Jethrodsp Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 That's me, eatin crow...although the score made the game seem a little more losided than it was. Defense played well, offense had trouble. We lost by 21, a cruel way to end the season so suddenly. I love the Skins though and am proud of how they fought into the playoffs this season and overcame so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 If I remember, the skins weren't fined for artificial noise, they were fined because of what the PA announcer did.Here is an article describing what happened: "Before the game, the public-address announcer yelled a derogatory phrase about the Ravens fans that ended in a mild obscenity." Link Looks like Snyder was into all kinds of shadiness during the 2000 season. (By the way, what could be lower than charging the visiting team bus for parking? Charging fans for training camp, I suppose) Here is another link to the 2000 fine against Tampa Bay http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4191/is_20001022/ai_n9980306 Numbers gameGazette, The (Colorado Springs), Oct 22, 2000 $160 Amount the Washington Redskins charged four Baltimore Ravens team buses to park before last week's game, an amount the Redskins have offered to refund $20,000 Fine levied against the Washington Redskins for breaking league crowd-noise controls by using their public-address system for cheerleading in the Tampa Bay game on Oct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Gude Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 That home field advantage they have is borderline unfair. Maybe Snyder should start construction on a carbon copy of Qwest Field right now. A lot of you have blamed our offensive line for yesterday's loss but I think the crowd played a huge part here too. Normally a line has split second jump on the snap since they know the count. But since they could hear nothing yesterday, that was negated and may explain how Seattle's D-Line was in our backfield all day. Which is why earning home field advantage is important.

pgray1111 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Guys....who cares about this? People who whine about crowd noise being fake or not are doing just that.....WHINING. These guys are paid a very nice salary, from the coaches to the players, to prepare for games, and all of them knew that seatlle has a huge homefield advantage...we experienced it 2 years ago in the playoffs. There is one great way to take care of crowd noise though.....play better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington_Redskin Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 from a 20 year seahawk season ticket holder - isn't every home team crowd special to the home team? i'm sure the skin fans take as much pride in the way they support their team as do the seahawks fans, and it was a lot of fun yesterday. we didn't sit down the whole game, and only shut up when the shawk offense had the ball. and when trufant was running back the interception, well, if you watched, you heard the crowd - it was pandemonium. there's a reason the hawks are 25-3 at home over the last 3 years - the confidence and emotion the team gets from the home crowd is a huge factor in a game. also, the nfl checked out qwest field after a giants game two years ago - nothing is piped in, it is that loud. good luck next year. Yes it is that loud. Any gripes about the noise or if it was piped in is sour grapes at this point. If we didn' blow a couple leads this year, we'd be in Tampa today.

Thirtyfive2seven Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Earning home field advantage is tough when you play in the NFC East. Much easier in the NFC West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, nobody cares about the Seahawks. When they win a Super Bowl....wait.....win they win three Super Bowls......no wait.....when they play in five Super Bowls and win three of them, come back here and talk to us. Have fun pulling for your mediocre team. Go Pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost by 21, a cruel way to end the season so suddenly. I love the Skins though and am proud of how they fought into the playoffs this season and overcame so much. Dang, I didn't even think of that. And you were the first person I've seen mention it. I can see why that would hurt. But... might that not be his way of putting his stamp on the end of the season? Seriously -- if guys were pumped and playing for Sean and winning a game by 21 points and Sean had a hand in that (nobody planned to win by 21 points), then were again playing for Sean but lost, again by 21 points, and were all broken up about it, might that not be Sean's way of saying "that's OK, I'm here"?

#21Taylor4Ever Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 wow, you must be really upset and angry that our "mediocre team" beat your ****'s by 21 points yesterday The score hardly shows what happened in this game. You guys didnt beat anyone's ass, we gave the game away just like we've done all year long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
