Why The Bengals Won't Have a Good 12th Man

So if the guy next to me is all riled up, making noise and getting really into it, and he happens to blurt out a few curse words in the process; and then I go and call the Jerk hotline on him, that hurts the homefield advantage in my opinion. Now all of a sudden people have to watch their mouths instead of just letting fly with the noise and the passion.

This is going to make people mad, but I've been saying it for a while, Redskin fans need to sack up if they're going to make Fed Ex feel like RFK again. You can't sit there and just "have a pleasant afternoon." You have to bring the nasty. Us Skins fans took a good step forward last year, Fed Ex was much noisier. But it has a ways to go to join the likes of the Linc and Arrowhead.

Right. Because if we're all polite and courteous then the place will turn into LincField South like it has been in the years prior to 2005. I'm not saying be an asshole, but be loud and proud. Last year my Dad and I ran out the Cowboys fans in front of us JUST by being loud and obnoxious. I never said a word to them, I just clapped loudly as I'm allowed to do and eventually they left. If I went to an opposing team's stadium and everyone is all like, "Hey buddy, how's it goin'?" I'm going to be FAR more likely to invite more of my friends to the game and there goes your homefield advantage.
