Big Time Win

As I pulled into parking lot "A" yesterday I realized this was a different atmosphere then the past years. The Falcons fans were actually tailgating like it was a UGA game. Grills were smokin everywhere, footballs were hitting cars and Carolina fans simply were not that welcome to be there. When I walked into the stadium and paid $7 for a beer I thought to myself, "we have got to win this game." Then I started laughing, because I just paid $7 and it was game 11 and it was a must win for the Falcons. Nobody saw this coming. If you say you did, you are a liar. Better, yes. .500 team, yes. But this, no. Division contender that nobody wants to play in the playoffs. And I mean nobody. This team is unified and so are the fans. If you are on the bottom level, you simple dont sit down except during halftime. It was loud and fun and refreshing all at the same time. No more DJ playing music every 30 seconds. This was football, not a concert, this was football, not a business meeting, this was football, a place were the ladies had better be fans or they were simply just "in the way".
Folks, this is a winning football team. We are young and talented. Everybody better get used to it because the back to back winning record thing is over next year. I firmly believe with a few good players added this off season we will be a top 5 team in the NFL.
