NFL players ranked the most intimidating fans and Buffalo doesn't even make the top 15? What happened to RWS being a house of horror for opposing teams? Ranked behind all these painted fruitcakes in costumes? This is sad, I am ashamed.

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
Oakland is a joke to be on that list, there fans may been intimidating (my life was threatened multiple times while there) there is only a couple hundred of them. We went to the home opener there a few years back and were able to walk up to the ticket office and buy ticket 3 rows up on the 50 yard line.
While teams once feared having to come into Rich stadium those days are long gone and the road to the Super Bowl was paved over with the new Ralph
.
But the fact that the fan support has remained strong through 10 years of heartache and disappointment should not be overlooked. I have heard the stadium rocking more than a few times over this miserable decade.Last edited by zone; 12-07-2011, 06:42 PM. -
Re: How the mighty have fallen....
Kind of hard to be intimidating when you keep losing for 11 years...True fans want wins, not draft picks.

I feel like that list is crap.
The stadium was as rocking as ever early on BUT 11 years of **** is wearing us down.Comment

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
Funny thing is dome stadiums like Indy and Minnesota are on that list. I think playing in a dome helps them because I do not see them as intimidating especially Indy.
Hard to be intimidating when down by 20.Comment

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
Some have to quit looking at the past. The players are voting on the stadium of the present and recent past and not stadiums from 15-20 when they were not even playing.
The truth is over the past decade and especially the past several years or so the stadium has been a joke and is far from one of the top stadiums in the NFL. All the blackouts is all the proof that you need.

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
There hasn't been a whole lot to go to the Ralph and get loud about the past 10+ years. My family had season tickets through most of the 90s but going and watching the game now is different. It's still fun, but now it's more tailgating and watching drunken brawls in the stadium than watching a competitive, winning team. I used to go to the games in the 90s and my throat would be sore til Tuesday from all of the yelling, but the few games I have gone to the last few years is just to more people watch.Comment

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
I was referring to a few posts that were saying it was a joke for us to be listed so low mainly based off the previous state of the difficulty in playing in Buffalo.Originally posted by HAMMERComment

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
Surprised that Seahawks fans made it on the list. They have one of the loudest stadiums in the country because of the design, but their fans don't come off as intimidating to me."There ought to be a room in every house to swear in. It's dangerous to have to repress an emotion like that." - Mark TwainComment

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
That ranking is a joke. How the **** are the Chargers on there and not the Bills. Imagine how loud 70,000 of us would be in a dome during a sunday or monday night game. It would be insane.Last edited by BertSquirtgum; 12-08-2011, 01:42 AM.Comment

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
Any new stadium ideas in Buffalo should include a dome. Most fans want to stay warm.Originally posted by HurkeyNutsComment

Re: How the mighty have fallen....
I'm beginning to agree with you, TD. I have always been that tough, open air, sit and cheer in the rain and snow guy. But now that I live full time in warm and sunny South Florida, and watch Bills' games from the bar at Duffy's (or in the warmth of the Dolphin's stadium) I have to stop being that macho hypocrite.Originally posted by TacklingDummyShould have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
