Now, initially, I thought, "No way I can deal with listening to this crap." But honestly, trying to be as non-homer as possible, I forced myself to listen to the entire segment. It was actually helpful. Honestly, while it sucks for us as Saints fans, if you listen to the excitement in the announcers calling the game, you can't help but feel good for them (sort of, maybe).

My point is, while I can't bring myself to watching the replay, best medicine for me has been to just enjoy whats left of the season, as a pure football fan, and just put the loss behind me.

You are not far off base. I know the EXACT feeling the 49ers and the fans are having right now. I haven't forgotten where WE came from. Reading there forums and hearing all the reports brings back memories of not long ago.

I am not going to be a hater just because we lost. The game we had was what playoff games are suppose to be. They are when every player is trying to play at there best. The folks on here that thought this was going to be a blowout, a walk in the park, were just delusional.

So props to them. We tried as hard as we could but in the end, it was our defense's job to stop them and they failed.

Now we regroup and set our sites on being the first team to play in a SB in their own stadium!!
