So how'd we do on the noise level today? Sounded pretty loud on tv but I think fox mixes in a lot of crowd noise.

I was at a bar down in Texas today, I always carry a pats jersey in my bag should I be stuck somewhere on a Sunday... Man was it sweet watching those obnoxious cowpie fans file out.. Thanks Tom, I don't think I could've handled them had they won.

I think we helped with a couple Cowboy false starts today. Way too many Cowboys fans at the stadium, though -- more than I've seen in visitors' jerseys in recent memory.

Crowd noise at Gillette has been dissipating noticeably since 2003, imo.

Wine and cheese blah blah
Stadium construction blah blah
Spoiled fans blah blah
Sullivan Stadium was better blah blah

Every week, just post the above.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

It would be funny if these weren't legitimate complaints. As a resident of Philly and lifelong Pats fan, I've been to many games at Veterans Stadium, The Linc, Foxboro and Gillette. The Linc holds about 10,000 less than Gillette, IIRC, and I've never seen a game at Gillette that comes close to matching the noise level.

Sox have some of the best crowds in baseball.
Both Celts and Bruins fans take the roof off the garden.

With the Pats I think the issues are many.

First....in making the stadium family friendly, they've essentially neutered the passion of many.

For years after the construction of Gillette, they prevented people from standing and cheering to long...

The last couple of years they've tried to bring the noise back and encouraged it. But if you spend years telling people they have to act of certain way...you have to expect hesitation due to heavy handedness.

The wine and cheese/pink hat crowd aren't as numerous as one would think.

Lastly, the truth is in pursuit of space and comfort, the stadium is not conducive to trapping and directing noise.

It's a perfect storm of noiselessness.

The fannies are in the seats....they need to get up!

And replace the clapping with yelling for God's sakes.

TOM BRADY.....2011 PATRIOTS DPOY!!!

What annoys me about these people who sit and stay quiet for most of the game is that its like they don't realize how special the team has become. These people need to be cheering and being loud like no tomorrow. No excuses for not being loud.

I of course agree generally, but from watching today, it seemed like the crowd was among the best I've "seen"/"heard" in Gillette over the years. Sounded like they were into it and really helping the team with crowd noise and support, more than usual today. No?

We should start pumping in crowd noise...

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."
