After the Super Bowl XXXVI loss to New England I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that I was distraught. That loss impacted me in a way that just wasn’t logical. I’ve never rematches that game. That game came at a different time In my life and with a different set of expectations. Although I knew that the point spread was unrealistic, I expected a Rams win back then. The way that that loss unfolded affected me emotionally and physically. Anyway, 17 years later I’m at a different place and my Super Bowl LIII expectations were much different than they were in February of 2002. I was over this loss before I went to bed. The Rams suffered neither a blow out loss nor a gut wrenching collapse. The game hung in the balance right until,late in the 4th. A young Rams team played hard, but lost to as seasoned a Super Bowl squad one will ever see. So it goes.
EDIT: An important factor for me going into this game is that after 16 years of futility, I was just grateful that the Rams even made it to the Super Bowl. As a result I vowed to enjoy and appreciate the moment. So that is another reason for my equanimous reaction to the loss.
