I bought my tickets online the day they went on sale. Ended up with Section 414. Upper deck, third to last row, 50 yard line. Great seats, but the last five rows were 80% Pats fans. They were EVERYWHERE. Here are some highlights:
-They were talking much smack after 14-0. Laughing it up. Hahahaha...for now.
-They STFU for pretty much the rest of the game after Bellichek went for it on 4th instead of the FG.
- In the 3rd qtr (I think) they had a big 3rd down conversion negated by offensive pass interference. I yelled, "cheaters!" a thousand times and none of them said anything to me, but I could tell it pissed them off.
-Right before the Vontae INT, a few Pats fans behind me were yelling, "lets cover the spread!!" Arrogant bastards.
-At the beginning of the game-winning drive the guy sitting next to me tried to start some smack talking. He said, "Is this game blacked-out?! Is this a sell-out? I see a lot of orange seats." I loved that all he could do is play that tired old card. I cooly responded, "I guess when you win some Super Bowls 10 years ago, you collect a lot of fair-weather fans to fill your stadium. Congrats on that. I'm here to watch my team win.
-After Henne whiffed on Lou Polite on 3rd and 6, the guy next to me yelled, "He sucks! Your QB sucks!!!"
-After Henne hit Camarillo on 4th and 6, I just turned to the guy and looked at him and said nothing cause nothing needed to be said.
-After the Crowder INT, they were all stunned. They were in disbelief.
I will give them credit in that they were much more classy than the Bills fans I encountered at Landshark earlier this year. On the long walk to the car after the game, they just had their heads down and took the loss well.
GO DOLPHIINS!!!

Patriot fans are the worst. Bills fans and Jets fans are more obnoxious, but they at least have some idea what they are talking about.
Honestly, there were more Red Sox fans there than Patriot fans. You'd think #58 Papelbon was a rookie linebacker or something.
I also caught multiple John Lynch Patriot jerseys, and more than one "Patriots Perfect Season" jersey.
Those people are amazing.muscle979, Cynthia15, Dolphins1Beatles and 7 others like this. -

Most Patriots fans can't tell you who Steve Grogan is if you ask them. They talk a lot of **** when their team is winning, but couldn't care less when they lose. That's just the way Johnny come lately fans are.

All fanbases have their share of idiots.
All fanbases can degrade into some trash talking when things get heated.
There are a few though that make a profession out of being loud mouthed, arrogant and ignorant in much higher %'S and at a 24/7 pace.
Jets fans are one of those.
Only worse fans I've encountered are Eagles fans.
That being said, it warms the cockles of my heart to know Pats fans not only got to see such a fine game down in S. FL. but that they were able to get so comfortable in thinking they'd win that they talked a bunch of crap before they had to Shut the hell up and do the walk of shame all the way home. -

As an Upstate NY resident, who has been to Dolphins games in Foxboro (pre-Brady), the Meadowlands and Buffalo, I'd rate the home Jet fans as the worst, most idiotic, drunken fools. By a large margin!! They know the game and are passionate, I'll give them that, but they are beligerant when it comes to their actions.
Then, after that, I'd say the Patriot fans are second worst, as they - at the time - were just football idiots, and act like they know stuff. Haven't been there since Brady, though, but I'm guessing now they are still football idiots, but have become accustomed to winning, so their idiotdom is just off the charts now.
Bills fans, I've never really been bothered by, and I used to go there during their Superbowl years. While I always got ribbed, it was usually good-natured, and you can tell their fans are true blue supporters, thick and thin. I went to college in WNY too, so I was surrounded by these people. Good people overall. They'll yell at you, but they won't throw a beer down your shirt or anything like that. Even last weekend was fun out there. You have to give them credit, they love their team, and they are so passionate about it, win or lose.
I do hate when I see some orange seats down in Miami, though, for two reasons. One, they are paid for ..... so why aren't you at the game????? :no::no:
Secondly, the Dolphins have such a huge national following, almost up their w/ the Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders, etc. (notice, all good teams from the '70s). Everywhere you go, there are a good amount of fans. It's like, we really do have passionate fans, it's just that we don't all live in SoFla.gafinfan, dolfan7171 and Idahophin like this. -
I went to a Jaguars-Fins game about 3 years ago---the game where MJD broke all 11 tackles and got to the endzone.
Worst moment ever for me, was screaming Yeah, Yeah Get him---and then screaming at the top of my lungs WTF.
I was the only dolphin fan in the entire 4 sections of seats in the upperdeck. All 4 sections was Jaguar Fans, who came down in Busses for the game. The friend I went with humored me with by wearing a dolphins shirt since I gave him the ticket. My friend is a diehard jets fan, lol. He started cheering with the Jags fans. -
A sly smile and a few well-timed moments of eye-contact can be much more effective than yelling like crazy...plus I was surrounded by them and if punches were thrown, I didn't want my 67 year old father involved.felly smarts, Frumundah Finnatic, Section126 and 4 others like this. -
I honestly think it's this way with any fans within division, but there are some fans that take it to the extreme.
The problem is you really only see the a-hole fans from a fan base, because they're the ones that stand out.
Unfortunately we've got them in our camp as well. I have to admit when we won the division last year, I was at the Alehouse here in Orlando, and I was probably one of the most belligerent jerks in the world. Now mind you I was also completely blitzed, but you get the idea :)Delfin Alejandro likes this. -

