USS Redskins Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Zorn returned last night, what do you expect? The only thing missing were two consecutive fake fg's. I can understand Rg3 being rusty but they came in with an attitude and Vick and the eagles smacked them around and embarrassed them again on national tv. Again. That's what I am pissed at. I am not a booer but the team and coahces should be the ones called out, they were not prepared on either side of the ball and it showed. The d played terribly and the off was ghastly for most of the game. You can't win games just b/c you won the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingGibbs Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'm laughing right now. No really, I am. Why? Because I just love when fans call out other fans as if they actually were responsible for the action/result on the field. It's the fans fault! Hilarious.

just654 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I am not sure what everyone witnessed last night, but yes in 2nd and until mid 3rd quarter it got quiet and some fans left...but for me in section 444 it was the loudest I have heard the crowd in the 4th when we were down more than 14 points. In fact I was going to post today saying I was very proud of the Fans....I never heard the Eagles chant..I think that that we did have an home field advantage in the 3rd and 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 When you start drinking at 11 in the morning and you start drinking heavily by the end of the first quarter, you can't really expect those same people to be awake in the middle of the third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludomaniac Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 As a fan you should be allowed to boo your team, I wouldnt have booed after the first half but i hate when people say fans shouldnt be allowed to boo, thats ridicilous.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I was in the upper level SRO and it was loud as hell the entire game. It felt electric up there and the stadium sounded quiet on offense outside of Eagles fans cheering and being obnoxious. I don't know what some of you guys are talking about. Yeah some fans left early but that always happens in sporting events especially when you are getting crushed. I'd rather people stick around but this wasn't exactly Heat fans leaving the NBA Finals in a two possession game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpathHitchhiker Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 First and foremost I'm embarassed by the performance of my team for 2.5 quarters. Lost, shell-shocked, and punched in the mouth. That being said, I watched every second of the game. Football season is 16 games long for most teams. That's 960 minutes of football not counting any overtime games. I'll be damned if I'm going to miss my favorite team because of some misguided "pride."

ninjarobert Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 LOL. So hilarious reading threads like this... If I paid for a ticket and parking and overpriced food/drink... and sat through that first half, I would've left at half-time to avoid the traffic and get to bed at a reasonable time for work the next day. It's a decision made with logic and reason, not blinding fanaticism. They would've gotten boos for not playing as professionals for their fans and wasting my time and money. You cheer when they do good things. You boo when they do bad things. It's feedback for the players... that's why they played much better in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadExField Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Teams dont fear is coming on that stadium. I constantly see just as much visiting fans as home when they're at Fed ex field. We're a better road team. While this is true, there are tons of fans of random teams in the D.C. because people come to D.C. to work, but they grew up somewhere else. Oh, and don't get me started on the special "unique" bunch who root for the opposing team just to be "different". Pennsylvania natives travel very well for their football teams As a fan you should be allowed to boo your team, I wouldnt have booed after the first half but i hate when people say fans shouldnt be allowed to boo, thats ridicilous. Thats like saying youre not allowed to argue with your wife I'd edit this post before your wife sees it.

Fuzzy Dunlop Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sorry, can't get on the fans after that first half performance. That was the absolute worst feeling I've ever had while being a fan of this team. If this is the worst feeling you have had you must not have been a fan long.

Renegade7 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Griffin basically ripped his knee up again doing everything he could for us last year en route to our first division championship in over a decade. Dude busts his tail to get back for us week 1 as the undisputed leader of the football team and gets booed for being rusty. Same way everyone has their right to feel their way about that, I have my right to feel the way I feel about it as well. This is nothing new if you've watched enough redskins games, us being embarrassed on national television. But I stopped being mad after I realized what I was looking at, and we still almost came back on them. End of the game box score is pretty interesting, all things considered...

Sticksboi05 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sorry, can't get on the fans after that first half performance. That was the absolute worst feeling I've ever had while being a fan of this team. ....We have been HORRIBLE for the last 20 years minus a 7 game stretch last season and a handful of other runs. After two decades of absolute misery a bad half with a QB who hasn't played in 8 months is really the worst you've felt? I doubt that. The FedEx faithful has slowly become one of the least impressive home advantages in the NFL. A far far cry from the glory days at RFK. Probably what happens when you have a stadium of bandwagoners taking up 10-15,000 seats (exaggerating). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I don't understand people saying that FedEx Field is not a good home field advantage. The place was LOUD until the we started getting our asses handed to us. And they were loud when we came back. For the Dallas and playoff game against Seattle, FedEx was rocking.

HateYanksDukeCowboys Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I know I cannot be the only one that saw it: That stadium was a church for the majority of this game tonight; even after we started mounting the comeback. Not only that, but here it was 33-20 with 12 and half minutes to go in the game and a quarter of the stadium is empty. I'm not shocked by Griffin being rusty. I'm not surprised for us being caught off guard by that offense (even worse with the turnovers). But I am utterly disgusted by how we looked as a fan base tonight. We came across like we expected to blow Philly out tonight. And for the fans that were booing tonight, you should be ashamed of yourself. Whoever you are, you don't deserve a Robert Griffin the Third... I think anyone who DIDN'T boo should be ashamed of themselves. How you can fork over that kind of money to witness extremely rich young men put forth the absolute crap and lack of heart effort that they did, and then NOT boo them, suggests the fan in question has no pulse, and could care less about the performance of their team. Sports is something to get excited about, in both a good way, as well as a bad way. That's the nature of competition, that it often comes in two extremes. You wanna attend an event where people only cheer for the efforts of the participants? Go to a youth piano recital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyBo Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 You were embarrassed by the fans? Not by the offense that turned it over twice and had a safety in the first 3 possessions? I guess some of us have different priorities in football. I would have booed, and kept booing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a time and a place. Swallowing your disappointment and getting behind them when they most need it is not lacking a pulse/ not caring about the performance or however else you'd like to describe it. On the contrary it's caring about the performance and playing your part in trying to inspire something better. It wasn't like it was a lack of effort that is totally inexcusable. Way to be a SUPPORTer of your team. After one half of the opening game of the season no less. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
