I hear ya. It is what it is. I come on here every day I'm at work. So I certainly can walk away if I want to.
I suspect at some point it will die down. We all look at it differently, and that's cool. People are angry and worked up, so be it. I was at 49, most angry I've ever been in my entire life. And I knew when that happened, this team would NEVER be the same. So hearing KJ say it didn't surprise me one bit.
It was a TEAM loss. Not just one guy. Now they are working on rebuilding this team, the trust, the whole damn thing.
I'm ready for something new, and it will be fun to watch this team develop.
As long as Wilson was on the team, losing SB49 was going to be an open wound unable to scab over. We as fans were constantly reminded of Russ throwing that interception when we played NE, when we played in AZ, when the team drove down to the 1 yard line, etc etc.
This is really the first time we can properly heal and stop picking the scab. I think this is probably true for the team as well. Look at how many former Hawks were on the sidelines at the game this past Monday.
I think there will still be a lot of attention on Wilson because we have the Broncos draft picks, and the fact that his legacy will always be tied to the Hawks... But I think we we see a lot of the anger die down and be replaced with the indifference you are describing.
