By the 3rd QTR. I saw lots of empty seats....just wondering why they left so early? You guys liike to bash becuz of attendance (which I think is a joke), but whats the point of selling out and having all your fans show up when your team is the one not showing up?
BTW, I gotta give you guys props for keep the place pretty loud...I think it was the loudest Ive heard it this whole season so far.

it was a statement made by the fans.at least they got their monies worth tailgating.
1/4 of the crowd were Patriots fans.

I think you may have answered your own question there. I eventually stopped watching the game, it is not fun to watch yuor team get blown out. I do not by any means consider myself "fairweather", but there gets to a point when you know you have no chance of winning and you spare yourself the torture.
Im sure the people in the stands wanted to at least beat the traffic and get out and on the road. It was a pitiful game today, and especially painful because so much was riding on it, and I think a lot of us wanted a win for Drew.
I was proud of how loud the crowd was today though. Not since the early 90's during the Bills "glory years" have I heard the crowd that loud.

Sorry WCF....the fans really piled out in the 4th quarter not the third. I was there...and Typ0 I agree I say between 5 and 10 thousand Pats fans.

No more than 5,000 Pats fans
If you watched at the beginning of the 2nd half, many people were still getting food and making pit stops because of the Kelly ceremony at halftime

I don't know about that. There were still >25,000 fans in the stadium at the end and I'd bet 25% of them were pats fans.

Allot of the fights I saw were precipitated by highly intoxicated Pat's fans throwing and spilling $h!t on Bills fans starting at the end of the 3rd quarter, (they spilled and threw $h!t on one another too, but this didn't cause fights amongst them, I actually saw a row of Pats fans mashing popcorn into each others heads and then pouring beer on that. I guess that's their idea of group hygiene). Anyway, add some ill advised smack talk and fights are inevitable.

My tickets are $30 apiece but since my seatmate keeps blowing off the games lately, it's $60. I've stayed till after the team leaves the field every game for the past 7 years but this effort just made me sick. When there were about 5:00 left in the game, I went down to sit with my tailgating buddies... THURM had already left. The only thing appealing was seeing my buddy Julie and Trendichick. After they left the field, I went up to talk to one of my buddies on the security force for a few minutes and then left.
