dwight in philly Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 maybe it my buffalo bias, but i thought the crowds in cinncy ,philly, and indy were not like bills playoff crowds, any type of bills crowds. maybe they have changed the crowd noise feed, but i always compare a bills crowd to the game im watching, was not impressed with any of them.. seattle has the stadium structure advantage, but anyway, i just do not see the bills not having that crowd willing them to win.
LB3 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 We're the best. Seattle pumps in crowd noise, or used to, so I'm just gonna say they still do. Go Bills!
PastaJoe Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Bills playoff crowds made me giggle. So does the movie Office Space, which also came out in 1999.
Corp000085 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 So does the movie Office Space, which also came out in 1999. That was good.
May Day 10 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I was thinking that yesterday. Especially the Philly game. I wonder if it was the audio mix on NBC

You mean like the crowds we had in the playoff years of the 1990s. Like the great Houston come back game ? The playoff game that was blacked out in Buffalo because the great Buffalo fans could not sell out the game. Like the multitude of great Buffalo fans that gave up on the team and left that game early. It's a complete myth that Buffalo has great fans; even with our Super Bowl teams we had low season ticket sales and trouble filling seats. That's the reality.
LB3 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 It's a complete myth that Buffalo has great fans; If you say so. Smallest market, one of the largest stadiums (11th), sell out most games even though we've been terrible for over a decade. Yeah. We suck as fans.
sodbuster Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Did you just hear the crowd reaction in GB on that pick?

Well we did have an 80K+ capacity then and any game then would sellout in today's stadiums. Anyways. Its well documented that in Buffalo there is a working class element to the crowd/college atmosphere that is lacking in most NFL venues. I dont think we have the best fans or anything, but the atmosphere in RWS is up there among the best when the game means something. A home playoff game at this point would be crazy IMO. edit: Green Bay seems like the only crowd to really come across on TV so far Edited January 5, 2014 by May Day 10

PO'14 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I beg to differ...Indy fans in the second half yesterday were very loud! What do you expect when a team is killing you in the first half? And how about yesterdays borefest, 7-6 at half and then Saints taking the lead for most of the 2nd half. What are fans supposed to do? Cartwheels. And today, Cincy was terrible for the whole game!

Love the myth of the great Buffalo fan base. I was at the Sat home playoff game, a blackout against Jax, the place was a morgue.
Mr. WEO Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 The crowd can will a team to win?? If you say so. Smallest market, one of the largest stadiums (11th), sell out most games even though we've been terrible for over a decade. Yeah. We suck as fans. Well, second smallest market. But your point is well taken.
jaybee Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Well said. Love the myth of the great Buffalo fan base. I was at the Sat home playoff game, a blackout against Jax, the place was a morgue. People are voting with their wallets. NFL is in for a wake-up call. People dont go to games like they used to. The NFL is under attack from players, lawyers, referees and now the fans. No way in hell am I gonna blow a whole day, 300 bucks, traffic jams and a rip-off parking fee from a local to go to a game. The product simply isnt worth it anymore. In any city.

vegas55 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Well said. Love the myth of the great Buffalo fan base. I was at the Sat home playoff game, a blackout against Jax, the place was a morgue. My point exactly. Multiple playoff games blacked out. Lousy season ticket sales for a team that went to the Super Bowl. And so many fans who did not want them to go to the 3rd or 4th Super Bowl because they did not want to lose another one. Yea - great fans indeed
Mr. WEO Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I deserve that after nitpicking words with you earlier in another thread. Sorry!

Tim Tindale Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I'm pretty sure we hold the single-season attendance record in the NFL (set in 1991). I think I just read that somewhere. I'm not sure where the "trouble filling seats" comes from. Attendance was always fantastic during the Super Bowl years and we had one of the biggest stadiums in the league.
