I'm just curious, I'm not trying to insinuate or instigate anything.

Best moment was when the entire defense starting dancing during a time out with music blaring (3rd quarter I think)
I felt it was about the same....maybe a little louder as the rout went on.
Best moment was when the entire defense starting dancing during a time out with music blaring (3rd quarter I think) which got the crowd up and into it and loud - this will be featured on Patriots All Access this weekend - DON'T MISS IT!!
I was there. And at one point my Father turned me and said you know what maybe this crowd is lame as he thought it was quite. I said this is about what it always is. As fans we are very spoiled and thus we don't cheer non-stop regardless of the outcome like real hungry fans may but we cheer when a cheer is called for (after big plays, key defensive moments, and when things are going really well like vs Denver). The crowd was no better or worse monday there was just more to cheer.
In our crowds defense we are not as dumb as other crowds. Very rarely do we cheer our offense, we let them work (only exception being the First Down call from the announcer). Last week in San Diego they were consistantly cheering their offense, and not just after big plays, at the start of drives and on key 3rd down moments, it was pretty dumb of their fans.

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.

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.
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?
