Every year I get excited about the new season. I listen to and read all the talk from Jerry and the coaches and players and as usual I am disappointed. After all it’s been how many years? Last year I refused to get excited and they actually had a good year until they stumbled in the first round. So it’s a wait-and-see approach for me!
I know exactly how you feel, and I've tried that....a few times.
The last two times I tried to control my brain into not caring as much they had 13-3 and 12-4 seasons.
All it did for me was not even allow me to try to enjoy the ride....because all season long each time it was "doesnt matter, they will be one and done anyway in the playoffs."
I dont ever try to tell anyone how to feel, so please consider it friendly advice....It's a miserable way to be. At least allow yourself to enjoy a decent season and have hope if it happens.
Fair warning lol: I did get a lot better with it last year, and enjoyed things when they were good, and kept hope when they weren't......and was that much more bitter when Lucy pulled the ball away yet again.
But, somehow, someday....all 25 things this FO counts on to go right in a given season, will. Pure math, no?
