This is a story that people are going to make a big deal about when it’s really nothing. If the Chiefs win it’ll have absolutely nothing to do with Lawrence’s statement. That is a debatable issue. It is sufficient to say it will be louder than in Jacksonville. More to the point it will be louder when it interferes with Lawrence's signal calling.

I have to age with this - it’s not about *how* loud, moreso *when* it’s loud. Jacksonville is going to be kind to Lawrence when he’s barking out orders at the line. Crowd doesn’t get loud for the home team like that… KC on the other hand - it’s going to be like a jet engine going full throttle anytime Lawrence is on the field. Not saying he can’t drown it out, but it’s a different situation compared to last week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I think Lawrence was trying to compliment his own fanbase about their support and passion and instead it's more or less become bulletin board material. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really both. I’m not here to debate the differences between 125 dbl and 175 dbl - the human ear can’t really discern the differences at such high dbls, so saying “loud is loud” is more or less a statement about biology vs anything else. 125dbl, 145dbl, 165dbl - unless Lawrence is part sperm whale, it’s not going to register any different.

.Buzz Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 “We knew that they were gonna be jacked up for us to come in, and expecting to beat our ***. But we were ready for it,” Burrow said. “Playing in the SEC definitely, definitely helped. Gets way louder in the SEC than in any of these NFL stadiums.”https://amp.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article257714573.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not arguing that there won’t be a difference between the opposing team being loud and your home crowd being loud. If people are arguing that Lawrence’s statement is a little dumb, then I’d agree. But people are going to try to argue that somehow the Chiefs fan will be even more loud and it is going to make some sort of difference in the game…which is stupid. It’s a home playoff game for the Chiefs…of course it’ll be loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be as loud as that game. It’s gonna be cold The record performances were in early September and October, when stadiums are loudest Trevor Lawrence has already seen the Arrowhead crowd, but it really wasn’t a playoff atmosphere either. It was an easy win and Jacksonville never threatened Saturday will be louder, but probably not approaching that 142db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I’m making the drive down to Arrowhead. Hope it’s a good game regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in the KC locker room is going to be getting fired up before the game going "OH MAN, TLAW SAID HIS HOME CROWD WAS LOUDER, AHHHHHHH!!!!!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamq Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I've only been to a handful of stadiums, but there is nothing like that KC crowd. When they are all in unison on 3rd down or in the RZ you can almost feel the sound blasting you in the face weather won't really be a factor for the fans. The low is 25 with some light rain/snow flurries, thats nothing a pair of gloves, stocking cap, and a beverage or 4 can't handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct IMO, the most effective bulletin board material has some type of personal nature behind it. I think a lot of this is drummed up nonsense, but this is actually the best kind for KC right now, because the fans are likely irrational (fan is short for fanatic after all) and may rally behind this nonsense, while the players and coaches can be nonchalant and say things like "We look forward to the opportunity and we know that we have the best fans in the league" without being in your face about it.

Yeah, they will. It's not TLaw said his fans were loud. It's TLaw dissed our home crowd. Pumping the volume is a good in-game game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but this "material" looks like it will more so affect KC fans attending the game, rather than the players. If they needed extra motivation to be loud, this is it.
