Class Act
Just wanted to say I thought it was a real nice thing coming out with 10 players on D the first time.

Re: Class Act
It didn't hit me until a few minutes after they did it that it was intentional. Kind of like a missing man formation you see the military perform in memory of a lost pilot. Very cool indeed.

Re: Class Act
It was a nice tribute. Just kinda gay that the Bills run a play and it was a signifcant gain.

Re: Class Act
It was the right thing to do by the skins... but if they bills would have taken a knee, they would have lost a down... and it was still a game... and everyone is trying to make the playoffs.
Overall... I gotta love that the skins did that... Can't think of a more perfect way to honor ST.

Re: Class Act
They should have let us come out with 12 men on the second play...just to balance it out.

Re: Class Act
I think the 20 yard play was kind of fitting because we all know if Shawn was in it would not be quite as much, if any.

Re: Class Act
yeah i was at the game and i was waiting for the first defensive play so i could see this nice way to say goodbye to sean, but after the game i was listening to the postgame show on the radio and joe gibbs said he never new anything about it. How could he not be aware of it?? i was aware of it because of it being discussed on the Warpath.

Re: Class Act
The NFL wouldn't allow the bills to take a knee ... BS . It was a classless spiteful act .. Oh my god they would have lost a down. Given the offensive production of Bills in the first half i don't think it would have mattered .

Re: Class Act
Did it anyone else think it was lame that they ran a misdirection counter to the vacated side? I mean, there's already one less guy in the box. Why not just run it up the middle.
Am I overreacting? I thought it was tacky. |

Re: Class Act
Very lame. They should have just run right up the middle. Even a QB sneak

It's honestly difficult for me to care much about the loss and that's the honest truth. I thought Pete Kendall's comment after the game hit it directly on the head. "Someone said to me earlier, 'Didn't you think you would have a fairy tale ending?' " guard Pete Kendall said. "I said win or lose it was not going to be a fairy tale ending."
