I’d love to be wrong someday because I’m a hardcore Dallas Fan for life..!! But so far & always, Romo was much better than Dak has ever shown us..!!
@@foxfire1112 It wasn't his fault. Watch the play again. As he steps into the throw, his OWN O-lineman gets shoved back into him, tripping him! Romo was statistically one of the best QBs ever, but he rarely had a decent O-line or defense. Him and Brees were in the same boat, for most of their careers. Offensive juggernauts, always doing MORE than enough to win most games if they had a decent D... but they didn't, so Brady and Peyton Manning will forever go down as the best QBs of the era. Of course, Brady is some kind of freaking magical cyborg or some such BS, and Manning was truly great, but both Romo and Brees would have done as well or better on the same teams they had around them. Don't get me started on how badly things went for Brees' career except the year they won the Super Bowl.
Such a shame we’ve wasted Romo’s best years by surrounding him with horrible defenses and swiss cheese O-lines that got him injured year after year, when he finally got a good line his body was already broken from all that abuse. During his prime he was a top 5 QB in this league, criminally underrated player.
Nobody underrated Romo. Great QB, always top 5 or top 10 in all seasons he played healthy, only depends how his team was successful, better success top 5, worse success top 10.
@@toddsecor288 Tony Romo is right behind Tom Brady in career passer rating (TR - 97.1, TB - 97.3), if that's somehow terrible your standards for a good QB must be impossible to reach. The difference between why Tom Brady won 8 Superbowls and Tony won none, is because one had an outstanding defense his entire career while the other didn't. It's easier to not choke when you're defense holds the other team to less than 20 or 15. For reference, in the full 22 seasons Tom Brady has played in, he has had a top 10 defense 19 times out of 22 (16/19 with NE, 3/3 with TB) seasons. While Romo only had 1 top 10 defense in 9 years.
The worst part is afterwards everyone in the media just treated it like another Romo choke. It took time for people to appreciate just how great he was here. It’s a shame (for me as a Dallas fan) that the defense couldn’t stop anybody.
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 Yep. Remember it like it was yesterday. "Romo chokes" was all over the headlines. And the weird thing is Romo was actually more clutch than he was a choker; it's just that his chokes were in the most important games and his clutch moments were the least important games
Crazy how Romo had one of best QB performances all game til that final possession. The life of a cowboys fan.. I wouldn't have it any other way. HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS 🤠

He felt he had a better chance to start eventually in Dallas than Denver and he was right haha. Our QB situation in Dallas was terrible in the early 2000s

I remember watching this game with my dad at Jim’s wings in Fort Collins, Colorado. I was in college at the time and he was in town visiting. Watching this took me back almost 10 years ago now, almost brought me to tears thinking back on how good that day was spending time with my old man, drinking beer, eating the best Buffalo wings in town and watching my broncos win one of the greatest football games I’ve ever seen. I miss those days, thanks for the memories!
The game that should have made everyone realize that Romo was the freaking clutch… but they were to afraid to say it so they went with the choke… which was SO UNTRUE, he preformed amazingly!
I remember watching this one, Amazing game. I'll always love and have a soft spot for Tony Romo. He will probably never be in the HOF and of course he never had many big wins in the playoffs, but what a hell of a player anyway, you don't have to have every major accolade to be appreciated. From undrafted to working his way into a roster spot and up the ladder, and when given his shot to start he took it by the horns and never looked back all while having some ups and downs and being in the spotlight of the most popular position on the most popular team in the most popular league while constantly being criticized fairly or unfairly. And he did all that while being an absolute professional about it, taking every hit on the chin, never deflecting blame, and always coming back to prove himself, try his hardest and improve his game. I enjoyed the hell out of watching him play QB and wouldn't have had it any other way.
Romo will be one of the best QB's to have ever played the game to never make it to Canton. The Jones during that era loved high powered offenses and were okay with garbage defenses, and Rob Ryan's defense was garbage. If you put 48 points on the board and lose, that's not an offensive problem. Yet Romo trying to pull a heroic snatch victory from the jaws of defeat was always to blame for losses, we the Dallas defense was really to blame.

Even though there are plenty of good arguments for other offenses, I still believe the 2013 Broncos offense was the greatest of all time. Got outplayed and our coached in the super bowl, but before that they were world beaters.
