1.) This is a kneejerk reaction thread
2.) You're welcome to think that Jesse Holley is making the team

Re: Kneejerk reactions: Post-Giants game final roster cuts edition
It seems that if Brady goes down that we will be F'd regardless... so let's cut both Mallett and Hoyer to open up some roster space, and give the second string chores to Edelman. Sure he will suck but at least he can put his defensive expertise to good work after he throws a pick. Vince can be the 3rd stinger and wildcat QB.

Joker, I apologize. Of course, you are the exception. I've had too many mint julips, too much salty air and vacation time here on the Cape, and too much political convention playing in the background. All of this led me to be hypersensitive to nonsense. If I'd kept my head about me, you would have stayed on my radar screen and been the savior.

Now see, that's not what i saw. i saw him as being leaps and bounds above last year's exposure, and certainly better than anything I've seen from Hoyer so far.
Granted it's pre-season, but Mallett held his own against the 1st string defense of the Gints.
I'd be happy to take him over Hoyer.
And Holley made a nifty sideline catch. It's a shame that BB was let down by his booth guys topside. If he'd gotten his challenge flag out earlier, the Pats would've had a first down and likely a touchdown against the Gint.

that's how I see it, anyway. YMMV.

Did you watch the 08 preseason games? Cassell looked god awful and he managed to do alright after Brady went down, us fans cant tell a whole hell of a lot from these games.

Yeah, I think hes ok

MikeReiss: Rookie RB Jeff Demps, who didn't finish the game (medical staff checking leg area), says he is OK in post-game locker room. Demps answered a few questions from reporters. Came in later than most to locker room, likely after undergoing tests. GregABedard: Jeff Demps was taken for x-rays. Didn't appear serious. Most of the time those are precautionary.
