Here's the actual article and commments:

I agree with Gibbs's move to Brunell -- as well as with my friend, the Ol' Ball Coach, who used to say, "If one guy can't do it, try the other guy." What I do not agree with is Gibbs congratulating the fans at FedEx Field for making so much noise Bears QB Kyle Orton had trouble getting off his plays. I call that behavior bush league. In similar situations at NFL stadiums, the QB should step back and wait for the noise to subside, or until the home team is hit with a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.


So Gibbs should have criticized the fans for being too loud??

Talk about a guy who just doesn't get it.

This is one of the most retarded statements I've ever heard.

When was the last time the home team was hit with unsportsmanlike conduct? If we are EVER hit with that, then we really CAN talk about a referee bias.

Noise is something you're going to get in every stadium. Not only that, it's VERY subjective. What one ref might deem too loud another one would think is fine.

Bush League? How about 3rd grade book report level of journalism?

How loud was Texass Stadium? Did we whine?

What an idiot.

That's the dumbest thing ever published by the Washington Post.

I guess it would be better if games were played in empty stadiums, then...

Cheering loudly is what makes going to games fun!

I'm flabbergasted....

The scary thing is that George Solomon is the head sports section editor if I'm not mistaken! :banghead:
