearly as bad as in the past at .Net. I applaud you guys and gals; this is generally considered a bad loss when you lose to a 6 point dog, but yet most foiks are taking it in stride. It's never going to go totally away, as some people are passionate and emotional about our team and their personality is a knee jerk reaction. It's all good, as it takes all types of fans. Typically, these folks are screaming till their lungs bleed at a home game, that's what passion gets ya.
I theorize that what bothers most of us about this loss (I had to self analyze, but count me in this group), is that we were considered one of the favorites to go to the SB last year, and we ripped off what, 6 wins to open the season ? Now, we're the defending champs, we're one of the overwhelming favorites to win the SB, we've gotten tons of media love, and here we are at 1-1.
I honestly think some of us were too arrogant. I read a lot of posts dismissing the fact that we're going to get teams' best shots each week "we got their best shots last year" and "our best shot is better than anyone else's best shot, i aint skairt". Sometimes, their best shot doesn't coincide with our best shot. It's tough to win in the NFL.
I just wanted to pat everyone on the back. This seemed to be a fairly reasonable week after a loss. I think it's a good thing, an attitude adjuster, and we're going to be pissed off at that poor Broncos team. Go Hawks !
