Accountability: Redskins fans, FedEx Field, Excuses, and a 8 game home losing streak.

Christ,that sounds awful.

Who wants to spend 7 hours in a parking lot?

With rain in the forecast, don't count on the stadium being filled.

Seriously? A cup of coffee, the Sunday sports page, and a breakfast burrito is an awesome way to start a Sunday tailgate. Get the canopy set up, the portable TV playing a Skins victory over the days opponent (I think this week will be the seat cushion game!!), some snacks on the table, fire the grill up, pop a top, and start playin ladder ball or cornhole. Or playing toss with the kid. I am dead serious when I say that tailgating on a Sunday morning is possibly the best medicine for the work week. It all goes away. I spend the morning with my family and friends sharing good food, good times, and then I get to attend a football game of the team I have rooted for since I was old enough to realize what was happening on the B&W TV in 1981. How does a day get any better than that?

Have been fortunate enough to be able to do it 3 times....3 of the best days of my life...met a ton of the best die hard fans on the planet including a lot of the crew here, MTH, TK, Pez, Huly, skinslove, bishtw, MIA, TLC & many more. Sounds crazy, but I STRONGLY recommend it, ESPECIALLY to anyone who rarely gets to make games. Nothing better.

So now it's at 8. WTF!!! MAYBE, just MAYBE they'll win next week, but I doubt it since the Vikings have just owned them the last few years at Fed Ex.

Other than early in the game that half the seats were empty, nothing to complain about once everyone got there. The crowd was loud and the Falcons were having trouble with it. Props to the fans

Fed Ex Field is NOT home! It has more in common with Baltimore than it does with "Washington." But hey, the politicians in DC didn't want to negotiate with Jack Kent Cooke and Arlington County didn't want it! So we got "Raljon."

Home is Washington-just ask the Nats and Caps!

The problem is, every time the crowd gets into the game and starts getting loud, the Redskins immediately **** the bed. Its like clockwork. I told my blother, after the strike to Moss and Fedex started bouncing like it was RFK.

Maybe they cant handle getting pumped up. Maybe the crowd noise distracts them on D, more than it does the opposing O because the opposing offense is expecting the noise. I dunno what it is, but its happened to much to be a coincidence. Just watch, next time the crowd starts getting loud, the defense will give up a score, I guarantee it.

I thought, at least by the volume coming over the feed, the crows were far more into it today than normal. It was LOUD when the Falcons were on O.

Well done to all concerned. Let's keep it that way going forward.

Hail.

Anyone know why the band played pregame from the club level instead of from the field?

Crowd was decent today, except still too many vacant seats in the upper level.

Hard to describe why, but getting down one of the escalators (one closest to the team store) from the club level today was problematic. They had it blocked off in the front so you could only get to it from behind the escalator entrance on the club level. Wonder if the incident a few weeks ago with the upper level escalator had anything to do with it.

Even with that, after dropping my mother off in New Carrollton, still made it to Woodbridge by 5:30.

Speak for yourself. I traveled all the way from Chesapeake today thinking it was going to be a nasty weather game. I also stood in the mist at my seat and waited to see if Cousins could take us down the field, instead of leaving. So, yeah.

[1972dodgedart]

I don't know what it is, but these gargantuan stadiums seem to drain crown energy. The new stadiums built for the Giants and the Cowboys are like this as well.

[DC9]

No chance this one goes on the fans. There weren't as many as there were for the Bengals game, but that place was loud. Personally, I have no voice today. Good job to those who showed up.
