Aaaaaah!
Date: 2004-12-06 04:32 pm (UTC)That was thee game. Did you see how calm he was as he drove down the field? He was incredible. 42 seconds? Ahhh... that's plenty of time. Let's eat some clock here, lads. No rush. Like taking a walk in the park. This dude could be the guy. He's got the attitude, the poise, the arm.
I was sitting with my mom and sister watching the game, and they were chewing through the floor. They were like, "Why is he doing that? What are they waiting for? Aaaaah! Aaaaah!" I was so impressed, "He's just showing absolute confidence in the team."
Which he was, and they won. It was fantastico!
Ground game not workin'? No problem, put it in the air. Passing game not working? No problem, run it. This is a Superbowl team, no question. The only thing I am worried about is injuries and the New England Patriots.
How many jinxes did I just spawn?

Date: 2004-12-06 04:52 pm (UTC)I dwell on the negative so I need to remind you that the heroic effort was necessary against a 6-5 team. I like Ben (though he needs to learn to throw the ball away if they're going to sack him) and he can get the job done, no doubt. I liked the variety they used to attack. But damn, the defense really let itself be eaten alive. We had them stacked behind their 2-yard line on 3rd down, and Leftwich throws a 60-yard pass. That kept happening, and it was agonizing.
I don't see them beating the Patriots again -- the Patriots are a well-oiled machine. And Ben is still a rookie, no matter what anyone says. The Patriots will be mad as hell in a title game. But we'll see.
They're like the Red Sox of football. How's that for a jinx. If they would just lose, and lose all season. Or win, and win big. Not these horrible well-OK-we're-gonna-lose-OOPS-now-we're-gonna-win-HEY!-now-we're gonna lose.
I was angry at the Mrs. for coming down and watching the game and then I was angry at myself for being angry. But really, the only thing worse than watching them blow the game was having someone else watch me while they blew the game. It really is a sickness.
