Message: [QUOTE="J187Money, post: 2562625, member: 718"] To say that the Patriots fans "knew" it wasn't their year is preposterous. Everyone I saw in Minneapolis was convinced it would take an act of god for the Pats to lose. And half of them were crying during/after the game that the refs handed the game to Philly. Everyone was convinced that the early season defensive issues were solved. The crowd was decidedly Philly - and Philly pushed it for 60 minutes, not 58. Stadium was fantastic - except for egress. They didn't have all of the entrances open - it took nearly an hour to get outside. Had there been an issue - it would have been a stampede and people would have died. It was like Times Square on NYE - and that was with all of the Philly fans sitting in their seats to watch the trophy presentation. Oddly - I was pretty happy for the Eagles fans. Doesn't mean I will ever attend a game in Philly in opposing colors, but for the most part they were respectful and truly happy. I was pretty much surrounded by them and the most obnoxious people were the two Pats fans behind me. [/QUOTE]