Lots of competition for that title, I still think it has to be the 07 Pats. But the 13 Broncos are right up there. You fell behind to those guys, it was over. I was amazed when the Pats came back on them.

@@thegorn68 ask yourself where he was throwing that ball? You’d have a point if the ball bounced off a receiver’s hands and got picked, but Romo was feeling himself and threw into triple coverage. He has way too many moments like that for me. Good quarterback when there’s little expectations. A rich man’s Ryan Fitzpatrick.
If Smith doesn't step on Romos foot that wouldn't have been an interception. Romo outplayed Manning and deserved to win that game. The story of his career
this one of the games that showed how underrated and under appreciated tony romo really was. he made a mistake at the end but they aren’t in this game if he’s not playing
Man this was an absolute fantastic game by both QB's. It's a damn shame that the only thing Romo is known for in this game is the late int that cost them the win. However, you can clearly see he tripped on the throw which is why it wasn't accurately placed like Romo had been doing the whole game. No other player was as good and plagued by unfortunate events like Romo was.
@@kylemonsterdrywallfistbump5948 I only got 50 points one time from a qb I had Vick starting for the eagles that time he threw 300 yards 4 td through the air and another 150 and 2 touches on the ground I think it was close to 60 points.

Antonio Romero, one of MOST underrated QB’s in history of NFL, Check his stats year Aaron Rodgers won MVP Romo literally was ahead in almost every state line🤷🏻♂️???I always knew when I heard people say “oh he chokes” that they never actually watched him play #TonyRomo
One of the greatest games ever----------and, with MY favorite Broncos uniforms. i so wish they had this all the time. What a memory this is.--------------------MJL, 75 y/o, A Broncos Fan for life.
I went to this game with my nephew he’s a hardcore Dallas fan and I’m a lifelong broncos fan this game is the definition of a shootout I can’t stand the Cowboys but always have respect for Romo
I always thought Terrance Williams was an underrated receiver. Definitely not in the upper echelon of pass catchers, but the guy made some damn clutch grabs during his time in Dallas. Coming from an Eagles fan, btw.
He came in clutch more than the so called "x factor"...if he didn't make that catch during the Seahawks game then Dez wouldn't have spent the rest of his career crying about the "catch" in green bay
I’m so glad I was able to go to this game. It was an EPIC showdown between 2 great QBs. I was going wild in the End Zone and surrounded by other Denver fans.
I remember how the narrative was that Romo choked when it mattered most after they lost that game. Glad the narrative has changed in 7 years. Amazing performance by both QBs.
Romo choked, I remember this game. On the final drive Austin was wide open on a go route. Romo over threw him by inches. Yeah he put up numbers but he had his chances to be great and always seemed to come up short. Cowboys fan btw.
I love people saying choker. He has one of history's highest comeback rating, and an even higher 4th quarter comeback rating. Peyton, Elway, Montana, Unitas all had more though. I guess that makes him a choker. Also retired as the 10th highest winning percentage quarterback in all of history. Fact. But a choker, huh? Uh huh.
Ugh...it was ridiculous. I couldn’t believe people had watched the same game I watched and come away with the conclusion that the guy who threw for over 500 yards and led his team to 48 points was the one who choked.
Na the Narrative was already alive, and half of the Cowboys fan base were spreading the hate and talking down on their own QB. Even in this gameJim Nantz mentioned a Sports Illustrated article called Americas Whipping boy( or something like that) referring to all the hate Romo gets for losing games,when in fact, Romo is an awesome QB. Romo was getting so much negative criticism prior to this game that an article was written (he was on the cover of the magazine) trying to defend him. So Of course Romo throws the game losing int at the end of the game 🤦♂️
NOBODY thought manning was gonna keep it. Nobody watching on TV, nobody on the defense obviously lol, nobody in the stadium, hell it even totally faked the camera guy out which is pretty hard to do manning was completely off the screen for a moment lol.
2013, 2014 seasons for Romo were when he was at his absolute peak. Cowboys never invested in defense though until recently, they paid the price for it too
Wtf with the Cowboys O-line, just 3 people attacking Romo and being able to put so much pressure??? C'mon, Steeler fan here but, Romo was amazing. Much love on Romo... 🙏
Man I miss watching Peyton play so bad!! This was absolutely a hell of a game. I watched this game in Iraq. Romo was a beast too. I don’t think he got all the credit he deserved. #ripdthomas
I had a couple of friends who were Cowboys fans who blamed Romo for this loss despite the numbers he put up. I told them to be mad at the defense for not showing up.
