ARLINGTON, Texas – The swaths of red, San Francisco 49ers red, spread and leached through the stands at AT&T Stadium. It was all over the end zones. It dominated the third deck and standing room areas. It even scattered through the most expensive club seat sections. Red here. Red there. Red everywhere. It didnt just speak to the traveling might and national appeal of the Niners. It wasnt just about the power of a Super Bowl contender that would cruise to a 28-17 victory that was far more lopsided than the score suggests... .Niners DE Justin Smith sacks Tony Romo during the second half. (AP) Niners DE Justin Smith sacks Tony Romo during the second half. (AP) It also said plenty about the willingness of Dallas Cowboys fans to unload their tickets, or never bother to buy them, for the opener of a season that seems to carry so little promise. Fifty-percent red? Sixty-percent red? Whatever it was, the number was big, shockingly big for the first game of the season when seemingly every team has hope and the excitement of a live game and a full tailgate is in full swing. Jerry Jones said he didnt notice. Did you count, he asked of the number of Niners fans in attendance? He owns the Cowboys and owns the building so he was getting paid no matter what. There were 91,174 here, so it was a good day for business. Hes also the teams general manager, so from his luxury box where he entertains friends and business contacts, he says hes watching like an actual football executive and that requires tunnel vision. I just pay attention to the field, he said. Maybe it affects his hearing because in the first quarter as the Niners kept taking Dallas turnovers and scoring touchdowns, the roars for the visiting team were, youd think, impossible to ignore – 7-0 just 54 seconds in … 14-3 with 5:54 to go in the first quarter … 21-3 not 90 seconds later … 28-3 just before the half …(HELL Im A DALLAS COWBOY FAN and ALL I SAW WAS RED!!) PISSED........out.
