Only one state outside of New England is rooting for the Patriots...

[Bradybranch]

Really, Vermont?

 

[sb1]

DC is pro Eagles?

That's hard to believe. That would be like southern Florida, Northern Jersey or western NY being pro Pats.

So I looked up the purveyor of this Poll..."Forum News Service" and this is what I found:

Vermont, you treasonist commie bastards!

Treasonist commie bastard is the VT state bird.

Vermont is officially banished from New England and has become New York Northeast.

 

[NYCPatsFan]

I find it odd that ND is leaning Pats when Wentz grew up and went to college there. Like others, I am also surprised VT is going for the Eagles.

Maybe they thought it was Boston College's Eagles?

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

damnit, why didn't he answer his phone...

 

[neuronet]

F Vermont if this poll was representative.

 

[pherein]

Why not Louisiana? (I thought Saints fans had our backs.) And why would New York/DC/Texas want the rival Eagles to win? WHY THE F*CK WOULD MINNESOTA WANT THE EAGLES TO WIN??? Screw them. SCREW THEM ALL!

Yeah,, not sure about the poll, Louisiana, New Orleans has almost always been a supporting state in NFL polls of the past for Pats, also large Republican base here.
Wonder if the poll is just inaccurate or they just polled couple thousand random people or fans. I mean in the past Lousiana has almost always been in the Pats column, especially after SP got here and mirrored the team after BB.
I know most of my friends and office workers are Pro Pats except a few.
ID actually be surprised if that was accurate.

I call BS. You want me to believe Minnesota, after seeing Eagle fans throw full cans of beer at kids in Vikings gear and stuff, suddenly have decided to support the Eagles? Who put this out, ESPN?

It wasn't a poll, but based on Twitter...so it's probably very very off.

Connecticut: Yep, lots of Giant fans, but they hate the Eagles.
Vermont: Mostly Pats fans
Minnesota: They hate Philly
Texas: Cowboys fans I know are 60/40 in favor of the Pats because they hate the Eagles; Texans fans are thankful we beat Jax
Louisiana: I know a handful of Saints fans here in the DC area and they are all pulling for Brady
DC/VA: Skins fans hate the Eagles...not buying that one either.

Anecdotal, but a northern New Jersey Giants fan here is pulling for the Pats.

"Geotagged Twitter data" = ********.

What? I'm a treasonous commie bastard and a Pats Fan!

Vermont really is a back asswards NH

 

[Brick27]

Vermont really is a back asswards NH

I don’t think NH does anything significantly better than VT, other than rest areas and liquor outlets.

 

[Jackson 2]

I really wish all 50 states were pulling for the Eagles. My catharsis would be complete.

Vermont really is a back asswards NH

Grafton County is no question.

If it's a twitter poll then it's going to get basically the college kids at UVM who are transplants anyway from out of state. VT is very pro Patriots and those that aren't, in my anecdotal experience, are Giants fans and would root for Pats over the Eagles anyway.

Yeah, growing up in Maine I knew some Giants fans too, all stemming back to before the Patriots were a thing and we used to get the Giants games.

It's an admittedly relatively small sample size, but every Giants fan I know, and I know lots of them, despise the Patriots more than any other team by far.
