re: Imagine the heartbreak of losing a national championship like the Seahawks

It takes 1 full season to get over a tough loss in a title game. Then after that - its back to the title game.

Seattle won't make the playoffs next year. They will lose a few games that should win. They will lose to teams that never ever win championships. They will probably even lose to a one year relevant on the road. They will do stupid stuff - like fumble a couple of games away. Once they are out of the playoffs - they won't care.
