Welcome to Charlotte
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Welcome to Bank of America Stadium, where the Patriots visit the Panthers tonight in the third preseason game for both clubs.

The current temperature is 94 degrees and it feels every bit of it. The temperature should be dropping a bit as kickoff nears.

Former Patriots assistant coach Jeff Davidson, now the Panthers' offensive coordinator, is catching up with some members of the New England medical staff.

Twelve teams are expected to represented by scouts at tonight's game. The Jets, who host the Patriots in the season opener, are among the group.

We'll have more throughout the night.

Hello David Thomas!

Goodbye Ron Mexico!

This will be the second game in a row that the Patriots play in miserably hot conditions. Don't read into it too much if players are rotated out or sat at odd times--this is an important tune-up, but still pre-season.

[VJCPatriot]

I don't really care about winning and losing a preseason game as much as keeping everyone healthy. *knock on wood*. BB will likely 'try out' a lot of people that are on the bubble as well.

[Patriots Nation NY]

In the words of ole Pete Caroll... I'm jacked and pumped to watch tonight..

[zippo59]

I heard it was supposed to be in the 70s at gametime which isn't bad.

[PatriotNation]

I can not wait to see the OL, can they fix the problems they had last week.

Also I would love to see some holes for Maroney.

[tailgater]

Per Mike Reiss on CBS with Burton & Lobel, Brady did not take part in pregame warmups.

Reiss didn't make much of it, saying that making changes at halftime, and coming out for the 3rd qtr were among the most important things about the 3rd game.

I would like to see Cassel get good time this week with the starters, and also make sure the OL has it together a lot better than last week before Brady steps on the field anyways.

[DefenseRules]

Brady is in the House.

Brady warms up
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff
As expected, QB Tom Brady is in uniform and warming up on the field. The quarterbacks are all loosening up, throwing to the receivers.

:D

[tailgater]

Brady is in the House.

:D

Geez! He just said otherwise - live - on channel 4?

I must have misunderstood his statement. He must have said 'warmups' and meant the team stretching, etc.?

[LaBrady]

Wooooohoooo I am gonna watch it hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeeaaahaaaa

Getting wasted too!!!!!!!!

[DefenseRules]

Wooooohoooo I am gonna watch it hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeeaaahaaaa
getting wasted too!!!!!!!!

You sound like you are having a really good time. :rocker:

[Box_O_Rocks]

According to my local TV directory, the Pats are being shown here at 10 p.m. after the local losers game (on right now) - when is kickoff because I'm pretty sure I'm getting a tape delay?

[pats1]

Oh boy. Patriots Gameday is re-playing their 2006 season montage.

The last time they played this?

11:30 AM, January 21, 2007.

[pats1]

According to my local TV directory, the Pats are being shown here at 10 p.m. after the local losers game (on right now) - when is kickoff because I'm pretty sure I'm getting a tape delay?

8 PM. Call your cable company and tell them they suck, but not as badly as Charter. Just be happy you have the NFLN. ;)

[pats1]

Heh. The last they played that montage was before "that game." This time, they added in a few highlights from the game, then went to "You know the rest. Time for a new season."

Whew. Didn't know if I could take that.

[Box_O_Rocks]

8 PM. Call your cable company and tell them they suck, but not as badly as Charter. Just be happy you have the NFLN. ;)This site needs better smilies for crying...oh well, I get the tape delay at least.

[DefenseRules]

Well the quality of this broadcast is much better than last week.

[zippo59]

Can we have a broadcast that doesn't have technical issues? Guess not.

Tom's kid's name is John? Doesn't get many originality points.

[DefenseRules]

Hobbs is a little fire cracker. :D

[DefenseRules]

Man, I hope our OL has got their act together.

[BadMoFo]

Hobbs is a little fire cracker. :D


He is, but he lucked out on that third-down pass.

[BradyisGod]

ummm...weird series

[Grizzafted]

o line not looking good again.

But, Maroney could wind up being a beast. He's got that cutback ability. can't teach that. he could be the next Marshall Faulk.

[PatsWickedPissah]

Nice ST punt coverage. (/sarcasm for those not watching) Special teams are looking like special olympics.

