NFL Trash Talkers Thread

Sorry, 2fer I was overdue. Still partying from the Super Bowl ... not finding much interest in a trash talking thread full of non super bowl winners.

 

"In 2002, the Seahawks began playing at what is now CenturyLink Field. Every regular season and playoff game at CenturyLink Field since the 2nd week of the 2003 season has been played before a sellout crowd."

 

This. It's the nature of the game but I'd love to see it happen for all 32 teams.

 

Awww, that's so cute.

*pats you on the head

Now, run along and play while the grownups talk.

"Although the capacity has more than doubled since Lambeau Field was opened, demand for tickets remains high. The Packers have sold out every game since 1960, and more than 81,000 names remain on the waiting list (with a reported average wait time of 30 years)"

No one admitted to buying those tickets before last season.

 

So they started showing up in week 2, a year after they got a fancy new stadium?

 

I'm with ya! I'm enjoying seeing these children in here trying to attack 'Hawks fans, even though I've been wearing blue and green longer than most of them have been alive. They know they've got diddly-dick to criticize the team for, so in their desperation, they're going after the fans instead. I say, bring it on kiddies! I'll be waiting for your pouting and tantrums after your teams start the season at 0-6.

 

Not talking about you... just the fan base in general

 

Even the NFL itself is using the 'our scab refs blew it' excuse for Seattle.

Take a look:

Noone that follows football thinks that Seattle in the Clink is an easy win...but we'll see how you do without cheating refs.

I can't wait! Gonna be a whopper of a game either way!

 

That'll be a fun game to watch for sure

 

Oh yea. The gloves will be comin' off early. This is gonna be a fight. There WILL be blood.

 

Wow, check this shit out:

Cool article .. I'll summarize.

In one of the top 3 most boring states in the union people cram together to get warm on Sundays throughout fall and winter. The crowd is quiet and doesn't really participate much but they show up.

 

"Due to its concrete construction and the Seahawks' raucous fans, the Kingdome was known as one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL. Opposing teams were known to practice with rock music blaring full blast to prepare for the high decibel levels typical of Seahawk home games."

Anyone who is old enough to remember NFL in the 1980's knows the Kingdome was always full and even then one of the loudest places in the NFL. The NFL doesn't have historical attendance records but the Kingdome was sold out throughout all of the 1980's. In 1988-89 the longtime family Nordstrom sold the team to a California developer who immediately wanted to move the team to CA. He forced people out and the team dived. In 1992 they went 2-14.

That was the worst year for attendance in franchise history. Hard to read but the Kingdome still pulled 49k-sellout every game. That would still be top 10 in the NFL back then .. even when a guy is actively trying to move the team.

People who try and talk about Seattle Seahawks fans are uninformed idiots. Anyone who is old enough to remember the old AFC west knows what I'm talking about. Those teams, minus SD, we're all loud and very well supported.

I remember fondly Dave Kreig and Steve Largent. Dave went to my high school.

 

Its a game, you like a team, good job

 

It's crazy to see how low scoring old games were... I don't remember it being that way but I guess we've been spoiled lately with all the rule changes and what not.
