I mean when you think about it no fans in the stands really would hamper any motivation as far as crowd noise goes. I don't care what other teams are doing when we've toted Arrowhead as being an advantage in forever because of crowd noise you got to think playing to a quiet arena especially on defense you're kind of not very pumped up. I mean you look at last year and hell we were down in the playoffs and offense came back so the defense has always pretty much been the same. Dirty Dan is either the star or he stinks and should be cut. I know these guys need to dig down deep but when you look at what we did last year oh, my God the only time we got it together and held a good team was actually the super bowl but then again they had people cheering for them and they were pumped [Reply]

I never even notice if the crowd is or isn’t there during games unless they pan out and show the stands.
The product itself seems the same as ever. [Reply]
This defense has been good except for the 2 games against the Raiders and against Carolina. Carolina had to make some really ridiculous plays to score some of those points. They also had McCaffrey back for that game which makes their offense damn good. In the other 7 games they've given up 16 points per game. [Reply]

That’s a good point on Carolina. They had a couple of top 10 catches of the year probably on the same drive IIRC. [Reply]
I love not having fans at the games. Sunday night was awesome listening to the calls on the field. This fake crowd noise is for the birds. I love hearing all the audibles & defensive calls. [Reply]
The games without crowds definitely lack energy, I have a hard time getting into them. So it wouldn't surprise me if it had some type of effect on the players as well. [Reply]
I read somewhere that despite only getting one pressure on the raiders they are still top in qb pressures. Low in sacks on the year but getting to the qbs. [Reply]