[BloodSun]

Maroney will take time adjusting to the new blocking assignments

[DefenseRules]

o line not looking good again.

But, Maroney could wind up being a beast. He's got that cutback ability. can't teach that. he could be the next Marshall Faulk.

If our O-line continues to play poorly, he might not get the chance. :mad:

[DaBruinz]

Honestly, I thought Maroney hit the wrong hole on the 2nd down...

And I don't understand the draw call on 3rd down...

[PatriotsRiot93]

3 and out UGH. Obviously BB is working on zone blocking...

[BHSL2]

This Panther's run defense is pretty good.

[Grizzafted]

can't put what would have been that third down completion on Hobbs. that's a high percentage pass without a linebacker in coverage on that part of the field. he would have made the tackle a yard or 2 past the sticks. He could have a great year this year. that would make asante's situation much more straightforward.

man. i'm excited about this team. if they stay healthy. whooo. lots and lots of playmakers all over the place.

[DefenseRules]

Nice ST punt coverage. (/sarcasm for those not watching) Special teams are looking like special olympics.

Good punt, bad coverage. I think three guys missed tackles down there.

[Pat_Nasty]

o line not looking good again.

But, Maroney could wind up being a beast. He's got that cutback ability. can't teach that. he could be the next Marshall Faulk.

He's still moving horizontally too much behind the LOS, like he's trying for a breakaway every hand-off.

I hope that's just him trying to make a big impression in his first series back.

[Grizzafted]

defense gonna be soooo sick this year.

[Seymour93]

Meriweather in with the 1st team D.

[DefenseRules]

Adalius is looking good tonight.

[reflexblue]

He's still moving horizontally too much behind the LOS, like he's trying for a breakaway every hand-off.

I hope that's just him trying to make a big impression in his first series back.Rust and a new blocking scheam.

[BHSL2]

I do love our run defense though

[reflexblue]

This maybe the best defence so far under BB.

[Grizzafted]

Lawrence Maroney = 1,500 yards. morris barely sees the field this year.

[Pat_Nasty]

That's how it's done, Kool Aid.

Atta boy.

[BloodSun]

I do love our run defense though

Didn't in the first couple of games:p

[DefenseRules]

I guess BB wants to work on the Running game.

[Robdude]

I would like to see Kool Aid hit the hole also. he does not need to cut back everytime

[nashvillepatsfan]

now, when assante comes back(and plays well:rolleyes: ) this really should be a great defense

[Pat_Nasty]

At this point, I think the play-calling is bordering on "hazing."

[Brady_to_Moss]

tryin to see how maroney will do with a big work load. what 8 plays now all to him?

[DefenseRules]

At this point, I think the play-calling is bordering on "hazing."

LMAO!! That's a good one. :rofl:

[reflexblue]

At this point, I think the play-calling is bordering on "hazing."Like someone said they want to look at the run game

[Seymour93]

Watson has been lining up as WR on a few plays while Rivers is doing the heavy duty blocking. Looks like Rivers has a spot on the 53. Bad news for Mills.

[BloodSun]

I like running Maroney in this game,Have to see how he Is and how the zone blocking system helps him /or not.

[JackBauer]

I would like to see Kool Aid hit the hole also. he does not need to cut back everytime

What hole?

[BloodSun]

Is BB sending a message to the O-line ?

[nashvillepatsfan]

things might open up a little for the run, if we would pass the ball:D

[DefenseRules]

This offense is out of sinc. :(

[nashvillepatsfan]

well, like that, but on target:rolleyes:

[BradyisGod]

I like Sammy Morris.

[BHSL2]

Here we go Morris

[DefenseRules]

I am liking Sammy Morris. :rocker:

[Grizzafted]

If the offensive line can get its sh*t together the running game could be epic this year.

[DefenseRules]

well, like that, but on target:rolleyes:


Ok, it's a little out of sinc. :p
What a run by Maroney, Wow. :eek:

[BloodSun]

This drive looks like a statement.
A challange to the o-line.

[BHSL2]

Sammy Morris is a beast.

[nashvillepatsfan]

atleast we're chewin up the clock

[BHSL2]

Our runningbacks are running hard.

