Which feeling did you get ? Or both ?

Up by less than a TD when Brady was intercepted and they moved downfield, I was certainly getting concerned. I think that was the drive when Hobbs made his big tackle down at the 5 - or maybe Seau's. Anyway, yeah, until the Welker TD put us up by 9 I was concerned.None of the above. I never felt the game was in doubt...seriously, did anyone?

You may be the exception. As the camera panned the Razor on Sunday after the 3rd INT, everyone could see a dazed look at NE fans.
No worries, your team is advancing and mine will be licking its wounds.
No excuses, but a different outcome was expected had the losing team had its 3 'star' players healthy.
you must be under 30 to feel that way. Ive seen the so called impossible happen to many times in sports to ever feel secure about anything .None of the above. I never felt the game was in doubt...seriously, did anyone?

You want excuses? Let me recap those 2 games:
December 06 game: Chargers leading by 11 points into the last 6 min. of the 4th Q; McCree just needed to swat the ball and game over; and who's coaching again? Yes, that's right.
September 07: Same players new coaches.

Actually, to my dismay, I realized that was I how I was feeling after the 3rd Super Bowl. So for me the silver lining of the bitter playoff defeats the past two seasons is that the excitement is back.I watched this game with my uncle who is somewhat older then me and has watched way more football then me in his life. That being said, I mentioned to him before the game that I just cant get quite as pumped up as I used to for the Pats games because you always know they will find a way to win.
He agreed with me. Dont get me wrong, I want them to win. Its just a bit harder to get pumped for a game when in the back your mind, You honestly believe they can not loose.
Well during this game we both mentioned that something did not feel right and they could possibly loose this one.
So what I felt after this game was something I did not expect to feel, And that was relief!
Lesson learned here is:
A: Trust your gut
B: Trust the best owner/coach/QB/Team that ever walked the planet.
GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!
JIGA
I'm asking because I was surprised that it was more relief than euphoria for me. As wrong as this is, I think in my mind we've already won the SB and it's relief to find out that I'm not wrong. Again, I know that's wrong but . . .
Oh shut up. You had all three star players healthy each of the last two times these two teams met, and the Pats won both of those as well. I think many would admit we were nervous, I just did above, but don't start a sentence with "no excuses" and then make an excuse in the same sentence. It makes you look like an idiot.
Go lick your wounds someplace else.
