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

it feels like being a horse on electro's farm.

I usually wind up pacing if the game is close... So I had a problem Monday night because we had to go to a bar to watch it and I had to stay in my seat. Fortunately tomorrow I can watch at home.... and pace, if needed.

Yep. I'm a pacer too

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??

Just focus on the ball, the rest will take care of its self and it will make it way easier to watch.

I actually listen to the radio and do shots of jager with a beer chaser...Mick and Eugene give me the homer view and there's a delay so i can check out the play on live tv if want too.

 

pretty pathetic but that's were I'm at this year...

Depends on how much I've had to drink but usually I can get to the couch and find Chanel 7xx pretty easily

In the 3rd and part of the 4th quarter when Brady was standing in the pocket with open passing lanes I came unglued. My buddies looked at me like I was insane. I thought they were actually going to cut off my beer, but I calmed down on that last drive because we put some nice pressure on Brady and he started screwing up. Brady cannot handle pressure.

 

It's kinda neat when your buddies refer to you as a sociopath behind your back.

With the way delhomme used to pitch it up in double coverage to smitty I am positively relaxed watching cam nowadays.  Though on that rediculous 3rd and 7 scramble against the pats I kept vacillating back and forth between THROW THE fuging BALL AWAY and HOLY poo HE MIGHT ACTUALLY DO THIS! 

 

TLDR: Not too worked up but momentary heart attacks still happen.

My brother-in-law, who is a die-hard Dallas fan, has really helped me with this. Watching how crushed and emotional he gets after Dallas loses, (He's had a lot of opportunities in the past 4 - 5 years), made me realize how silly that behavior can be. It's to the point where his family dreads Sunday evenings.

 

My love for the Panthers has not diminshed at all. I just try to take a more positive stance going in. I cannot control how they play, how the coaches game plan, or even how the Refs call the game. I can cheer and holler and have fun during the game. I can also really enjoy the Wins. If the outcome is different than I want, I do have a period where I am down, but I try to find positives to hang on to.

 

Go Panthers!
