As I expected, the 49ers lost to Seattle in Seattle. And since Detroit won, the 49ers are out of the NFL playoff picture for 2014. And you know what? I feel fine.
Sure, I would have loved to see the 49ers compete for another Lombardi trophy, but the Quest for Six will have to wait another year. With all the injuries suffered during the Seahawks game, the penalties (some questionable), and the poor execution and play calling, it just wasn’t meant to be.
I came to terms with the fact the 49ers weren’t making the playoffs last week after the Raiders loss. Given how bad the Raiders have played this year, there was no reason they shouldn’t have walked out of O.co Colosseum with a win.
Of course, as much as I enjoy watching the 49ers win, and I occasionally feel depressed when they lose, I have to remember: it’s just a game. Whether they win or lose, it does not materially change my life. I still have my family, my health (which is generally improving), and everything else that’s important. It also doesn’t change my faith in the team.
I’ll enjoy the last two 49er games of the season and go back to whatever it is I do when it’s not football season, which is: live my life.
