Normally you'd think that 55-7 is a nice relaxing game.
While that may have been true for a few hours we all know that everyone is gripping about the game vs. the Vikings.
Fedya....Were you relaxed this past Sunday?

I'm more relaxed watching games now then I was 10-15 years ago. When TOG went back to pass it seemed you always wondered who was going to come down with it. But with 
I never worry about that. 
As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I thought, "Goddam it, Boris is making fun of me again!"
Other than having to deal with some idots who forgot that the booth upstairs handles replays in the last two minutes of a half, yes I was relaxed.

I'm on edge starting Wednesday every week. But never about AR.
Now, it's gotten to the point I expect Crosby to lose one for us. Or for our OL to have another 8 sack game.
Let's just hope Newhouse can play as well as Barclay and EDS is the long term solution.

I think as fans our standard is so high now that we aren't truly "relaxed" unless the team wins the SB. I don't know if this is a good thing or not. Regardless, I do try and enjoy the journey in getting there as Boris mentioned in 2010. However, it's always a lot easier said than done. I'm a mess every week to be honest.
I don't know if it qualifies as relaxing, but at one point in the Tennessee game, I actually felt sorry for the Titans.
That was weird. I don't remember feeling like that during the 15-1 run at all. Probably because we were the champs and clobbering everybody.

I'm a little bit of the opposite, I'm on pins n needles on the journey to the playoffs ...
Now that we are in, I look everything else as gravy because of what it takes to really win 1.
IMO, every win in the playoffs is enjoyment. The only thing I could be upset about is if the team does not advance because of Crosby, IMO, he doesn't deserve the slack he got and if there is 1 weakspot now that guys are getting healthy, he is it. That Oline is not the best but you can work around that a bit, when Crosby's time comes up, its up to him for everyone. I think its a bad bet MM is making but it is what it is and that psycho left MM/TT with little choice.

I will be upset if we don't show up. You know, like the Giants game. There was NOTHING there. Just awful. Show up and kick the other teams ass. Period. Other than that, I am on pins and needles the whole game until I know for sure its over. Do I want AP to set the record?..as long as we win and knock them out of the playoffs..NAH!
Focused and FORWARD! ain't no time for relaxing. got 4 or 5 more football games to play! all hands on deck.
I don't think we need to worry too much about the team letting up or not showing up. Their struggles on offense this season are fresh.
Anybody else watch the Titans game and think to themselves, uh oh... They're getting some timing down on offense.
Caution. Highly flammable.

I had to laugh when I saw this thread. Sitting at the bar watching in about the 3rd quarter I said to the folks... This has to be the most relaxing game I have watched in years!

Yup.
I was in the car on the way home from family Christmas for most of the game. Last year, I was listening to the Chiefs game on the same ride home. Needless to say, this was a much more relaxing game.
I used to get pretty worked up about games. But once I grew the hell up, saw more games, I stopped getting so worked up. Certain things still get me, mainly bad officiating.
