The Agony of Defeat

I ruefully admit I was a late comer to the 49ers bandwagon this season.  I don't like Jim Harbaugh's arrogance, thought Alex Smith a complete bust and didn't get to see much TV coverage of their games so didn't see the vast improvement.  I've always suspected a conspiracy when it comes to broadcasting the Niners in the LA market. Rarely are their games broadcast unless it's a national feed and even then it's the third level broadcasting team.  Well, yesterday after one of the BEST ever football playoff victories to get to the NFC championship game, they came oh so very close to going to the Super Bowl. Brutal loss but no one to blame but our collective selves.  Some bad play calling, horrific turnovers, (they always bite you in the ass), some ego fueled stupidity and the undeterred desire of Eli Manning. An overtime loss at home when you are so close. Painful. So painful. Take stock though. We are BACK!
