I admire your ability to stay so emotionally detached. I just can't do it.

@rstryker27 Oh, you should see the cutting room floor...

[Atlfalconfan444]

At that game. I thought it was just goin to be an easy win. I was wrong D:

[charliemac64]

@Atlfalconfan444 Thought we might pull it out the way things were going. If we'd had a little more time and not been so clusterf*cked on that last series of downs...

Ah, the pitfalls of a very young team. They shall mature...

I'm a British tourist, and it was my first time in Seattle. I walked up to the stadium not knowing there was a game on, but when I saw there was decided to go in. Despite knowing nothing about the sport, I really enjoyed it, and found it really cool. Thanks for posting this, great memories of my first ever (American) football game!

@FuroraCeltica What a great story! Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad I could give you a little video that will be here for you to relive! That's cool.

This game was the annual get-together for the web fan forum I frequent, and we normally have people from all over the world. But there was labor uncertainty for this season (and the whole economy thing), so turnout was low, but we did have one rep from Great Britain make it. Good times!

@KWelch60 Just because we root for other teams, that doesn't mean we have to hate on each other. Good natured booing and talking football is one thing.  Totally talking trash is another. Thanks for not doing the latter, as well as for the kind words. :)

But, uh...GO SEAHAWKS!!! ;)

Thought we were gonna pull this one out. This team is coming together a lot faster than I anticipated earlier in the season. A lot of it depended on how the offensive line performed, and they are coming around.

@LittleBusterOL The Waldo guy was fun. I used him in the vid as a punchline (to the joke of ATL fans who said Favre played for the Falcons), and I hope he don't mind. At least you can't see his face. ;)

Thanks for the kind words!

[LittleBusterOL]

You're videos are awesome. Oh and I sat next to that waldo guy lol. Keep up the great work!

Charlie, I remember you from last year! you guys almost beat us and I damn near had a heart attack here in ATL watching the game! lol Love your support for your team as I am equally as passionate about my Falcons. Its been a rough year so far but I still have hope and I know you can appreaciate that. Great game and good luck on the rest of you all season!
