I have to work on Sundays, but don't start until 4:05pm. I watched the first half at home and will admit to being quite pissed off. It almost felt like they were sleepwalking through this one. I left for work at halftime so I could catch the second half there. I managed to calm myself down before arriving just before the kick-off. As soon as I walked into the driver's lobby, I heard all about it, how they were finally showing their true colors. There are a lot of retired military working there, so we have fans of all teams. I told em "Bite my a$$! Their going to pull this one out!"

I will admit to stressing quite a bit as they mounted the comeback, but never doubted. As the game was winding down my only concern became whether or not I'd be able to see it. Turned out I had to go start pre-tripping my bus as regulation ended, so I knew I would have to wait to find out what happened. As luck would have it, a supervisor was at the Lakewood Sounder Station when I arrived to start my first trip. I quickly shut the bus down and ran over to find out what was happening. He was laughing at me and said he was about to drive over to let me know...they pulled it out! He laughed even harder as I did my little happy dance.

I was at the game, I wasn't concerned about losing as I always feel our defense plays better against Elite QBs and Tampa Bay was playing with nothing to lose. Anyways, after the interception, I was getting worried, but does every game have to be so dramatic. Granted RW lives for these situations, but not me:) Going into the game without Sidney, I knew the offense is not going to click when we have Baldwin playing the role. Height, quickness, rhytm and learning Sidneys plays is going to be difficult the first week. I never expected the blow out, but I expected the defense to play better from the beginning and having some turnovers. After seeing the refs calling everything, I felt like they were influencing the game rather then letting them play. It was highly disruptive.

I told anyone around me who would listen in my section that they were gonna come back and win the game. Of course, when they were down 21-0, I was more in shock than anything.

I was at home. The game got so bad I turned the TV on mute while working on a project and then I peeked at the TV every 30 seconds or so and looked away if something horrid was happening :mrgreen:

Good thing I don't keep copious quantities of booze around, as I would be a drunk.

Man wish i was at the game like many of you. Live in KC now and was at choir practice for church and then off to a mandatory volleyball parent/coach meeting for my kids team i coach. Anyway I'm peaking at the score on my phone during choir. My wife's the director and looking at me like, "i know what you are doing, but it's cool because you are here supporting my choir and I know how much the Hawks mean to you."

Well it wasn't cool because i was jinxing the team by peaking at a church event. I saw the first drive stats. We moved the ball well and Lynch had like 43 yards on 4 carries. Awesome feed the beast sauce! Almost scored but threw a pick. Then the Bucs score. No worries. I peak a few minutes later and its 21-0. I say, "Oh crap!" A little too loud. Wife was not smiling then.

Right then and there i thought, "If i don't peaky-peaky again I know, I know they will come back and win. If i do peak they are screwed and will lose." So no more peaky-peaky time till we got home. I turn on the TV and see the highlights. BOOM! Done shun. I learned my lesson for sure. Go Hawks!!!
