No use wasting time, lets get this thread a rocking! It's what we'll be talking about all week, might as well have a thread so we can keep it in one place rather then a couple dozen individual threads.

The latest ESPN power rankings dropped us down to #2 while the 9ers up to #1. After this week's game, it should give us a clear cut unanimous #1 for week 3.

gohawks!

Just for the sake of clearing up something stupid...

That woman was speaking into a condenser microphone. She could've been in a silent sound-proof room and it would have been extremely hard to hear her from a few feet away. I used to intern on a sports radio show and make sound bites, etc. That was a really dumb display.

Have you been to a Seahawks vs 49ers game? I don't know what a condenser microphone is to be honest, but it seems like a regular mic to me and the results are just about what you get if your at the game IMO.

:lol:
For the sake of science, that microphone could be condensor, but most likely is not, since mics used for loud or dynamic mic'ing are called dynamic microphones. Neither here nor there, since it is not the type that matters but the pickup pattern adn the gain level. Most microphones are cardioid which is the area directly in front of the microphone. Some are omni or various versions of cardioid that allow side or rear axis recording. That microphone in a soundproof room would have been very nice and if it was a condensor, that would be about the distance you would use to replace an actor's dialog doing ADR for TV or film.

The mics used in radio are large diaphragm condensors and get the low frequency booming sound due to very close mic technique that uses the proximity effect to create the sound. In this case, the pre-amp on the input stage has to be very low since the mouth of the person speaking is very close to the diaphragm of the mic. If that person moves back 3 feet, then yes it would be hard to hear them because the pre-amp is so low.

I have a degree in sound engineering and work in television post production including having been an ADR mixer for dialog replacement.

Well, I'll defer to you because you definitely know a lot more than I do about that. I know a bit; I used to record songs for people a long time ago & bought a bunch of mic's & stuff; but that was just a hobby...

But even I know that what a microphone picks up is not the same thing as what an ear picks up. And when she was just a few feet away from the mic' it sounded exactly the same as when the radio host is a few feet away from the mic' when I worked on that sports show. And they're in a room with no sound.

And of course I'm not saying the stadium isn't loud. That would be silly.

I am looking forward to a great game. It should be a knock-down, drag-out.

It is funny to me that people are talking up what a great performance the Carolina D had when RW torched them so badly. The Seahawks D was far superior over the course of the entire game after a rather slow first half. Newton was held to a career low in passing yardage. The fact of the matter is that both teams made mistakes but the Seahawks went on the road 3000 miles away for a 10am start and smacked the Panthers in the mouth. I fully expect the home field advantage to be HUGE in this game.

This isn't the Packers with their weak-assed secondary that Kaep will be up against this week. It will be a significantly greater challenge. Bouldin isn't going to be able to outmuscle the Seahawks secondary like he did to the Pack.

That being said, the Seahawks need to ramp up the pass rush and get some pressure on the 9ers. It was shown last year that they can get flustered in the face of adversity at the CLink.

The fans will be bringing it LOUD. Audibles will be next to impossible for most of the game.

Seahawks: 21
9ers: 14

Don't know if anyone's offered this theory on the Carolina game.....but, I think the Seahawks really kept the playbook closed some to keep the scouting tape relatively vague for the Niner's film study this week. Not to knock the Carolina "D", (which was pretty stout on the line)....I think Carroll and Co. have some wrinkles in the play calling on Sunday that may catch the Niner's asleep. The Hawks really played a conservative meat and tatoe's kinda offense IMO. We'll see I guess....Go Hawks!

I certainly would not discount that as a possiblity, particularly with it being the first game of the season.

The addition of keeping every player that was questionable or doubtful out of the game indicates to me that the Seahawks were playing it safe and resting up for the 9er game instead of rushing guys back for the Panthers.

Trying to keep the golden pipes nice and calm this week so they're ready to rock Sunday night. It's going to be intense!

I was thinking about that a little earlier, but I like to keep it as a surprise when I go to games.

My best guess is going to be Clint Dempsey though. New big time Sounder. Just clinched a World Cup entrance with the US team. Sounds good to me.

I seriously hope you are wrong, there is no way a soccer player would get me pumped up for a game. A better choice would be Mike Holmgren, who is in town and would likely be going to the game anyway. Or how about Michael Robinson, if he is well enough?

We don't know the outcome of this game, but we do know it will be the most dynamic atmosphere for a regular season game in Seahawk history. It will have the feel of a playoff game in week 2. We know that the defense always feeds off the energy of the fans and the team rarely loses at home when the fans are in full force. 49'ers will have a very tough uphill battle on offense because of it.

The x-factor will be turnovers and penalties and in a game this big there is no way to forecast which team will be on the losing end of either/both.

Like our chances? Of course we do and we should. I'd like their chances if it was at their home this early in the season. While I do think Seattle at full strength is the better team we have too many backups playing on defense and will be exposed by their offense. The home crowd will help minimize it, but not having irvin, clem, avril will hurt this week.

I honestly hope you don't need a good choice at flag raiser to get you pumped up for this game. They could trot out Bill from De Moines, Iowa, who's a middle aged tax accountant with 3 kids and a dog. He also likes lasagna, but doesn't love it. - And I would be absolutely ready to go because the magnitude of the matchup is already exciting.

I don't need any flag raiser to get pumped up for the game, but a good choice would make a slight difference in the loudness, if fans are left saying "WTF" or "who?" to the person next to them, instead of going crazy.

In your scenario, I would prefer Bill over a soccer player any day of the week. I know lots like the Sounders, but I am not one of those people. I do like lasagna, though!!
