Thank You Skins Fans

Post by Justice Hog »

I want to express my personal thanks to all of you fans that have attended games thus far this year at Fed Ex.

Correct me if I'm wrong Jake, DEHog, Skinschic, etc. . . . but I think the fans at the stadium this year are much more energetic, louder, and more passionate than the fans of last year.

Sure, winning helps....but as fans we have to realize that we are, in fact, influencing these games played at home. I can comfortably say that we have something to do with the Skins being undefeated at home this season!!

So....from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being so loud, so passionate and I hope you will join me in continuing to be loud and passionate at future games!

I'm not a season ticket holder but I usually see a couple of games a year and the crowd at the Eagles game was the best Redskins crowd I've ever had the pleasure of cheering with, bar none. Makes me feel all warm ... that or the $7 beers.

You're right Justice...the energy in the stands is just awesome this year. It's OUR HOUSE and we're not going to let anyone come in there and tell us any different. It starts the second the clock starts ticking and doesn't end till the clock strikes 0:00. I love it. It's been a long time. And yes we are responsible for being undefeated and Gibbs and Bugel have mentioned that several times - they know it and the team knows it. Thanks to all Skins Fans this season...and thanks for not giving up your seats to the opponents.
Hip Hip Hooray!!!

Thanks go to the players, coaches, and, yes, the fornt office, for doing all they can to restore this franchise to greatness, and re-educate us, the fans on what Redskins football really is. After bumbling around for 12 years, there is finally a football TEAM in Washington again. The fans appreciate it, and we are showing it whenever we enter the hallowed grounds of FEDEX Field. :up:

I've been at two games, and the crowd has been great, way better than in years past. I'll even go as far as saying that this is the best year at FEDEX...EVER!!!! Finally, "The Package" is a true HFA for this team. :rock:

Keep it up, y'all!!!
Back and better than ever!

I completely agree that the atmosphere this year has been dynamic. Unfortunately, I wasn't at the Eagles game but even watching on TV you could tell there was less green and more energy than ever. Let's keep it rolling!

I hadn't been to a game in quite a while, but I must say that the crowd was LOUD. I really can appreciate how Coach Gibbs gets drained during these games. So much emotion and energy is used, even by the fans. I had to pace myself. During timeouts, fans were still yelling at the tops of their lungs, but I would wait until I saw the play clock strart because I knew I couldn't keep the yelling up for that long LOL!

The look on those Eagles fans faces was PRICELESS, especially after Sellers ran over Dawkins!

There is no doubt about it! In fact, I don't ever remember going to a game with such great crowds and evergy (even 1999) until this years games. From opening day until last Sunday night, Fedex field has been unbelieveable. People are actually cheering and on their feet! Now granted there are always empty seats but that is because of the 92,000 seat factor (The damn thing is huge). This is definately the first year Fedex has started to build character since it was built in 1997. 8 years later, we might be seeing a new RFK born... I couldn't be any luckier to be a fan of this team as well as a ticket holder.

On a side note: Last sunday night was the lowest amount of eagles fans I have seen at Fedex in about 5 years. LET'S KEEP IT UP!!!
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

The crowds have been a lot better this year, probably because we finally have a coach we all believe in and who is getting serious results.

A 4-0 home record doesn't hurt. I'll be at all 4 of the final home games and the first 2 fall over Thanksgiving break and the last 2 fall over Christmas break. I can't wait.

Yes we've done are part but we have to give credit to the Skins as well as JPM says 4-0 doesn't hurt. I think both deserve the credit one doesn't exist without the other...Notice hoow much more the players pump the crowd up this year I love that!!

I have been to every game so far, I plan and going to every game until I die and if the crowd stays as loud as it has been in these four games....I dont plan on seeing the Skins losing again
I miss you 21.

God I wish we had a second round pick.
