The flags spoiled any flow of the game, and even when it gave us a first down, it just felt sloppy. And the stadium looked to be half empty (I don't know what the official tally was, but around my seats in the 2nd level there were 3 or 4 empties for every 1 that had someone). And that was at half time. I left at the beginning of the 4th quarter, and all the cars around my parking spot were gone by the time I got to my car.
2nd, it is really funny that most Skins fans will acknowledge that RGIII needs to not be stupid on runs, but one of the loudest cheers, including some Oh Yeah Way to Go's, was on RGIII's run where he got triple teamed before going out of bounds. You could feel it electrify the stadium like a defibrillator on a dead man's chest. Hard to convince him not to do it, when he hears the stadium's intensity go up as he's running.
and the extra point, well there are no more long extra points, ours was the last game for that experiment for this year. Now can we get back to regular football, with regular refereeing. All those preseason pranks from the NFL can back in the closet till next year thank you.

I lost count of all the flags but there were 8 thrown in the 1st Q alone. I saw one on Murphy that was pathetic. He was falling down near the QB's legs and they threw a flag. What's he suppose to do? Stop his fall in mid air? These zebras need to cool it. No one is there to see them throw flags.
