Went down to Gillette Stadium with Heather, her sister Hillary & her sisters boyfriend Ben who got his tickets through work to watch was was supposed to be the Patriots crushing defeat of those @#$% Jets. I was all excited. Amazing seats, 3 rows up in the end zone opposite the giant light house thing. We started off by having a good meal in Patriots place where we all put a healthy buzz on for kickoff. The game didn't exactly turn out as it was suppose to & I think 90% of the Jet's fans were sitting right behind us. The guy directly behind me was especially annoying as his 80 IQ points were hampered by the cold and not exactly up to peak performance. Didn't stop the little bastard from a non stop commentary that wasn't even 10% right. Heather got into him pretty good a few times which momentarily shut him up and made me laugh.
The game started off pretty well, the Jet's got the ball but were stopped in the red zone and missed the field goal. When they missed the place absolutely erupted into wild celebration. The feeling of being among all that celebration was electric. The Pats got the ball and drove down field settling for a field goal. From there it went down hill a bit as that was our first and only lead. Sanchez had a pretty good game, Braylon Edwards was a beast with a nasty toss and catch late in the game to essentially win it. That being said the Pats really looked bad, poor clock management, a sluggish offense and a defense that bent a little too far despite not breaking. At one point in the 4th we got it within 3 points but the Jets came back to go up by 10 and essentially the game was lost right then.
As I said, not the best outcome but it was still an amazing experience and can't wait to go to another game. Too bad it will have to wait till next year but in the meantime, GO BRUINS!!!!