[reflexblue]

they have the screen down for sure Maroney is running great.

[Grizzafted]

i'm going nuts here. this is a championship caliber team, no doubt.

[Seymour93]

Damn it Kaczur.

[DefenseRules]

Kaczur come on man, settle down. WE were in a nice rhythm too.

[BHSL2]

Nice move Wes.

[nashvillepatsfan]

i'm going nuts here. this is a championship caliber team, no doubt.

shhhh, dont jinx us

[MoLewisrocks]

This offense is out of sinc. :(

That's what BB is probing in this PRE SEASON game.

Gee, they are getting in synch now. THAT is what the pre season is for.

I agree with the announcing crew - BB challenged them on that 4th down around the 20 - get your collective heads out of your asses. And now they have. Well, except for Kaczur...

[Seymour93]

I hate that 2nd down call.

[DefenseRules]

WHO THE HELL CALLED FOR HEATH EVANS ????:mad:

[BloodSun]

Anybody else noticed Maroney on that last play switched the ball away from the defender but moved it back when contact was iminent.

[Mix]

Watson has to hold on to that...

[BHSL2]

Kaczur needs to step it up.

[DefenseRules]

DAMN, SO Close to a TD.

[PatsWickedPissah]

watson is back in 2006 form!

[Grizzafted]

Ben.........

[MoLewisrocks]

Watson is still a work in progress... But a nice drive other than that.

[BadMoFo]

Gotta catch that Watson. He did have a good block on that drive, which led to a 12 yard run for Maroney. It was against Peppers also.

[reflexblue]

WHO THE HELL CALLED FOR HEATH EVANS ????:mad:MATT MILLEN.:D :D

[Patriots Nation NY]

watson is back in 2006 form!

Instant Classic.. :D

[nashvillepatsfan]

overall, a good drive. ate the clock, and got points...but 7 wouldve been better. all i care about tonight, is o-line

[Grizzafted]

imagine that offense + Randy Moss

[Brady to Brown]

This is going to be a fun season. The Patriots will never be out of any game. So many weapons.

[BHSL2]

I just noticed how slow my bodcast is.:mad:

[Brady_to_Moss]

imagine that offense + Randy Moss


OMG my mouth is wattering!!!

[Remix 6]

so far

-OL blocking is not crisp on the run
-Maroney is fast :)
-defense great even w/o Sey and Warren
-Watson play looked like a touchdown to me..even after replays..he hit ground then lost it.

[PatsSteve1]

BW has to make that catch. Morris showed where he has value and Marooney looks OK but needs the work.

[DefenseRules]

OMG my mouth is wattering!!!

I'm drooling.

[Remix 6]

I would like to see Kool Aid hit the hole also. he does not need to cut back everytime

what hole? he cuts when theres a defender there.

whats the difference if he cuts and gets 2 yards or just runs into a defender? Maroneys not Dillon..he wont pound it over and over.

[reflexblue]

Nine Minute Drive Very Gooood :rocker:

[Canadian Patriot]

I'm taking a liking to Welker....

[RayClay]

Rust and a new blocking scheam.

Use your imagination. He looks like a natural cutback runner and the Line is still learning.

I can see him making one move and straight arming defensive backs in no time.

He definitely looks more comfortable with cutbacks.

Feel like I'm watching the broncos.:D

[Remix 6]

what a hit by Rodney

Steve Smith is tough though..he always gets up after big hits

[DefenseRules]

Come on D, get these guys off the field.

[Underoath]

I like what I'm seeing from Sammy Morris thus far, especially the way he ran over Dan Morgan.

...What a hit by Harrison.

[BloodSun]

D is scary

[Patriots Nation NY]

Come on D, get these guys off the field.
I'm just watching Rodney.. He's a killa out there

[BHSL2]

WTH would Steve Smith celebrate?

[reflexblue]

I Hear Lk Smith Being Called Again On Defence. He's Keeping It Up

[cavtroop]

I'm just watching Rodney.. He's a killa out there

Yeah, Rodney is flying around the field - always around the ball.


BLOCK! YEAH!

[Remix 6]

woooooo BLOCKED

[Pat_Nasty]

WTH would Steve Smith celebrate?

