Bakin Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It’s meant as a distraction during the playcall from sideline to players on the opposing defense. I believe. I think the Pats do the same with the horns..and they are the biggest cheaters around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I voted indifferent because it does not overly bother me or make me excited. I do prefer the older make some noise methods. I also agree that they overuse it and that does make it worse.

coloradobillsfan Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It doesn't even make any sense when you think about it. A train horn signifies a large basically unstoppable object coming down the tracks at you But we play it when we're on Defense... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I wish we were more original. Like every team does the seven nations for kickoffs. And instead of the horn, what about a sound of buffaloes charging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 MEH. All stadiums pump noise on 3rd down to make it harder for the opponent. Why should we make it easier for them? Ergo. it's not useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Folks in the game day threads seem to hate the thing. I don't really like it; I'm not a fan of artificial noise making during sporting events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even have a train whistle at home that I'll blow on 3rd downs from time to time. It seems that many fans hate the horn. I even found a link to a change.org page trying to get it removed, LOL!!

BubbaT Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hate it with the heat of a thousand suns. It ruins part of the game day experience for me because I know I'm going to have to listen to the damn thing for over 3 hours. When the team is competitive, crowd noise grown organically from the team's play is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If I went to every home game, I may have voted to get rid of it, but it doesn’t bother me watching it on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Literally EVERYONE i've talked to about this agrees that the train whistle is not only annoying, but its downright embarrassing. As far as the lore goes of the team, it doesn't even make sense or fit in with our team. The sound of a Buffalo stampede makes the most sense, stampeding Bison would work. Perhaps even just having Native American drumming. ANYTHING BUT THE DAMN WHISTLE! The whistle is the equivalent of a siren playing at a dance music club. It was cool the 1st time u heard it 20 years ago, but now when it plays it makes you cringe. Please, just make it stop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillies Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Maybe change it to the buffalo rumbling noise instead. If not, I say keep it. They usually blow the horn while the O is in their huddle making it harder to hear and fans get a little louder as they come to the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
