Obviously, we scored 41 points without Branch, but that's not what I'm referring to. The fact is, the offense scored 41 points despite NO turnovers deep inside Washington territory, no cheap points on a crucial mistake, no defensive scores to inflate the 41 points, no one huge play that led to a TD.

All 41 points came on long-ish, sustained drives. An even better sign than the scoreboard showed, imo.

The offense was spectacular but one of the drives was 4 plays and 80 yards so I guess that one wasnt very long.

Couldn't agree more. Nice sustained drives, keeping their defense on the field wearing them down.

With the added bonus of being a preseason game, the offense can practice a lot of plays.

not to take anything away from a great performance, but BB's strategy all game was to work the passing game. In the regular season, he would have worked the clock and protected the ball...equivalent regular season score: 27-7.

That's fine. It would have been just as impressive....although I don't know why you give the Skins a touchdown.

The 'Skins message board was all nodding sagely about Gibbs post-game effort to whistle in the dark about getting blown out in the pre-season. He can't have been happy about what he'd just witnessed. If Portis isn't the incarnation of Superman, he'd better have one h*** of a lot of trick plays. Even then, when is he going to get around to practicing them against decent competition?

I appreciate the fact that you liked my point about the offense I made this afternoon under the "cut caldwell" post well enough to steal it and pass it off as your own idea. Classy, really classy.

See page #7 of the replies to the "cut caldwell" thread for anyone who would like to read the original point about the offensive performance I posted in a reply to Patsox23 who has recycled it as his own original thought.

Because they would have been in the prevent D to eat up time. Give them short stuff over the middle etc..

It could of even turned into a 24 - 10 game. But a dominant 24 - 10 game.

You know what, old? I have literally NO IDEA what you're talking about and I am beyond offended by this post. You can get as uppity as you want about my thinking your idea that the Pats will cut Caldwell is a non-starter brain-dead idiotic one, but don't ever accuse me of anything like this again. That's below the belt and an apology is due.

I posted a reply to you on page 7 of the "Cut Caldwell" thread - #69 -this afternoon.

I find it hard to believe that you never read it since you suddenly post a few hours later - this thread - talking about the exact same thing I mentioned in my reply to you this afternoon.

For you to deny and act offended as if you hadn't actually read my reply is crap. You would have gone directly to the page and reply referenced to find out what this was about if you really didn't know what I was talking about and defended yourself by saying you hadn't seen it before you posted.

What's below the belt is passing off someone elses points as your own and then lying about it. The only apology that needs to be made is by you.

Here's my post from this afternoon - I'll let the other readers see and judge for themselves:

Patsox23,
I think we can probably agree that Rich will have to buy his own ticket for any Hawaii trips he ever takes. LOL

........

Lost in this whole thread is the fact that the Pats were amazing on Saturday. Most scores of 41 usually include a D type TD in the mix. This was 41 from scrimmage with no ST or D TDs included - without our two best WRs or even Dillon or Maroney running wild.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for no injuries that side tracked the season like last year.

Go Pats!!

I THINK THIS POST PROVES THAT YOU LIFTED MY POST AND STARTED A THREAD THAT REWORDED WHAT I SAID TO YOU HOURS EARLIER.