Still having a head.

[PatsWickedPissah]

OK I take back the dissing of STs

[DefenseRules]

DAMN, A BLOCKED KICK. WOW. I haven't seen that in a long time. :D :eek: :D

[cavtroop]

Are anyone else' commercials about twice as loud as the broadcast? The commercials are usually a bit louder, but this is ludicrous. Watching in HD, btw.

[PatsSteve1]

I love blocked FG's. The other team thinks they have 3 ots and it's gone.

[Snarf]

man, Harrison is everywhere.

Hope he doesn't hurt himself with all of this acrobatics!

[PatsWickedPissah]

Are anyone else' commercials about twice as loud as the broadcast? The commercials are usually a bit louder, but this is ludicrous. Watching in HD, btw.

Megadittos. Wife *****ing downstairs every commercial break

[BradyisGod]

Are anyone else' commercials about twice as loud as the broadcast? The commercials are usually a bit louder, but this is ludicrous. Watching in HD, btw.

Indeed...ridiculous. My wife is complaining in the kitchen and she's 40 feet away.

[Seymour93]

I think I got mixed up earlier... Tory James and Richardson are out there.

[MoLewisrocks]

This being pre season, Carolina shoulda gone for it...LOL They been practicing FG blocking!

[Patriots Nation NY]

Still having a head.

:D :D :rocker:

[BHSL2]

Clutch kicking by John Kasay.

[Remix 6]

good running by Laurence with no real big hole there

[DefenseRules]

Heath Evans running the ball. :(

[cavtroop]

Indeed...ridiculous. My wife is complaining in the kitchen and she's 40 feet away.

Yeah, I just went to cbs.com and filed a complaint. not that it will help....

[reflexblue]

Maroney 14/56yds

[Mix]

Morris looks great tonight.

[cavtroop]

Morris is looking pretty good tonight - very north south.

[DefenseRules]

Morris is a BEAST. Jeez, he just keeps going. :eek:
I am pleasantly surprised.

[Remix 6]

what i like is were going outside a lot more than last year with Laurence. last year we tried pounding the middle with power but now we use his speed outside on toss, slants, blasts.

[reflexblue]

This sounds like a better comb. than maroney/dillon

[cavtroop]

Welker and Brady look in sync now, too. Lets see one deep to stallworth, just to mix things up :)

[BHSL2]

Why is Morris such a truck?

[cavtroop]

Morris is a BEAST. Jeez, he just keeps going. :eek:
I am pleasantly surprised.

agreed. even when hit, he seems to always fall forward for that extra yard. I like what I am seeing.

[BloodSun]

Yeah, I just went to cbs.com and filed a complaint. not that it will help....

Yeah I complained to my wife too,It never seems to help.

[Remix 6]

Randy Who? Ben Who? Wes Who? MARCELLUS!

[PatsWickedPissah]

A TE who can catch!!!

[DefenseRules]

Good job by the new #82, and I thought that he was JUST Camp Fodder. ;)

[Snarf]

wow, Wes Welker is like a young troy brown....

[Seymour93]

Rivers shows he can do more than just block. Brian Jones has been out there a little too. No sign of Mills though.

[MrBigglesWorth]

things are so much easier when you slow down the pass rush running 50 times.

[Boston Boxer]

chat room is open if interested

[DefenseRules]

things are so much easier when you slow down the pass rush running 50 times.

Yeah, I think the Carolina D is a little winded.

[Pat_Nasty]

chat room is open if interested

Where it at?

[MoLewisrocks]

A TE who can catch!!!

LOL... There are such things?

I don't know, I'm thinking Tommy should have more children, a lot more...

[Remix 6]

gj coverage team.

[DefenseRules]

Rivers shows he can do more than just block. Brian Jones has been out there a little too. No sign of Mills though.

I have my doubts that Mills will make it. I had high hopes for the kid too. He looked good in preseason last year.

[MrBigglesWorth]

plus it's 92 down there, i'm glad i'm in my AC now

[RayClay]

Do I dare say Rivers looks like a more natural receiver than Watson?

[DefenseRules]

LOL... There are such things?

I don't know, I'm thinking Tommy should have more children, a lot more...

