I'm sure many of us were watching Sunday Night Football. For those of you who weren't, though, the Atlanta Falcons found themselves in a similar situation to the Super Bowl. The Falcons were up by 24 (34-10) late in the third quarter but allowed the Packers to get a score and capture momentum. For those of you watching, I'm curious to know...............
......Were you rooting for the Falcons to collapse again and suffer another humiliating defeat (similar to the Super Bowl)?
Or were you rooting for them to win?
From my standpoint, I was rooting for the Falcons to lock down the game, and this is coming from someone who likes the Packers. Yes, the Packers are my NFC team and I wanted them to win going into the game, but given the circumstances I didn't want them to complete the comeback. Even though this game (regardless of outcome) would be a small blip in NFL history, I still thought that ANOTHER blown collapse (making it 2 in the Falcons' last 3 games) would in some way (even if miniscule) would diminish the Patriots' feat. Not that it should matter, but it would give more weight to the Falcon's imploding as opposed to the Patriots being playmakers (even though it was both). Were others thinking like me?
