Nothing personal against you, but I see this a lot in fans. I am not sure why people somehow get their rocks off living in the past, grinding their teeth on something like the tuck rule game. It seems like pointless masturbation to me.

I am a longtime football fan and a Pats fan, and the Patriots didn’t lose that game last night because of that terrible call.

They lost the game because they fumbled the ball going in for a score, and they committed some bad penalties at key times.

They are a good team that didn’t play up to their potential, and were beaten by a good team that did play up to their potential.

That’s it.

It was a hard fought and entertaining game with the better team last night winning.

Someone who understands that would view the game as entertaining regardless of who won the game. In a season filled with completely mediocre football, that was a fun game to watch.

But hey, if someone wants to base their enjoyment of football based on a game played over a decade ago, good luck to them.

That's why I want my fellow Seahawk fans to quit griping about the officiating in our Super Bowl loss to Pittsburgh, and why I wish people would shut up about the Golden Tate catch at the end of the Seahawk-Packer game last year.
