Home Field Advantage!

[robjay04]

Michael Irvin said after Thanksgiving that we won't lose another game at home. He was at the stadium, he felt the energy and it's hard to argue with the statement now.

Our rookie backfield has to prefer to play at home.

Our defense has to approve of having a "12th man" late in the game to give them that extra push.

We win every home game from here on out, our next "away" game is the Superbowl. IN TEXAS!

12th man matters, let's show the Lions that next week.

HFA. Let's get it.

The stadium atmosphere has always been underrated. I've been to several games there expecting it to be somber, but it was the exact opposite. It was loud enough not to hear yourself talk most of the game. It really doesn't come through on the tv broadcast, but the crowd was always loud. Now maybe it isn't Seattle, but it wasn't nearly like people represented it.

It seemed really quiet tonight, esp when the Bucs were going no-huddle.....

Like I said, I've been to several games and it's always been loud. If it starts going bad it would quiet down some, but in general it was loud. I'm assuming you were at the game today?

No, but I've been there before. The Washington game on Thanksgiving always seemed loud, even on TV. This one, not so much.

The tv is deceptive. I record all the games I go to and the TV broadcast never picks up what it actually sounds like. I'm not sure why, but that's the way it is. For the Thanksgiving game to sound that loud on the broadcast, it must have really been rocking in the stadium.

I think it is a big deal with this group--and especially if they were to play an outdoor and potentially very cold-weather team.
It also helps not to play dome teams in the playoffs on the road, but I think the uber-cold may be what this group should avoid if they can help it.

I think perhaps the crowd tends to get louder when their expectations are high. Maybe that loss last week vs. the Giants quelled that level of excitement to some extent. In any event, I'm hoping the playoff run we're in brings some raucous noise from our patrons. That always helps. We'll be at home vs. Detroit next week with our division title and home field advantage at stake for the playoffs. That should stir 'em up some.

The CBS and NBC broadcasts always seems the crowd noise is louder than fox.

Ive been to about 25 games there. It's not underrated. It's been good this year, but I've been to many divisional night games that weren't even remotely loud. It's been pretty underwhelming as a whole, but D/FW is a "what have you done for me lately" town.

12th man matters, let's show the Lions that next week.

Maybe closer to 11 1/2th man. Tough to match the loudness and intensity of Seattle's 12th man. That's been honed over several seasons.

 

[1972COWBOY]

Also, we want to avoid playing in frigid weather if possible

Texas A&M says hi. They started "the 12th man."

The only potential cold game we have left is in Philly in two weeks (and that one won't really matter). The rest will be played in AT&T, and then finally in Houston!

Dude...stop right now because I will shout Go Cowboys! right in your face you don't even know.

Unless of course, we lose next week and the Giants win... *runs*

Oh. It came through loud and clear on the broadcast. Some just don't pay attention. Was proud of the noise coming from the crowd last night.

You just couldn't play nicely now, could you?!?!?
