Look like pro bowlers against us,and before you all jump on me and say it's only pre season,it hapened a few times last year as well..

More important, which backup QB will we keep?

If I had to put $ on it, I would put it on O.Connell.

BB's normal defensive philosophy is to take away the thing you do best. Against the also-ran QBs that do so surprisingly well against us, that's usually the running game.

The preseason philosophy, meanwhile, is to take nothing away and see what floats and what sinks.

Most of the draft picks are floating

You can't hosestly believe BB would have a rookie backup, could you?

I dunno.

I have watched every second of all 4 preseason games and O'Connell is my pick

Trying not to get to excited about the kid because he will never get the chance to play, but I like him.

I think what you are trying to say is why all these veteran QB's have done well against our vanilla D this preseason. I think Griese said it best when interviewed during the game we played @ Tampa. More than most teams the Pats are extremely basic in the preseason, as he said "yeah, those guys save the good stuff for the season."
