Be honest here....

Haven't willingly missed a snap in years. I say willingly because of things like the Dallas game where the network switched games.  But then I'm the kind of fan who typically watches every snap. Even 41-0 I watched the whole thing. 

I cant take the poll cause I couldn't watch the game live...

Lets just say I started watching the DVR at the start of the 3rd qtr, after hearing the shit show that was the 1st half. I dont need to witness that on top of my Viking mountain of trauma. 

The question I ask myself is, would I have stayed for the whole game if I was there? 30/donut at the 1/2 is too reminiscent of 41/0 and 31/8 NFCCG's of the past. 

Those are big triggering events for my fandom, it's 50/50 I would have left yesterday at the half. 

Now I did stay for Favre to Lewis and Keenum to Diggs...So there is some stupidity or bravery left in these bones. 

I couldn't believe what I was seeing in the first half and was too stunned to move and in the 2nd half I couldn't believe what I was seeing and still didn't move  =)

At any point in yesterday's game did you quit watching?  Even if you came back at the end,  how many saw the entire game?

I watched the entire game.  Why? I have no idea...

I never left my spot in the stadium,   every single agonizing play in the first half and every nail-biting, clock watching, snap in the 2md half.  I did have a father and young son colts fans behind me that flew in from Baltimore for the game that made my misery more bearable in the first half since that poor kid got to see his team actually kicking ass,  so it was nice to see his joy,  felt kinda sick for him at the end though.   Thankfully his dad pulled the plug before our final drive in OT as nothing good was likely gonna happen for the colts at that point.

i never quit on any game.  I learned this early when i was at a college game and people left the stadium in the 3rd quarter.  Of coarse my team came back and won.
If all you want to see is your team win, thats fine but you miss out on the greatest games you could ever see.  Come backs are so sweet to live through and be there to enjoy with your fellow fans.

I lost interest and came back, but I was also at work delivering mail, and following via Kfan and CBS sports online.  My lovely wife did me a favor by stopping the dvr recording at halftime...

I stopped the dvr mid 2nd quarter, took the Labs for a long walk at 0-30, then watched w/ a jaded eye the rest of the game…  :p

I am like PurpleFaithful but with a number of twists.  I had to attend a funeral in the morning (LA, so during the game).  I instructed everyone not to tell me the score.  I also recorded it.  As I got home after the game already completed, I put the game on and watch the horrible beginning.  At this point, I was going though PTSD.  As some point early on, I went to check my Yahoo account and saw a picture of the Vikings on the Yahoo landing page.  I didn't read the article or the blip below the picture but I knew something newsworthy had happened during the game.  As I continued to watch, I considered stop watching if this was a historic loss of some sort or a huge injury.  So, I went back to Yahoo, realized that the Vikes had won.  So, I looked forward to watching the rest of the game.  Now, usually I am prompted to record an extra 30 minutes when I record a game off of Sunday Ticket -- I don't recall this prompt off of the NFL channel.  So, I watch the game and the game was tied with the Vikings getting the ball back.  My recording ended.  Now, I wanted to watch the overtime but had not recorded it.  I saw that they were replaying the game later in the night so I recorded it and the following game to catch the overtime.  So, this morning, I woke up, fast forward to the start of the overtime -- and for some reason, they cut the Vikings first possession.  So, despite the greatest of efforts, I still have not seen the entire game.

took a nap at halftime

woke / checked score on my phone and found out they were in overtime - freaked out / ran to the TV.  Saw Colts last two plays and our game winning drive.

i should nap every time our boys play

I really watched it all was in a sports bar where my daughter works  with my sons my oldest left at halftime mad 

Havent missed a live a play since the creation of Sunday ticket. 

sometimes it is torture but its worth it for games like yesterday. 

I recorded it and started watching while it was still on around 1:30pm (hour and half after KO).  I couldn't believe how things were falling a part so horribly.  It just didn't seem to make sense or seem "fair" to me.  Way too many breaks for the Colts in the 1st half.I kept it on and got my lunch then the Vikes scored in the 3rd.  They kept scoring so I kept watching but I had no idea who would win.My daugher-in-law dropped of the grandkids when the Vikes were still down  28-36.  She smiles and says "SKOL!", and then I knew who won.  B)
I still watched them win, and I watched it again today - I'm a sucker for happy endings.
SKOL

I watched the entire game, didn't record it because I never want to see another first half like that again...

Like always I watched the entire game.

My thing is I get upset when they play like they did in the first half so I shut down my social media etc. and watch alone...just me and my tv.

My hobby is Lego. I watched all the plays but certainly spent more time in between plays sorting bulk Lego. 

I was going to go out and push snow at halftime, but the chair and fireplace were too comfortable.

Watched the whole game.  I'm not really a leave early person, only done it a couple times.  When I have it's been later in the game as I want to see how they come out of the half, and by that time in this game, we were coming back and by the time we got our second score I was feeling really confident.
