Technically, it is because we were down when the quarter began, but really?
yeah we entered the 4th being down one point, so it counts as a comeback. Alex now has 4 4th qtr comebacks (#2 behind Eli)
I understand this. I'm questioning whether or not it SHOULD be considered a comeback. I just don't think leading for the majority of the quarter in an otherwise close game should be considered a comeback. Coming back from 14 points? Sure. But 1 point at the beginning of the quarter and then leading the rest of the game? I don't know.
Either way, I don't think it even matters. We won, and that's all that matters. I'd rather win comfortably than in comeback fashion.
If it makes you feel better, we came back to take a fourteen point lead.

Gotta keep the alliterative quality of the moniker.
Could go the Navy route. Captain ----> Commodore. Commodore Comeback. Kinda like that.
U.S. Navy doesn't use Commodore anymore, they use Rear Admiral (Lower Half)
(trivia check)

I take it as a comeback only because the talking heads kept saying we can't do anything if we get down to the Giants and pretty much every other team we played.

Give me a break. We were down by 1 point for less than 2 minutes in the 4th and led the rest of the game. Not exactly what people think of when they hear "4th quarter comeback."

Yes, we were down in the 4th, and mostly everyone was feeling s**tty even if it was only a 1 pt deficit. Then after the TD, he hooked up with Crabtree to give us a 7 pt lead.
