stuckincincy Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 You must just be pulling our chain. 437986[/snapback] No. My sunset is just around the corner. I merely encourage you to not be hard and harsh.
scribo Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 No. My sunset is just around the corner. I merely encourage you to not be hard and harsh. 437990[/snapback] I don't mean to be hard or harsh to anyone -- but the opposing offense. I just believe that anyone going to a Bills game should know beforehand that there will be tens of thousands of people there screaming their heads off -- because that is what the players want fans to do in support of them.

I don't live in the 18th century - I realize what's what but this was the first instance in my recollection that you have used harsh words here on this site. So I responded - poorly, it seems. We are not enemies, scribo.
The Hornell Kid Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 The 12th man sucks....sorry guys, but the sound was pathetic. I was sitting a couple sections off the tunnel in the 2nd level and the sound was loud for the first 3rd down play and then it died. It was like a funeral home. So many people are scared to act all crazy. All people need to do is clap their hands even with a little bit of screaming. If 71,000 people did that it would be deafening. During the Texans TD drive the crowd died until they got close to the end zone and then it picked up again. 437949[/snapback] Section 203 was full of a bunch of pussys. I am ashamed to have season tickets in a section that wants to sit the whole game and people who leave at the end of the 3rd quarter.
LabattBlue Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 I think there is a huge difference in expectations here. There is nothing wrong with people who scream their lungs out(while sitting down) versus expecting people to stand through most of the game. I'm not sure what advantage fans are providing to the Bills by standing and yelling versus sitting and yelling. PS I'm not talking about standing at the end of an exciting play, I'm talking about Joe Fan who turns his back to the play whenever the Bills are on defense and implores all the other people in his section to stand up with him. Like I said earlier, can you yell louder when standing up?

But, you're correct in that there is no reason to try and stand the whole game.

Like I said earlier, can you yell louder when standing up? 438037[/snapback] Well I never said anything about standing the whole game. And yes I can definatly yell louder while standing. I belive you should be standing and making noise the whole time the defense is on the feild except during commercial breaks
34-78-83 Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Exactly, who's talking about standing the whole game? And yes, you can yell louder when standing up.

Someone must have a noise level meter. I have a hard time believing that you can yell louder just because you are standing up?
taterhill Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Exactly, who's talking about standing the whole game? And yes, you can yell louder when standing up. 438058[/snapback] and bang on the seats

So I would think that would carry over to fan yelling
IDBillzFan Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 I'm not sure what advantage fans are providing to the Bills by standing and yelling versus sitting and yelling.438037[/snapback] Labatt, I watch every Bills game from the comfort of my family room and I can not recall the last time I ever sat down during a game. Not at my house. Not at a bar. Not at the stadium. Always standing, sometimes yelling, always cursing. No reason for it. Just can't sit.

I am ashamed to have season tickets in a section that wants to sit the whole game and people who leave at the end of the 3rd quarter. 438026[/snapback] Oh really? I stood for the majority of the game and didn't leave my seat until the Bills celebrated mid-field.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 You can definitely expell more air when in a standing position. We did an experiment in one of my biology classes last semester that measured this. I would think that more air expelling would equal louder yelling.
The Hornell Kid Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Oh really? I stood for the majority of the game and didn't leave my seat until the Bills celebrated mid-field. 438107[/snapback] Good Job I only left at half time to take a leak. I was in row 5 seat 3 and people in the two rows in front of me left at the end of 3rd to beat traffic because ith the game was "over". And the first 3 rows sat the whole game. You will see me wearing the mask im my avatar against the falcons. It was too Dam hot to wear it sunday.

NotStuckonStupid Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 you know it loud when our offence tried to quiet the crowd.

BRH Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I think people should stand and yell the entire time we're on defense, but I've also always felt there's no reason for the crowd to be standing while we're on offense (until after we make a good play or score, at least). There are far too many people these days who think they're supposed to yell while we're on offense, too. THAT's embarrassing.
