For me it would feel a LOT like being a Blues fan. Every year, no matter how well the regular season went, we knew it was over in the post-season. So the regular seasons began to feel like these tedious slogs to the real test. That we were pretty sure we were going to lose.
And then suddenly they didn't. It WILL happen for you if you just keep giving yourselves bites at the apple. Andy WILL break through if he just keeps getting there. But man, the pressure will be enormous if he fails again.
He needs this win in a big way.

This is far more the bigger hurdle than Derrick Henry and the play action IMHO. Good analysis. Hopefully the saving grace prior to the game being played is that the majority of players really don't know the complete historical context leading up to this game thus avoiding additional pressure for themselves to win. You know that some of the players do know the context and hopefully it will not effect them.
