NFL fans around the world should salute the Ravens fans

[PSG_Mud]

For saying what needed to be said.

You don't realize how many jealous NFL fans are out there that will never experience what its like to be a Raven fan in Balt.

[/quote]I think the fan base had a "moment" when everybody was chanting that expletive together whether it be at The Bank or from their couches at home. I've never heard The Bank that loud and it was great to see. Kudos to those in attendance tonight.

Agreed our stadium is magical. We don't need a dome to be loud.

wut?

Even Al Michaels said, hes never heard a louder crowd.

[redrum52]

Everyone I talked too said it was the loudest bull chant they had ever heard. I though the same thing live. It was so clear it was funny cause there was nothing they could do about it. Fans should start speaking their mind and this should become a trend at stadiums continuing tomorrow considering Hawks have one of the loudest fields.

[Purple Nurple]

Yeah. I've been there quite a few times and of course I watch all the games on tv. Watching from home, it was LOUD and the BS chant is historic, lol. Ive never, in all my years watching, heard it that intense.

[BMORElegacy]

Music to my ears.

[Moderator 2]

I actually just re-watched the DVR, and Al Michaels calling it the 'Manure Chant' was hilarious!! Boy that was fun.

[/quote]They couldn't dump it because it went strong for something like 2-4 minutes!

[admartian]

I just caught up with the game and just finished it an hour ago. I [b]felt [/b]the chant 14000kms (8600 miles) away here in NZ.

Good on ya M&T!

I think the NFL should be ashamed of themselves for allowing that type of product on the field. They always talk about protecting tthe shield, well they need to practice what they preach. Fans around the NFL pay great money to enjoy the sport they love and should be treated to much better product then that.

This was a great game by to great teams and for the refs to have that much impact on the outcome was horrible. Even though the Ravens benefited from them, a couple of those late Defensive holding calls on the Pats were embarrassing.the penalty on Harbs was embrassing. Ellerbe got kicked in the head, while standing up!, and nothing was called.

I have no issue with how either team or fans treated the refs. One good thing that came from is game is that the Pats and Ravens proved that you can allow physical play in the secondary and still have a great offensive game. Collinsworth said it a couple times, this was a late 90s-early 00's type of game, with defenders just beating up on WRs and TEs, yet both Brady and Flacco were both able to playy near flawless.

Hopefully the NFL takes note

[/quote]Too bad we didn't see an early 00's performance from our D.

[cursona pirate]

I really enjoyed the sound of everyone yelling.
You cant block it on tv!

Looks like the NFL took down the other video. Here's another (albeit slightly lower quality)

[inappropriate video]

[FerrariFan87]

I was convinced that the replacement zebras were going to throw an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the fans last night hahaha

Hint to others: Don't post the video in here, Mods are being stupid about it.

We're not there yet man. For years we've preached patience for our offense, now we have to do the same for our defense. We have a few games coming up where our D should be able to get their swag back.

We've faced some really good offenses that were able to attack us with misdirection and quick passes. I think we should be able to handle the Browns and Cheifs with no problem, so that should help heading into games with Dallas and Houston talented offenses.

At least for the first 5-6 games we will have to rely on the offense to put up big points and allow the defense to be bend but don't break, as nasty as that phrase is to Die Hard Ravens fans that love aggressive Defense.

"Unsportsmanlike conduct, trying to call a timeout..."

I was fortunate enough to attend the game last night, it was so intense....but the "manure" chant actually helped lighten the mood and get the fans back into it. A lot of people were leaving after the Pats went up 9 (maybe a lot of people had work early today?). Couldn't have been any prouder of our fans and players though!

[BloodRaven]

We've had it good no doubt about that.g

This is so true. The fans were starting to get a little soft. But the Refs gave us fuel to get back into the game.

I really feel the fans helped the defense against the Pats first drive of the game and the last drive of the game. You could sense the players felt our energy.

[Twistidfunk]

Very proud to hear that! Something needs to be done and the fans are escalating this. It is gonna get much uglier as the season goes on.

I don't know if people remember Cleveland fans throwing bottles and trash at refs after a game probably 15 years ago or something. I feel like this will happen again

[jus'_crAzy]

For those of you who were there, you guys just rock.

I really hope this sets a precedent for the rest of the fans of the NFL. Fan bases all over chanting their displeasure about the crappy product that's being put on display as a result of bad upper management.

Goodell has to know that we, as fans, have a voice too (as we clearly heard). Last night could not have made him happy.

I wonder what Mr. Bisciotti thinks about all this.

You know whats funny? As soon as the game ended, the "OOOoooo Oo Oo Oo OOOOoooo OOOOoooooo" started up and they showed a crowd shot. The Bank looked half empty and the chant was STILL loud as hell. Impressive!

[Gordo52]

Everybody I was with was chanting it too. haha, Raven Nation so strong.
