For the most part in both NY and Boston, the fans respect the rivalry and go about it in a reasonable way. It also helps that Kraft has a zero tolerance policy towards dickheadedness. Give your seats to a friend who brings a friend who does something out of line and you lose your seats, your money, they re-sell them, and you and the perpetrators and all your families are banned for like 15 generations
The one thing you may have missed not watching on TV was that Ryan lived up to his rep for sucking at challenges.
Why challenge the spot in the 1st quarter when you're going for it on 4th down anyway? And then he doesn't challenge a TD that had some non-zero chance of being overturned.
OTOH, your guys aren't out of it by a long shot, IF they can turn a negative into a positive. Now its time for Rex to earn his pay.
I was almost more happy to see that overrated nimrod Favre get booted out the record book.
