Awkward referee moments are awesome. The crowds reaction was also hilarious.

 

[ShaneB]

Hell yeah for the Seahawks defence to potentially stop that 43 game run of 200+ passing yards. Fuck the pass game!

 

[cajunator]

Game is outside.

No.

 

[jWILL253]

Why does Turbin insist on running into a large crowd of people?

 

[distantmantra]

My bad brotha! Keep Lynch in there Pete!!

#freetarvaris?

I will beat my father in law if tha- noooo! Helmet off on the side!

Gruden bringing up the cold...

Just go all out. I want to see some fight.

The curves on these canopies are also key. “They are large parabolas,” says Bill Stewart, managing partner at SSA Acoustics, which is based in Seattle. Stewart was responsible for measuring the record-setting noise on Sunday night. “The curvature and angles of the canopies act to focus the sound energy onto the playing field, producing higher noise levels.”

These physics also change behavior. “Fans get caught up in it,” says Stewart. “They experience an intense increase in the sound levels that they would not normally experience in an outdoor environment, and are energized by it.” As a result, they scream even louder.

Over a decade ago, Seahawks owner Paul Allen told Jon Niemuth, the architect of CenturyLink Field, to model his team’s new home after Husky Stadium, home of the University of Washington. Allen wanted that crazed, college feel. So at CenturyLink field, the seats are relatively close to the field. In the north end zone, the design team created rows of aluminum bleachers. “When fans stomp on them,” Niemuth says, “things get really loud.”

Niemuth, however, did not anticipate the sound effects of the curved canopies. He calls this result a “happy accident.”


TL;DR: Tuna cry more (and research your shitty word of mouth knowledge)

Also from 1989


PALM DESERT — If you're planning to see a pro football game next fall, be careful when and how you cheer, and how long. And how loud.

Noticeably noisy cheering--at the wrong time--could bring a penalty of 50 yards or more against the home team.

The owners of the 28 National Football League clubs decided that at the winter meetings at Palm Desert Tuesday, when they empowered their officiating crews to penalize teams for overzealous crowds.

Referees were authorized to confiscate timeouts or, if necessary, walk off penalties against teams whose cheering fans raise the noise level to a pitch that disrupts the other team's communications.

At the Seattle Kingdome, for instance, visiting quarterbacks have for years complained that their teammates often couldn't hear the signals in the din.


The anti noise rules were made because of Seattle fans...

We been losing but we been loud

Gruden bringing up the cold...

Whats wrong with the cold?

 

[Vesmir]

what a shitty punt

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'll probably lose my fantasy week because of some garbage time points from Brees and Graham.

Too bad Christine Michael is inactive tonight. He's my favorite part of Seahawks blowouts.

The dream is dead

DBs are Pete's specialty. Also very good talent eval.

Look no further than the DBs at SC. Thomas only notable NFL player, but they locked teams up and played a ton of man free. Good teacher, along with his staff.

 

[unknownstranger]

This game has gone great for my fantasy team. Was down 8 with Graham and Hauschka while he had Lynch. Lynch hasn't done shit, Hauschka has 10 points and Graham has a TD.

He made Taylor Mays look good!

 

[Blackace]

Well if you ignore history you are spot on


Good work!

 

[Bowser]

And then we lost to the bills

Yeah but that was when we had #OldRon. #NewRon ain't gon' put up with that shit.

 

[RellyRell28]

Out of curiosity have Seattle ever been threatened with 15 yard penalty if the fans didn't shut up? I remember this happening in a 97 Jets/Lions game. I miss the Silverdome

 

[cajunator]

I dont give a fuck. Go Saints!

 

[Hitokage]

Uh oh, bending a little too much on this drive!

Ugh sucks to see us letting off the gas pedal but I guess it must be done, oh well :\

 

[jWILL253]

Dude, are you trying to earn a ban?

Also, why is Sarkesian joining the darkside right when the Huskies are primed to take the next step?

 

[Hitokage]

Dude, are you trying to earn a ban?

lol, a ban? More like a tag.

 

[RurouniZel]

I dont give a fuck. Go Saints!

*chibi Miku hug*

I'm still hanging in there. Depressed as fuck, but I'll watch the Saints good or bad until the day I die.

 

[greatestjediever]

all the more reason Lord Brady is da GAWD.

It's pretty clear Peyton let's Brady beat him just so he can laugh when Elisha embarrasses him in Super Bowls

 

[cajunator]

Argh. Come on guys.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

lmao. best part of this game

 

[Levyne]

I miss ron

 

[Coldnoodle]

:jnc

 

[cdyhybrid]

I dont give a fuck. Go Saints!

Can still win the division and get a bye. It's not the end of the world. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

 

[Big Baybee]

Man, this D is smothering our receivers. That plus the oline playing like complete shit.....

 

[Tamanon]

Stat paddin' time!

 

[Hitokage]

Saints are soft.

It's strange how often teams look so soft against us!

 

[Vesmir]

Here, have some more salt:

 

[Starphoenix]

This is flat out embarrassing for the Saints. The only high profile team I have seen play this poorly for an entire game all season have been the Patriots at Cincinnati. Amazing.

 

[Narag]

I feel this will have a long shelf life in here.

 

[cajunator]

We wont win the division. All season long the oline has been trash. A similar thing nearly cost the hawks several times. Oline is the most important thing.

 

[Blackace]

The rule changes in the 90s were because of Kingdome

We were so bad the fans needed to pitch in

You're not allowed to be 9-3 and depressed, how do you think that makes gata feel about the jags?

 

[Spinluck]

Breesus was a false prophet all along.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

This is flat out embarrassing for the Saints. The only high profile team I have seen play this poorly for an entire game all season have been the Patriots at Cincinnati. Amazing.

And they still had a chance to win in that game.

 

[RurouniZel]

Oline is definitely our weakness right now. We need to really beef it up next year.

 

[rando14]

surprised russell is still in the game

Hey, remember the 49er's in Week 2?

 

[DrForester]

No ball in the air that long should not be caught by someone...

 

[cajunator]

You're not allowed to be 9-3 and depressed, how do you think that makes gate feel about the jags?

I agree. 9-3 is still fuckin good. I mean seriously. Ix love to be 9-3 every season.

 

[RurouniZel]

I agree. 9-3 is still fuckin good. I mean seriously. Ix love to be 9-3 every season.

It's better than last year, that's for sure.

 

[cajunator]

What would be worse than that?
