10 thoughts - Rams game

Gandhi, thanks. But if you were disappointed with Benson, you should point out how good Demercado looked. I'm really impressed.

WOW! If you thought the Rams were hurting before did you see their latest injury report.
Lost Kupp, an o-lineman and a safety for extended length of time.

I thought Tre Benson was supposed to be the best running back coming out of the draft this past year?

He is really good in space, just doesn't seem to be great at getting to it without a clear hole.

What did you see, Garth? He only had two carries, but I remember one of them as quite impressive, while the other was obviously for 40 yards or something like that.

I found some information on him, though it is based on both games. He has been on the field for 16 out of 24 third downs, and nine of them have been converted. On 10 passing third downs, he has made successful blocks on four of them. So, it is clear that Petzing trust him quite a lot on third down.

I’m sorry if my post comes across as if I was trying to make out American Football fans are less passionate, I definitely didn’t mean that. The passion is palpable.

That video is cool! How come that singing / chanting doesn’t happen in the NFL? Although I’ve only been to three games, one in AZ and two in the UK so my sample size is small…

Nice of you to pop-in! Newbies buy, but I'll make it easy on ya; I'll have beans on toast and a Bass ale! Stick around and become a fan, if you've got a strong heart.

Dont feel sorry for them one iota

Yes, I know that different. It was also more of a fun thing. I immediately thought about that chant when I saw Gardeck playing like he did.

I wish it would be more integrated in the NFL experience. As you mention, there is a lot of people in the stands, and the fans can certainly make noise. I am sure that singing or chanting could become a thing in some of the many game breaks, and instead of using drums, the stadium DJ could kind of orchestrate it. I am sure it would make the experience more fun for everyone.9

I actually didn’t’ know what Krang shows in this thread, that it is a thing in college. I have never seen it in the NFL, other than Jets-fans with their J-E-T-S, and Eagles fans with their fight song.

I have been to a couple of Cardinals vs. Saints games in New Orleans over the years, and I like their chant: "Who dat? Who dat think they gonna beat dem Saints?""


As I walked around the stadium, people and children pointed at me and said "Who dat?"

My favorite is hearing Tennessee fans sing rocky top. In a big game when the team gets a big score and over 100k are all singing...chill bumps!

Def more common with colleges. Think fsu tomahawk chop, texas sings eyes of texas are upon you, six does the victory sign with their music. The only pro football one I can recall was the redskins had a song the crowd would sing 30 years ago when I went to games in dc.

My brother and I always like when the Cardinals played the fight song after scoring a TD. We would always sing it when they scored:

"The Cardinals are a charging,
let's cheer them on their way,
we'll shout out with all our might,
we'll show them how a team can fight for victory and glory,
we'll make our joy supreme,
the pride of Arizona,
the Arizona Cardinals team!"

Great example, TP. The culture in the NFL is simply different, so there will never be many chants and songs among fans, like there is with football (soccer). However, one or two short and easy chants or "acts" are certainly possible, and I just think it unify the stadium more. At least that is the feeling I get here at my team's stadium.

Like the college-examples people have pointed to in this thread, including that it doesn't need to be a chant like Penn State's or Ohio State's but could also be a collective choreography like South Carolina's or Florida State's. It could be done.

Great recap my man.
Anyone downplaying the win using the Rams being beatup is laughable. Welcome to the NFL.
