In general, Seattle fans are in various stages of shock and disbelief, most want Bevel's head and universally there is a feeling the sports-pain of that moment will never, never go away. It's right there with the day they took the Sonics. Only that will get better when we get a team back. This one can never be cured.
It CAN however, be scabbed over if we see the Pats in the SB next year and have a better outcome.
If I may, I think it that if that rematch scenario could play out (entirely possible; a Super Bowl rematch is not unprecedented, the Pats' weak division gives them a short line to title contention in any given year, and Seattle is already the Vegas favorite for the 2015 season) it can be better than scabbed over. Maybe not
quite cured, but very, very close.
I say this because I live in San Antonio, where the NBA's Spurs had a very similar situation going on two years ago. Gut-wrenching, heart-breaking loss of a championship everyone under the sun thought they had in the bag. Then the next year they met the same team in the Championship again and mopped the floor with them, and suddenly all was well. I'm not even a Spurs fan, but I admire the hell out of the team, and I'm surrounded by / befriended by Spurs fans aplenty. They were all tortured by the loss to Miami two years ago, and were all hoping to see Miami again in the Finals last year. Getting their revenge last year--especially in such dominant fashion--has made it almost as if that crushing Game 6 loss never happened.
So Seattle fans can have some hope of getting over this one, particularly if they win a rematch against the Pats in convincing fashion.
