I just wanted to clear something up after reading some other threads. Monksfan, SBF, and Rob feel free to chime in since you guys were in the stands.

During the moment of silence there were a smattering of cheers and "I love You Seans" accross the stadium. It felt awkard, but given the circumstances, you know, all the rules go out the window. As far as the Cowboys fans being silent during the moment of silence, I wouldn't expect a Cowboy fan or any other NFL stadium to yell out "we love you Sean" because he 'aint their Sean, he's ours. So while those handful of fans probably didn't display the best decorum I wouldn't exactly chalk this up as, especially given the raw emotion involved, disrespectful. I honestly think it was a combination of fandom and raw emotion.

As I've said earlier, the crowd was displeased with Joe Gibbs. From the time I got out of my seat at the end of the game until I got on the Metro to head home, many fans were expressing their disatisfaction.
