Well now that Whiz, inexplicably, is keeping Chokers around, what kind of reception do you think he gets when he comes in for a FG attempt next week? I'll be there and i'm betting he gets booed off the field.

No doubt about it. Although I dont think it will make him leave the field. :)

Fans should cheer as loudly as they can. Maybe it will confuse neil and he'll actually make the kick?

As long as he is wearing Cardinal colors, I'm going to support him completely. Even if you think he should be cut, why would you boo your own player and wreck his confidence even more?

Why would the Browns fans boo him?

And since we all know that Card fans are silent as church mice, I guess the answer would be "no".

Yeah, why do you want to confuse an already shaky kicker unless you desperately want to lose???

They should introduce the Special teams unit at the beginning of the game so that all the fans can get it out of their system.

You boo a QB to let him know that he stinks, and to send a message to the coach that we're not happy, don't you? There's no other option than Rackers, so why boo him? Did fans boo him after the Kansas City, St. Louis, and Chicago meltdowns last year?

I will not boo him. There's a 20 percent chance he could make the kick and for God's sake I don't want to blow that tiny bit of hope by booing him and destroying his fragile psyche completely. I'm shocked he isn't already wearing an I Love Me jacket.

Yeah, but you usually boo a QB AFTER he makes a stupid mistake, not in anticipation of him making one.

That said, if he misses another 32-yarder (or worse), I'll boo just like I did last Sunday.

I think I now know why they don't allow banners to be hung at UOP.
It would look like laundry day in Tijuana this Sunday if they did.

Because the team doesnt focus on the fan experience.


THATS BULL

If you need a bedsheet that says "lets go cards" to be a fan than you need to re-evaluate what fan experience really means

Meh. Look at the other 31 stadiums in the league and you'll seen signs supporting the team. I'm not saying you should be able to bring in banners that say "Rackers Sucks" or "Wide Left".

I've wanted to hang a Dansby sign below our section since the joint opened, to no avail.

I want better fantasy stats on the scoreboard.

I want a running ticker of other game scores that are actually accurate.

There's always road games.

Me too. They did a good job with that at SDS. I was wondering where the running scoreboard was when I was in for the Lions game.

I am puzzled by a post or an item I saw in USA Today. It said Rackers had been complaining all year about the holder? Is there any truth to this or have any of you heard such a report?

The TV announcers said it was up to the holder to keep track of time on an attempted FG and not calling a timeout was on the holder. Of course, the coach I would think has a lot to do with that. Whiz flatly stated that he should have called a time out on the first FG and it was on him for not doing it.

Yes apparently Rackers has been complaining. Barr hasn't been the holder all year but since we cut Player apparently Rackers hasn't been happy. The problem is he wasn't happy last year when Capshaw was winning the job in camp from Player so I suspect the Cards sort of took his complaints with a grain of salt assuming he was simply mad they cut his buddy?

MY prediction, we lose Sunday, lose the next game, and then the last 3 weeks of the season Rackers is money and spends the whole offseason saying see I told you it was the holder. Then next year the first meaningful kick he has to attempt will miss wide left again proving that he's a great kicker when there is no pressure.

It's hard to blame the holder for missed 32 yarder. That's pretty lame on Rackers part if he did that.All's that is is an excuse. The snap and hold were fine.
