11-5 Next Season


mistere

Recommended Posts

Anyone can go 8-0 at home if their stadium is deafeningly loud. Just look at Seattle. When FedEx is as loud as it was during our games against Dallas and NY this year, no opponent can hope to win.

Someone asked whether FedEx or Qwest Field was louder, and I don't think it matters. As soon as the crowd noise goes above around 110 decibels, the players on the field can't hear a thing. Almost any stadium can produce that much noise as long as the fans are rabid enough. Good acoustics help (RFK was one of the smallest NFL stadiums during its day, but the overhanging roof trapped noise, a la Qwest Field) but it's really all up to the fans.

If we start off strong next year, and get out to a winning record, I can envision FedEx being a nightmare of a stadium for visiting teams, throughout the whole year. It was rocking early this season, and late, but when we started losing games during that middle stretch, the crowd noise really tapered off...
