[quote=DynamiteRave;501476]I noticed that as well, was going to mention it in the game thread.

It's becoming a weekly thing for the opposing team's fans to come in our house and dominate.[/quote]
No - it's becoming a weekly thing for the opposing [B]team[/B] to come into our house and dominate. Read Om's excellent thread on this. He's spot on.

I didn't notice it on TV this week. Were you AT the game, Meks?

Re: 4th and 4 ... chants of D-fense overtake the stadium...
 

i live in new jersey. no i wasnt AT the game, nor could i afford to make it to more than 2 home games a season... thats not the point here.

and i heard it loud and clear so did the rest of the ppl i was watching the game with..

not to mention a noticable cheer at the end of the game ....

sucks.

Re: 4th and 4 ... chants of D-fense overtake the stadium...
 

The offense is getting worse as the season goes on. If the defense only gives up 14 points, we should expect to win handily.

Another thing, why do we always make stupid plays? I'm talking about Rock Cartwright downing the ball on the one yard line, then rolling into the end zone. Also, Rock's fielding of a kickoff and having it bounce off him out of bounds at the 13 yard line. I don't mean to single out Rock, because he's one of my favorite players, but the Redskins haven't been playing smartly the last few games, except for the defense.

[quote=Mattyk72;501771]On TV at least it looked and sounded like a strong home crowd, and nothing like the Steelers game.[/quote]

I was there and we were loud. I didn't hear many cowboys fans were I was. (opposite endzone of the band) Most cowboys fans didn't really yell to much. I yelled as mush as possible and of course like after every game I go to I wont be able to talk to loud for the next couple of days. Anyway could have gone better considering i drove 500 miles on sunday to watch the game and just got home around 11.00 am.

Charleston sc to fedex is not a short trip!!

Re: 4th and 4 ... chants of D-fense overtake the stadium...
 

There are 92,000 seats in Fed Ex...there are alwasy going to be visiting fans in the house especially when they play teams like Dallas & Pitt that have strong national followings. But as other people have commented before if the Redskins would play better at home we wouldn't hear them.

Re: 4th and 4 ... chants of D-fense overtake the stadium...
 

When the team started to tank it in the Preseason I guarantee alot of people sold their tickets off for whatever they could get for them. I know people who didn't want to go to the games because of the preseason and the Giants game. A LOT of tickets were sold then to whoever would buy the tickets. Think about the mark up. You can have a ticket that is $130 face value and end up selling it for 5 times that amount sometimes. People want to make a buck. It happens, unless your team isn't around anything. There are a lot of Cowboy fans in the area so it would've been fairly easy for them to get tickets.

Wow, that is a drive and it must seem even that much longer after a loss.

What section were you in? I was in that same endzone, and while there were a bunch of cowboys fans at the game, there were less of them that I would have thought.

More to the point, I didnt hear much loud cheering for them until they sealed the game. Yeah, it's annoying, but sadly that's what you have to put up with as a fan of just about every DC team. If the Redskins were dominating year in and year out we probably wouldnt have to put up with it.

Why is that not the point? That's exactly the point. The blame for the number of opposing fans falls squarely on the home fans who choose not to go. Obviously lots of people can't go, and that's fine, but they certainly shouldn't complain. Its insulting to those of us that go to every game.

I wish I knew of these people paying 5 times the ticket price when I had my season tickets. I had trouble just getting face value.

You and me both.

Re: 4th and 4 ... chants of D-fense overtake the stadium...
 

Seriously...anyone who deosn't/hasn't had season tickets and therefore has never tried to sell them has no idea what they are talking about when it comes to the market for these tickets. Everyone ASSUMES they can get X amount of dollars for a ticket. Issue is that for every Dallas/Pittsburg ticket that is worth double face there are 4 or games worth almost nothing. The disparity is THAT MUCH. No one...NO ONE wants tickets to a St Louis game for anywhere close to face value because so many people just don't go. Supply drives the price way down. If you can take a pair of season tickets and sell them for face before the season you're lucky...very lucky. Usually you have to sell the pair for individual games and hop the monies from the big games counters the pantsing you take on all the others.

Re: 4th and 4 ... chants of D-fense overtake the stadium...
 

I was at the game and didnt really notice that many Cowboys fans. I did however notice that many of the Skins fans didnt cheer for the Skins, or even make any noise when the Cowboys had a 3rd or 4th down for that matter.

Yeah, I was at the game, and it was a good showing for the Skins' fans, in my opinion compared to the Steelers game. You're going to get opposing fans regardless, but it was a pretty good home crowd, IMO...just didnt have too much to get excited about.
