Fans Cheer Anderson's Injury?
-
my take on this entire season comes back to the fan's perception that we were making a run.
we thrust those expectations upon this team but they simply weren't ready for it yet.
last year wasn't a flash in the pan. a mirage? nope.
last year we were a blocked field goal (OAK) and a short field goal (PIT) from 12-4....hell we were an inbounds K2 leg from beating Arizona.....our D was the prototype the giants used for beating the patriots perfect season!!!!!
they just aren't complete. not consistent, not healthy. just good, not great.
i hope i have finally learned not to count my chix b4 they hatch. i told myself i'd stop that YEARS ago.
i finally accept we're rebuilding. we finally have a foundation.
but we're impatient. instead of counting years an administration has had, we count back how many years since a championship! this is (only) year 4, and we're closer than i can remember, but frankly some of our guys playing shouldn't be starting.
if everyone on IR etc comes back healthy that would help next year tremendously. if not, we're probably 10 positions away or more.
all our losses this year are to a who's who of the NFL--we've been in damn near every game.
and that's with no joe jurivicius. no #2 WR! that's nuts. if we had joe J, ryan tucker, robaire smith and a healthy d-line, and both safeties at 100% all year some of those "L's" would certainly be "W's".
anybody else miss Camp Peterson? damn. hindsight is 20/20. still, we're definitely better than '06.
bottom-line is we aren't goin anywhere long-term with these starters.
close but no cigars--kinda like the 80's.
the guys who make the starters into backups will be the ones to take us all the way........and hopefully keep us there for years to come.

they say a lot about the kind of man he is? that's ridiculous to me. put someone under lights and scrutinize him at his lowest moment of frustration.@hiwaygal said:
However, it's obvious DA is bitter and frustrated. If you are a professional there are just things that you DON'T say to the media or people outside of the inner circle...and he crossed that line. The things he said were unprofessional and say a lot about the kind of man he is.But here's hoping for as speedy a recovery as possible...and a future somewhere where he can be happy.
with all due respect HWG judging others says a lot about us. the most those words say about the kind of man he is is that he's a football player>>guys who don't have time for interviews or ties with vests, outdoor and game analysis shows etc because they're focusing on the game of football. interviews are a consession he affords us, a privilege not a right.
that guy was carrrying that crap around with him every day. i'm glad for him he was able to let a little out.
football isn't a game for pussies no pun intended. just let the guy vent a little, he's human.

Sure. I'll be sure to remind my customers next time they request a meeting with me that when they happen to be graced with my presence, it's a "privilege, not a right."

I think it's very sad that America rated the Browns as the worse fans in the NFL. I thought Phillie had that position wrapped up.
Is it possible to sink lower then worse? Maybe behind some of those Futbol teams in Italia?
I am just wondering where the team will move next?
Portland maybe? Toronto? I hear L.A. is looking for a team?
Even the players don't want to play there anymore. How sad, good luck while crying for another team because the CFL doesn't play in America anymore. Oh wait, how bout we start a team in the AFL? The Cleveland Browns...or will Lerner take the team name and colors to the new city?
Advice for all those idiots that either were booing or didn't show up because they are fair weather fans...
If I were the Browns fans I would start showing up for the games and treat the team with respect. Treat each game as if it's an elimination game.
Come to think of it the next game is an elimation game....enjoy.

You know why the fans are the way they are? Because this freakin' organization hasn't put a contender on the field in 20 years. You change this team, and you will have better fans. The fanbase has changed, but thats in thanks to the organization. The season ticket holders?....they're selling their tickets to any fool they can find to go down and watch the 3 ring circus that we call an NFL team. I don't blame Rogers for being pissed, the defense pulled off a rare miracle in holding manning from a TD...and we still lost.

In the NFL, you support your team win or lose. You can let known your displeasures within management without taking it out on the players on the field.
Do you really think they want to be known as the city of losers? I seriously doubt that, but things just haven't gone their way this year and their early season schedule was just brutal....
but either way you support your team win or lose....

I was paying close attention when DA went down, and I was under the impression the crowd was cheering as DA was getting up and Dorsey was coming in. It didn't seem like the crowd was cheering because DA got hurt. In fact the crowd yesterday, seemed to be asleep, it was so quiet at times.
Also Philly has brutal fans, who boos and abuses Santa Clause???

I am not sure if it was the batteries or the beer bottles that sank Cleveland to the lowest, but Phillie seems to want to hold on to the worst fans and have been insulted by the behavior ratings in Cleveland.
I would be careful if I were Santa this year. It might not be just snowballs they throw.

I'm hearing from people who actually attended the game that no one heard any cheering for DA's injury.
A friend of mine says the stands were quiet when DA went down, and then there was cheering FOR Dorsey when he came on the field. DA was about at the tunnel entrance at that point and the cheering wasn't directed for him getting hurt, it was in support of Dorsey trotting onto the field.
I was at both yesterdays game and the Tim Couch supposed cheering when he was injured and to be honest, it was hard to tell whether the crowd was cheering the injury, him getting up in one piece, Dorsey/Holcomb trotting onto the field, or all of the above.
The matter should be down played. You shouldn't be such a sissy and get injured and you shouldn't give the home crowd reason to boo your ass anyhow.
Scrap'em off and let's play ball.

Or as the great Peyton Manning would say in his TV commercial...."rub some dirt on it".
Thats what Couch should've done way back when against Baltimore and what Anderson should've done yesterday.
I would also agree that it is nearly impossible to tell whether they were cheering that he was injured or cheering that he was on his feet because even the biggest Quinn fag would have to agree that Anderson gives us a better chance to win than Ken fucking Dorsey.

The local news showed what appeared to be fans jeering Anderson as he was helped to the tunnel. Couldn't hear anything, but DA was starring up into the stands and you could see an occasional guy golf clapping.
There were a lot of Colts fans there, maybe they were cheering in relief that DA wouldn't be available to beat up on Peyton any longer.

I heard the fans booing. I heard some when Winslow went down too. I guess it's plausible they were Colts fans but either way that's horrible. These people wouldn't know a quarterback if he was playing in a stadium right in front of them. No wonder this town lost it's team in the 90's.
