Yeah, I was sitting on the edge of the chair, literally, with my wife hollering at me to sit back and relax!
I could see how they were trying to set up the field goal attempt, and I could see how calm and collect TFB was.
BUT....... as a longtime Patriot's fan, I also knew how often we'd been left at the altar. How many times our games played out in the same way: Get ahead early, fall behind, rally late, fall short. Sigh.
YET..... hope springs eternal, and when the field goal was kicked, and the clock struck zero, I just sat there for a couple minutes, unable to grasp that this team, for whom I have worn the laundry most of my life, FINALLY won the big one!
After that, there was a pissed-off lady next door telling me to shut up as I was standing on my porch hollering like there was no tomorrow.
What a memorable game.
