Skins/Bills Game: Atmosphere At FedEx Today

Fans are pussies, me and my buddy where we were sitting had to yell at other fans to make some god damn nouise and swing their towels on pivitul 3rd down plays, field goals, pretty much any play that buffalo needed, but to no avail. And also, i thought this game was going to be sold out, but there were sooo many empty seats

yup kind of a weird vibe going on at the stadium, nice to see everyone remain standing for the skins first drive thoo, crowd got real loud when they showed they were going for it on 4th, JC and others had to give the crowd the "hush down now" signal . . . no "sean taylor" or "S . . T..." chant broke out thoo

just kinda hard to cheer or get pumped on a day like that.

diehardskin - yeah a good portion of skins fans are vaginas as you put it; telling you to sit down when our D is on the field, not showing up to the ST game because of a 70% chance of rain but thats what you get when most of the season ticket holders are upper class fair weather (pun intended) fans with the prices the way they are . . . sometimes it sucks being lumped together with these people

There was a few empty seats scattered but for the most part it was a good crowd. It's kind of hard to get to pumped when its 9 to 5.

The tribute was very moving though. There was alot of ST support out there which was great to see. Not alot of exciting plays though. CP ran for 50 yards on 25 carries for god sake...not too exciting.

I knew we weren't going to lose this game, though, not yesterday. However, we decided that we going to go conservative and try to "out Gibbs" em. Then i knew that we blew it. Unfortunately, the fans have become used to it. I've become used to. I used to be a glass half full fan, now not so much. So maybe that's partly your answer.

It was a shame that during a moment of silence to honor a fallen Redskin, that you had people who didn't have enough respect to keep their damn mouth shut. Sorry, but only a complete moron would do such a thing, and if I offend someone, so be it. And I saw a few people with their hats on during the National Anthem. Some people will never understand...

It was certainly a weird vibe at FedEx yesterday. Went with a friend of mine, taking the Landover shuttle in, and caught up with a few friends at their tailgate for about 10 minutes before heading in. Got to our seats in time for the start of the honoring. Watched a Redskins fan (female) look like a total ignoramus by throwing not 1 but 2 chicken tenders at a Buffalo fan (yes the Buffalo fan was mouthy, but not disrespectful at all...until he said I will whip your ass when our entire section just happened to go silent). Stood for most of the 2nd half, watched in awe as the Skins gave the game away, watched another fan get held back by 2 people to not go after more Buffalo fans, and had a solemn walk back to the Landover shuttle in the rain.

Yeah, I parked in that random ass parking lot all skewed out of the way so my walk back was quite humbling. We sat in a good hour and a half of traffic and just sort of talked about the experience. I didn't go to the game for a win, I went just to be there.

I wasn't disappointed par se, but a win would have felt better.

On my walk back I witnessed a brawl between fans and it was pretty funny. A few dudes started slugging it out, and some big Redskins fan just open field tackled the Buffalo fan from behind. It was pretty funny.

Overall it was a somber experience. The CP touchdown was great (I'll post the video of it in a bout 30 min after it uploads to webshots). It was good to see the boys come back. At any rate.. I've got some cleaning to do, so I'll let this shit upload, and then post a link up in a little bit.

Cheers.
