Things don't always have to happen the way they do but they do happen the way they do.  We can't change the past and we can't always predict how those changes would have affected the outcome even if we could have made them.in the very short term sure.  If he would have caught that pass we would have scored a TD but scoring that TD doesn't mean we would have won a game we lost by 5 points because by scoring that TD maybe the other guys would have done something different and scored another TD of their own. I've found that "things could be worse" is not a bad philosophy to live by.  Its not an excuse to be complacent because the flip side is "things could be better" and that could and should be a motivator to make it happen.If you could change something that happened in the past you should only do it if you are prepared for things to be worse off than they are now because there is no guarantee things would be better.</blockquote>