What are you trying to say MO. LOL. :D ;)

[Remix 6]

Carr looks like a soccer player.

[reflexblue]

Whats Felgos going to say now?

[MrBigglesWorth]

nice play by richardson

[Seymour93]

David Carr looks like a friggin porn star with that slick hair. :rofl:


Richardson!!!!! :rocker:

[Remix 6]

Richardson on Smith? whats this! good job rook

[BadMoFo]

Good coverage by Richardson ... on Steve Smith.

[DefenseRules]

Check out Richardson. Nice play rook.:D

[Underoath]

Haha, Delhomme is such a *****. I hate that guy.

[PatsWickedPissah]

Very tight coverage by Richardson. The 53 gets more interesting.

[BradyisGod]

Watson, Jealous.

[Seymour93]

Great pass blocking... great catch by Watson

[BloodSun]

Good coverage by Richardson ... on Steve Smith.

If the pass led smith,would have been a completion.
But Richardson was in position for the tackle

[cavtroop]

hey, watson caught one! and held on!

[fillylabinga]

Wow. Brady has all day back there. I think just saw him dance the macerena in the pocket.

[reflexblue]

hey, watson caught one! and held on!A TE who can catch.....BRILLIANT. :D

[Richter]

Very quietly, and after a lot of people crapped on him recently, Tedy Bruschi looks to be getting back to form. His move back to the weak side with the arrival of Thomas is a very good thing for him, and it's starting to show. He should never have to play the strong side, now he can get back to being the play-maker we all know and love.

[Remix 6]

Panthers #2 CB cant cover Watson :\

[DefenseRules]

hey, watson caught one! and held on!

He just caught another and held on. :D

[PatsFan DK]

Hi, Im following the game from Denmark and its 3 am here. Is there any way i can listen to the game on radio. Thanks!

[Seymour93]

This 1st team offense is ruthless.

[Remix 6]

is it me or does Watson get hit pretty hard so often? not his fault .

[DefenseRules]

Wow. Brady has all day back there. I think just saw him dance the macerena in the pocket.

LOL!! :D

[Remix 6]

He just caught another and held on. :D

this is MADNESS

[PatsSteve1]

Watson always looks kinda stiff in his body movements to me.

[DefenseRules]

I guess the refs are in preseason too. :rolleyes:

[Remix 6]

Watson always looks kinda stiff in his body movements to me.

hes too muscular.

too much muscle for his 6"2 frame :o

[BloodSun]

Hi, Im following the game from Denmark and its 3 am here. Is there any way i can listen to the game on radio. Thanks!
try this-
http://www.thegamelive.com/index.php

[DefenseRules]

DAMN IT NEAL. :mad:

[Remix 6]

cmon NEAL

god damnit.

[Underoath]

What the hell kind of call was that? He just threw him to the ground, he didn't hold him...

[PatsSteve1]

why was that holding? Cause the guy fell down?

[Seymour93]

Rivers annihilated that OLB's knees.

[Tunescribe]

Hi, Im following the game from Denmark and its 3 am here. Is there any way i can listen to the game on radio. Thanks!

Don't know about radio, but you can follow the live play-by-play updates here:

http://scoreboards.aol.com/football/nfl/scoreboard.aspx

[Richter]

That was a bogus holding call on Neal. Reminds me of the officiating in the AFCC last year.

[DefenseRules]

Anybody else think that Stallworth could have come back to the ball a little.
Oh well, we can sure eat up clock, but it would be nice to score few points.

[MoLewisrocks]

Looked on the sidelines like Brady and Stallworth were discussing his read or route.

[BHSL2]

I see Gostowski can still kick.:eek:

[Remix 6]

we got burned..and it wasnt even steve smith or drew carter

[Seymour93]

Richardson showing off his rookieness there.

[BradyisGod]

Who blew that?

[DefenseRules]

Isn't that the same play they used against us in the Super Bowl?
Jeez, you would think that we could stop it by now.:rolleyes:

[Underoath]

That was just a good pass by Delhomme...but coverage could have been better.

