Leftowich throwing the game winner for Jax came to mind, yes.

That thought crossed my mind way earlier than that.

At 17-0 at the end of the 1st quarter I was wondering how we were going to manage to blow the lead...

No.

P.S. I'm lying.

Right after Trent's int, the electricity power went off and it came back until 5:30 on the 4th. Boy I was almost ****ting on my pants!

Briefly, but this is a banged up Bucs team, not the Pats.

Cross my mind? It sat on my mind like the proverbial 800 pound gorilla. It dominated my every thought. It forced me to say such ugly, negative things that my wife told me to STFU - several times.

It's always on my mind. At this point I always think of games in terms of point differentials. A 13 point lead is bad because 2 quick TD's wins the game for the other team. An 11 point lead is usually good because it requires a TD, 2 pt. conversion and a FG to tie. And so on.

My wife was finding it funny that I would only admit we'd win the game when there was 13 seconds left.

Not really. The Bucs are a really bad team. I couldn't see them making enough plays to pull off the comeback. I actually felt pretty confident, even when we were stuck at 20-14 for awhile. Now if this game was on the road, I would have been biting my nails.

I didnt see the game but I had ESPN on my blackberry refreshing and with every refresh I had to hold my breath.

Not really. I was surprised at the score being more than I guessed, though.
