Stress free

It was weird today....I just knew we were going to win.

Even down 14-0, I wasn't freaking out. I kept telling my friends (visiting for the game), "its a four quarter game...just be patient".

Unreal....this team gives me so much confidence.

On the gameday forum, I made a thread saying we lost a game after being up 14-0 on the Packers one January day -- but it got lost amidst all the panic threads.

I was in the same boat. Telling everyone to calm down, they got this.

I watched the game with some casual fans of other teams...
They got down by two scores and everyone was starting to fold it up...
I told them to just relax, Russell isn't going to lose this game...
And they didn't.
Just got to have faith, this ain't the same old Hawks!

Yeah, I was freaking out. Had that terrible pit in my stomach like we'd just gone and laid an egg. My dad kept telling me to remain calm. He was right.

I'm much more relaxed about next week's game, now.

Amongst the "chicken little" threads calling them frauds, I felt the Seattle would come back. I was worried though I won't lie.I mean come on man...down 14 points on the road in the playoffs. Un freaking believable win.

Honestly, I'll eat some crow -- not a whole crow -- but, I will definitively eat some.

When I saw the 'Skins put up 14 points in the first quarter, I started freaking out. I couldn't control my anger, and was saying the same things that I said at the beginning of the season: blaming Bevil and Carroll.

BigDaddyDave = Crow Eaten. Seahawks please forgive me.

Same with my group. I kept saying calm down. Its funny, but the word Calm keeps popping up when I talk about this team. I have a calm feeling every Sunday when I wake up. Its great to be a Hawk fan. On to the ATL

Wish I could say the same. I was a nervous, stressed pile of jello throughout the entire game. Nothing to do with my belief in their ability to win, but it wasn't easy to watch in any way.

 

[Jazzhawk]

I ain't gonna lie...I was concerned. But, strangely, not worried. I KNEW this was not the SOS...Same Old Seahawks.... and that this crew would work their magic and find a way to turn the tide.

It really, really wasn't easy. Man, was it ever not easy. The first quarter was so bad I was very tempted to stop watching but the sense we could pull it off started to creep in when we began scoring. The third quarter was goddamned agonizing as we just couldn't get out of our own way, leaving so many points on the field. Then when we took the lead in the fourth, I held my breath as we went for two.

It had been a while since a game jangled my nerves as much as this one did.
