First time poster, long time reader. I just saw this on the Omaha World Herald website as well. Wow. I can't believe it. I was at the game, and yeah, at times, on 3rd downs, the crowd would go crazy. But it didn't seem that loud too me at other times. Hmm. Sounds like some of the defense are wanting to play the blame game and not take responsibility for not doing their jobs. It's a catch 22 really, in that they can blame the crowd if we're "too" loud, they can't communicate. But if we're too quiet, they'd blame us for not being "in" the game to get them pumped up. Come on guys, have the hutzpa to admit when you made a mistake and take responsibility for it.
