One thing that's hard to tell when you play a team with similar colors is how many skins fans were in the stadium. In pre-game it seemed like a ton, but then the game started and I couldn't see any, but I heard the crowd erupt in cheer when the skins did something (So when we were on defense...)
What was the breakdown?

Eh, I'd say it was about 75-25 Bucs fans.. There were A LOT of Redskins fans there though.. Some, like myself, missed the entire 1st quarter waiting in the Will Call lines for 2+ hours, ridiculous. Thank GOD for TIVO!!!
I've heard some people say it was like FedEx south... Skins fans definitely represented!

I was there and we were pretty loud on when on defense. If you watch game right before Simms TD he is trying to quiet crowd but can't then whole offense is waving hands for silence but we got louder. He still scored but you could see they lost alot of home field advantage. They gave out flags and were telling fans on the big screen to wave them. Then they announced they could not tell them when to wave due to NFL policy. But a lil while later it was on big screen again.

Simms trying to quiet the crowd in a home playoff game was HILARIOUS. And while he was doing it, meanwhile one of the Redskins was waving his arms UP, trying to get more crowd noise. Classic.
