The 12th man

Stepped it up bigtime on those last few drives by the Vikes. I think had we had TKO in there instead of Ellison, we would've stopped them from scoring that last TD.
Anyway, that was honestly the loudest I've heard it in there for more than a play or two since the 98 game against the 49ers when we helped them to have 22 penalties and cause Steve Young to be so frazzled he lined up under LG

Fans leaving early miss thrills

Sorry to dump water on the fire that is burning in western New York this morning because of a pulsating 17-12 Bills victory over Minnesota on Sunday, but what's up with the fans at Ralph Wilson Stadium?
Last week, there couldn't have been more than 30,000 people still in the stadium when the Bills scored a late touchdown to get within 28-20 of the Jets and then recovered an onside kick that gave them a slight chance of pulling off a miracle rally. On Sunday, there had to be about 10,000 fans on the way to the parking lots, some already in their cars driving out of Orchard Park, when the Vikings marched downfield in the final two minutes and produced a heart-pounding finish. more

Honestly, until I made it to the lot, I hadn't realized a lot of people had left...was too into the game...but this says a lot about the type of fans who stayed if we could be that loud without those 10,000 people. Maybe those 10,000 extra voices could've helped stop that final drive

Fans who left early

Re: The 12th man

Agree! I could never leave early. The come back game should have taught people.

Re: The 12th man

I remember thinking how pathetic the crowd was yesterday so it's interesting you say this. They didnt' really get the volume up on the defensive plays like it used to be throughout the game. Then people were leaving. This is what you get when the league allows officials to decide who wins games and our GM blows us smoke for several years...you end up with a bunch of commercial soap opera fans and the fans of football are staying home.

Re: The 12th man

I didn't stay home...not a fan of soap operas...and on the last few drives, the crowd was pretty loud...I heard a lot of people on the way out of the game talking about it
Guess you had to be there like a lot of us football fans were

I didn't say all the fans...just a higher proportion and it shows.

well, so far Jauron, London, Jerry Sullivan, and the Rochester paper have all commented on how the fans stepped up

Exactly. I love how the fans that stay home critique the fans at the stadium and the sound. Yet the fans that stayed home have no right to say anything because they were too cheap or too lazy to go.

yeah I'm not a real fan like you. All of this blow hard crap about the fans is a marketing strategy to get more people to the games. I listened to the crowd. in the 4th quarter it got loud but I was surprised because it wasn't like that the whole game. Maybe those were the times you were out getting a hot dog.

Re: The 12th man

If you aren't at the game then don't comment on how loud it was because you can't tell over the tv. It was the loudest consistently that I can remember for some time.
