Some observations in the stadium
 

First, we had an A+++ tailgate. 8 guys, two of those tents put together, then wrapped on 3 sides with a tarp to keep the wind out and the heat in. a heater going inside, and a big tv on a tailgate to watch the SF game, while we ate too much including the deep fried chicken my buddy made. it took a while to walk Rt1 after all that....

the crowd was dressed for the frigid cold. thos you forget how much the body heat and wind block you get from the packed crowd in our section. we never really felt cold til the last 2 minutes after our entire section was gone except us.

speaking of which, the crowd really hung in there and did NOT leave early in what was a blow out game. it was only the last 5-6 minutes when ppl really started leaving. guess a saturday night out was due!

for some reason, our section kept doing that Tebow, Tebow chant. i didnt really like it, felt too high school. but it was funny.

there were plenty of people in Tebow jerseys and denver attire. they didnt seem to get too much ***** from the revelers.

our defense looked tough. and we did after all the debate come out in a 3-4, with anderson mayo, spikes, ninko as the backers. i guess anderson played pretty well setting the edge as best i could tell.

the gronk miracle catch happened right in front of us in the corner of the end zone. amazing play.

the deion bomb was a stunner. the whole stadium hesitated. did he really catch that? is he really streaking down the sideline withthe ball? funny play.

gronk looked open all night. it was fun to just watch him

the hernandez running plays were curious. usually he would motion out of the back field, but then he stayed there, and made one of his amazing cuts on a sweep, coming down into out corner.

i thought crowd was loud. i felt bad for the 300s, it looked windy up there.

GREAT EXPERIENCE> SEE YOU ALL NEXY WEEK TO DO IT AGAIN

Thanks for sharing, sounded like an awesome night.

What was the Tebow chant btw I couldn't really pick up what they were saying

Re: Some observations in the stadium
 

If I can believe my TV, it was a derisive "TEEEEEE-BOOOOOW! TEEEEEE-BOOOOOW!"

I didn't like it either. It seemed like extraneous piling on a guy who hadn't really done anything to deserve it. I wanted to give the dude a bro-hug in his post-game presser.

Re: Some observations in the stadium
 

Just an elongated "Teeeeeeeeeeeeebowwwwwwwwwwwwwww" in the fashion of how "Darryl" or "Roger" was chanted at Fenway.

I didn't participate, too much respect for TT.

Re: Some observations in the stadium
 

yeah, but 'MEEEEEEDIAAAAAA........... MEEEEEEEDIAAAAAA' doesn't have the same ring to it.

how was the crowd noise on 3rd down? I couldn't really tell on tv.

Re: Some observations in the stadium
 

When it mattered (really the first quarter) the noise was great in the stadium. After that, it fell off a cliff....understandably so, because of both the score and the fact that it was cold and windy.

Re: Some observations in the stadium
 

Denver players were dropping like flys the whole game. Was the crowd just getting annoyed at all the time stoppage or were they booing injuries?

Re: Some observations in the stadium
 

There was constant booing and heckling...particularly when one of the offensive linemen was crawling on the ground, and then 10 seconds later just fell down....and then got up a minute later and walked off without a limp.

Re: Some observations in the stadium
 

There seemed to be another epidemic of nohuddleitis. I was booing from my couch.

Re: Some observations in the stadium
 

It seemed they were suspicious that they were often happening during the Pat's no huddle.

But I wasn't there.
