It helps to come on here and vent with other fans, even if we argue sometimes. Thanks Reality

As other posters have alluded, I dont even feel these losses anymore

That's how I am anymore. I remember in the old days, I expected to win every week. I'd get depressed after a loss. Not anymore. I expect nothing more than 8-8 so I don't get down. Just wait for the next game.

I was playing high school football in the DFW area when the 90's Cowboys were winning all their SuperBowls. I was about as hardcore a fan as there was. I still remember being physically ill when the 49'ers beat us in the NFC Playoff game and went on to win the Superbowl.

Today, this team, this mediocrity is simply not something I accept or really care to be a part of. I just got back from 9 months in Afghanistan. My time and life is too important to waste on a team with leaders as pathetic as Jerry and Garrett. I'll watch perhaps 10% of a game, read the forums to relax sometimes, but when the product is this poor, with coaching this bad, with no chance of improving I am not emotionally invested.

So, a win or a lose matters not to me. When this team wants to give something more, then I'll give more again.

I'm not disgruntled about this individual game as much as what I believe this one game means going forward.

It feels to me like this was just Seattle allover again, getting beat in every phase.

And it has created in me anyway basically the realization that this team isn't going anywhere and that it will probably be years down the road and a lot of changes before we actually have a chance to. It sucks.

It makes me beyond angry to hear Jerry and Stephen repeatedly speak so highly of the other teams coaches. I mean if Andy Reid and John fox and mike shanahan and sean Payton and now mike frigging McCoy are so good then hire them they have all been available.

It's sickening, people are paying 350 a ticket, 50 for parking 8 bucks for a beer etc....they have more cash than anyone, use it on the best you can hire and let them fix the damn organization.

But that won't happen and I am scared to death we are going to wake up in February watching a press conference announcing mike fringing Zimmer as the next coach. Yuck.

I really think I should just care a lot less and do something else.

Oh and to the original question, it doesn't really go away because all these losses which are all the same are constant talking points and used in comparisons.

This looks to be a poor team with its best player not himself again in ware and an offense being forced on a group of guys who don't seem to be able to get the most out of it. then throw in guys like Escobar, Hannah, Dunbar who get talked about for months and then are ghosts in games.

Oh and the 56 yd fg might be the clincher to Garrett's career here.

At this point with the head coach we have, any win is a pleasant surprise. Any loss is met with 'well, we weren't going to win the super bowl anyway and if we were to make the playoffs it would be one-and-done.'

I used to pout but having seen this sort of stuff go on with the team for as long as I can remember now, it doesn't even phase me anymore. I'm already looking past the L we're gonna get at the hands of the Broncos to a potential win against the Commanders.

I remember watching the first NFC Title Game with the 49ers in the Johnson era. I was so nervous I had to turn the tv off for awhile. lol I understand how you feel though. This team just isn't worth getting that upset over. Mediocrity year after year can do that to you.

I'm aggravated while watching it, but at this point, I have a phrase for the results that we see.

Expected behavior.

By the time I got home from the sports bar, I was over it. 5-10 years ago, it would have taken me until Wednesday at least.

I get super frustrated while the game is being played, but by the end of it I'm pretty much over the loss and wanna move onto the next game. Not gonna lie, it's harder and harder to get up and deal with Mondays and Tuesdays, but that's probably because of my excessive beer consumption Thursday thru Sunday. :) To answer the question, Wednesday is the day I get over it really.

I feel it for a few hours after the game but like most on here I've got a family, mortgage to pay and job to do. These things have a way of putting things in perspective.

I've been defeated a long time.

Since the moment I watched the team quit at home against Jacksonville in 2010 it has not been the same for me.

I'm literally not phased by a loss. I expect a collapse every week after a win.

Been seeing this garbage for over a decade now.

How long will it take you to get over this loss?

It's all about expectations. I really thought if we were to win it would be a last minute thingy but really I expected us to lose. I also expect us to lose next week. That being said I'm pretty much already over this loss especially the way Rivers played out of his mind today and we played like crap.

I used to let it ruin my day and often weekend.

Then I had a family and that continued for a while and finally I realized my family deserved better than me being an grumpy unhappy person and I've learned to let it go no more than 30 minutes after the game and get on with my life.

The players are smiling, laughing and hugging the other team right after a loss, then getting in their $100,000.00 dollar cars and driving home to their $1,000,000.00 houses. They don't seem to take losses that bad. Why should I?

I share the same feelings as most. So much mediocrity and you start to get used to it. My anger is tunneled toward the Jones family because they are the reason. Blaming anyone else seems to be a waste of time. I don't like losing. I don't like rooting for losers but as a fan I am forced to.
