A day later, but it was a great time.
The city was real nice, we got down there a little early and walked around downtown, through all the Olympic stuff, the park, etc. People were out there tailgating all day long, and had a lot to yell to the pale white guy in the Roy jersey. First great discovery of the day - southern people BBQing. They're awesome at it. All hail BBQ chicken sandwiches with the works.
The stadium was awesome. Not that there was anything special about it - but the atmosphere was great. The service people were really nice, even though they wouldn't let you go down near the field to take pictures ebefore the game. I've heard about the domes being loud, but it was unreal loud, and they kept it up all night. There was probably about 10-15% Cowboys fans there, maybe a little more, but there was a ton surrounding me. We had a good time giving it to a Falcons fan behind us who had these 4 rehearsed lines that he was using the entire night.
1. Get him a body bag!!!!!
2. Sit back and watch the Michael Vick show!
3. Oh no, not again! (mockingly)
4. Say it ain't so!
And he just repeated these same 4 things over and over again. There was a REAL loud female Cowboys fan down two seats from me, and she was letting everyone hear about it all night long. She was cracking everyone up.
You all saw the game, but I'll make my observations. I don't know what that defense is that we run, but seeing it from above is awful. It's like we're running a cover three or deep quarters, and Ware blitzes but noone watches the area he vacates. If they had just run the rollout to Griffith they could have scored 40 on us. Fortunately, the defense woke up out of whatever funk they were in after the first drive of the second half. Hopefully that will be a turning point for them.
Barber is just a better back. Jones has holes available to him. When they would drive to my end, I could really see them WIDE open. But he doesn't wait, and he goes at them too close to the edge of the hole. Then, he gets taken down too easily. Twice, holes were open for HUGE gainers, and he was taken down by an outstretched arm. What we're doing is working, but I'm starting to think Jones won't have a place here next year, or his place will be different.
After the game was the best. Cowboys fans everywhere hollering to one another. All through that stadium. It was fantastic. Here's some pics, ones that turned out nice. (Sorry about the fuzziness on the players, like I said, they wouldn't let you down close.)

Then I'll put two in the next post, of outside.
