THE MAJORITY OF THE FANS THAT WERE BOOING WERE BOOING THE FACT THAT THE PATS TOOK KNEES IN THE FINAL SECONDS OF THE FIRST HALF. THE BOOING BEGAN AS THE PLAYS WERE BEING RUN, NOT AS THE TEAM WAS LEAVING THE FIELD. THEY WERE BOOING THE DECISION NOT TO TAKE A CRACK AT MOVING THE BALL....BOOONG THE COACHES DECISIONS, NOT THE PLAYERS THEMSELVES.... AND, IMO, FULLY JUSTIFIED BOOING....
THOSE THAT THINK THE MAJORITY WERE BOOING THE PLAYERS ARE WROng. The booing was initiated because of the fact that the coaches quit, inthe final seconds.
Whether the decision was right, or wrong, that is what irked the majority of the fans and led to the booing, no somuch the way the players played.
The entire first half was a Patriot's coaching fiasco which led to the poor performance.
Ah yes, it was a bunch of NEMs in the stands doing the booing. They presume to know more than BB and his staff what to do at the end of the half. I'm sure the halftime discussion went like this:
BB: "Josh, I guess I made a mistake at the end of the half by having you run out the clock. Did you hear those NEMs out there booing us?"
McDaniel: "Yeah. I guess we did the wrong thing, didn't we. Now that the NEMs are mad at us because the Bills played so well, we better change our offensive philosophy in the second half."
BB: "Right. I never realized our fans cared so much. Now, I'm motivated to go out and call a better game. Let's get the captains into my office."
BB (to team captains): "OK fellas, did you hear the NEMs booing? I hope you stop being lazy out there and put out a better effort. They're right and we are wrong for letting Buffalo play so well."
Troy Brown: "Coach, we apologize for the fact that Buffalo played well in the first half. Of course, it's our fault as we have complete control over how well our opponent plays us. We didn't care enough in the first half, but now that the NEMs are angry, we need to perform better so they feel OK about us."
Meanwhile, in the other lockerroom:
**** Jauron (to his staff and players): "Guys, something is wrong here. We are not playing down to our capabilities and are embarrassing our hosts. The NEMs are booing because they know we're not as good as we played in the first half. I want you all to come back down to earth in the second half so the NEMs' view of reality is not altered. So let's put a halt to all that booing and lose one for Marv!"
