GAME OVER!!

49ERS LOST!

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS LOST!! Damn it! I expected them to win. I knew they were going to win... AND THEY LOST!!!

I saw a vision, or whatever you call it, that the SF 49ERS were going to win this year's Super Bowl! I see colors, actually, flashes of colors. Usually in the past, many many years ago, when the SF 49ERS were a dynasty, I would see colors of teams that would go to the Super Bowl. Sometimes, I would see one helmet or 2 reaching the Super Bowl. Sometimes, I'd know who would win ahead of time. Other times, I wouldn't. If the 49ers were not in it, I wasn't interested, so I didn't care who'd win, who won, or if my predictions were right or wrong. But if the 49ers were in it, and, of course, they always won, I was always right! 

That was during the 49ERS Dynasty... And that's been longggggg gone! 

... Until last year when Colin Kaepernick took over and took NFL by storm! Nobody knew him. Nobody heard of him. Then all of a sudden, the SF 49ERS were alive again! Of course, it started 2 years ago when Jim Harbaugh became the new coach and brought the team to the NFC Championship twice, winning last year's and getting to the Super Bowl with Kaepernick.

So this year, there was new life, new hope, for the San Francisco 49ERS... with the new starting quarterback Kaepernick! And this year, too, before the NFL began, I saw colors again. But this time, I didn't just see different colors, different teams. I didn't even see 2 colors nor 2 teams. I saw only one color, and not just one color, I saw only one flag (or do you call that banner?), and not only 1 flag, I saw only 1 team - Red & 49ERS!

I knew they were going to win this year's SUPER BOWL. Yes, sometimes I had doubts when they'd lose 2 in a row, and many started doubting Kaepernick, while the Kansas City CHIEFS kept winning with former 49er, Alex Smith, and people started comparing the 2, even raging about letting Smith go! And since the CHIEFS were also red, I started to think that maybe, it was the KC CHIEFS who would win the Super Bowl. But then, they'd come back with 5 wins in a row, too. Then I'll remember that it was a Red & 49ER Flag that I saw and would see time and time again after. And so be it, 49ERS for sure! And...when the CHIEFS were eliminated in the Wild Card, of course, the 49ERS were the only red team left in the Wild Card/Playoffs. Not only that, when they were down to the remaining 4 teams left, it was the teams' flags that would be shown on TV and that's the 49ER flag I saw in my vision!

Whenever I have visions, preminitions, etc., the most important thing about them is what I experience at the moment. In the case of the 49ERS, for example, I didn't feel anything. It was beyond it. I just knew it. I didn't always know in the beginning how they'd do it since they were so inconsistent sometimes that you wondered if Kaepernick was really good or not. Yet, at the same time, I simply knew. As the games advanced in the playoffs, I knew they'd win each game. And they did!

... UNTIL the morning of the NFC Championship Game against Seattle SEAHAWKS. My feelings changed... YUP! MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE OUTCOME CHANGED!! And when things like that happens, when fear, anxiety, or anything bad creeps in, no matter how I fight or deny it, something's gotta give! And this morning, something told me, "The SEAHAWKS can win this."

When I first saw QB Russell Wilson being interviewed in preparation for the week's NFC, he was wearing a red T-shirt, which is not his team's color - Ummm, I didn't like that. It felt ominous. I didn't like it at all. There was something about him that told me that his team "can" win. To tell you the truth, I liked his demeanor! I don't like the SEAHAWKS, naturally, but there was just this quiet confidence in him that "knows" he can bring his team to victory. I tried to fight the feeling and, somehow, I managed. I overcame.


RIGHT... Well, game is over! DAMN, DAMN!! For a moment there, I thought the 49ERS would prevail. When Kaepernick threw the ball to Michael Crabtree, I thought that must be the winning throw, and as the ball flew, I thought that is going to be the winning catch...

But, oh, Kaepernick, my Kaepernick, what did you do?! You had plenty of time left. You didn't have to rush. You shouldn't have. What a terrible mistake! Forget the turnover and the fumble before that. There was plenty of time. Damn it!!!

The NFC Championship game was truly exciting! It was anybody's game, especially with a toss-up between my knowing 49ERS will win vs. my feeling SEAHAWKS can win!


The city of San Francisco was quiet tonight...
