Re: Payton wants more from fans
I rarely post anything.
If you want to sit on your rear-end at the Dome, then stay home. Give your tickets to someone who will scream their head off and affect the game. As to coaching and playing professional football, we think we know what we are talking about because we watch NFL Live or some other non-sense on tv. The truth is, 99.9999999999999999999% of us have absolutely no idea what we are talking about. We still have a chance this year so GET LOUD! |

Yes, you can sit on your ass or stand placidly while the opponent's offense is on the field, but in doing so you, in my personal opinion, surrender all rights to criticize the efforts of the defense. Watch the Seahawks fans the next game. You will not see a single person not raising all grades of hell when their defense is on the field. Then watch the Saints crowd and you'll see one in every two simply taking up space being useless. |

The last I checked, the Seahawks have THE MOST pre-snap penalties for opposing teams. Why? Crowd noise. Their fans KNOW they can change the game. I think some season ticket holders are turning into the wine & cheese crowd like the Carolina fans. |

As for the cliche' of "we don't know what we're talking about": There are some dumb fans out there, but there are a lot more of us that no more than we're given any credit for. Do we know everything? No, because we aren't members of the organization. You can be a professional athlete or coach, and you still won't know what's going on with any other team but yours, as far as game plan and what sort of financial plans a team might have. We can't know those things. But the game, itself, is not hard to understand. There are certain self evident truths that can't be denied. When you see something being done over and over again, and it isn't working, it's fair to say as a fan that it isn't working, and perhaps it's time to change some things. When fans are complaining, it's usually about pretty simple stuff. You don't need to know the ins and outs of what goes on behind the scenes to be able to observe the game of football and identify a problem. But we get treated like a bunch of dumb jocks from the coaches perspective. These guys give THEMSELVES way too much credit. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
