Ok so here it is... I think NFL teams have a hard time getting up for games because there are no fans in the stands...this is why teams are laying eggs... with no fans it takes the emotion out of the game not to hear 50k fans going crazy at games...granted parity in the NFL is greater than it has ever been but with no fans going nuts it doesn't mean as much...I used to think the fans were irrelevant and that like the 12's were a marketing scam... and I still believe its a marketing thing but I think fans in the stands builds a team's confidence especially D's when it's 4th and 1 with 1.54 left on the clock and the fans are going nuts...I'm totally convinced the Rams don't lose at home to the Jets with fans in the stands...
This is a weird year... no mini camps no pre season... no fans...
This IMO is why the Hawks have an edge with PC philosophy...
The Hawks are going to roll
LTH
Edit: I can tell you as a musician that there is a HUGE difference playing in front of 2 navy jocks trying to buy an ugly woman a drink in a small bar and playing in front of 300 people going crazy having fun...there is a HUGE difference...
