Come on, you're smarter than this. Do you think there might have been a 20-something weenie back then overreacting to the state of affairs in 1958? Obviously our climate is warmer now overall but there are similarities between the periods. The overall point is just that you are still overreacting.
I heard somewheres the 50's and '60's were pretty chilly willy. Flatiron could probably tell you more about and how 2006 to present is a spittin' image.
A year ago today we were 20 years past being a year and about 10 days away from a VERY significant snow storm in the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area.
Without the past your anxiety/paranoia level wouldn't be where it is today. Climate change only cripples people emotionally because goodies were so much more goody in... the past. #stevensonsnowjinx
The game really changed on the mid range deep ball 15 dropped on third down late in the 3rd quarter. Wilson couldn't have lofted it any better. But yeah, you had a destiny feeling when he "caught" that.
There's a great case for the alternatives, no doubt. I just think the result clouds the ability to look at it objectively. It stung. I've never received so many indecipherable, profanity laden texts all at once. I feel really bad for those who are big fans. That was an indescribable range of emotions.
Exactly... The Seahawks played high risk/high reward all evening. Hard to imagine all the things that had to come together for them to even be in that position considering the previous six quarters. Without reckless abandonment, tonight's score would have been Patriots 34, Packers 23.
Sometimes it's just not very fair to use results as a measure. Maybe they stack the gaps and 24 gets stuffed twice and they go to the outside and it falls incomplete on fourth down? More traditional and harder for the analysts to cut up, but same result. Live by the sword...
Just playing devil's advocate here, but I like the call. 99 times out of a 100 there that play catches the GL defense stacking and at worse falls incomplete. If they complete it, everyone would be like "wow, what a gutsy call!"