Dak got paid off of having an all century O line with a top 5 decade RB. Why couldn't Romo have a decent backup for once in his career. We broke him, and finally gave him what he needed. Romo could never rehab to full strength because he was guilty of giving us a chance and we never had a backup plan. We would have had a NFCC or SB and around this time and Dak could have took the reigns next and history could have repeated. I believe Romo would have outduelled Rogers in 2016. The issue is, I don't think Dak has the accuracy (or system/coaching) to make it through more than one contract extension. Romo had his moments, but made others around him better. Crayton, Robinson, Williams, Austin all had close to or over 1,000 yard seasons with Romo and fell off the face of the earth when they looked to get paid. GMs knew their worth and Romos skill set. From 2007-2010 we had the depth and cap to keep talent. When we paid him, he was still able to keep us relevant. No one was going to bail out Romo. Romo could elevate and throw up 400-500 yards when needed, and we would still get the L. 2014 showed us how a system and play could put a band aid on our issues, like historically bad defenses. Dak started his career with a band aid. Zeke was generational talent. Kellen Moore wasn't the worst thing to happen to Dak and Witten and Beasley were a 2 for 1 starter kit for a young QB. We saw that Dak had potential. He elevated under K. Moore and we got accustomed to having a trio like Cooper, Gallup, and Ceedee. Somewhat similar to the production Tua will see with 3 #1 receivers, but will Tua elevate when they depart after his payday? Critics said Moore lacked in game adjustments and consistency. Truthfully, Dak lacks consistency regardless of the game plan. He can be lights out one day and the next be inaccurate, bad reads, and hold on to the ball too long and that's what we needed to gameplan. Would we have saw a drop in production with Dez Bryant, TY Hilton, or Brandin Cooks under Romo? We need to go cheap and move on before we pay the defense like a 2012 LOB situation in Seattle. The available cap would be huge for Parsons, Lawrence (no drop off in production or health), Lamb, Tyler Smith, Biadiasz,.Odighizuwa, and Bland. Cooper Rush would be a great mentor and bridge that gap. Money in free agency can allow us to shore up our weaknesses like run defense. I would get jealous seeing Philly grabbing top FAs to add to an already strong position group. Do you think 2023 would have had a different flavor with Suh and Bobby Wagner type FA signing? Every year we respond to Phillys splash signings by trading a future compensatory pick for a six year veteran on the decline with a 1 year, 1.5-2 million dollar contract. Not like they would ever care, but I will always be disgusted on how they handled his time with the Cowboy's. Every few years a new QB phenom will come around, with all the attributes you could ask for, but Romo's story is relatable to the average hard worker that fights from the bottom to make it. A true underdog story.
Dez was one of the best wr when romo played. He did everything that dez loved. Dak comes in and can’t throw the back shoulder fade, one of dez’s favorite passes, and turns dez into a top 20 wr. Dez career ended because of dak. Not cause dez couldn’t do it anymore.
@@RayceTBaker I know, right, ever since I was a little boy, I was becoming a Dallas Cowboys, but for now, I'm going to become an American Football player as a Running Back of Dallas Cowboys.
I think 2020 statistically was actually worse? Or maybe their late surge saved them. Which shocked me because I never thought I would see a defense as bad as this for a long time. Thankfully they have improved this year.
This game basically encompasses Romo’s career in a nutshell. Puts up amazing numbers with a paper thin O line. He makes a mistake, and he’s a choker. The other Qb turned the ball over, not a peep. Historically bad defense couldn’t help out an offense that put up 48pts. Some of the throws he completed Dak couldn’t dream of making. Romo would’ve been a force with this team Jerry finally built for Prescott

He has way too many moments like that for me. Good quarterback when there’s little expectations. A rich man’s Ryan Fitzpatrick.
His heel got stepped on as he was in the throwing motion
@@kevinstewart8054 False equivalence.
