Better way to lose: Complete domination or razor-thin margin?

  1. I'll take the blow-out, thanks

    Yesterday's NFL conference championship games provided the perfect backdrop for the continuation of our "Would you rather" series. In one game, Green Bay leads nearly the entire game, but winds up on the business end of an amazing comeback by the Seahawks, and walks away with a loss in a game they really should have won. In the other, the Colts just didn't belong on the same field as the Patriots, suffering an ignominious 38-point walloping.

    If your team were going to lose, would you rather be absolutely obliterated like Indy, or snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like the Pack?

    Well, would have rather been blown out in 2000 WCF Game 7 then to go through what happened. That was tough.

    Blow out for sure. Choking is the worst shit ever, especially if you celebrate pre-maturely.

    Although in the regular season, I've been to Blazers-Lakers games where there was a come from behind and a blowout and I took the blowout a lot harder.

    Option 3

    Coming all the way back from a big deficit to take the lead and then lose anyways

    My personal least favorite.

    Blow out, less heart breaking and I can watch something else when it gets to shitty.
