Too much space to keep them all. I usually delete the following week. I kept the Pittsburgh game from 2016 for quite a while because it was so glorious.
That one is saved. I will keep that one for a while.

I just have a question, how many of you actually go back and watch the games, like they unfolded?

I think a lot of people don't and then the narratives take hold.

I actually do it each week, just not after the season is over. I will go back and rewatch the entire game on Monday or Tuesday. Knowing the outcome already gives me the opportunity to watch the game in full context. Too many people think back on a few plays as “the reason we won“ or ““the reason we lost“. It’s never that simple. The Green Bay game is a great example.

There are a lot of "moments" that get lost in the general narrative.

This game in particular, GB lost two corners and we still couldn't take advantage of the mismatch.

People remember highlights and big plays, but the ebb and flow of games week to week is how things go. Garrett lost control of this game big time.

Wow, that was a garbage call on Mayowa to give the Packers a FD.

He did but not to the extent that it cost us the game.

They were very smart about their run calls. Most of the time, we were blitzing.

Agree, but the few times we did not blitz and knew the run was coming we still could not stop it.

I find it much easier to watch a game after the outcome as I am not nervous, or emotionally involved etc when I know the end result. It's almost like I'm an outside obeserver with no horse in the game. It also makes me see how bad our HC really is.....