If Smith doesn't step on Romos foot that wouldn't have been an interception. Romo outplayed Manning and deserved to win that game. The story of his career
Or how about the defense make a stop! 48-41. Broncos had 2nd goal at the 16... and they got a touchdown on that Swiss cheese defense
I'm 30 seen this game at 20 years old I'm a cardinals fan n I gotta say this the best game I've ever seen
I will never forget this game...or where I was when I watched it....good game go Broncos
Where were you?
this one of the games that showed how underrated and under appreciated tony romo really was. he made a mistake at the end but they aren’t in this game if he’s not playing
no mistake was made. He tripped on a linemens foot. Not making any excuses, but its just the cards he was dealt.
@@perculation9294 how about that Swiss cheese defense make 1 stop and Murray runs the clock out
Best game Ive ever watched
Been a Dallas fan for 35 years. I remember this game well. Great show by both quarterbacks
quite a miserable existence
its games like these why I love football.
I’m 16 I’m a Steelers fan I remember this game vividly
Man this was an absolute fantastic game by both QB's. It's a damn shame that the only thing Romo is known for in this game is the late int that cost them the win. However, you can clearly see he tripped on the throw which is why it wasn't accurately placed like Romo had been doing the whole game. No other player was as good and plagued by unfortunate events like Romo was.
I wish I could relive this game. It had everything. Big plays on offense and defense by both teams.
Helps my Broncos won to.
Fantasy owners of both QBs must’ve been in heaven this game
Imagine if you started both of em. Alot of fantasy leagues have it where you pick two qbs the one I used to play did. You'd be like chaching!!!
@@midnight347 I have a qb 2 qb league in yahoo they both put up like 50 points lol
@@kylemonsterdrywallfistbump5948 I only got 50 points one time from a qb I had Vick starting for the eagles that time he threw 300 yards 4 td through the air and another 150 and 2 touches on the ground I think it was close to 60 points. I racked up that game. That was the game when ppl was like Vick is back and I got him for cheap lol

Super underrated game
Miss him and never out of game

MVP
How do you feel about dak?
@@corning1dak sucks
@@corning1 If Dak could be 80% the QB Romo was , we'd have a ring
I forgot how nice Decker was 💯
Oh man, this was like clash of the titans Romo and Manning were just on fire this game probably my favorite game of that decade!
Romo would be top ten all time if not for his injuries. Had a great style of play.
Or his Swiss cheese defense
Antonio Romero, one of MOST underrated QB’s in history of NFL, Check his stats year Aaron Rodgers won MVP Romo literally was ahead in almost every state line🤷🏻♂️???I always knew when I heard people say “oh he chokes” that they never actually watched him play #TonyRomo
Antonio Alejandro Del Bosque Garcia Ramos Romo! MVP in our hearts forever 💕
This game gets re-uploaded every year, at least it feels like it
One of the greatest games ever----------and, with MY favorite Broncos uniforms. i so wish they had this all the time. What a memory this is.--------------------MJL, 75 y/o, A Broncos Fan for life.
I miss Sean Lee :( i wish he stayed healthy all those years because when he was playing he was a BEAST!
MY favorite Broncos uniforms ! Both QB's were awesome. ---------Broncos fan for life.
My favorite AFC team vs my favorite NFC team. It was a great game to be sure!
Was the best duel I've ever saw in my 38 years this was supposed to go down in the record books
Oh the glory days of the Broncos, back when we had a stellar offense, and now our final relic of that era, Von Miller, is now a Ram, I miss that team
The the difference is, Peyton manning did that against our defense.. but romo did that against the broncos 2013 defense lmaooo
One of the greatest games I've ever watched
At least once every 10 years, Peyton Manning has a successful bootleg TD.
I went to this game with my nephew he’s a hardcore Dallas fan and I’m a lifelong broncos fan this game is the definition of a shootout I can’t stand the Cowboys but always have respect for Romo
how come? like the franchise or jus the players/ team in general lol
@@sammystones4319 Jerry Jones
I always thought Terrance Williams was an underrated receiver. Definitely not in the upper echelon of pass catchers, but the guy made some damn clutch grabs during his time in Dallas. Coming from an Eagles fan, btw.
His touchdown against the Texans in 2014 and the 3rd and 20 toe tap against the Seahawks are still some of my favorite plays I’ve ever seen.
Last guy to ever catch a TD pass from Tony Romo!
His field awareness was low. He had a knack for not getting out of bounds during critical points of a game.
Grabs? You gotta catch with your hands to have "grabs".
