After the 2011 San Francisco game, I nearly broke something. Especially when even I could have called a better series. Vernon Davis, one of the fastest athletes in the league and your grand scheme is to put Malcolm Jenkins one on one with him? Jenkins, a man whose biggest knock has always been his speed and you expect him to cover Davis? Obviously the touchdown over Harper and Shanle followed, but just thinking about the game makes my blood boil.

ahh, I was at work Friday Dec 16th 2011, when I suddenly lost sight in my right eye, left work went to emergency room. Was diagnosed with a malignant tumor behind my eye, it was devastating news. Amazing that my 1st question to the doctor was " will I live long enough to see LSU in the BCSCG "
Lol, true story. I'm still here, I have my ups and downs, but I've learned to enjoy and appreciate life, and not sweat the small stuff. I am still a big fan of LSU and the Saints, but it doesn't control my emotions or my moods anymore.

I'm an ole miss fan and honestly after the Texas ATM game
I didn't talk to anyone til the next day. I haven't been that mad over a game since the grizzlies vs clippers when the clippers came back from 27 points.

I got so drunk after 1/9 bama and divisional vs 49ers, so drunk that my family was actually worried about me a little bit.

When next season rolled around, I looked back at that week and I told myself never again will I allow a football game to dictate my happiness and health in that manner ever again.

And so far, it's working out for me.

the way my Dad was screaming and carrying on, you would think the Saints were done for the season and Brees and Payton were lost.

He was flipping out and tossing crap. I blame the prevent and the refs, but still I think we are a top three or four team in the league right now. We didn't get blown out.

How long have you been a Saints fan? Most of us who have been life long Saints fans have had plenty of practice at losing games. Hailmary for Cleveland's first ever win? Panthers in Tiger Stadium? Those were way worse than yesterday.

I'm used to disappointing games in my lifetime of watching the Saints.... The Hail Mary against the falcons, the punt return for a TD to make the playoffs against the Rams, the missed xtra point against Jacksonville, the 1-15 season, the last second TD by the Pats, ..etc... And now I've learned to deal with it ( DWI)... It's all good, just move on to the next game... Live alot longer that way!...

I went back to CBS scene drank with some Pats fans and then headed back to Boston just in time to see Big Papi hit his grand slam, then went out and drank some more.

Even with the loss, Boston has been one of the better road trips I have ever taken. Very nice fans, only complaint is they gave up way too soon. Gillete was 1/2 empty when they won the game.

This game was kind of different for me because I was in Boston for the game. I went out with my buddies and stayed up until last call drinking our sorrows away. It's just a good way to take your mind off of the loss, drinking and joking around with friends. Ideally I would have had a pretty lady helping me take my mind off of it, but I didn't have that option.

Always have fun. The Saints remain in great position. You probably had a great trip other than the game outcome.

Much more of a bummer when your favorite college team loses a game, because the ramifications are generally so much greater. The Pats can lose 3 or 4 games this year and still be in great shape!

Last night I had to endure a brutal train ride back to Boston hearing "who dat?" catcalls from Patriot fans. But there were Saints fans heading out, drinking, having a good time as I slinked back to my room after a quiet dinner. Whats the mindset?

the mindset is that it's just a game and they are able to put it into perspective.
