I don't want to get too overconfident and optimistic. I remember how that worked out in 2016. I already had made Super Bowl plans that year after we were 11-1 or whatever with a 4 game lead in the conference. This year we're not even first place. Losing to the most evil franchise in sports history for the 2nd time in 3 years, this time traumatically at home to the organization I hate worse than ISIS, was a traumatizing experience for me at the tender age of 22 years and 10 months.
You've got to understand from my perspective. I was 22 and only a little over a semester removed from graduating from UNT in Denton, Tx. I was living in The Colony, TX. Not in Michigan or even Ohio yet. I had spent that previous summer and fall at a miserable entry level paying IT job at Bank of America in Plano but it wasn't work from home, it was go to the office every day. I got laid off on January 11th, 2017 because I wasn't "doing enough work". So I was just out of a job. I had just bought my first mortgage and house and just moved out of a rental shared rooming house. That whole fall had been a crescendo of surprisingly positive Cowboys football and a romance that escalated in 2016 and then began to ruin after the Cowboys got beat by that 3rd & 20. It was never the same after that. That 3rd & 20 permanently ruined my only serious romance/marriage to date, ruined my desire to stay in Texas, and ruined my career for 15 months. It seriously put me into a state of depression.
For that reason and many others I will always hate the Green Bay ***** Packers more than any other organization in the universe, domestic, foreign or in outer space. It's a deep, deep, dark hatred.
