Thank you. These are the same people who, a few years ago, were saying that anyone who wanted the troops to come home was "unamerican", and "against the country". Some people only want to allow bubblegum, "we love everything about the team" comments.

I love Asante. But more than that, I love the Patriots. Asante should have been in camp. By not doing so, he hurt both the team and himself - his options for next year are less marketable if he doesn't have a gang buster year.

Hobbs is still our best CB
It was perfectly thrown and a nice catch. His hand was still an inch from the ball. How would the arm chair experts have played it?

Tighter coverage at the start...he had poor position, and was lucky to be that close when the ball wa thrown.

Well maybe we'll put you on Coles next time.

Looked to me like optimal coverage and a ball thrown where only the receiver could get it.

I'm not sure they recommend totally tight coverage at the line, because of that touchdown thing.

Maybe Ken or someone can comment on that.

Asante had a mediocre game. That's fine. Everyone can't be great all of the time. We paid a tremendous cap proce because team wanted to franchise him. I expect him to have games and bad games. Personally, I just want him to be one of our top three corners, and to stay healthy all year.

it might of been me, but asante looked out of shape and not nearly as big last year. but we must all keep in mind he did miss all of training camp, so with that in consideration he wasnt that bad today

Samuel did not have a good day and will hopefully catch up quickly...I wish he had judged it important to be in camp sooner, but he didn't and that is that. It's his season to either have a great one as he did later last year or more just OK like he's been in years past.
I do hope the curve to his readiness is ramped up, for the team's sake and his...But I find it interesting how many thought he would be ready for this game and really negated, almost totally his need to be in camp at all. A week or so was ALL that was needed Or so many have said. And then there were all the reports about him being in great shape. Maybe..but not at all like he should be.
I hope that many have reassessed there view of camp and the need for players to be there. It's not like a player can miss most and be the same player that he would have been if he was there for the duration.
There are exceptions to that, but they are far fewer than many wish to believe.
I am glad he is with the team and I hope he will be all ready and improved so that the Pats can take teh Chargers next Sunday night.

the Patriots had a defensive unit today?

The offensive fireworks completed made most people forget about the good job the defense did today.
