Fumble on the snap. Campbell looking confused and embarrassed, and the coaches just wishing the players would actually make a play and take some of the pressure off of them.

Yes, I agree that Redskins performance was subpar (to put it kindly) but I believe that as a TRUE FAN you need to support your team 100%. Yes, you may not agree with what they are doing and you may hate the coach/play caller/owner. But regardless, they are YOUR team. Win or Lose. And while constructive criticism is expected, things like booing, calling for the entire coaching staff/team to be fired, etc are not supportive. I've was absolutely appalled when I went to a Caps game this past season and during a break they zeroed in on Fred Smoot and Chris Cooley (I think) sitting in the front row. The entire Verizon Center then proceed to BOO THEM! What disrespect! You're in your own city! At least give them some support! So Bravo to this post. It takes a true fan to understand that win or lose, at the end of the day, your team is still YOUR TEAM. Yes, you can get mad when they make bonehead mistakes. Yes, you can get frustrated when they lose. But do not disrespect your team. Do not call for everyone's head on a platter. If that happened you're left with nothing - and then what kind of team do you have? You don't. If you want to switch teams, fine, but then gracefully accept that you are a "Bandwagon Fan". Bravo.
