I can't stand him because of his terrible play, his dropped interceptions, might I add this is his second time talking about this. You would think he would say hey, maybe we should play better, rather than complain about the reactions they are getting from playing bad.

Seems like he is saying they should play better

"I love these fans. We've got good fans. Good, supportive fans," Rogers said. "Yes, they hard on us. And we do give 'em a reason to be hard on us, because we're not winning. But at the same time, you do want that support and encouragement that, 'Y'all can pull this out.' Or, 'Y'all can turn around.'..."

I've got no problem with what he's saying

He can say all he wants, but guess what, we never see it. I will talk down on them till they give me a reason to talk good on them. There's a reason I go into games with the feeling we're going to lose. It's not because of me, it's because of them.

“Me and some of the guys were talking about that earlier..."

Please tell me that Rogers didn't actually say he was talking about this with other players. This is what they are talking and thinking about when they were playing the game?... no freaking wonder why he drops interceptions and the team's record is not any better than 5-6. It could easily be 7-4 if they didn't sit around publicly or privately blaming some of the team's failures on fan support.

Just imagine hearing a TV analyst/reporter saying this during the game ... and Carlos Rogers drops another interception. You can blame that again on the lack of fan support. It was really bad right before the ball hits his hands. Let's watch and analyze the fans' support or lack of it again on instant replay...

So the players aren't allowed to do anything but think about the game? They aren't allowed to have private discussions about the fans, their concerns, their thoughts on the season, their careers etc.?

Yeah they're allowed to, but how long has Rogers had the interception dropsies? Him talking about this with the media and discussing this with other players - goes to show you where his focus and priorities are.

You can talk about anything you want, but if you want to improve on your obvious faults that can mean winning and losing the game, then I would think you talk about and work on that.

And his way of discussing the fans is a subtle way of throwing us under the bus.

the way i look at it is we fans spend a crap load of money on tickets to go to the games and pay their salaries. If we want to boo at the piss poor play then as fans we have that right. Not taking anything away from it being right or wrong, but give us something to cheer about and the booing stops. It is really that simple. I have been going to the games since I was like 5, and honestly i never really remember fans booing at RFK, it has gotten exceptionally bad the last few years. And I understand why. I live in Charlotte now and can't go to many games, but i sit and curse the TV and say we stink all the time. I would probably be joining in on the booing if I was sitting there watching the crap they have been putting on the field.

My best guess Carlos probably wont be back next year. So, he better not sign with Philly because if the boo Santa, they will certainly boo his sorry not catching ass.

Me either....The entire team is well aware of the fact they haven't been playing well, but they don't need to constantly be reminded through some of the behavior I've come to witness at some of the games. There's a way to voice displeasure without being just plain rude and disrespectful.
