Every game I have been to over the past couple of years has had large numbers of supposed Saints fans that refused to make any noise while the educated fans are doing their best to help out the team.

Yes, you can sit on your ass or stand placidly while the opponent's offense is on the field, but in doing so you, in my personal opinion, surrender all rights to criticize the efforts of the defense.

Watch the Seahawks fans the next game. You will not see a single person not raising all grades of hell when their defense is on the field. Then watch the Saints crowd and you'll see one in every two simply taking up space being useless.
This is 100% on the money.

The last I checked, the Seahawks have THE MOST pre-snap penalties for opposing teams.

Why?

Crowd noise.

Their fans KNOW they can change the game.

I think some season ticket holders are turning into the wine & cheese crowd like the Carolina fans.

That's still better than the moonshine and possum crowd in Atlanta.

Absolutely they do.

Some times they have over a hundred fans show up for a home game.

Perhaps the most endearing and entertaining quality of Black & Gold is the ability to take any thread, regardless of topic or direction, and somehow turn it into a "Falcons Suck" theme, .
