I have a family because we lost to the 49ers in 2012
My six year old son, who isn't yet a diehard, asked me to pick him up and hug him. When I did, he looked me in the eyes and said "I'm sorry they didn't win, but I love you and I had fun throwing the football outside by the fire"
Suddenly, I don't feel so bad.
This one will sting for a while, no doubt...but in the end, we are all ok and got two extra weeks of football that seemed pretty improbable after our 0-2 start.