in 07, when the Pats stomped us 49-28 at home, there were tons of pats fans there. they were offering to buy dolphins season tickets to save us from the embarrassment. i hate them. they were cheering "go redsox" during the whole game, and after.

I particularly enjoyed the folks in charge of stadium operations in Miami playing "Shipping up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphy's as both teams met at midfield post-game.
That was a nice touch. :lol:fins1 and Frumundah Finnatic like this. -
I would have loved to see their faces on the Vontae pick, they probably thought that a BRady to moss endzone fade to ice a game was a certainty.
And I also love the Patriots 18-1 Season is the Dolphins second perfect season. Great way to look at it Zeke. -
I had a few Pats fans behind me that kept getting mad when i was calling Welker names. They were like, Welka is wicked awesome! And i said, hes our Johnny Damon. They got really quiet.

I remember loving Welker as a Dolphin. I lost some respect for him when he got caught on tape yelling to defenders, "You f-ing suck!" after a reception. Made me wonder whether he was that way all along.
Edit: found a link (bad language, kiddies):

I could say the same exact thing about the bills fans. Being at the game last week, this was all i saw.dolfan7171 likes this. -
Tom Brady has never won in Miami in December. Just tell them that next season when we meet again. [Actually theres a chance both can meet again in the Playoffs, odds are against it though]
Pats fans are "Red Sawx" fans who were so pissed about constantly losing to the Yankees and pretty much every other team before 2004 they hopped on the Pats bandwagon during the Super Bowls, but are slowly fading back again now that the Pats haven't (ironically) won the Super Bowl since 2004.dolfan7171 and azfinfanmang like this. -

You know guys, and please forgive me for saying this, but can someone explain why Belichick didn't kick the field goal, right before the half...?
If you stop and think about it, they would have been up by 10, yes they could have kicked it off, and we still could have gotten 3 point or perhaps scored, but I can only guess that Bill is still regretting going for the 1st down against the Colts, a game they would have probably won, had they punted the ball.

Well you play the odds, I assume Belichick felt he could have gotten the first down and he was trying to ice the game then and there. Had the Patriots ultimately scored a TD on that drive, they would have been up by 14 at the half, running off much of the clock on a possible potential kickoff, had there been much time left on the clock, and Belichick knew we were getting the kickoff at the start of the 2nd half, so seeing it this way, I understand now why Belichick may have went for it.

Nice scoop GARDENHEAD.
Out here the most obnoxious fans are Raider fans bar none. But the band wagon jumpers are pretty damn hilarious they never no a thing about their team. Seems as though the steeler fans are not as abundant at the moment, thinking all the Saint wagons are on the way lol.
A co worker bragged about how many years hes been a steeler fan. Funny look when i asked why the steelers are the only NFL team without cheerleaders. He swore they had em because he always watches them. ROFLdolfan7171 and felly smarts like this. -

What makes this win so sweet is there's no room for excuses, either.
There's no "Brady wasn't playing"; or "it was a fluke because of that WC".
We lined up and beat their butts straight up. We had a better passing game and a better running game.
