Field Condition

OK, I hear you all about they are crying or whatever. But this doesn't change the fact that this field is embarrassing. If we had our stuff straight, wouldn't give them anything to photo or video. Considering the RG3 play right before the 2nd TD where it looks like he first tweaked the knee, he was untouched. i think this field could easily have contributed. SAD SAD SAD. You would think Danny, a marketing guy who can control what Doc Andrews does and doesn't say, would take more pride in the field that is splashed all over TV. I'm just sayin...

Your exactly right with several points here. Nice post. Sad and embarrassing is right.

I don't believe anybody is trying to deny the facts about the field conditions.

I think the fan experience is great because of how long the stadium's been there, special rule consessions the NFL makes for Lambeau, and the fact that, for the most part, they've had a good team to root for, for the majority of its history. Most recently, theve only had 2 losing seasons in the past 20 years.

I'll have to say my experience is much better coming home after a win.

I don't recall having these bad field conditions in the past. With a natural turf sometimes it just happens. Might not have had time to put down new turf and even if you get down new sod if it rains sod can be even worse then what they had.

I kinda like the guy and he's done a nice job at Seattle. They've already made the playoffs twice and won 2 post season games. He's not like a lot of the other NFL coaches and it's nice to see a guy that's a little different.

I'm with you. I like Carrolls attitude/demeanor and find it refreshing. He's done a great job in Seattle... better than the job Shanahan's done here, in fact. Thats not a jab at Shanahan, but a compliment to Carroll.

Regarding the Monkey's comment that Carroll failed twice before, lots of coaches, including probably the greatest coach of all time, Bill Belichek, "fail" one or more times before they get in the right situation to have success.

This field has never really been in good shape especially in Nov & Dec. Even Doc Walker was calling it a pig pen after the Skins beat Dallas in the last game of the season.

Personally I dont think DS will put $1 more into that place than he thinks is absolutely necessary because he wants out of FedEx and into a new domed stadium as soon as he can the the taxpayers of DC or VA to build him one.

As much as I love the fact that we play in grass, it would seem to me with the type of speed we have on our team transitioning to field turf would play our team's advantage.

Absolutely! It's all about hosting a Super Bowl. Cha-ching!

This will be one to watch. How good is the grass in Denver this weekend.

I actually loved seeing that pig style playing surface at Fed Ex Field. It's pretty obvious that the people who are charged to keep the football field in decent shape failed to do just that.
