I read on another site that they were having technical problems with the roof, and couldn't get the roof open past the 20 yd line, or something like that. Who knows! I do know Kubiak likes the roof closed, so IMHO he should make the call.

As for the noise, it'll never change. Our wagon is overflowing with fans that don't know squat about football. I'm not blaming them, its just that they think they are at a high school or college game where there are no rules when it comes to the O being on the field. Hell, at high school games the band plays, the cheerleaders are making noise, and fans in the stands are going nuts. Some folks just DON'T know!

I'll probably get blasted for this, but, a huge majority of our fanbase is football illiterate. Owning a PSl does not make you football smart either. I can't tell you the number of times I've heard DIEHARD fans pull for the defense when the offense is on the field! Sometimes it's like a training session. I find myself teaching fans not to yell when the offense is on the field, and the next week I have to repeat myself cause there are new fans in those seats. It's ever changing, and some fans don't go to enough games to understand. Sometimes it's very frustrating!!

I honestly don't think that was the problem. It wasn't an issue, imo, until the end of the game when we were fighting our way back into it.

As has been mentioned before, it was one big play after another, it's kinda hard not to get excited. They were going no huddle so the excitement just bled over.

But to my recollection, the fans got quite when the offense got set.

I don't think we could ask for anything more. I don't think we should.

we should stop the first down chant they shouldnt even announce it over the speakers it makes to much noise

Well then...

Guess we're stuck w uneducated "fans" in the stands. It's even worse when Schuab is out there flailing his arms trying to get the crowd to calm down so he can hear.

Half of them are drunk is my thinking, LOL

Anyone else notice offsides on kickoffs?

I recalled that the Jaguars seemed to have players cross the line of scrimmage on kickoffs, prior to the kick. No calls. Seems blatantly obvious for officials to watch for.

Really, I didn't pay attention. Think I will go back and check it out.
Thanks

I just blitzed through TIVO and for sure, at Jag's kickoff after their 20th point. Then again, at 34 pts.

I saw a couple of borderline instances, nothing blatant to be honest. I don't think the refs are gonna call them.

20th point. Looks borderline, I don't think they would call it.

34th point; they were well behind the line.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the refs here, TB.

Watching the replay our tightends are the key to this offense

As long as Kubiak is the coach, I think TE play will be more significant than WR play.

I think we rely on play design more than exceptional skill to move the ball on offense.

It is why I don't anticipate a WR being taken early in the draft anytime soon.

Damn if I didn't know who won .id be crazy right now
