Very stressful game to say the least, Hats off to Detroit...they came to play, their defense is as good as advertised, and their offense played great.

This game may be a blessing for Tony, as much as the pressure was getting to him, he remained calm and didnt try to force anything, if he throws a INT somewhere in that first half, this game couldve been over early.

I thought it was a blast. The games that aren't fun are when we get blown out, which fortunately hasn't been happening much lately.

I enjoyed the game. Figured one of these playoff games was going be a dogfight.

Don't know what you're talking about. It's definitely great to not be thinking about the draft at this point in the season.

Detroit getting that 14-0 lead took some of the wind out of my sails. Knowing we would have to fight for every point the next 3 hours took a lot of the fun out of it for me also.

Dont get me wrong, winning at the end was worth it all, we come out of the half and get a turnover right away and dont cash in....fustrating.

This was a character-building game and those tend be stressful for us fans. I was hoping we would score on that first drive then control the game from there. It did not go that way. Kudos to the staff for the halftime adjustments. We won the second half battle and the overall war. I enjoyed the final outcome, but yeah, an easy win would've been more fun to watch.

Win or lose, I love games like this. Winning makes it sweeter though.

Wow ....... how could you not love this game.

We won.

I'm finally breathing normally again. I confess that I did not watch the end.

After the non pi call and the shank punt - I thought wow, team of destiny and I left the room for superstitious fear I would jinx the team.

I heard from distance they were going for it on 4th down and heard some screaming that told me they got it.

But did not come back until someone called upstairs and told me they were going to win after the Lawrence sac and fumble.

I made a stiff drink at the end....wow

LOL... At the end? Heck.. I had that flowing after 14-0 Detroit..

To me, the whole game changed on that 4 and goal, Murray for the TD.. That was it man. Garrett gave the team confidence and faith after that.. Such a great game, great win. Congrats to the whole organization.

This is how the cowboy games were in the 70s, glad to see that stressful feeling back in a meaningful game we win.

75% of the game was an anger fueled event, the last 25% calmed everything down. Glad we won, hope we don't have to experience that 75% again, in a losing effort.

It was a game that tested your nerves and blood pressure, it was a game that imagine caused family members and pets look at you funny or leave the room.

I can understand when someone talks about not enjoying the game... I would just add not enjoying the game UNTILL we won. :cool:

The good thing is we won't play another defense like that from here on out. Seattle at their best won't play us that hard.
