No Respect from the Media, yet again!

Maybe the tough factor has something to do with the team on the field and until last season the skins were not exactly world beaters at fedex and the raiders have been nothing special for awhile now.

We won't make that list (and probably don't deserve to) until we revive the vibe of RFK, stop having so many fans of other teams come to FedEx and make sure we hold on to fourth-quarter leads against pretenders such as the Chargers.

When we bring it as fans...there is NO harder place to play in the game....see: Bears, Chicago. It could be argued that the fans basically won that game for the Skins' with the 3 false start penalties...


But we don't bring it every week. We were awsome last season for the most part, but other than that, we were only good for a number of games in 2004. We still have some work to do, but if we keep up the way we were last year, there wont be a questoin.

Fed Ex will be on the top ten list in a year or two I think. Just as soon as we come out with all those offensive weapons and run up the score on a few other teams

[Beemnseven]

Cleveland isn't on there, huh? In my book, any place where the fans throw beer bottles at the officials as they exit the field has to be on any such list, otherwise, it's flawed.

And Green Bay? Come on, the mystique with that team is done. Their team stinks, and will be worse once that media darling Brett Farve is gone. Good riddance, I say.

Its called winning. Every year in the past all the skins fans came to the game with the energy and optimistic this would be the year. For the first couple of home games the fans brought the house. After a couple of losses the fans start to fad and the interest starts to leave. Think for the past 6 or so years we make all of those off season moves and everyone gets realy excited then it fads as the losses pile up. The fans can only do but so much and the team has to give them something to cheer for which they have not been doing until last season. So were doing our part its time the team and coaches do theirs.

I will have to give kudos to the Chiefs (the other tribe) very loyal fans,
very loud......and when all the fans wear their red jerseys.....very intimidating......

Dome teams shouldn't be included in the poll..noise is trapped. And Philly boos and makes noise at their own players and even Santa......just a totally disagreeable and disgruntled group.... At least they didn't include dallASS in the poll....in the past the Boyz fans were noted for poilitely applauding their team, and way back they wouldn't even allow their fans to bring signs into Texas Stadium........

I don't think that you can argue that Fed-Ex is a tough place to play. Besides the Dallas game last year, I can't think of many games where there was electricity.

Doc Walker on many occasions has pointed out that the stadium is focused on marketing instead of being a hostile enviornment. I believe that the home games are beginning to give them an edge but you don't lose games to teams like the 2005 Raiders and claim to have a true home field advantage.

[STPainmaker]

I do feel like we yeall our asses off but the open stadium and acoustics just doesn't seem that loud. I didn't go to a single game last year but on TV it seemed pretty loud.

[dmek25]

there were certain games last season where the joint was jumping.but i agree that the more we win,the better the home field becomes
