Game Ball for the crowd

[BobbyC81]

Didn’t see anything about game balls.  I would give one to those in attendance.  They were really loud.  A few times I could barely hear the announcer.

There was talk on WGR today that the Bills should keep a total of false start penalties the crowd causes for being as loud as they are and place it as a running counter in the stadium I like it.

They used to. Not sure if they do anymore. I haven’t looked for it in a while. Basically a running ticker on the Jumbotron every time a false start happens.

People have gotten on bills fans in the past about being tired at the night games from tailgating all day. I was in attendance and it was an A+ effort for the crowd. I even got into the noise making and I usually don’t. My throat hurts today.

Pretty sure they have done that in seasons past

 

I remember after some fall starts back in the day the jumbotron would have a tally of how many false starts or delay games have been caused at home for the year

Mine does too. That was my first game in Buffalo since 1989 and there used to be nothing like that. It was wild.

You know what’s weird is that the crowd has evolved over the last few years. I’m not saying that it’s good or bad. A few years ago people entered that building SO fired up. Before the game started that place was ELECTRIC. 
 

Since 13 seconds the crowd is more reserved before the game. It is almost like “wait and see.” The flow of the game is dictating the energy. They are still VERY loud but we have a little less arrogance. It was loud last night and it has been loud at times over the last few years. It’s just not as aggressive/loud in the parking lot/walk in/player intros.

Yes. Everyone outside before the game was very stoic. Almost a nervous anticipation. Don’t get too high or too low. A wait and see approach.

One thing I noticed on TV there was not as much noise as in other games when team was on offense.

That Pats game was a gut punch for everyone.

There were very few Bucs fans there. They just all happened to be in the section that we were in.

When we have a huge offensive play and then watching Josh trying to hear the play was a little frustrating, but man, if I was there for some of the amazing plays I can say that I could not hold back mine voice.

I saw a decibel gauge on the score board in a college game last week. If Buffalo does not have one they should install one. The crowd would really be louder at times and give us a bigger advantage.

Don’t you just love Hill a couple of weeks ago says before the game, there is no difference between the Bills fans and any other fan base.  Then after the game he admits they are different.  Tyreek, not to self, you may want to rethink calling out fanbases.  I too had ifficulties at times hearing the announcers.

 

Good call on handing out the game ball to the crowd.

[haroldwaide]

Just wait till we get the canopy to reflect noise back onto the field...I predict at least 150 decibels...and the world record.

I’d say that comes from the let downs. Went to the Dolphins WC in January and it was easy when we were rolling the 1st quarter. But for the rest of the game, it felt like every 3rd down we got loud for, we got a timeout or they gave up a conversion. By the end my voice was done from trying to get everyone up for the 3rd and 4th downs a game many were sure we’d let slip away.

TNF must have really lowered the volume on the television broadcast because it felt the exact opposite watching it on TV. Very quiet.

[BADOLBILZ]

It was pretty loud and it impacted the Bucs, no question.   I didn't take a play off.   We could be much, much louder though.

[Chandler#81]

Love the lights off during player intros at our night games! Who wouldn’t be pumped up to be there?

[0017]

It was awesome! We were 8 rows up and I couldn’t hear my son in the seat next to me, I don’t get to go to a lot of games (from Cali) but it was insane! Also we made it on Buffalobills.com fan photos my son had the foam Buffalo wing hat 😂 

 

Best experience ever! Buffalo is amazing! Everyone is so nice! 

[Buffalo Boy]

   We are on our way back to Charlotte and neither of us have our voices back.

   Front row, upper deck and it was really loud at the right times. Add the perfect weather and cool fireworks, it was the best night game I’ve been too.
