Can fans make a difference--I don't know--but curious thought.

And you’re right – this is such a rare experience in any form of blog, sports of otherwise, that it’s well worth noticing. Good for you to thank so many people – I think we all agree that youpre one of the good guys. (I like the Tiki idea :-) )

Thanks Bear! I just wanted to say thanks somehow to everyone.

There is a reason that we’re called the 12th man…and it’s not just making noise on gameday. Fans create an energy. It’s a give and take between teams and their fans but if they hit the correct synergy then something special can happen. I believe attitude is important in this. I think if a team has an overwhelmingly negative fan base (Philadelphia) then even a great team can struggle against the negative energy that is created. However, an overwhelmingly positive energy can take an okay team and make them a champion.

Of course to a point. There are reason (IMO) why Denver has had such a great Homefield advantage over the decades. For one the place is always SOLD OUT! PLus it gets loud for the opposing team and fires up the Broncos. What I have noticed that MHR always gets great responses and intelligent banter going back and forth. Plus we all have a love for all things Blue and Orange! We all feel they are good and always wants whats best for them. Plus for me it helps to know I have friends in LA-LA Land

…the Broncos organization reads our site, for real. I think a bunch of the players do for sure…maybe even some of the coaches??

And you are absolutely right. I’ve been a part of many blogs and/or forums, and this one is by far the best. Not only do we stand out in sheer numbers, but everyone I’ve read here is respectful, intelligent, and understanding. I haven’t seen any of us go out to poop on anyone else’s site, as I’ve seen Raiders, Colts, and Chiefs fans do here. We should all be proud to be a part of this magnificent site.

While thanking my lucky stars and knocking on wood, I would also like to point out the lack of 12-year-old d-bags with superiority complexes. On every other blog known to man, there are always those guys that will quickly point out any grammatical flaw, any perceived lack of understanding, or any other such failure. You know those guys on xbox live that win every Halo match with 23 headshots and the proclaim, "ZOMG! I ARE TEH PWNSTERZ!!!1

Holy crap, they only had 16 posts on their open thread for their last game! Didn’t we have 900-something over two separate threads? I know I had 140, so that means I had……(does quick mental math)……8……and……3/4 times as many as their entire site! I didn’t know Green Bay was that small of a market.

eeeeeeeeee I nowy am i ..

of the roughly 60,000 attendees at the Dallas game at least 25,000 were in Dallas jerseys and coats. It may have been half. At some points in the game the Dallas fans were nearly as loud as the Denver fans.

Not even a full on fan but this site by far exceeds any other blog-type site in terms of fan interaction and it enhances the experience for sure…I have been on some message boards that are equal in participation but the format of SB Nation is unique and MHR has to have one of the highest levels of involvement at this point on SB nation.
