Guys, I can't even sit still. I'm so dang anxious for Saturday to come. I feel worthless at work. I'm just spending all my time reading about Saturday's game.
How about everyone else? What's everyone doing to make the time pass? [Reply]
As a long time Chiefs fan I don't know how the city will handle a win. We have been habitual losers of home playoffs for so long I don't know if the city can handle winning the next two games :-) [Reply]

Its irrational, and I know that it is, but I cannot simply "just watch" a game, I get invested immediately. This year, the Patriots, Rams and Chargers games tore my heart out.
I DVR games don't start watching until about 45 minutes after the start time. I figured out watching commercials and halftime just adds to my anxiety during games so I try to skip them as much as possible. If they defense allows a score, I hate having to watch the commercial break mad waiting to see the offense response. Or if we're down at halftime I don't want to see 15 minutes of highlights or them breaking down why we're losing. [Reply]
I haven't missed a game in at least 25 years. I'm damn sure not missing this one. If we lose I'll still have a feeling of satisfaction knowing we got Mahomes for the next 15 years and this year was a whole lot of fun. [Reply]
If you could get up Saturday morning and be magically be teleported to Saturday night, then find out the score - would you? Assume you can watch the entire replay of course. [Reply]
If you want to make yourself less excited, go buy gamepass for $50, the start watching the Pats game, followed by the Rams, followed by Seattle and finish up with the Chargers. Finally, go check the injury report. After all of that you will probably have a lot less nervous excitement about the game and will have already gotten yourself into the proper state of mind to accept whatever unique and impossible to predict way we will find to lose the game. If they win then you will be happier than anyone because you will have started out so low! [Reply]

I'm drinking tonight to ease the anxiety. I have gamepass. Debating on Raiders game vs. Ravens game. I think I'll do Ravens. I can't go back to when we still had Hunt because every time he touches it makes me sad. [Reply]
