Glad for this board!

It is great to be able to come here and decompress a little before resuming my afternoon. Otherwise, I end up being an insufferable dick to my family and friends on an otherwise beautiful day in the Pacific NW. I'm pissed, but it helps me to get a little frame of reference when I read the words of a few "chicken little" posters here. Kumbaya.

I had that same epiphany when I first joined a couple of iterations of .net ago.

It was after a loss, and I just typed "Seahawks" into a browser and .net came up. Lo and behold, people taking
the loss much harder than me and also people putting it into better perspective than I was able.

I've been a beat-down, hardened Hawks fan for far too long to get upset over losing a 10 am road game against a quality opponent. I knew we weren't gonna go 16-0, and if I chose a game to lose, this would be one of them. We get a pass for this loss, I think. I used to get as angry as a lot of the people on here, but now it's just an "oh, well, we'll get 'em next week". Now if we had lost at home against the Panthers? Yes, I would have been screaming bloody murder if that had happened. But not this game when we're all banged up on offense. The D just didn't come to play today for some reason. They'll get it fixed.

What I thought before the season was we needed to start 4-1, what i thought going into Houston is we need to split these games. The loss was heartbreaking but the team has still accomplished what they need to accomplish so far

BT, you're spot on.

:13: There's a lot of games on the sked that would hurt our playoff chances much worse than this one.

Nobody likes to lose, but I'm OK with 4-1. I mean, how many times in franchise history have we been able to say that, anyway?
