wow...i have seen the promised land !!!!

that had to be the best crowd i have ever seen, heard,
or been a part of at The Temple of the Blue Star.

enthusiastic to say the least, loud, boisterous
( booing our idiot kicker when he was doing a big screen
public service announcement counts as boisterous) and
i will add influential.

i know the crowd noise had to in some
small way bother the colts. not near as much as ware knocking the fire
out of manning every chance he got but the noise did help. those passes
late in the game that were just a tad off can be attributed to the pressure
our d put archies little boy under. the majority of the crowd was pretty much
on their feet the whole game, starting with the first time the colts had the ball
and continuing till the very end. do you have any idea how hard it is to eat nachos,
drink something and stand up and yell at the top of your lungs ??

our offense started slow, then did nothing much the first half but our d kept
us in the game. the 5 (i think) penalties in the first half was pretty much what
we've come to expect. BUT...the interception return got things firing in the second half, romo settled down and the o-line started making blocks. i was not and am still not a bledsoe hater, but romo can pump fake and still release the ball quicker than
drew seems to. and romo plays with more enthusiasm..

when the game was over and the team was headed for the tunnel romo jumped in the air and kicked his heels together..which was exactly how i felt, i just couldnt do it without hurting myself. even ol Bill gets kudos for that long pass to glenn when we really needed a first down late in the game. i know i wasnt expecting it and im sure the colts werent either. so savor the moment, now get over it cuz we play again Thursday and im looking for the same kind of crowd and the same result.

later Poke

ps: i know i predicted 30-something points and if the kicker would have made his 2 kicks and if we werent just running out the clock at the end im pretty sure we would have had that many. close enough for me !

We were amazing loud Sunday, poke. How about the crowd booing Vanderjagt just as loudly when they showed his Verizon commercial on the big screen? Sure glad my last name isn't VANDERJAGT!!!!

I keep reading how loud we were but was anyone at the Turkey Day game last year vs. the Broncos? Sure it was the 1 time I was at the stadium for a game but it was absolutely crazy. Just curious if anyone was at that game and this game who could compare the 2.

i was at that one also...it was good but really this one was better.
this one was louder than the day emmitt broke the all time rushing record.

Wow. Nice job by the home crowd.

Manning flailing his arms and moving around must have motivated us to mess with his signals.

smarta, I was there for both games and it's a night and day comparison. Last Thanksgiving the fans were louder than they normally were. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the loudest, the fans are normally a 4. Last Thanksgiving they were a 7. This past Sunday they were a 9.5. I'm not going to give them a 10, because if they were a 10 I would have had to work so hard yelling at the wine-and-cheesers to get off their arses and make noise. P.S. I miss Vic's Pizza.

The Emmitt rushing record was loud, but it was loud in spurts until he broke the record. The crowd this past Sunday was loud THE ENTIRE GAME!!! Big difference. We didnt even want to leave afer the game was over. We finally packed up and went home after the 3rd quarter was completed in the Denver game.

The broncos crowd was good last year too, also the eagles crowd last season was outstanding and the best of the year I thought.

The colts game sunday was the best I have heard in the 4 years I have lived here and I have been to every game but this years giants game.
