In recent comments, Tom Brady voiced his displeasure for Patriots fans who left early when the Pats were up 21 points early in the 4th quarter. I completely agree!
The Patriots' home crowd is the WORST in the NFL. There is no such thing as home field advantage here. The fans are all backwards. They cheer when the offense is on the field and are silent on defense. They are supposed to make so much noise that the other team has difficulty calling plays which may lead to more penalties. At away games, the other team's home crowd always goes nuts. But at Gillette Stadium, crickets.
I don't know why this is. Maybe the Patriots' fans are spoiled by the prolonged success and take winning for granted. They just wait for something good to happen before they start cheering. Maybe the ticket prices are so high that only rich, snooty people can afford to attend these home games instead of die-hard football fans. They'd rather sit quietly than to stand up, make noise, and get caught up in the atmosphere.
On a general note, it doesn't matter how many points your team is up by. It does not matter how much traffic will stink after the game. You do NOT leave a home game early! When your team is up big, it is your duty to give grief to any opposing team's fans within earshot. If your team is down, then you need to cheer and will your team back to victory.
So to all of those people at Gillette Stadium that just sit quietly on their hands, get off your high-horse you pansy pink-hats and make some noise!
