During his session with the media a short time ago, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ripped into Patriot fans for leaving Gillette Stadium early Sunday when the Patriots jumped out to a 38-17 lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 38-24 win over the Bengals.Brady got into it when discussing how the team was going to have to deal with the hostile Meadowlands environment for Sunday’s road opener against the Jets at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
“The road environment is very different than our friendly home crowd, who when I looked up, half the stadium was gone when we were up 21 points early fourth quarter, which I wasn’t so happy about,” Brady said. “I don’t think the Jets fans leave early. They’re going to be loud the whole game. Communication is always an issue.
“We work on it a lot in practice, I think we worked on it in training camp quite a bit. Last year we didn’t do a very good job of it and that was painfully obvious to all of us. We have to do a better job of it this year.”
The Patriots lost 16-9 last year at the Meadowlands in the second game of the season.
