How easy (or hard) is it for you to watch games?

[AKPantherFan]

The question really is; are the games fun for you?

Back in the day 15 years ago when I didn't know anything about football, had not been a coach and not susceptible to the Panthers body slamming our hopes face first in the ground...... It was VERY EASY to watch games....

Now--- I over analyze everything, coach from the couch and always seem to see the bad things that stick out.

Even in our success I am constantly saying we have to get better and I'm still not convinced we have what it takes. ( not saying we can't make it, but this team still has a lot to prove~It's time to BEAT a team in the ground again [Miami])

So for me, Sundays are exhausting.

I miss the days when all I knew about football was the score. The days before I coached, the days when it was a lot easier to be a fan.

How bout you??

I am a nervous wreck each and every Sunday the Panthers are playing.

I'm not sure "easy" is the right word for me.

 

They're fun as hell to watch and enjoy every minute, but I get pretty nervous....knowing if they lose, it will usually lead to a pretty shitty week ahead.

I'm always so friggen pumped during a game that I honestly can't remember certain parts of the game when it's over, And NO ITS NOT the beer. Lol. Just nerves.

with a much better understanding of what's going on, watching games now is even more fun than when i was a kid.

I was basically having a panic attack in the stands during the Pats final drive on Monday.  Beginning with San Fran, these past two games have brought me back to loving and being wayy too emotionally invested in the games haha

I'm usually pissed off yelling unless things are going smoothly

I have to calm down my semi-add self. Like during the Falcons game I had Panthers game on TV, Suday ticket on my iPad, Huddle chat on my laptop and twitter on my phone.

Too much poo going on.

My wife says it's like watching games with Ramsey from the Bud light commercials. "All he does is yell." But we're winning.

I have friends from church that invite me to watch games at their house. I have to politely decline for fear of uncontrollable profanity laced tirades.

Honestly? Very stressful and I admit, I overreact a ton. It pretty much only takes one 3 and out or a Cam pick for me to call it a loss and want to change the channel. Dont get me wrong, its fun as heck and I love watching my Panthers and im slowly getting to the point I can handle the picks and 3 and outs and trust this team to pull out a W.

I believe the more emotionally invested you are in a game or team, the more nerve racking or enjoyable the game is. I will probably find the Panthers vs Dolphins game more enjoyable than the Patriots vs Broncos game on SNF.

This. I enjoy the games a lot better upstairs alone in my mancave. The way I act during games would make other people look at me like a mental case

[PFFC]

Always enjoy watching Panther games, although being a nervous wreck during them is putting it mildly.

That being said there's nothing like watching the Cardiac Cats (a very fitting name I've always thought)...glad they're back!

sundays are the culmination of an entire week invested on this goddamn site preparing for the game. every play is a near-death experience for me.
