Does being undefeated make you more nervous?

[Bartin]

Makes me nervous but I don't think it makes me anymore nervous than if we were 8-1 and a loss took away our 1 seed cushion or 7-2 and a loss too us out of the 1 seed or 6-3 and a loss took us out of the division lead or 5-4 and a loss took us out of the WC or 4-5 and a loss reduced our playoff chances significantly or 3-6 and a loss nearly eliminated our playoff chances. At 2-7 I'd be numb to losing so I might be nervous that we'd win and ruin our draft position.

I should maybe look into seasonal anti-anxiety medication now that I think about it.

An undefeated season would be nice, but I'd be ok without it... we need to stay ahead of Arizona because going there and winning would be extremely difficult

The Pats are favored/expected to approach the undefeated mark. That would make me nervous as a fan since it is somewhat expected.

The Panthers aiming for being undefeated is different because they are being doubted not only to be undefeated, but to be the best in their conference. In this case the undefeated goal is huge motivation to keep that disrespect motivation going for the remainder of the season and into the playoffs.

I would actually be nervous for a let down if the undefeated motivation was off the table. Did you see the players eyes in Seattle when they realized they were still undefeated with that TD throw to Olsen?

The Panthers could be 16-0 going into the playoffs and I can see several people still saying that the Packers, Vikings, Cardinals, and even Seahawks have a better chance at getting to the Super Bowl if those teams are in playoffs.
