I Kinda Wish The Season Was Over

To be cliche- This too shall pass, time heals all wounds.

A week ago today I was a wreck. It had been just one day after healing Sean had passed, and I was breaking down into tears like once every hour. I'll always, ALWAYS miss that guy. But seeing the funeral, reading the articles and player interviews, going to work every day, focusing on normal life stuff, it hasn't weighed on me as much the past few days. Sean's death is an awful thing, but I can compartmentalize. I don't want the season to be over. I want to slowly return to normalcy, just like the Skins. If we can get a win under our belt tomorrow it will help the healing a lot I think.

My freshman year of college was a nightmare. Just two weeks after classes started, one of my best friends from high school was killed by a drunk driver. Two months later my grandma died just 4 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. And then right after Christmas that same year, one of my childhood friends with whom I played pop warner and little league, decided it would be a good idea to hang himself. Prior to those 4 months I had never dealt with death. And suddenly it was right in my face, 3 times in 120 days. It was so, so hard to cope with all that. I thought I would never recover. But again, to be cliche, that which didn't kill me made me stronger. Since that time I've helped a bunch of friends through times of loss. While I'm no expert, I know the pain of Sean's passing will fade, but his memory will live on strongly.

Now let's go Bear hunting dammit!!!

After reading some of this thread... sorry it makes me sick.

Damn bro. That's a lot of bad shit to go through. Hang in there.

12th I feel the same way. I was at the bills game and just didnt have that same intensity watching the game. I want the skins to win out. but....if they lose every game on out I wont be pissed off. This tragedy has me looking at my wife with more appreciation. And I have dealt with death of a close friend twice. I was drained in the last week to have my favorite player die and my favorite rapper die within 2 weeks of each other. But with all that said .....DONT KICK TO DEVIN HESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Pimp C fan are you?

I just want the team to finish strong just for them to be able to feel good about something as they head into the offseason. Especially Jason Campbell.

But with all that said .....DONT KICK TO DEVIN HESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!Don't kick to Devin Hester should be great advice, but that doesn't mean you, as the opponent, don't want the ball in his hands.

Hester fumbles more frequently than any punt returner in NFL history, so you want him to touch the football. You just don't want him to touch it in the middle of the field where you have the entire field to defend. You want to cut the field in half and attack him with your best special teamers.

i disagree. if you have about a 50-50 chance of Hester fumbling, you probably have a bout a 50-50 chance of him taking it back. he definitely is the bears best offense. i would rather see that lousy Grossman try to beat our defense. that and with the way the giants ran all over the bears d, if we don't see a healthy dose of portis this week, lets all get together and run Al Saunders out of d.c.

This is when I and other fans know our Team can rally and win some games to finish the season in the black and possibe play offs.

Ya'll get some Blue and Silver and hang with sandtrapjack. I bet he LOVES!!!!!!!! this thread

~shakes head
I lhope it's past Sammy Baugh's bed time and he don't read this sad thread

Hail Skins

Mike, I think you're confusing the issue here. We're talking about the human aspect - of losing another human being and how that's affected us.

You're talking about beating the Chicago Bears.

It's a suttle distinction.

I think you are completely missing the point of the thread.

SBF, I'm not asking the guys to mail it in by any means. What would be more redeeming than for these guys to back into the playoffs and surprise a couple of teams? Save the Cowboys and the Packers, I think we're still capable of competing with everyone in the NFC.

It's just tough that's all.
