When do you typically get big game, game day anxiety?

There’s no anxiety because I can’t control the outcome so if we lose it has nothing to do with me.
 

Excitement though has set in. Been waiting months for this and to finally forget the last 13 seconds in Kansas City.

Did you sleep during the entire season last year 😂😂 this year we are out to forget the Bengals manhandling us. 13 seconds was last year's moment

in my 20s I did

I think the Bills might be very good this year.  

 

I also know that I don't know.  We won't find out until the games are played.

 

This Jets game will be a hint.  Though sometimes season openers are deceiving, so maybe it won't be a hint after all.   

 

I figure the Bills have a roughly 10% chance of winning the Lombardi this year.  That's good - better than nearly every other team.  But it still means there's a 90% chance that I'll end the season with disappointment.  

 

In short, I am curious and hopeful and excited.  But not anxious...  yet.  I'll be nervous at the opening kickoff but only then.  Not before or after.  Which is exactly how I was when I played football in school many years ago.

Josh Allen vomits on game day mornings. Then he listens to Frank Sinatra on his ipod. 

 

It's a tale of game day anxiety.

I do but it manifests itself in quite different ways between Arsenal and the Bills. 

 

I often have night before dreams on the eve of a big game for both. But then on a game day with Arsenal I almost don't want the game to get here. I want to push it off into the future. With the Bills it is the opposite I want the game here asap. That is why I like the early Sunday games. Anything later I am like "get the game here now".

Sports aren't fun.  I don't really understand the concept that they're supposed to be.

They're fun to play. 

Watching with no control over the outcome can be ....... not fun. 

[Nextmanup]

  I will be all hyped up all day Monday.  

 

Haven't felt a thing yet; I'm not in football mode yet, even with the game last night.

This thread indicates a lot of mental illness in Buffalo.

[MarkyMannn]

So I'm going to a big opener party Monday. Food & drinks! 

 

I've got fasting bloodwork Tuesday morning.  Fudge......

[Simon Says]

Why should I be anxious? I'm not playing or getting paid...

[Bobby Hooks]

Not until the day of. Usually a few hours before kick-off. 
 

More of a butterflies in the belly feel than full on anxiety.

By using the word "Get", you are assuming it leaves at some point!
