Did anyone else notice it?
Almost every single time Miami came out on offense the train whistle would blow. I never heard it a single time when Buffalo had the ball.
Is this part of the stadium or something?

Definitely on purpose. Normally it's only played on third or fourth downs to pump up the crowd, but that last game they seemed to abuse the noise pumping.

The Pats do it too. Seems to blare whenever the opposing team's offense is trying to relay the next play to the QB.

I noticed this as well and it seemed like it was done intentionally to interfere with relaying in the play. I would think if Atlanta can get penalized for pumping in noise then blowing the horn repeatedly like this would also be against the rules.
Conversely Gase said in his last presser that the crowd noise at Hard Rock has been excellent with the new roof.dolphin25 likes this. -

Well, the Dolphins are sea creatures. So, if Buffalo wishes to bring in train whistles.. Let's find a Ships Horn somewhere, get a portable steam generator, and let'er rip!

Go back and watch the Pats game it happened almost every time Miami's offense was trying to relay the play to the QB. Illegal or not it happened. It was very obvious what they were doing. -
The Pats play a loud boat horn on every 3rd down. Many teams do a similar thing on 3rd downs.

I still don't understand how it's allowed well into the play clock. That should be something you can only hear in the first couple seconds.
Having to watch MM8 keep running to the sidelines to get the plays was pissing me off.Surfs Up 99, keypusher and dolphin25 like this. -
I recall the announcers mentioning they thought MM was having trouble with his headset. Never considered it could be from stadium/crowd noise. I don't think enough people realize what a battle it was down there last week. I could tell it was getting tough as you could see the toll being taken on the linemen. I think the effort the team put forth and coming away with a win in that environment speaks volumes that just will never be heard. The Bills literally threw ALL they had at us, and we managed to kick them in the face in the end.
One other thing that struck me about the Bills game was how upset Gase appeared to be at the end after we came back and won. I'm curious about what that was all about. Did MM take over some plays he wasn't supposed to? I recall seeing Gase and Moore having a heart to heart on the bench after MM had a badly overthrown ball on a critical 3rd down. Or was it just the environment that had him pissed off? -
I mean it couldn't possibly be that terrible situational management by Damien Williams not getting out of bounds.Last edited: Dec 29, 2016 -

"I don't know if you could hear it on TV, but the Patriots have a cool new feature at Gillette that was unveiled Sunday: the fog horn. The lighthouse goes black except for a bright flashing strobe and a loud fog horn sounds over the P.A. They do it when the visiting team's offense is about to break the huddle. It really gets the crowd going. :rocker:"
