Falcons & Steelers




James & I have had a great season so far with both of our teams. We were so lucky to go to the Falcons/Buccaneers Game last weekend and the Titans/Steelers game today. Last weekend the Falcons beat the Bucs in OT and with the win today clinched a playoff spot. Wow, they overcame so much from last year: vick participating in dog fighting, new coach quitting in the middle of the season, and a losing season. This year they are in the playoffs and could possibly be a 2nd seed. GO FALCONS!!!

At kick-off today, the temp in nashville was 32 degrees with a windchill of 8 degrees. We bundled up in our many layers to brave the cold and cheer on our Steelers!! This game was a huge AFC match-up for the chance to have home field in the play-offs. The Steelers unfortunately didn't win but we're okay with being the 2nd seed. We think it'll end up working in our advantage:) Every Titans game is sold out but there were tons of empty seats and tons of Steelers fans there. That means that the "fair weather" fans that we love so much (ha!) couldn't brave the cold weather and either sold their tickets to steelers fans or just didn't show up. WOW........that would never happen in Pittsburgh.......guess that's why we're the #1 fans in the NFL year after year!!!! Anyhow, we're still very proud of our black & gold and can't wait for the playoffs to start.

I think I see a Falcons/Steelers Superbowl in our future:)
