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.

They can't, the NFL can't allow it.

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.

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

I think it might have been on the RB to turn it outside, maybe not designed that way, I don't know. I couldn't help hating Dick Jaron when he got so pissed off at the second timeout, like Gibbs was really trying to really stick on to him or something. Maybe it's my imagination, but he seemed pretty pissed. Whatever, it's peoples jobs on the line out there so they've got to play, I guess.

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."
