In our younger days of playing when you got on roll or on the flip side of being stuck in the mud and not being able to do anything right are all signs of momentum working either for or against you.As for not putting stock in the fans cheering I'll simply trust all the ex players that say up n down that yes it did energize them. Also for whoever said they don't completely buy how much the players can even hear the cheers all I can say is ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? WTH hasn't seen an offense not be able to get a play called or lineman not hearing the snap count due to noise. We see it EVERY FREAKING WEEK. It's not debatable. It can get LOUD on the field and crowd noise can and does affect games</blockquote>
