What a time for a Bronco resurgence. Gaahhh. <br /><br />I can only take consolation in the fact that both the Bears and the Packers are having a worse emotional year, watching Favre eviscerate them both emotionally week in and week out. I want someone else to feel worse than me!!! <br /><br />The only thing you've left out is, for Twelves of our vintage, the pain in our hearts at watching one of our early heroes, Jim Zorn, become the public whipping boy of the Redskin franchise that needs an ownership transplant in the worst way. Snyder is the next Al Davis/Jerry Jones clone, and instead of calling for Zorn's head, the entire city of DC needs to rise up and take back their team. At least our ownership isn't completely enamored with seeing his name in the paper and buying expensive, mismatched free agents. <br /><br />Keep up the good work, DKSB, we true blue (and green) Twelves feel your pain, and thanks for putting it to words for us.Bill McCreadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802586840984641514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-42398587522816833882009-10-21T14:30:55.857-05:002009-10-21T14:30:55.857-05:00Sadly, the losses have become easier to take. And...Sadly, the losses have become easier to take. And that, in itself, is a sign that the team is in longer-term rebuilding mode. Last season's loss to Buffalo followed by that gut-wrenching loss to San Francisco was enough to put me into depression. This year the Chicago loss sucked because I was there. But the last two losses have been easier to take -- and I don't like that. I'd rather be upset when my favorite team loses than mildly displeased. Then again, I feel creppy caring so much.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498092656203868774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-52159724939327417122009-10-21T02:30:22.886-05:002009-10-21T02:30:22.886-05:00Right on, you nailed it.

It's very frustrating knowing how powerless we are, and also knowing that we're a long ways away from getting another chance like we had in 2005, when the NFL decided we weren't cool enough to drink from the punch bowl.stallzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695046066633075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-81681839461838287782009-10-20T20:16:18.629-05:002009-10-20T20:16:18.629-05:00You put words to my thoughts, DKSB.
Last year was...You put words to my thoughts, DKSB.<br /><br />Last year was especially tough for me, because I had such high expectations coming into it. I thought that even with all the injuries at WR we should be able to fight our way into the playoffs, on the backs of our strong D and their 5 predicted shutouts. <br /><br />High expectations and low performance are a miserable combination for me. During each loss, I would become surly to the point of potentially alienating those that I love. Plus with MH leaving (being pushed out) I felt like I was losing a member of my family. About halfway through the season, I came to the realization that I had to detach myself a bit. Now I don't get so low after the losses. But I'm afraid I will not be as high when they finally start winning again.Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440571619024284224noreply@blogger.com
