Noise has a way of amplifying the imperfections and minimizes confidence. Advantage....home town noise = VICTORY

I am not sure the Domefield advantage is that great come playoffs. Most of our games are much closer than in the regular season.
....And take time to address the fans during his press conference to give instructions on when to yell.It can be the difference maker and has been in almost every win. Payton will be the first to tell you how important it is. There's a reason a coach that's busy coaching a team in a playoff game where he has 1000 things going on takes the time to wave his hands getting the crowd fired up. The dome truly is a 12th man on defense.
That being said would it kill someone to have us handily win one of these games and get up by 20 points early and stay there? I'm tired of these nail biters. Haha
Exactly....the importance of the crowd definitely isn't lost on coach. He regularly addresses it. I love the fact he said that in the press conference.....really gives a feeling of being on the team for the fans.....And take time to address the fans during his press conference to give instructions on when to yell.
Of all the serious and great answers, this is by far the best. I really enjoyed reading your points - which all makes sense. This was the kind of "comfort arguments" an anxious old-time Saints fan needed to read. Thanks pal.
That said, my screaming is as much about helping me cope as it is helping the team. I cant stand being at home. I need the outlet.
Not to mention the last 10 home teams in the championship game won.Payton and Brees are 6-0 at home in the playoffs. End thread
I don't want to be in public watching a game. It's barely safe for friends to come over. I hand out earplugs, beer & zanax to help THEM cope!Are you me?
Thanks!
Furthermore, if you notice the trend - the better a player is, the greater his mistakes. Farve, Warner, AP, Alshon Jefferies - we've created some great opportunities with crowd noise in the playoffs. It WILL happen again, we just have to get the good bounces and convert them into points. Fumble recovery and tipped pass drills all week!