He came in clutch more than the so called "x factor"...if he didn't make that catch during the Seahawks game then Dez wouldn't have spent the rest of his career crying about the "catch" in green bay
RIP Demayrius Thomas, Ronnie Hillman and Gavin Escobar
After watching today’s loss and Uncle Rico’s horrible passing, all I can say is….damn I miss Romo
I’m so glad I was able to go to this game. It was an EPIC showdown between 2 great QBs. I was going wild in the End Zone and surrounded by other Denver fans.
I remember how the narrative was that Romo choked when it mattered most after they lost that game. Glad the narrative has changed in 7 years. Amazing performance by both QBs.
Yeah, defense choked. Romo put in work
Romo choked, I remember this game. On the final drive Austin was wide open on a go route. Romo over threw him by inches. Yeah he put up numbers but he had his chances to be great and always seemed to come up short. Cowboys fan btw.
I love people saying choker. He has one of history's highest comeback rating, and an even higher 4th quarter comeback rating.
Peyton, Elway, Montana, Unitas all had more though. I guess that makes him a choker.
Also retired as the 10th highest winning percentage quarterback in all of history. Fact. But a choker, huh? Uh huh.
Ugh...it was ridiculous. I couldn’t believe people had watched the same game I watched and come away with the conclusion that the guy who threw for over 500 yards and led his team to 48 points was the one who choked.
Na the Narrative was already alive, and half of the Cowboys fan base were spreading the hate and talking down on their own QB.
Even in this gameJim Nantz mentioned a Sports Illustrated article called Americas Whipping boy( or something like that) referring to all the hate Romo gets for losing games,when in fact, Romo is an awesome QB.
Romo was getting so much negative criticism prior to this game that an article was written (he was on the cover of the magazine) trying to defend him.
So Of course Romo throws the game losing int at the end of the game 🤦♂️
A game I'll never forget.
For some odd reason, I remember this game for Peyton Manning's fake handoff rollout TD then the amazing shootout this game actually was...
NOBODY thought manning was gonna keep it. Nobody watching on TV, nobody on the defense obviously lol, nobody in the stadium, hell it even totally faked the camera guy out which is pretty hard to do manning was completely off the screen for a moment lol.
What a game!!! 2 of the best qbs!
Can you guys do the eagles vs giants Sunday night game back in 2009? That was a great game too
2013, 2014 seasons for Romo were when he was at his absolute peak. Cowboys never invested in defense though until recently, they paid the price for it too
CLASSIC
Been watching football since the early 90s and this is definitely one of the best I've seen.
Offensive showdown for the ages
Defensive slops of the ages.
One of my favorite games
Wtf with the Cowboys O-line, just 3 people attacking Romo and being able to put so much pressure??? C'mon, Steeler fan here but, Romo was amazing. Much love on Romo... 🙏
That's what he had to deal with most of his career yet people called him a choker
Man I miss watching Peyton play so bad!! This was absolutely a hell of a game. I watched this game in Iraq.
Romo was a beast too. I don’t think he got all the credit he deserved.
#ripdthomas
I had a couple of friends who were Cowboys fans who blamed Romo for this loss despite the numbers he put up. I told them to be mad at the defense for not showing up.
HORRIBLE Cowboy defenses for virtually all of Romo's career.
I bet those same idiots would make excuses for Dak for our horrible loss to green bay
The only football game I ever attended. It was amazing! 👏🏽
Dak got paid off of having an all century O line with a top 5 decade RB. Why couldn't Romo have a decent backup for once in his career. We broke him, and finally gave him what he needed. Romo could never rehab to full strength because he was guilty of giving us a chance and we never had a backup plan. We would have had a NFCC or SB and around this time and Dak could have took the reigns next and history could have repeated. I believe Romo would have outduelled Rogers in 2016. The issue is, I don't think Dak has the accuracy (or system/coaching) to make it through more than one contract extension. Romo had his moments, but made others around him better. Crayton, Robinson, Williams, Austin all had close to or over 1,000 yard seasons with Romo and fell off the face of the earth when they looked to get paid. GMs knew their worth and Romos skill set. From 2007-2010 we had the depth and cap to keep talent. When we paid him, he was still able to keep us relevant. No one was going to bail out Romo. Romo could elevate and throw up 400-500 yards when needed, and we would still get the L. 2014 showed us how a system and play could put a band aid on our issues, like historically bad defenses.
