NFC Team most likely to win at Seattle in playoffs?

[Ties5o11]

Also to the GB fans who bring up last year. remember that was in week 3 or 4. WAY before Seattles offense was fully functioning with our rookie qb. Wilson is a completely dif player now.

Honestly Seattle's offense isn't functioning particularly well through two games. The defense won both those games. Yeah they put up 29 points, but the defense set up a lot of those garbage time points and like 5 idiotic penalties by the 9ers helped as well. Seattle's offense, at this moment, is average at best, and probably slightly below average. However their D, until proven otherwise, is the best in the league.

And my answer to the question: Packers, Saints, 9ers, Falcons can all win at Seattle, in that order. I think a veteran QB like Brees or Rodgers can deal with the noise better than a younger guy like Kaep. Ryan can deal with it but the falcons are not as good of a team IMO as the other 3.

The Broncos then.

Oh fuck

If the Rams make the playoffs then I think they are the only team that can. The 49ers should but looks like Kaep gets so frustrated that it throws him off. Think GB and Atlanta would lose by 2 touchdowns in Seattle this year.

Just read something funny by Bill Bur the comedian who is a huge patriots fan.


"Seattle, their fans annoy the fuck outta me, they really do," Burr said on his podcast (you can listen HERE). "I am so sick of them getting all this fucking credit for being this loud crowd, the 12th man. You know who the 12th man should be? Your 12th man every week should be the architect that built that stadium because they knew you guys were just average fucking fans so they had to design a symphony hall to enhance how loud your cheers are."





Spot on bill. Spot on!

I'd have to agree with him there. If you take all the Seahawks fans and put them in another stadium, it wouldn't be nowhere near as loud as in the Clink.

Sorry, but that's just science talking.

I have been saying it for years. Its a well known fact that the stadium was specifically designed to reverberate the sound back to the field. Which is why listening to seahawk fans take credit is so humorous.

We were just as loud at the King Dome, nice try however. Hey Breaker didn't even add how Paul Allen could afford the best audio equipment to pipe in the noise this time. Must be saving that for later.

I don't know that for sure, but I remember that some other team complained about it. I think it was the Giants accused you of it. Wouldn't be surprised.

But I do know Bill Burr is right about your stadium being a symphony stadium. And that any 12th man award should go to the architect of it.

Packers

Uh.....Niners beat Packers...again. Seahawks thump Niners....again. A much improved Seahawks team beats up the Pack, no help from the Ref's needed this time

 

[pumpkinhead33793]

If there's a playoff game in Seattle, nobody's beating the Seahawks. We don't lose at the Clink. 9ers just had the best shot of the year and they shat the bed all at once.

Never say never in the NFL. I remember in 1998 when Atlanta upset 15-1 Minnesota in the Metrodome. They shattered the offensive records that year and punted like 6 times at home all year.

Nothing is guaranteed.

It's all good. We'll just have the Seahawks play the rest of the season in Husky Stadium. I'm sure the noise level there will drop drastically.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

You know if someone wanted to build a stadium to be the loudest, they would start with a dome or at least a stadium with a retractable roof. Their is only one reason the Clink is the loudest, just one, and that is because the 12th man takes pride in being the loudest. That's it...no other reason.

Now before anyone gets butt hurt, let me say that doesn't make us the best fans in the NFL, just the loudest. So many teams(not all however) have great, great fans and there is no "best fans in the NFL".

So spare me the all the bullshit about how the clink is designed for noise. I've been there and it's no different then many other stadiums.

While the vocal cords of Seahawks fans surely deserve credit for piercing ears, so do the designers of CenturyLink Field. Even though it’s a mostly open-air stadium, the building traps noise. While CenturyLink Field isn’t domed, two huge canopies — one on the east side of the stadium, the other on the west side — cover 70% of the seats. This design has two benefits. One, it protects fans from Seattle’s famous rain. And two, it pumps up the volume.

Yeah, so much bullshit. It's a stadium just like many. You can trot out all the random stories you want about how the stadium is designed for noise, we were just as loud at the Kingdom. All that BS about how noise reflects off this or that I'm sure could be applied to many stadiums. Give it up. The Clink is loud (just like the Kingdom was) because the fans go there with the intent to be as loud as possible. That's it...end of story.

Well to be fair, he only posted the link to a scientific study. Also, the Kingdom is a dome so naturally it would be loud.

I wouldn't take people's opinions to heart. If you truly believe it is the fans that make it the loudest venue in sports, more power to you. But, to be honest, it doesn't matter what the reason is. All that matter is that IT IS the loudest stadium.

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.”

So your saying that the guy who designed it is lying? He was asked to design it by the Seahawks owner, and admits that the extra boost to the noise was a "happy accident." But this is all a lie? He was forced at gun point to lie about it?

Did you even read the whole artice?
