Am I the only one who thinks the Pats looked terrible?
The fact that it's a preseason game makes winning/losing irrelevant but I thought the play of the Pats 1st team O/D was mediocre to terrible. The "backups" weren't any better. It reminded me of the Pats horrible play against average-good teams last year. The Dline got shoved around, the LBs as a group looked like crap and were always on the ground or behind the play and the best that can be said about the DBs is that they made the tackle...after the catch. The Oline still seems unable to pick up a blitz or keep Dlinemen from disrupting the play. Welker screwed up a blocking play causing the RB to get tackled early. Meriweather looks too small to be safety and whiffed badly on a tackle. The only bright spots I saw were Washington/Gaffney/Faulk. The rest of the team looked as slow and overmatched as they were last year against good teams. Please don't use the "it's only preseason" excuse because I've watched other preseason games and no team, not even those that lost, has looked as slow and overmatched as the Pats.

Re: Am I the only one who thinks the Pats looked terrible?
IMO,I don't think BB cared if he won or lost last night.I think he wanted to evaluate particular players.Plus TC is being run differently this year.From what ive read its not a hard hitting full contact type of camp this year,there are alot of walk threws,so Im not worried.

I agree 100%, especially about the DLine getting pushed around last year. Our defense was the worst in the league. What's with all the DBs making tackles after the catch, just like you said. What about defending against the pass? QBs don't complete passes against other teams' defenses.
And what's wrong with Brady. Obviously BB is disgusted and he was pulled pretty early.
I'd hoped for better, but this late in the season it is obvious we're doomed this year. At least we'll get a top 5 pick next year, maybe even #1 overall. This year is already a waste. May as well accept fact that the dynasty is over. Maybe with the No.1 overall we can draft a franchise QB.

Re: Am I the only one who thinks the Pats looked terrible?
Isn't it a little early to start complaining? The Pats played last night without Maroney, Moss, Stallworth, Watson, Kyle Brady, and Thomas on offense and without Seymour and except for a few plays Warren on defense.
It was the first exhibition game and hot as hell to boot.
If they play this way against Tennessee, I'll second your opinion.

I agree, it's all over fugetabout it. It's time to start looking at FA, and the draft. I don't know if they'll ever win again. The way they played we should start a (GET RIDD OF BB PETITION GOING.)

I got a good laugh from your post, although it wasn't very creative. What I find really weird about people like you is that rather than address (or ignore by not replying) my concerns, you reply with a strawman post. One would think that if the Pats really played well last night, (i.e. that my points were incorrect), that you would simply point that out. The fact that the best you can do is make outlandish statements and argue against fiction only serves to confirm the validity of my concerns. Which doesn't really make me happy as I was hoping to have them dispelled.
