We back!

Crowd noise is going to be interesting. NFL is capping artificial crowd noise at 75 decibels when:

With a packed house, an NFL crowd can maintain 115 decibels when the home team is defending the red zone, or when the offense scores a touchdown. Brad Ricks is an audio engineer who has done sound design for multiple NFL stadiums. He says during an important drive, stadiums usually stay above 105 decibels. That’s as loud as a typical rock concert or a Boeing 737 at takeoff.

The Sounds of Silent NFL Stadiums

Crowd noise disrupting the opposition's offense is the biggest home advantage in sports IMO. It'll be interesting to see how much of an effect they can have with this artificial noise.

Reid going with full face shield.

The Kansas City Chiefs are my favorite team in the National Football League!

A game in the US with an audience in 2020 during a pandemic

 

[Panthaz89]

Really wish they would just keep politics out of sports.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Early lead for these two teams in the 2020 Woke Off

Really wish they would just keep politics out of sports.

Yeah, that pesky human rights thing! I WANT FOOTBALL, NOT RACIAL EQUALITY!

::sarcasm, if that wasn't picked up::

 

[SJSharksfan39]

So they want racial equality and I hear the Tomahawk Chop?

I'm getting mixed messages.

I'm getting mixed messages.

I thought they were banning it. People complain about the Red slur but Tomahawk chop is JUST as bad.

I thought they were banning it. People complain about the Red slur but Tomahawk chop is JUST as bad.

I thought so too. I mean someone has to play the sounder to start it right? It's not a fan-induced thing, at least the very first part of it.

By the way, that's my problem with this whole racial equality thing. There's so much mixed messaging, and I'm sure all these players are going to vote for a guy who has said some very racist things in the past and has been a politician for 50 years. Is it racial equality, or a campaign event for Joe Biden?

And by the way I fully Admit Trump is no different. I just can't help but feel like this "protest" is more of a campaign rally than anything else. You want to impact change. It starts at the community level, and most of the issues are happening in Democratically run cities, with Mayors who have full jurisdiction over the police.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Mahomes to Robinson for the TD!


...or maybe not after seeing the replay.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Water is wet, chiefs offense is broken

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Damnnnn that’s coming back

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Anyway, that's all I want to say about the politics of it and this is the return of Football. I hope tonight is a fun exciting high scoring game. The two most paid QBs in the league on the same field. Should be exciting.

 

[GKJ]

Felt like it took awfully long for the ball to pop out

Really wish they would just keep politics out of sports.

There are no sports without politics

Social justice is a bigger problem than anyone can fix right away.
But thanks for throwing water on it.

 

[John Price]

As someone pointed out above the notion of being aware of social justice yet continuing the tomahawk chop is sheer hypocrisy.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Is Mahomes a bust?

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Is Mahomes a bust?

Wasn't there a playoff game last year against Houston (?) where Mahomes didn't really start doing insane things until his team was down 20? There's still plenty of time.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Is Mahomes a bust?

Clearly Trubisky>>>>>>>Mahomes.

 

[John Price]

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Is Mahomes a bust?

Unequivocally

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

Oh man. That dudes arm did not look right.
