Saints attempting record Sun for loudest indoor crowd

[FootballMaestro]

How Pathetic, Desperate and Juvenile (the Saints attempting this "ahem" record, especially in light of 'Real Fans' in Seattle doing it already, when the Hawks beat down the Saints)!!   :sleep:

While these two teams are very familiar with each other, much has change since the last time they met.

 

One team comes into the game on an historic winning streak, the other looking for redemption after an historic primetime national beat down.

 

The NFCS lead is at stake, with playoff implications and home field advantage in the balance.

 

The Panthers are once again being billed as underdogs by the football pundits. 

 

The New Orleans Superdome crowd promises to be epically noisy and hostile.

 

In a year that has already had some of the greatest games ever for the Panthers, Sunday night's game has the potential to be one of the best yet.

 

Can't wait for Sunday night.

Yeah well who gives a fug? This noise record poo is getting old, sad, and played out.

Panthers on the Prowl.

 

 

 

Their fans better get the record fast,  because once we rack up a two score lead,  I have a hard time believing the fans will really be into it.

Seattle Seahawks acknowledged after Monday night's game that the "12th man" was an important factor in the game against the Saints. 

 

The Panthers are practicing with the sound of jet engines to prepare for the noise in the Superdome.

 

I would say the Panther's players and coaches give a fug.

Agreed. 

 

This is why if the Panthers win the coin flip, I'm hoping Riverboat Ron Rivera (who's albeit been rolling the dice well lately), will have the foresight to let the Panthers get the ball first, with the hope of scoring and shutting up that crowd. You certainly don't wish the opposite; with a loud crowd, leading to a potential turnover with the Panthers, due to some fugged up route or something (leading to more loudness, etc.).

I rather set our defense on the field first. It's what been working so far this season and I think they set the tone

Like Jordan Gross said earlier this week, once you get to a certain noise level, it really doesn't matter anymore.  So the louder they get will make zero difference as Cam will not be able to make audible calls regardless.   It is more about when they are yelling.  The main thing that hurt the Saints last week was they kept changing personnel and Brees had to take longer to make the call in the huddle because of the noise.

It will be interesting to see what Ron decides to do. 

 

I think your idea, to send out the offense first, is the conventional wisdom when facing a hostile crowd that is noisy enough to impact play on the field.

 

However, the Panthers strength has been their defense and our offense has tended to start out games slowly and finish strong.

 

With that in mind, I believe the case can be made for giving our defense a chance to shut down the Saints initial drive, while allowing our offense more time to acclimate to the dome's noisy environment on the sidelines.  The offense will also have the advantage of getting the ball first in the third quarter after making any needed adjustments during halftime.

Weather should always play into gameplans, domes ruin this.  It's better for the fans in the stands, but on TV, give me a game in rain/wind/heat/snow/ice instead of a game in any dome.

This franchise doesn't even deserve to exist.  Here's to another 40 years of irrelevance.

Rivera would very likely let the Saints have it first. Getting the ball back after halftime is a plus in itself, but when you factor in playing a division rival on the road, it's even more important. Swinging the momentum in our favor to start the second half would be huge.

True, once it is so loud you can't hear yourself think, it doesn't matter how loud it gets.

 

Inspiring the crowd to go for the Guinness record is a clever way to involve fans that might otherwise passively sit on their hands and not have a measurable impact on the Superdome noise level.  

 

Getting those fans involved helps ensure the noise level will actually be loud enough to interfere with the Panthers ability to effectively execute their game plan.  

 

Whether the Superdome crowd actually breaks the world record for noise is, at best, a secondary concern for the Saints organization.

If you are going to respond to me, at least have the courtesy to quote me. I was talking about noise records. Who gives a fug about dam noise records anymore? It doesn't matter. Loud is loud. This noise record poo is just shameless attention whoring. Just this season I've now heard of 4 separate teams trying to set noise records, and I'm sure there are ones I haven't heard of as well. Who gives a fug anymore? It's all poo anyways with the phones and speakers pumping extra in, I'd just as soon never hear of a dam noise record again.
