So I'm sitting there on the opposite end of the field, annoyed and ready to leave. Actually browsing TD watching the melt down. After the 3rd and 6 I say out loud "the only way we have a chance is for them to miss the fg", knowing we'd get the spot. But you know, everyone is celebrating and don't pay me any mind. Saw it spinning sideways and finally stood up. "Could it happen?" Drew has played like crap......but it then dawned on me that we only needed 3.

Moving it. Moving it. Drew is looking sharp and getting the ball snapped quick. Then drew is calling an audible with 26 seconds left and I almost lost my mind. "Gooooooooooooooo" I shouted. Way too much time ticking off.



Then the completion. Simultaneously, the air goes out of the stadium and I start hopping like a rabbit shouting "SPIKE IT SPIKE IT SPIKE IT".....then I sit down quickly because of all the murderous stares I was getting. Well, not that many. Most everyone was already leaving the stadium.


I get three different texts advising me to remove my saints attire. Sound advice, maybe. I'm on the phone with Paddy and I get a "good game, son" from this lady Bucs fan.


What a night

Yeah. A lot of saints fans were embarrassing themselves, though. Waiting for someone to get clocked. Maybe Tampa fans are too classy for that.

I'm sure goodwill would just take your computer. Would be very grateful.

Most Tampa bay fans I have encountered handled them with class, very friendly . Atlanta is a different story

Last year there was a loud "Who Dat": chant throughout the stadium when leaving. A lot of Saints fans make the trip. I doubt there would be Buc on WhoDat violence.

I know that Drew knows what he's doing

but at that point I was screaming "HURRY! HURRY!" at my TV

I was esp. freaking out b/c NONE of the plays got out of bounds... only the screen to Sproles got even close to the sideline... and I believe it was Meachem who didn't hold his block long enough to allow Darren to get to the boundary
