The players were playing with engery and they were contantly trying to get the fans energized between plays. After a while they were all Energizer Bunnies.

That is how I saw it. At home, my energy level fell to my ankles when Rodney got taken off on the cart.

Thanks for the feedback, all. Sounds pretty good in general.

If only my dad the viking wasn't so embarassing.

Yeah, we're the dumb fans. How about 3/4 of Gillette missing by the start of the 4th quarter? That's what we call a Boston Fire Drill. You guys complain about SD not selling out games? Well, at least we stay to watch our team til the end. And you were winning big time...I don't get it. Oh, it's cold and late, guess we can go home now. Were they all out of lattes at the concesion stands?

East Coast MNF games end around midnight, whereas West Coast night games end around 9:00. Also, in Foxboro it takes forever to get out of traffic.

MiChargers

Yeah, I get the time difference and I always thought it must suck to be sports fan on the east coast. But cmon...Monday night game, nationally televised, your whooping a conference opponent, and you leave because of traffic??? That's beyond weak. How much do tickets cost? I'd be soaking up every minute of that win and watching my team play well. I can see fans pouring out if your getting beat, but why would you leave when you're winning?? If you dont plan to stay the whole game, why even go? To be honest, it made your fan base look very bad IMO.

Actually I was at the Chargers game last week and there were tons of Charger fans leaving early as well. People have things to do and not everyone is going to stick around when a game has already been decided. as another poster pointed out our games end 3 hours after yours so our fans were leaving around midnight yours were leaving around 9 hmmmm.

Although I don't leave early, give the working class fans a break. It takes around 90 minutes to get outa the lots and route 1. Then maybe an hour's drive home. People here have jobs. Going to bed around 2:30 AM is not conducive to good job performance the next day.

MiChargers

That's simply not true and you know it. I was at the game as well. Sure, a few fans left (mostly NE fans from where I was sitting), but there definitely was not an exodus of fans where you could see large sections of vacant seats. What do you have to do, other than go home and go to bed? Again, you know the game is scheduled to run to midnight, so if that's past your bedtime, why bother? The time difference is a cop out. You're used to games ending late over there. That's part of life, is it not?

signbabybrady

Oh no, it is true. Maybe the numbers were not equal (but the 3 hour difference explains that and maybe the numbers of fans leaving your game were more pats but all that really means is that we had more Pats fans at your stadium not exactly a good sign of your oh so great fan base.

The truth is that after Belichick decided not to go for the onside kick about a 1/4 of the stadium got up and headed for the exits. if you tivo the games I am sure it would show up on TV just the same as ours did. Now I guess this still wasnt as early as the start of the 4th quater but still as I said in a earlier post not everyone is going to stick around once the game has been decided, I don't think this has anything to do with how good a fan you are its just prefrence, you can gloat over your win anywhere in your seats watchinf meaningless football, on the way back to the car, sitting by the car drinking a few more, or you can get home quick to try and read about the win and watch the presser's, or you can just go to bed at an almost normal time and actually be able to discuss it at work the next day instead of being comotose.
