What are the fans like up there? I know a handful of Seahawks fans, and to a man they are much like we are on here. I'd call them fairly classy. They are the anti-Vikings fan IMO.

As for the game, I thought Greer cost us, but I'm wondering if his lapses had anything to do with the people we were missing on Defense. The red zone misses are frustrating, but the kicking game gets a pass since we signed the long snapper for this game on freaking Saturday.

We looked pretty good on O early and then we seemed to lose focus in the second half. It was definitely not a playoff caliber showing, but it was a step in the right direction.

The Lions played Dallas tough and got hozed on a few calls. I expect we'll give Dallas their first post-coaching-change loss on Thursday.

I don't think thats the exception anymore, I think its the norm.

I brought a Packer friend of mine to a Saints game 2 years ago and I've never been more disgusted with our fanbase. I was embarrassed.

I read a story on espn about a ten year old kid wearing a Browns jeresy at a Jets game getting tackled at a Jets game a couple of weeks ago.This stuff is getting out of hand.No matter how much you love your team there is no reason to act like that.

All fan bases have their morons and it's those guys that are the loudest. My experiences in Seattle were awful. One fan accosted me. Of course he had two other guys with him so I hardly retaliated.

Same thing happened to my brother. He's a Giants fan and after the Giants/Seahawks game 3-4 years ago the jokers there called him everything that they could think of.

The NFL and NFL teams should try harder to make the games more enjoyable. I wouldn't bring my family to an NFL game.

I don't think thats the exception anymore, I think its the norm.

You're right. I was at a Dolphins/Patriots game in Miami and two guys in Patriots gear were treated horribly.
