SF Bills Fan Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have the game TIVO'd but haven't watched it yet, but I'm curious how loud the Bills fans sounded on TV whenever AZ was on 3rd down. The Bills fans were batshiiit at the stadium. I didn't watch the game at my normal bar in San Francisco, the North Star. I watched at a big sports bar near Pac Bell. There was no sound. It seemed like all crowd shots contained a majority of Bills fans in them. Toward the end it was a dejected group. It was ugliness. It was cat juggling. I hate stadiums that have to create enthusiasm around minor things. In Buffalo, we know if we moved the chains and we cheer without prompting and wait for a TD to really go crazy. I'd bet they manufacture crowd noise in AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet they manufacture crowd noise in AZ. I think the NFL attenuates crowd noise. They seem to minimize pans of the crowd - empty seats are bad for the image. In some early '70's late game...the HOU Oilers HC Bill Petersen, left the bench as his club was being smashed senseless and went up into the empty bleachers. The camera found him, he somehow knew it, and flashed the bird. One of the tv announcers said "Well, that's one fan's opinion" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 That was even worse in Chicago, because during the 'pause, pause' the entire crowd yells "FIRST DOWN" Jacksonville was liked that too except the crowd said "move those chains" 3 times. Very annoying. I started doing it everytime the Bills got a first down just to annoy them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha...this old guy... http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/20719...host=good-times ...up by me couldn't decide which team to cheer on (he was wearing a Jags jersey, Jags hat, and a Bills hat on top, turned the opposite direction) so he did that EVERY time either time got a first down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guffalo Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Was I even with you? Your face is plastered all over the scoreboard at the Ralph, I was just grabbing crowd shots, although we shoulda had a group shot from the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I noticed my picture did not show up. Probably same thing which happened at last two tailgates - the camera malfunctions when pointed in my direction even in group shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 5146 - Where is that hand reaching? As for the "First Down", Miami does that also with the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
