The only time it gets loud at Arrowhead - Page 2

I wasn't at Sunday's game, but I was at a few games last year and listened/watched all the games in the last several. It seems to me that the only time our crowd is into the game is at the opening minutes of kickoff and our first series on Defense.

I have noticed that our Offense (offensive) takes the crowd completely out of the game with the play calling. You have this huge home field advtg. and it is withered to 50% (Defense only) because of an inept, unimaginative offense. I was watching the Rams crowd, and they are fully into the game and charged when the Rams are on offense. They have something to be excited about. They know they can score on any play.

What a great advtg it would be if the Chiefs could get the other 50% of the crowd participation during the game, but I don't imagine we'll see it until we get a new OC and a few playmakers.

nj - nevermind - I re-read your post... thought you were saying 'go watch [i]insert team name here[/i]' if you don't plan on being a 'homer'.

Browns fans aren't so perfect -- there are boo-birds in every town. I would think the Cleveland fans would know better than to expect too much from a second-year team.

Chitown was exactly right when he stated that the offense takes the crowd out of the game. It took all of 3 plays for the crowd to stop cheering and start booing, and with good reason. The Chiefs had just sacrificed a possession in an attempt to set up ONE long play action pass later in the game, which never came. It's as if the crowd EXPECTS to be pissed of by the offense before the game even starts.

At least the D never got booed.

If you think there is no Arrowhead advantage anymore why don't you listen to the interview of Manning after the game. He clearly stated how tough the crowd was.

Chitown,

The team is boring. The fans cant get an identity with the players because its a revolving door of free agents year after year. I dont know about you, but I cant get excited about six dive plays in a row.
