Default Ashamed of all the fans who left...EDIT: Didn't happen!!

What's up with the embarrassing exodus of fans who left the stadium so early? Good job confirming exactly what the haters say about us being such front runners. I was so mad I could've tossed a brick through the TV! Ugh!

Maybe this was just me, but I didn't notice this at the Stadium. I thought the mass exodus after the final field goal was a little ridiculous though.

That was a "joke" by the TV producers. All the people leaving were at the end of the game.

I was pretty amazed by all the fans who left with 4 or so minutes to go and the game not locked away.

Then I saw the stadium traffic.

No, seriously, I don't get why you go to a game to leave before the outcome is really decided. I saw a ton of people just hanging out eating or playing ball while they waited for traffic to die down and that seems to me like the best way to handle things. Make a day of it.

That said, it was my first trip to the stadium. I sure wish it hadn't been this particular game.

And I also wish I had brought sunblock, but that's neither here nor there.

Yeah, "jokes" like that will keep me away not only from sports media but ALL media in the coming months.

That’s the best approach tailgate before and after the game

Those were your so called bandwagoners, and it's just as well because they probably take up seats that might otherwise be used by real fans. I say good riddence to them.

Nobody left then. It just got really quiet (as you can imagine) until Cassel & Moss hooked up. A lot of people left when the Pats went ahead by 7, though, and missed the heart-attack almost come-back of KC. Most leave (and left yesterday) when they think the game is in the bag to fight the horrible traffic out of Gillette. Since the Pats D had played pretty well all game and hadn't given up any big plays, most people weren't expecting the game to go down to the wire. You can't think that way in the NFL, though (obviously).
