  • FRITZ! DID YOU STAY UNTIL THE DAGGER?

    Well, tell us all about it!
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      Even if he did leave early, there's no way he'd admit it, and neither would I.

        That's EXACTLY where we were! Section 122 in the corner. And hell yes we stayed!!!

        The play started on our end so the Packers were moving away from us. When the defense gave up that third-and-12 pass earlier, I thought it was over. But I kept saying to my wife, "you know, it's about time they win one of these last-second games." I kept the faith - I bucked the fuck up, as I mentioned early in the game thread.

        The second-to-last play, it did look like a face mask from where we sat. The crowd, which had been raucous off and on, was mostly quiet before that last play. The Lions sent three but split double-teams easily, and I'm pretty sure Bach and Barclay should've been called for holding/block in the back.

        When Rodgers launched it, I'll never forget that ball arcing high and sailing away from us, as if it were heading into the rafters. I saw a Packer in white go up, two arms over his head, and most amazingly, no Lion in front of him, only one on either side, it seemed. I saw the catch, him bringing it down, and for a beat the whole place hung silent. Then everyone exploded, and our section of Packer fans went berserk.

        As I said to my wife as we left, you could watch football for another ten years and not see another play like that, much less be a part of it.

        I couldn't stop smiling. My voice is shot. I will treasure that moment always.

              Very cool that you were there to see it happen.

                It was very, very cool. And fun to be sitting with the Packer fans.

                It was chaotic, too. I didn't even know who caught the ball until we were outside of the stadium, walking to the car.

                You could tell which fans were which, even without identifying colors. Every fan who was smiling and high-fiving - just idiotic grins plastered to faces - was a Packers' fan. Every person who was wandering, dazed and vacant and sputtering, was a Lion's fan. Or a homeless person. Or both.

                Packer fans are fun. I met a lot of cool people there.

                      One of my favorite things about road games is to hear and/or participate in the Go Pack Go cheer. Especially late in victories when the cheer gets really loud and there are no loser home fans left to drown it out.
