Defense started to show up before half.  Great finish.

I did...  I started watching a different game after Abdullah fumbled the kick return just before half...  then I saw Sendejo picked it off when I was checking my FFB team...

Told myself I'd watch the start of the 2nd half and if we scored, I'd finish it out.  

What a game!!!

Both of my dogs slinked off to the sunroom...

Not me.  But I kept following it on my phone.  Then I didn’t dare watch it for fear I would jinx it.

I briefly turned the tv off but had my phone nearby. My son turned it back on and the rest is history.

Character building game?  For the team, not the fans.  Zim told them not to panic and they didn't.

I did. I didn't want to, but I did. 

Best part- My daughter came in, and we scored our first TD. I said, "Stay there. Can I get you anything? Get comfy." I made her stay in the room! Lol.

I did. But I think there maybe a hole worn a hole in my carpet from pacing back and forth.

Do people really do that? Quit watching???
Fair weather/bandwagon fans I guess.

That's odd I talk harsh, about under performing Coaches and players.
Have been accused of not being a true/real fan.
Yet I have never missed any part of a Vikings game.

I got a lot of weight work in during the game so that helped relieve stress and tension.

I didn't get home from an extended road trip until halfway through the 4th quarter. Couldn't get the game on my TV until about 3 minutes remaining. All I got to see was a total shit, show overpaid, overrated defense

Was at a bar & grill with my folks celebrating a belated birthday. Dad and I were sitting next to each other watching the game. Mom is a Puker fan and wasn't watching anything. 

At halftime dad says 'if they don't score early in the 2nd half are you OK if we leave'? I told him I'd just talk to Mom and only look up if something positive starts happening. 

That became our good luck charm. I'd look up at the last second, pretend I didn't see the play and have a him explain it to me.

But then I started actually watching that final Broncos drive and nearly ruined it for everyone!

I hung in there, but truth be told I was close to walking the labradors a few times...

Missed only the deep pass to Diggs that setup the 1st TD.  Had to run downstairs to grab something, but didn't turn it off.  

I had a feeling they were going to claw back in it, but I think I probably always hold that hope.
