Big Turk Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Make no mistake...they effected the game. Ravens had a bunch of false starts due to them and those bad snaps were due to them switching to a silent snap count and the center admitted he didn't handle it very well... Bozeman, their guard said it was so loud he couldn't hear anything and he was right next to the center. Said it had to be as loud as a full stadium would be. Might be the greatest fan performance in sports history. 6,700 fans had a real and noticeable effect on the other team and outcome of the game. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2021/01/ravens-ol-share-how-bills-mafia-affected-their-play.html Edited January 18, 2021 by Big Turk 8 1 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I wonder if the lack of tailgating cut down on those who were “napping”? I kid! (Mostly.) I was so proud of how our fans represented! It’s hard to tell with the mix of piped in sound, but this sounded loud at the right times, not just background noise. Thank you to all who had the privilege to attend and stand up for our team! It looked like the Chiefs had far more in attendance today. I trust our offense to be ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I am shocked 6700 fans could affect two false starts. Makes it even more sour the Browns didn’t win. Bad things comin KC, bad, bad things. Hope you’re ready. It’s goin to be chilly. im actually excited for GMFB as you know our guy is going to talk it up in the am.

MJS Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 "The crowd was like it was at full capacity. Couldn't hear the snap count, couldn't hear really anything going on. Even at guard, I was having trouble hearing the snap count," Bozeman said. "Lamar was trying to be loud. It was as loud as max capacity in my opinion. The Bills Mafia, I guess they came together and cheered their butts off last night." Incredible. What a performance by the fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ManRaid Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 This is the biggest tragedy of the Browns failing to topple the Chiefs. If they thought we were loud for the Ravens, imagine Bills Mafia cranking it to 12 for a crack at the Super Bowl. But yeah, as someone put in another thread, there are logical reasons how 6700 can sound like 67000. - More rabid playoff atmosphere meaning 100% of attendees making noise as opposed to the majority sitting on their hands for regular season games tired and drunk. - Plenty of empty hard benches and seats to bang with hands and rigid signs, greatly multiplying noise without immediate buzz kill neighbors to annoy. - Lack of soft fleshy bodies covered in layers of soft clothing to muffle sound, more hard surface to bounce sound around. - Likely lax, hands-off security allowing people to get as wild and crazy as they like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Was anyone here at both playoff games? It sure seemed that the fans figured it out after the Colts game.

I do too, but if people are sitting nearby or resting drinks, I refrain from doing that. My voice was shot and both my hands felt broken in the second half, and I resorted to mule-kicking the bench behind me with my steel-toe boots. that likely wouldnt happen at a sellout, ha. It was full-fan participation everywhere. Normally you see the "Rockpile" seats all standing and wild/engaged most of the game. Everyone in attendance was in that mode from start to finish. They also played Kyle Brandt's hype video before kickoff and that set everyone off Also, of note.... there was zero sign of anything Ravens. Not surprising based on the rules, but still was a cool thing to witness. When the offense was on the field it was beyond silent and all you could hear was the strange white crowd noise coming from the speakers.

I saw a few ladies in the 100-level concourse at halftime with Ravens scarves who had come down the stairs from the club level... they may have been family of the players. Besides that, nada!
