We'll be back in the Super Bowl next year folks

[stankowalski]

Barring any significant injuries, I don't see any reason why we won't be back next year.  We are a young team and only getting better.  Remember we got here without KB.  We upgrade right tackle, grab another pass rushing D-lineman and we're good as gold.  Our schedule will be tougher so we won't be going 15-1 most likely but I think we'll win the NFC South for our 4th consecutive title and grab either the 1 or 2 seed.  Might as well pin this.

If Shula is still around all bets are off.

[DeeJay]

Shula will be gone don't think they keep him

Sounds good to me.  You know this team is gonna wanna feast even more.  Watching the Bronc celebrate is going to make them want it sooooo bad.  If healthy we are the team to beat in the NFC.  PERIOD.  Cam will be better.  Kelvin is back and we definitely learned a lot tonight.  We know what its gonna take to win it next time.  The 2003 team never got the chance to take the experience and learn from it.  This team is so young.  Franchise QB.  Dominant D.  We will get another chance.  Look what Denver did.  2 years ago, they were embarrassed off the field.

honestly wake me when or if they get there.  I just can't invest lIke this again.

Yeah, that's what every superbowl team says only for them to take 7 years to reach another one. Everything fell in place for us this year. We had a really easy regular season schedule which enabled us to pile up wins, NFC South was sh*t yet again, and we had home field advantage throughout the postseason.

can't promise it the nfc is constantly getting better, that's why we should have got our ring today, by far an uphill battle to get to the superbowl in the nfc

What?  That's what part of being a fan is about.  You take the good with the bad, the ups and downs.  You get to feel all these emotions and it's what makes winning that much sweeter. 

I have every bit of confidence that we are on the cusp of finally winning the Super Bowl and you can bet the ride to get there will make it that much sweeter my friend.

We can make it back but some changes are gonna have to be made.. first get rid of tolbert, remmers, harper, CJ, and cotchery and replace them with better players and we are right back in it.

[Hoenheim]

You can't say something like that. You have no clue what's going to happen next year no guarantees! If this game didn't teach you that then nothing will.

 

[Jackofalltrades]

I thought the same after Super Bowl 38.

I appreciate the optimism and am also excited about the future but it's too soon after a tough loss like this.

Around draft time business will pick back up. Got to let people vent and greive first.

Meh I get that.  Truth is I've been following football for a very long time so I'm used to this feeling.  You just have to pick up the pieces and try again next year.  I honestly think we'll be in the discussion for the next 3-5 year's minimum.

Every time a team loses the super bowl the losing team's fans says this and holds onto it like it's real. And yeah, it never really happens. 

You were probably one of the ones who said there was no way we would lose tonight until the bitter end. There are so many posters like that and its really funny to sit back and read. 

Reality check is that the NFL doesn't just put you back in the super bowl. We'll likely be competitive but there are teams lining up trying to get back there and we were very fortunate to be in this spot tonight. We blew it. We likely won't be in the super bowl next season in fact I think the odds are against it.
