I know if the Buffalo Bills were ousted in the first round of the playoffs it would have a serious impact on my mood for a few days.  With the Blazers though, I'm actually still pretty upbeat.  This no doubt has to do with the fact that I haven't invested too much time with the team this year, but I think part of it has to do with the fact that this team is super young and nasty talented.  I said a few weeks ago that out "window" officially opens next year.  Perhaps realizing a missed opportunity slipped away will have a greater impact on my psyche.  This year, I didn't expect much, and I liked what I saw.  What about you?
