They've had exactly one opportunity like this in the entire history of the franchise. It may not happen again, soon or ever. This was their moment, their shot, and they blew it. Completely. End of story. There is no silver lining. There are no moral victories. Nothing positive comes out of this. Not right now. Maybe it's a building block. Maybe it's not. Only thing we know for sure is that they've now all learned what Andy, and Marty before him, knew better than anyone: what it feels like to get humiliated on the biggest stage during the biggest game of your life. Maybe not wanting to feel like that again will help down the road. Or not. Either way, you just gotta embrace the feeling today. It sucks. It's supposed to.
