Yeah, we weren'y there either but my wife said she heard the exact same thing on TV. Hopefully the majority displayed respect during the moment of silence.

And you know what's sad? The COWBOYS moment of silence was ABSOLUTELY quiet. Not a single person in that stadium spoke.

A couple of people that I know were at the game told me they heard players getting booed as the game was ending/over. "You suck Campbell" "F You Laron" Things of that nature

:doh:

Where the hell is this organization and city heading...

I missed the moment of silence that game but i can't believe that the washington fans were being derespectful. To be booing the players after going out and giving it there all is completely wrong especially after such a tough week. I did watch the Green Bay-Dallas game and i was actually surprised on how quiet it was, i'm glad the fans in Texas Stadium showed the respect they did because Sean Taylor deserves it....

Also to mention about the game being moved. I seen the question asked to Lovie Smith and he said that the bears would have no problem with that. To me that shows class and that the Skins want to go ahead and play the game.

Ouch!!!!we all know philly fans are the worst..i.e. cheering a broken neck micheal irvin..but that is flat out wrong...i hate to say it but you guys are right about Gibbs..as long as he's there we have nothing.he miss uses timeouts..not aggressive when needed such as the 4th and 1 vs the cowboys when we have momentum..and going for it on forth down instead of the field goal vs tampa bay..even a 10 year old playing madden can manage a game better..Gibbs aint the way he used to be..he's too care free..and we need intensity..vote Cowher for 08'

Ok, what your saying is all in hindsight and could have gone either way which makes these points irrelevent. He didnt go for it on 4th and 1 against the cowboys but if he failed he would be taking even more heat. Did we not have momentum in tampa bay, they had something like 30 total yards in the 2nd half. He took a gamble that you say he should have taken in one position and not in another? Contradict yourself more when making points thats the way to go. With these fans hes damned if he does or damned if he dont.

On that note Gibbs as made a few mistakes but there is nothing he can do about the players playing bad or being injured maybe Im making excuses for him and I was just as angry with the double time out last night but if he did ask the official and the official said he could do it.....<-that right there is the only thing that I can hold gibbs accountable for, stupid and unexcusable but he was probably under a bit of stress

As I have said before, the "cheering" that occured during the moment of silence was directly attributed to a guy yelling, "we love you sean!". I do not think those that cheered meant any disrespect, they simply burst out (briefly) at the cry of what most were thinking. That is just my take, and I was there, for what its worth.

As for booing the players, maybe it happened (to a small degree) but iit certainly did not happen on a widespread basis- don't judge the whole based on the actions of a few. While I disagree with booing, I do believe its each individual fans right- these are proffessional athletes and coaches- we pay their outrageous salaries. I realize and agree that it may have not been the time or the place, but these people invest their time, money, and emotions into the redskins, and I can identify with their urge to react, however untimely.

I forgot to mention that I do not believe that fans were booing the players...I think it was all directed at coach gibbs...
In the end people are sick and tired of seeing the skins try to sit on leads at the end of the game, only to lose....the timeout debacle was simply the last straw for them, manifesting itself in boos. This is not in defense of, but rather an explaination why (from my point of view).

People I spoke to said they definitely saw and heard players getting cursed at and booed.

You pretty much summed up my feelings on the outburst. I didn't really chalk it up as classless or anything like that. I do think it was just bad tact or decorum, but I didn't really frown upon it.
