First thing is first. The blogging twins were in Atlanta this weekend for UGA football, a Braves game (don’t ask why) and the Eagles game.

I’m sure you’re saying to yourself, ‘That must have been an INCREDIBLE weekend.’

Then your next question will without a doubt be, ‘WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART?’

Our answer: NO QUESTION. THE HISTORY THAT COMES WITH THE LIVING LEGEND HIMSELF!

 God, even he makes a Braves’ uniform look suave and classy.

Anyway, capping our weekend off with the Eagles-Falcons game Sunday night was an incredible experience and a terrible experience all in one.

The Georgia Dome is incredibly underrated as a stadium that consumes the players with noise. That place was loud, it was bumping, and there were dancing fans everywhere (that was actually really funny).  Not to mention, we're sure you saw it – a screaming Samuel L. Jackson (that was really annoying).

(We really wish this surprise ending really happened. SAMUEL L. DIDN'T EVEN GROW UP IN ATLANTA, HE JUST WENT TO COLLEGE THERE. DAMMIT.)

Before we get to the real situation that we want to discuss, a few thoughts about the game itself that everyone is clearly whining about.

The Eagles’ defense did a fantastic job.  The Falcons have an incredibly talented offense and 3 of their scoring drives in the first half were less than 50 yards (one under 25 yds). Out of those drives, two touchdowns were on fantastic catches after we had completely stuffed the run game on short-yardage situations. Yes, they gave up points, but the offense and turnovers weren’t really helping the cause. Not to mention that aside from one big run from Michael Turner in the 4^th quarter, the Falcons’ run game had become essentially non-existent after the first few drives. Oh, and while we’re at it – they are still creating turnovers. Before you all start crying about the score, think about the whole game and situation – relax.

Now to the real situation that we want to talk about – why the Falcons’ fans don’t get crucified for cheering when Michael Vick came off of the field hurt. The Philadelphia fans are America’s most hated fans in a lot of respects for booing too much and criticizing too much, but no one says anything for the Atlanta fans’ reaction to Mike Vick’s injury?

Not to mention, there are questions about how ‘mature’ Vick is after he pointed to the scoreboard on his way off the field. It was his way of saying, ‘I’m leaving, but we’re still winning.’ We obviously understand it wasn’t the CLASSIEST thing to do, but really? He’s getting booed for getting injured? And you’re worried about him pointing at the scoreboard?

Most of the Atlanta fans were great, but we just weren’t happy that they can get away with that and Philadelphia is supposedly the worst fan base in the world.

Either way, don’t panic (as usual) after the Atlanta game. At lot of things didn’t go our way, but a lot of crazy things happened too.
