Why did the fans leave?

[=abrahamburger=]

I started tailgating at 1pm and I live 4 blocks from the dome. I left at around 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter. I'm not ashamed at all. I paid my money. I supported the team all year, just like every year. I paid for our tickets. I was disappointed.

And SeaMill is right, the Packers fans wanted them to pour it on. Visions of the Eagles/Vick game danced in my head.

I wasn't cheering. I wasn't having a good time. Why stay? I've stayed with the team my entire life and will be back next year.

If the Falcons wanted the fans to stay and cheer for them, they should have shown up for more than 16 minutes.
