When Your Team Loses in the Playoffs...
... how long before you get over it?
My team lost on Sunday and I'm still heartbroken and bitter over it. Heck, I'm still heartbroken and bitter after losing to the Patriots after a 14-2 regular season and first-round bye a couple of years ago. 
Re: When Your Team Loses in the Playoffs...
it has only been a week, although it is probably time to get over the loss to the patriots.
for me it depends on the how they lost, who they lost too, who ended up winning the whole thing, etc.
I'm usually annoyed and upset for a couple days, but there is always next year. When my team gets knocked out of the playoffs I try to shake it off and root for someone else I like.

Like one of the previous posters said, it depends on the circumstances. For me, losing to some teams hurts more than losing to other teams. It also depends on what kind of expectations I had for the season.
I will say this: I had a really tough time getting over my team's losses in some AFC Championship games. I didn't "really" get over those losses until they won a Super Bowl and I could put the other stuff in the past.
I feel your pain on the Chargers. My husband and I were rooting for them this year, because neither of our teams made the playoffs. Now we're rooting for the Colts, I guess.
considering the pats lost in first round, i was dissapointed, but i then i said.. well theres always baseball-
when the pats lost to the giants in the superbowl, i was crushed for a week or so
I never got my hopes up in the first place so I was over it in a day and a half.
It's a survival tactic I have taught myself over a lifetime of Bengals football.
I usually sulk and really mope about it for a few days, and then I get over it and start thinking about next year.
But I'm from Baltimore and I'm an Orioles fan, we're used to losing (frequently) so the Ravens losing this past weekend wasn't as hard to take as one might expect.
OP: You should take it from us. We know what it is like. Be thankful that the Chargers had a winning season and leave it at that
Now we are talking I am a diehard NFL fan!
I am a Titans fan, so when we started out 0-6 this year, I learned how to become graceful losing quickly, lol. We did not make the playoffs this year, so I didn't have to suffer. In years passed, it usually bothers me for a few days. Normally in the playoffs there is another team that I can tolerate so I root for them. This year is actually great. The Saints have been a long suffering team so I am happy they have a chance, it is hard not to like and respect Peyton Manning and the Colts are fun to watch, and the Jets are a great story. Minnesota is the only team left that I would hate seeing them win it.

I'm still not over ND not getting the national championship in 1993 because BC beat them....even though we beat FSU.
but pro things I get over quickly
DH, on the other hand, is still ecstatic about this. Apparently our children have three choices as to where they will attend college if they want him to pay for it: 1)BC, 2)BC, or 3)BC
It depends on the game, I suppose. The Patriots play like crap in their playoff game a couple of weeks ago. It was truly embarrassing. I'm still mad about that. I guess I've been spoiled with the Pats doing so well in the past several years. Sometimes I wish they'd go back to being sucky like the good ole days so the losses were easier to accept. LOL.
Don't even get me started about the Red Sox. It's a perpetual letdown every year.
I'm still not fully over when the Mavs blew their NBA Finals lead against the Heat and lost.
For the most part, it takes just a few days. But if it was a bad loss [as in, the team didn't show up or got cheated out of a call that would've made the game], it takes a little longer.
I'm OK with it, too. Even if the Steelers had made it, they would have been eliminated quickly. As I look back on this season, I think more and more that it was over as soon as Troy hurt his knee.
