Watching the Seahawks beat the Cowboys in a nail-biter - Priceless


Saturday night was just unbelievable as I along with my friends & thousands of Seahawks fans were witness to an instant classic at the Qwest field stadium here in Seattle. As the Cowboys were ready to take a 2-point lead on the Seahawks with 1:19 left in the clock, we were already talking about how and if the Seahawks will be able to gain around 40 yards to give Josh Brown a chance at winning the game for us. That's when the now-infamous fumble by Romo happened and after some nervous moments which included a Hail-Mary pass from Romo that fell incomplete, the celebrations inside the stadium had truly began.

The atmosphere inside the stadium was something that I was not prepared for, even with my 3 game experience of watching the Seahawks play. Playoff games have their own intensity & aura which regular season games can hardly match. We almost watched the full game standing from our seats and the only time the fans let us sit in our seats was during the turnovers and timeouts. And when the Cowboys botched that FG attempt, the stadium went absolutely crazy and there was absolute mayhem in the stands. This was football at its best. Would be just awesome if the Seahawks are able to carry forward their momentum and come up with a victory against the Bears next weekend. Fingers crossed...

That is actually true. In fact, on Sunday everyone here at Seattle were hoping that the Eagles win, so that we could face the Bears. Rex Grossman, along with the fact that we lost to them pretty badly on national television, are couple of reasons why the Seahawks have a chance. Lets wait and see.

Hi Filbert,
This is naveen we met @ Prakash's marriage hope you remember it.
I know its too late to write about this game but unarguably one of the best game I ever watched.I was also in the Qwest field and experienced the roller coaster of emotions.

On flip side it was really bad to watch Romo's post conference meet.Jeez he was so depressed...........

Hope we will have a good next season.
