I'm Nervous... - New England Patriots Forums

I haven't been able to sleep all night, all I can think about is this game, right now it's 8:30 MT, the game is being broadcasted at 2:30 MT, and I have no idea what I'm going to do for six hours. It's like being in a boring class and you're waiting until p.e. and the clock seems to be moving backwards.

GO PATS!

Nothing to do but wait and watch Seattle lose. We've been here before, just gotta wait the time out . . .

Most of us, if not all of us, know that we gave that game away, along with some very weak officiating...and I believe that, in our minds, this game today is being thought of as the game that will be "payback" for that game...and that we must be onthe winning side, if for no other reason than toshow the rest of the NFL and all the fans of other teams, that they were WRONG, dead wrong about the Patriots...and that the Pats are still the team tobe contended with and have the best, and straightest shot to the Super Bowl.

And, I believe that is, also, in the minds of the players. That, this game is the one that they want to win, moreso than any other, for the purposes as I described above.

And youare right, I feel it too...the tenseness is greater than any game prior to this one.

Not to worry, my friend...WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS....

Nice post, NEM, new NEM.

I get nervous before every game as all the hype you've heard starts to spin out of control.

But remember they are the smartest team in football.

our boys still are the team to beat.

an objective observer would probably conclude that the chargers are the better team.
but our boys have been beating better teams for 5 years now. they may be better, but they still gotta win the game. and IMO 5 of 6 times that i can recall we have defeated the better team. steelers twice, rams, colts once, panthers.
the denver thing is an anomaly. they just have our number., but they are not in front of us.
so the chargers have to beat us. it's on them. not on us. they know that.
i am looking forward to a good game.
warm up the TiVos, folks.

as i recall, AV missed a couple field goals in that denver game last year.
i wish we'd kept him. look at those 5 FGs last nite. but IMO gostowski is more talented, has longer range. he's just not consistent. pats line up for a 50-yarder, gostowski has a 50-50 chance of making it. with AV BB would not even have tried it.

I can't remember a Pats game in the last few years that I went in thinking we weren't going to win, I ALWAYS think we're going to win. And I still think we're going to win today, but this is admittedly the most nervous I've been about a game in some time.

Earlier in the week, I thought we'd win easy & that all the hype was garbage, I was thinking 31-17 us - but at some point, the hype just gets to you, and now I just want them to play the damn game.

i'm a fan from 1967.
we've seen a lot, haven't we.

win or lose, our boys are gonna play like champions.
no rodney, lost 2 FA wideouts, gave away best clutch kicker in nfl history, no junior.
but the task is still on the shoulders of the chargers. they still gotta go on the field and beat us.
so many years, decades, we were the upstarts, trying to roll sisyphus' ball uphill.
win or lose, i am enjoying these years to the max.
THEY gotta beat US.

Just sit back, relax and think about that missed tackle by Hawkins that gave the Jest a TD...no wait. Think about how the Pats controlled the entire first half of the second playoff game last year only to be handed back to the Donks by bogus offic... No wait it is what it is.
