HeluCopter29 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 This season has sucked. There is absolutely no denying it. No silver lining. No way to mitigate the issues. This year has been an absolute catastrophe. Throughout the year there have been many fans and many different view points on how to best fix this team. No one really seams to have an answer on how to return us to glory. I do however, think there's one thing we can all agree on. We love the Washington Redskins. I have loved this team since I understood what football was. I love that this team represents my city. I love that they give a bond to my family. I love they can make the ground shake and, for a brief moment, make the whole city feel like magic. And how everytime I set foot in that stadium I feel like I'm there with all my brothers and sisters. No matter how we may feel about Dan Snyder or Mike Shanahan no one is going to take that away from us. This Sunday will be London Fletcher's last home game in the burgundy and gold and his last against the hated Dallas Cowboys who are still very much alive in the playoff hunt. The Cowboys need to win this game. I know Redskins tickets (even on stubhub) are not exactly cheap. But this is London Fletcher's last game at FedEx. This is a chance to have a real impact on the playoffs and a negative one on our arch rival. This is a chance to show the nation that even though we suck, we still love our football team. Get to the game. Be in your seats early. Be loud and proud (on defense). And let's show them who America's team really is. Hail to the Redskins.

War Paint Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I hope the fans show up. It's supposed to be a fairly warm day I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emor09 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 After the Chiefs game, we have a lot of work to do to call ourselves a "loyal fanbase" Sunday could be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCchillin89 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 no thanks. I'll be just fine not attending. Love the team, but I refuse to support this owner and this circus in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearfeather Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I hope the fans show up. It's supposed to be a fairly warm day I think. I will be there. Hopefully the 70 degree weather ( along with making sure the cowboys are out of it by midnight ) will sway a few to make the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 The ticket market is reasonable this week, by Dallas game standards. This will be our second most expensive game of 2013. The Eagles on opening night is the $ leader for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Our arrogance as a fanbase is just as much to blame for this season as anything. We could learn a lot from GHH's city (in fact that's him 2nd from the left at 2:04 in the really tight pants). I love that they sing this to their team before and after every game, no matter what the score OR the venue (as they travel very well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 LMAO @ the 2:04 chicken leg reference. You lil' ******! Those were the days ha ha. Quick pop quiz without anyone researching. Gerry and the boys are one of only two groups to have their first three singles hit number 1 in UK chart history. (How do you do it/ I like it/ YNWA.). The other also coming from that City by the Mersey. But not the Beatles. They are ..... ? Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraunMan92 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 The best way to make a stand is by refusing to renew season ticket packages. That would force Snyder to sell the team Drive him and his family out of town for good. For this Sunday though, since season tickets are sold and Snyder could care less how many people show up in all honesty, hope the crowd really does rise up and not get drowned out by Dallas fans.

If getting my section to sing to the team would help, I’d be willing to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 What does that equate to cold hard cash wise on average? Hail. If one waits patiently till Sat, a decent pair of sideline uppers should be available for about $100 per seat, after fees, etc. You shouldn't have to pay much more than STH's cost. Currently, there are pairs of midfield uppers listed at $89.95 per seat, and lower endzones listed at $142 per seat. After fees, thats about 20-30% above STH cost. Prices usually come down as game day nears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why people in this economy at this team of year would be reticent to find that on so bad a shambles as this team is. Even given it's Dallas. I'd personally be trying all ways to find the cash just to see Fletch one last time and to know I was their at his last home game to say goodbye and thank you. But I fully understand anyone who wouldn't/ isn't all things considered. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'd love to be able to go to this game. If I was still living back up there, nothing would stop me and I'd lose my voice like I have at every game (except swinging gate, where I just cried) yelling "defense defense". HTTR! I'd love to see us stomp the **** out of Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 always Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Win or lose that stadium needs to chant FLETCHER when he walks of fedex field for the last time .... Heck instead of yelling defense the chant should be London or fletcher as loud as can be every single time he's on that field. Let him know how much us fans appreciate him.

You'reNext Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Continuing to feed money to Dan Snyder just leads to a vicious circle of fans supporting the lovable losers like the Chicago Cubs.

LCA77 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Our arrogance as a fanbase is just as much to blame for this season as anything. Not quite sure what this means. I can honestly say that I (or any fan) have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that The Redskins are 3-11 this year and have been a circus. I must be missing some hidden meaning to this.
