I was way less nervous last night than the KC game..anyone else?

Brady_to_Moss · Feb 4, 2019

As the game went on and I saw Goff look like one of the worst QBs in the league and the D flying...I really don't get nervous or feel like I was going to be sick because I knew sooner or later the Pats would score something..even if it was 6-3...Rams O was nowhere to be found

I felt if we were going to lose it was going to be because they kicked more Fieldgoals than us.
Thankfully Greg wasnt booming multiple kicks from 60 plus like I feared.
Gost missed one as did the leg.
Guess we roll with Gost another season.

I was equally nervous in the first quarter but as the game progressed I got more and more confident in the D. I even thought we could win 3-0. But what really eased my nerves was our D was never letting that get out of reach of TB and as it turned out even better that they never allowed the Rams a lead.

The KC game was definitely worse but I was getting super frustrated with this one as we kept missing out on turnovers.

I was getting sick to my stomach when I felt like we blew offensive opportunities. I was a nervous ******* at my party.

In retrospect, the Rams D played great and we weren’t perfect offensively, but that’s why we have a defense a great special teams. I do disagree with some play calls when spreading them out and felt like we abanonded the run game in the 2nd/3rd a bit much. Yet Josh had the smarts to put us in a comfortable play 3x in a row on the TD drive, and let Tom do his thing. Went to Burkhead and 1 WR working short outside so Jules could work the middle and Gronk and WR working the seam route which was gorgeous. Also was diverse in the run game in the clinching FG drive. Amazing schematically to get our OL to the 2nd level.

I'm with you, i thought winning in KC was going to be really tough. The past two weeks was kind of calm. I felt that we would win.

That Hightower almost pick..that CJ fumble that was soo close to staying in bounds was frustrating but man..Goff was and isn't that great

I think the fear comes down to Mahomes having the makings of a great one versus Goff being a glorified game manager (a la Alex Smith). Without Gurley firing on all cylinders, this Rams team is ineffective precisely because the pressure falls on Goff's shoulders.

I'm not sure the Rams will easily recover from this loss with Goff's confidence shook and Gurley likely annoyed at the limited role he played when it counted most. This Rams team was built to succeed in the short term with those major free agent contracts and expiring rookie deals, so I don't see them remaining a major contender in the same regard as the Eagles, Saints, and Bears.

How could you not be? They went ahead 21-17 with like 3 or 4 minutes left in the game. Faced so many critical 3rd downs and then had to go to a coin flip.

Finally in the fourth quarter right before the td drive i thought 'ok, enough of this bs,Brady and the offense have put up points, a lot of points' against tougher opponents. Thats what i got frustrated about.

SammyBlueCat · Feb 4, 2019

It was 3-0 for what felt like forever so to answer the question NO.

PrairiePat · Feb 4, 2019

I was worried because the bounces didn't seem to be going our way at all. We tipped a pass in the first half that would have been intercepted otherwise. Hightower dropped a sure int. The fumble rolled out of bounds. Etc.

But it all worked out

TinhWoodhead · Feb 4, 2019

that game should’ve been the SB

Brady was more excited after that one

I was texting my brother the whole game and it seemed like every offensive drive he’d text “We need points NOW.” But it was one stalled drive after another. Often stalling after a great Edelman play. I just wanted them to have a super short field so we could get that shot in the arm. But we didn’t end up needing it.

First paragraph sums up how I felt. Pats were moving on that defense and blowing opportunities offensively. I kept feeling, teams that keep blowing opportunities usually wind up regretting it after a loss.

But that Pat’s defense was the best Pat’s defense I’ve ever seen. I kept thinking there’s gonna be that one mistake on defense, but it never came. I was nervous all game. I know haters say the game was boring, but those with a horse in the race, had a lump in their throats all game. Honestly I wasn’t as nervous in the Chiefs game, because I thought nobody was gonna beat the Chiefs (especially at home). I thought nobody could stop that offense. I was incredibly happily wrong.

Sometime during the second quarter i thought the way the pats d is stifling goff and the la running game 10 points will win the game. And i sat there watching the 3-3 tie until the early fourth quater and all of a sudden it dawned on me that time was running out and all we had was three points. We had put up points against the chargers and the bears but we couldn't put up any on the rams? This is bull sht. At that point i started yelling at the tv, any they heard me cause right after i yelled at them they scored the TD.

Le Numéro Douze · Feb 4, 2019

I was less nervous than the KC game, but still a little nervous.

I was worried about how many points we left on the field in the first half. I thought that the D did a great job, but that the Rams would come up with one or two scoring drives. The inefficiencies on O get me nervous. Once we scored the TD, I knew we'd win.

Ivan · Feb 4, 2019

I felt good about it because their defense had Goff completely stymied, and Gurley clearly wasn’t going to be a factor. I thought going into it that the Rams would have to blow them out to win, because any 1 score game in the 4th was going to be a big advantage for the Patriots.

FreeCourtroomBrady · Feb 4, 2019

As soon as we beat KC I knew we were going to win the Super Bowl. I didn’t think the Rams stood a chance. I’m also pessimistic so it’s odd I wasn’t nervous.

On a side note it was hilarious that when we were up 3-0 at half the board was melting down saying “Oh no the Rams are going to score a TD on their opening drive, it’s ovah!!!”
Yeah ok.

brdmaverick · Feb 4, 2019

Less nervous than the Chiefs? Sure, but I was still nervous.

Yes, even with GOFF looking like a deer in the headlights.

In both games while the defense looked great, I figured it was like a dam in which once it bursts ITS A FLOODGATE. That sort of happened in KC, and fortunately did not happen here in the super bowl. The teams never got out of the funk, the dam didn't burst.

But I was still super nervous. After all up 3-0, while you are thinking...."Our defense is playing a AMAZING"....the reality is that all it takes is one play.

The Rams almost got a Cooks TD that would have put them up 7-3. I know it's only 4 points, but a 4 point deficit would have felt GI-NORMOUS.
