First, the rules :
The Seattle Times: Seahawks: NFL rules on crowd noise
What I'm referring to in the rules :
Then why on TWO occasions tonight (and that's only because that's all I've seen on TV with the camera angles and such), at least once on 3RD DOWN have I seen the following on the Jets scoreboard/ring crawl...
GET LOUD !
Can someone answer that for me? Or better yet, can someone please find it (first quarter there are TWO instances) on their DVR and get us a screen capture image of it?
I want us ALL to start complaining about this to the league offices via email and phone calls first thing business hours tomorrow. We must put a stop to it before Sunday.
The Jets shouldn't be allowed to break the rules just because their drunken fans don't know the proper time to get loud for their team.
The Seattle Times: Seahawks: NFL rules on crowd noise
What I'm referring to in the rules :
(1) Club-Controlled Sound: The home club does not have the prerogative to decide if such sound hampers signal calling. While spontaneous crowd noises may be beyond immediate control, noise of any kind (music, horns, gongs, drums, etc.) that is under club control must cease when the play clock (40 or 25 second) is running and the visiting team is in possession of the ball. Flagrant attempts by cheerleaders, mascots or the public-address system to encourage crowd noise for the purpose of disrupting the visiting team's offense while the play clock is running is prohibited. The use of noise meters or such messages as "Noise!," "Let's hear it!," "Raise the Roof," "Let's go Crazy," "Pump it up," "12th Man" are prohibited at any time during the game. These examples are not limited to the foregoing, but also would include similar messages that encourage crowds to make random noise in order to disrupt the opposition. The prohibitions specified in this section also apply during kicking plays.
