overreaction is an amusing thing

This just in. The Jaguars suck. They should have been in the Vince Young Bowl (because Reggie Bush sucks now too), but they couldn't even get that right. They never should have got on the plane to Boston. Tom Brady is the second coming. David Garrard is the third coming. Byron Leftwich is the anti-Christ. Jimmy Smith and Fred Taylor need to be put out to pasture.

Geeez people, get a grip. Did anyone really think we were going to the Super Bowl this year? Sure, we hoped. I hoped. I thought we stood a chance in Foxboro. Even with all we had riding against us, I still think we did, but it didn't go our way.

Yeah, it wasn't pretty. Yeah, the third quarter got away from us and made it ugly. Maybe I'm looking at it all through teal colored glasses, but we aren't all that far off. We need to get healthy. Face it. Most teams that get to, and win a Super Bowl have a lot of luck in the health department. We didn't this year. Donovan Darius hasn't played since...hell I don't remember, but it was early in the season. Nick Sorensen didn't play the last half of the season. Brad Meester, too. Byron played hurt, and so did Mike P., Reggie Hayward, Paul Spicer. We limped into New England on a prayer. As much as I wanted to hope that didn't matter, it did. I think the experience was valuable. I think it left a nasty taste in everyone's mouth...one they want to get rid of. I think that's a good thing to carry through the offseason.

Overall, the weekend wasn't a good one in the lumberyard, sports team-wise. On top of the embarasssment in Foxboro, the team from the little Main Line Philly school lost as well, and this morning, the car pool was....well, smug little Steeler fans.

This too shall pass.