Dak started his career with a band aid. Zeke was generational talent. Kellen Moore wasn't the worst thing to happen to Dak and Witten and Beasley were a 2 for 1 starter kit for a young QB. We saw that Dak had potential. He elevated under K. Moore and we got accustomed to having a trio like Cooper, Gallup, and Ceedee. Somewhat similar to the production Tua will see with 3 #1 receivers, but will Tua elevate when they depart after his payday? Critics said Moore lacked in game adjustments and consistency. Truthfully, Dak lacks consistency regardless of the game plan. He can be lights out one day and the next be inaccurate, bad reads, and hold on to the ball too long and that's what we needed to gameplan. Would we have saw a drop in production with Dez Bryant, TY Hilton, or Brandin Cooks under Romo?
We need to go cheap and move on before we pay the defense like a 2012 LOB situation in Seattle. The available cap would be huge for Parsons, Lawrence (no drop off in production or health), Lamb, Tyler Smith, Biadiasz,.Odighizuwa, and Bland. Cooper Rush would be a great mentor and bridge that gap. Money in free agency can allow us to shore up our weaknesses like run defense. I would get jealous seeing Philly grabbing top FAs to add to an already strong position group. Do you think 2023 would have had a different flavor with Suh and Bobby Wagner type FA signing? Every year we respond to Phillys splash signings by trading a future compensatory pick for a six year veteran on the decline with a 1 year, 1.5-2 million dollar contract.
Not like they would ever care, but I will always be disgusted on how they handled his time with the Cowboy's. Every few years a new QB phenom will come around, with all the attributes you could ask for, but Romo's story is relatable to the average hard worker that fights from the bottom to make it. A true underdog story.
Dez was one of the best wr when romo played. He did everything that dez loved. Dak comes in and can’t throw the back shoulder fade, one of dez’s favorite passes, and turns dez into a top 20 wr. Dez career ended because of dak. Not cause dez couldn’t do it anymore.
Broncos: Galatasaray!
Cowboys: Manchester United!
I wasn't a fan of either team but this game was insane!!
I hope I want to see the Dallas Cowboys becoming the NFC East Champions before they going to Super Bowl Next year.
You shall want to See a Cowboys for an Super Bowl in next Year if Los Angeles or the Tampa Bay are beat in a Playoff. Go the Dallas Cowboys!
@@MGAF688 Yeah but they won't. Ever since I was born, Dallas has only 4 playoff wins since their last Super Bowl win

Romo will always be my favorite QB to watch. I wish Jerry gave him a real coaching staff in his prime
Romo had literally 0 margin for error in this game.
My first ever cowboys game. What a blessing it was to be there that day 🙏🏽
This was a great game. Had it been dak, the score would’ve been 51-10
Or it would he 51-40 with 30 of the points coming from garbage time
Two of the sharpest football minds the game has ever seen.
That 2013 defense was terrible, only comparable one as of recently was the 2020 defense.
Don’t get me started about 2020😂 my god it was awful
I think 2020 statistically was actually worse? Or maybe their late surge saved them. Which shocked me because I never thought I would see a defense as bad as this for a long time. Thankfully they have improved this year.
This game basically encompasses Romo’s career in a nutshell. Puts up amazing numbers with a paper thin O line. He makes a mistake, and he’s a choker. The other Qb turned the ball over, not a peep. Historically bad defense couldn’t help out an offense that put up 48pts. Some of the throws he completed Dak couldn’t dream of making. Romo would’ve been a force with this team Jerry finally built for Prescott
Romo deserved a team with a defense.
I cannot help but wonder what kind of production he’d amass with this 2021 squad.
@@misterantonio9672 he was a deep passer so he def would've racked up hella yards and TDS
He had a team with a defense: He played on a team that had Terrance newman, demarcus ware, and Pac-Man jones. Romo just didn't have it.
@@spikeboon123 it don’t matter. My team was almost dead last in defense that year
@@spikeboon123 😂😂😂😂 you don't watch football my guy you named three players and that's somehow a good defense?💀 If it wasn't the defense it was the offense, it was always something with Jerry up there
Glad I was there for that one! Go Broncos!
Amazing game. Got to witness this game live. It was epic.
