Who else was at the game and left?

I committed the cardinal sin today. Wife and I were at the game. We left right before the Redskins missed the field goal. I figured we were down 2 scores with 2 minutes to go, had the baby at the sitter's and figured there was no point.

We turned the Sirius after getting on the road only to find out the game was tied. We listed to the win on the radio.

I will NEVER. EVER. leave a Saints game again.

Ironically, we were at the Panthers game the last game of last season in NOLA, and watched them come back...so I knew it was possible. I just figured we were down 2 scores with 2 minutes to go.

One of the greatest Saints win in recent memory and we left.

Did anyone else do this?

I left the room. (But I turned the TV on in other one.)

I'm going to go off and look for NFCCG tickets in NOLA in order to pacify my guilty conscience.

That's a tough call man... I totally understand the frustration and wanting to bolt.

Bro I considered it, but stayed, freezing GD toes and all. Worse part was I had no idea would go to that game, and because I am only visiting in NJ my Saints Jersey is in Blacksburh. So I was incognito- well until the game began and I was yelling when we scored. The seats were not that bad even though they were all the way up in 449

Bro it was so much fun at the end celebrating as we were walking out. Redskins fans for the most part were good guys. No issues

We were in the club level at the edge of one of the end zones (317). Decent view. I'd go back there, but not in the upper deck I believe.

Thing is - I darn near almost looked at the monitor in the concourse right before we went out - but I didn't. Wish I had, I would have run right back up.

IceShack hasn't chimed in yet. Didn't he make the game from Alaska? If he left early, he may eclipse you for the biggest boneheaded move this season.

From Alaska, damn!!!

Hey man I did not mind the upper deck- not my preference, but they were decent seats considering.

I think 200 level would be perfect.

Just have to stay out of those "limited view" seats....
