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

This thread is why I’m on this board.  It makes me feel less crazy for being anxious about the game.  
 

I already have my “at least it was a NFC team” excuse ready to go 

 

The Rams should have won but Mathew Stafford has a sore arm...

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.

 

That's why I have the anxiety.  Things I can control, I don't get anxiety.  Things I can't control, I get anxiety.

As of now, all I am feeling is excitement.

 

Through yesterday, I had myself convinced that the Bills will lose on Thursday.  But I knew that would change as the game gets closer and that's already happening.  By Thursday morning, I'll have the Bills winning by two scores.

I'm starting to get mine now.  I watched a couple of the hype videos, watched the GMFB and other sports shows....I'm feeling it now.

 

For the regular season games that aren't "big games"...I don't get it until like an hour before the game.

 

Big games like this, playoff games or prime time games....I start getting getting them the morning of.  This one, probably because of the hype...2 days before.

 

I'm doing the bare minimum at work today.  Just enough not to get noticed that I'm doing nothing.

Yeah.  I've been amped up all day, even yesterday, and I didn't even know why.   Then I realized it was the game.  Very unusual for me.    

 

Imagine how the players are feeling.   Especially the rookies.  Cook at least played big-time college ball.   And Elam, to just a little lesser extent, but Shakir and Benford, first NFL game coming out of nice programs, sure, but they never played in a game like this.  Super Bowl champions, on the road, national TV.

I have had it less since we got good. I had it some strange times. The one I always think of was that Jet game we lost badly in 2017.... I think if we won that we were 6-2 and the playoffs were basically all but a done deal.... it was a prime time game and I was nervous all week leading up. We lost badly and then the Saints stomped us, the Peterman game happened and before we knew it we were 5-5.

 

Last year the KC and the TEN game. New England on the road and then KC in the playoffs I got really nervous on the day itself.
