About that BOOOING at FED Ex Field

[hooskins]

I am probably one of the more optimistic skins fans out there, and a huge supporter of Zorn and Campbell. I hate negativity, but at the game I found myself booing. Why?

Well for multiple reasons. It was pathetic, and I was embarrassed to support the skins after what I saw. Even though we moved the ball it got very predictable. We bailed out on some 3 and longs/mediums by Campbell's mobility and Cooley's ability to adapt to coverage. It was sad that I, with very little experience as a playcaller(I play madden somtimes lol) could predict almost every call. All in all, terrible stuff by Zorn.

Also I think the first two boos were less on play calling but more so directed towards Thomas and Sellers for terrible drops. IMO the first half ending boo was completely justified. If players cant deal with it and doesn't understand why we are frustrated then they need to go back to grade school. They should be able to perform under pressure, and the whole "when you boo we play worst" is such a pussy cop-out.

The other boos during the FGs were definitely directed towards Zorn, and most fans around me were complaining about the calling NOT JC. I didnt boo at the end of the game as I left the game after our D's game winning stop. I was too depressed and sad as I walked to our car to even think about the booing. I have never felt this bad after a win. Ever.

All fair points hooskins. However, do you think the players know who is being booed, or do you think the fans are just booing the team in general? I personally don't think it's fair to boo an entire team, which consists of dozens of players, coaches, trainers, etc., simply because a few guys made mistakes.

I think many of the booooos were likely aimed at Jim Zorn and the offensive unit. That's at last what I was booooing in my mind.

I think it may have been a combo of both but towards the end it was most definitely Zorn directed. Although I am sure some fans were so drunk and pissed they just booed to boo.



But dude I have no problem with booing. Like I said, freaking grow up. The players sound like kids complaining about the other kids at the playground being mean to them. Was it wrong to boo at the end of a game? Maybe, but still like I said to Matty fans were not impressed with the product. They have a right to say whatever they want.

If the players are getting their panties in a bunch, they need to live a day in the life of Eagles or Raiders player. Geez, little drama queens we have on this team. Fans are fanatics. This is what they do; we love the team when they win and hate em when they lose. This is the nature of sports.

How do you boo just the few who deserve it then? They win as one and fail as one. Plain and simple yesterday they pooped the field. Every single one of them got booed and deserved it to me. Even if they didn't do anything wrong. If I was a trainer for them I would have been embarrassed to be part of it.
