It's Over

I suppose I'm about as big a Steeler fan as anybody I know. I watched the game yesterday with my "Terrible Towel" in hand. My belief was we would find a way to win somehow. Even though the team was decimated with injuries I thought we would find a way. I went crazy when we tied the score on a great pass by a banged up Roethlisberger. I felt like we were in position to close the game out in regulation with a last second field goal, before the sack occurred. The truth is Denver made the plays that had to be made to win a game like that. I'm rehashing this for a reason. Many fans of games and teams have a hard time accepting a big loss. Worrying and wondering what would have been if folk were healthy is not productive. Getting down on what has been a great coach for playing Ben trying to get home field and a bye prior to this game is not productive. Ripping our own guys that were out there short handed and played their hearts out is not productive. Not giving credit to a Bronco squad that took advantage of their opportunity is not productive. Just being mad in general because we lost is not productive. About the best thing we can do is take a deep breath and just admit to ourselves it's over. There are allot of things in life that are just like that game. They are not really earth shattering, life changing events, but we make them that way. They don't have to destroy the balance of our lives for weeks unless we allow that to happen. There really are "more fish to fry." Whether it's the woes of your favorite team, or some other mishap that has happened, don't let it ruin what you have before you now. Have a great day knowing that when it's over it's over!
