In a way he is right. People don't get loud until the huddle has already broke and the teams are lined up. The PA guy has a really bad habit of killing natural noise in favor of the chop song.

The crowd still gets loud but they don't do it the same way they did it in the 90s. The 90s was more natural. Today is more manufactured.

I've always thought crowd noise mattered most once the teams were lined up and the QB was trying to give assignments/audibles. We do pretty damn well as far as that goes, I think.

Either way, it's mostly a myth. It's a way for fans to feel like they have some input, but it's mostly ineffective. Teams have just figured out over the years how to mitigate the impact. Teams that have a great HFA are just great teams. New England for example. They have an incredible HFA because they have been consistently loaded with talent and well coached. Not having to travel probably helps and a loud crowd (motivated by multiple SBs) contributes a marginal effect.

Did every talking head pick a different team in that segment? I cant believe anyone watches this scripted shit...let alone let it have any emotional impact on them.

"I like the red one...I like the blue one...nah, those are frauds..the yellow one is the real deal....don't forget about those sneaky greens."

If you are waiting for them to get up to the line, its already too late. They know the call and the snap count. GEt them while they are in the huddle and never let up, now you create a little chaos. Thats what the 90s was like. The crowd NEVER let up.

Southern Maryland boy huh?? I went to great mills... I was a few years ahead of LJ but we always played McDonough

Then collapse after collapse the crowd changed. Started when the broncos came in and drank our wine. The curse of Marty was in full swing.


Mahomes is our ONLY chance to change history and break this curse. Fat Andy can’t break it as he is a major contributor to the curse. See recent historical playoff collapses.

Love me some Larry Johnson. Love how being a Chief is more than a paycheck to him. Hes grown up as a man. Clearly he would have done somethings differently.

While I am sometimes a dumbass admittedly, I was being completely facetious here. I thought it was obvious but clearly with some of the people who actually believe that, it’s harder to decipher sarcastic posts from complete idiocy.

and then got his $$ and said, "see ya" !!:shake:

I give you shit because you really are that stupid.

I don’t think it’s an Arrowhead thing. Except for playing in Houston, we’ve been unlucky anywhere we’ve played a playoff game.

Parker deposited a homerun on this thread. /me loving stats and mean stuff.
