Will you be nervous watching the game?

[A Defiant Goose]

It's weird, I am but I'm not nervous. I'm nervous that they could lose, but I am never worried that they actually WILL lose until it's mathematically (time and # of possessions needed) impossible for them to comeback. It must feel really good being on a team and not pressing the panic button with all the comebacks they've had recently. The 14 points against Baltimore 2x in 2014. The 10 point deficit to Seattle in the 4th. The 2015 AFCCG where our offense got their asses kicked all game and were still knocking on the door of overtime at the end of the game. The Jaguars game this year. They're just never out of it and I absolutely never worry until it's like 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter and they're down more than 1 possession

I shouldn't be nervous, but I always totally am.

On edge all week.....I am nervous in every SB, absolutely.

The worst is trying to find things to do during the day to act like there is not a game on at night. I try to make a big list of things I know I will never get to, but I try to keep super busy to avoid thinking about it.

Only the kind of 'nervous' that comes with the 'any given Sunday' mentality taken to the extreme that goes with a playoff game and the knowledge no team is more than an a key injury away from disaster.

I'm nervous when they play the Jete in a meaningless December game this will be off the charts.

 

[PrairiePat]

Super nervous. I don't want to experience that empty feeling when they lost in 2007 and 2011 ever again. No lead will be big enough to calm my nerves until the clock winds to 00:00.

 

[tasmlab]

Yes! But being super-invested is all part of the fun, maybe 90% of the fun.

 

[IllegalContact]

I am no longer fazed by the outcome......my preference is for the win, but nothing in football makes me nervous any more

I get nervous butterflies before an afternoon game against the Buffalo Bills. Of course I am anxious about the Super Bowl!!

 

[Steve102]

I am as confident in the outcome as I have ever been. Tom has earned my explicit trust. I will be nervous at kick off, but if they get out to an early lead, I will be fine.

 

[Foxypats]

Always ! It doesn't matter if they are heavy favourites or not, I always get nervous watching their games

 

[SalemPats]

I think this is an easy matchup for us. I'm expecting a blowout win. I honestly thought the Saints, Panthers and Rams would have beaten this Eagles team.

I will say that Wentz is a game changer, hopefully we can play them next year with Wentz in the lineup

 

[fnordcircle]

There's nothing extra on the line. Brady has won the most SB rings. We're not playing a team I despise. There's no giant cheater-excuse we have to exorcise. We've witnessed our team win more rings than anyone other than a couple generations of Steeler and Cowboys fans have gotten to see.

Sure, it'd be nice to tie the Steelers with 6 and make them all worried. But eh, I won't be nervous. I'm just grateful to this team.

 

[Uptown]

Confidently nervous!

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

I'm hoping to not be nervous, but that is entirely up to the team and how they perform.

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

Ordinarily the answer is yes, but since we have won SO MUCH, how many here will be nervous and how many will be completely calm watching this?

Even though I am in 'gravy mode' I will have butterflies. I can already feel them coming on now as we wind down to gametime. I will not relax until we march down the field and score, and god forbid we fall into a hole. I know They've proven over and over we should never give up and I won't, but it would be nice to have a relaxing SB for once. If we are clinging to a <7 pt lead with a few min left I will be really really nervous. Hopefully we don't need to watch another comeback either.

As far as having already won 5, I want Tom and BB to keep piling onto their legacies and also dancing on the graves of the other 31 franchises has been much fun. I know the trolling will be relentless when this comes to an end (or if we lose Sunday) but every time we win it so much fun and there is so little anyone else can say and so much material for us to use in response! For that reason I'm greedy and want more.

Patriots are my favorite team;
We're playing against one of the biggest d-bag fan bases ever;
I have a few grand riding on this;
Yet, I've never felt this calm before the big game.
We WILL win this one.

It still bothers me to this day that we lost two Super Bowls to the goober's brother who i feel might be one of the most overrated QBs to win two super bowl. I wouldn't be able to stomach Nick Foles at the podium with the Lombardi trophy. Our defense needs to come up big on sunday.

 

[chris_in_sunnyvale]

I'm in gravy mode, but old habits are hard to break. I care about this team more than I probably should. I'll be nervous, but not butterflies in the stomach kind.

I am so glad kickoff is at 3:30 where I'm at. An extra 3hrs of anticipation might bring out those butterflies.

Regards,
Chris

Not nervous, this will be easy.

Started getting a little edgy yesterday. By Saturday I will be at fever pitch and trying to find anything to do to pass the time.
