Gameday Thread: Browns vs. Redskins

[CRedskinsRule]

Two thoughts, maybe 3, from the game.

1st, it was the worst (most boring) preseason game I have been to. I go to one, maybe two, a year and this one was by a great margin the worst. 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.

Yeah I can see where he probably gets a kick out of running and enjoys the contact to a degree too, but he's gotta wise up already. He does us no good sitting on the bench injured.

As a season ticket holder that goes to every game, and has for a while, I can attest to the fact that we have among the lowest IQ fans-in-the-stadium in the league.

We also get really loud when our team is on offense.

It's what happens when you have decades of bad football. The quality fans stop going to the stadium and they get replaced by idiots. Hopefully a few winning seasons will restore the stadium attendee quality level.

Hmmm...as a long time Red Sox fan I saw the opposite. After 2004 Fenway was populated with a rich low IQ fan base.

Anywho when you are at the game your IQ drops it is the fun of being at the game.

Last night they said the Redskins have finished in last place of the NFC East 5 out of the last 6 seasons. Man we are a bad franchise. I knew that fact but it just really hit home when they said it last night.

Boston fans make any other fan base look better.

Not Eagles or Raiders fans.
