Did that guy really post about some nonsense about artificial sound noise? Come to the stadium and see how crazy the crowd gets. Yes stadium design keeps that noise contained but how is that different than what happens in any closed stadium?
Nothing like being Qwest (I’m gonna still call it that), cheering your butt off and not being able to hear a thing because everyone around you is doing the same and it having an effect on the game.

Hey humbleminded85,

I have been to 100 consecutive games there. The noise is real, it isn’t piped in. Come to a game and you will appreciate the stadium and the fan involvement. I also know a lot of the front office people and have had a ton of behind the scenes” involvement. The noise is very, very real.

Come meet the 12th man. It’s pretty awesome.

Lynch is worth a lot more. Pay him. Take care of the contract now so we can focus on drafting Landry Jones in April.

Draft one. Runningbacks are a dime a dozen these days. It never ceases to amaze me when teams overpay running backs. See: Johnson, Chris.

Pay the man. He earns it. As for artificial crowd noise? Yeah, whatever.

Marshawn is only 25? Wow, seems like he’s been around a long time now. I would have guessed 29 or 30.

I love when a teams fan base is so loud, people have to create imaginary stories about artificial crowd noise(No U in crowd). It’s the loudest stadium in the NFL, because it’s always sold out, great stadium design, and die-hard fans. Why you so mad? Hater.

Would be a nice fit in Denver.

Just got done reading this recent article about the “Artificial croud noise” that quest field puts out. Thats amazing, to think that a NFL franchise has to put in fake crown noise through their stadiums speakers. What a joke. “12th man” must be latin for P.A system. Agree or disagree if you want, but im pretty sure “fake” crowd noise isn’t needed in a stadium of real diehard and passionate fans of their respective team. Not a Seahawk hater nor a NFC west fan, just a bluecollar fan that isn’t “artificial”. Just an opinion hawks fans, don’t get all salty cause we all know the truth hurts sometimes.

DeAngelo Williams seems to be the watermark for below average running backs. Lynch should demand nothing less than Williams’s money.

If Marshawn learned his lesson about staying out of trouble after the gun charge, or the hit and run, or even the theft of $20 from the wife of the chief of police, he might still have a big money contract up here in Buffalo…

But because he never seemed to learn his lesson, he was shipped to Seattle. I can guarantee it had nothing to do with his play on the field, the guy was great, a real bulldozer. Paired up with Freddy Jackson the two wreaked havoc in Buffalo’s backfield. Teams had to plan for not one but two great backs.

I was sad to see the player on the field go, but was more than happy to see the gangster type character leave.

Lynch will break down soon – Hes got a lot of wear on those tires. And although hes been good lately, hes got two strikes against him with Roger Goodell.

Pretty easy to see why Lynch’s average ypc has been low. The offensive line was in disarray last year, and this year, early on, wasn’t much better as Carpenter and Moffitt figured things out. Early in the year, it was 8-man fronts all the time, with teams daring Jackson to beat them. Once Jackson finally got the passing game going a bit, it started to create opportunities on the ground.

The line was just beginning to gel, and Lynch was starting to find space. That game against Baltimore was full of tough, gutty running, and he had a few nice receptions, too. He was easily the MVP of that game.

He’s only 25, so he has a few good years left. Plus, as long as people remember the Earthquake TD, he’ll have fan support.