[MrBigglesWorth]

nice holding steve smith

[BloodSun]

Just ugly all the way around

[Remix 6]

Who blew that?

looked like Richardson got beat with good coverage and just fell after Colbert caught it..Wilson didnt have the angle as he was sort of next to Richardson who slowed him down

[PatsSteve1]

I couldn't pick up the CB's number. Anyone?

[MrBigglesWorth]

Just ugly all the way around

you should spell preparation correctly

[Remix 6]

I couldn't pick up the CB's number. Anyone?

3 5
Richardson

[Underoath]

I couldn't pick up the CB's number. Anyone?

Richardson I think, I could be wrong, I thought I saw 35.

[PatriotsRiot93]

That was just a receiver skipping through the seams....

[DefenseRules]

I can't stand the sight of Delhomme, but he's a damn good Quarterback.

[livinginthe past]

Boy thats annoying. We have totally owned the panther then inexplicably give up a huge pass play when they had to go to the air.

[PatsWickedPissah]

Is that ref Skeletor or what?

[PatriotsRiot93]

Was it me or did Brady have a little hitch in his gate? He looked like he was holding off a limp....?

[JackBauer]

I can't stand the sight of Delhomme, but he's a damn good Quarterback.

No. He's really not.

And that's a Notre Dame DB for you.

[PatsWickedPissah]

Too bad about Richardson there. From making the 53 to a spot on the PS in one play :)

[MoLewisrocks]

Tommy sure looks happy. Don't think I've ever seen opponents shmoozing and patting an opposing QB at halftime, even in pre season...:D

[DefenseRules]

Boy thats annoying. We have totally owned the panther then inexplicably give up a huge pass play when they had to go to the air.


Thankfully it's halftime, and we can take back the momentum. If this game had continued after that play, things could have got ugly.

[BradyisGod]

Was it me or did Brady have a little hitch in his gate? He looked like he was holding off a limp....?

Oh jesus, here we go.

[PatsWickedPissah]

Anyone else think the Cats cheerlearers are hawt or what?

[Underoath]

Anyone else think the Cats cheerlearers are hawt or what?

No, did you see the Asian one? God damn she was ugly, but they had some good looking ones too.

[DefenseRules]

Brady looked fine to me. :confused:

[nowayback]

excellent half by patriots...last td doesnt count. and no way that was holding by neal. anyway lot of positives...and 1 negative....td by panthers

[fillylabinga]

Very quietly, and after a lot of people crapped on him recently, Tedy Bruschi looks to be getting back to form. His move back to the weak side with the arrival of Thomas is a very good thing for him, and it's starting to show. He should never have to play the strong side, now he can get back to being the play-maker we all know and love.

Agreed. I like Bruschi so much more on the weak side. I thought when Vrabel and Bruschi were together in the middle that they were pretty soft against the run. Having Thomas on the inside may not highlight his talents so much, but it makes the team much better overall.

[Julius]

I wonder what Kris Jenkins had to say to Brady before the end of the half? My guess is congragulations on the new baby and ditto for landing Gissele.

[PatsFan DK]

Thank you for your help. We get 4 games a week in denmark, the three sunday games and monday night! But thats not enough Pats so i try to follow the pre season games in here, and all the news i can get on different Boston newspapers.. Sorry for my my english!

[BradfordPatsFan]

Been catching up on the DVR. Very encouraged by what I have seen, though it is only preseason, just like it would be if the score were the other way around.

The defense is still flying around, they seemed to be caught up in their agressiveness on that td pass at the end of the half.

Errors in the red zone are still there, false start, Watson's dropped td.

Maroney and Morris have run pretty well.

Overall better first half than last week vs Tenn, IMO. I am looking foward to seeing them in the second half and the adjustments they make.

[BloodSun]

you should spell preparation correctly

Of course That's why I joined.
I care little of the Pats or sports In general,I only posted so you could correct my spelling.

just warning you. destroys all credibility. I guess it destroys the crdibility of allthingsbelichick

kudos

[Wotan_the_Wanderer]

Did something happen to Meriweather? Why is Richardson playing the slot so much? Yes, he was tooled on the TD reception, but he also made a nice play earlier in the game. Sanders also whiffed on the TD. :rolleyes:

[JackBauer]

You're going to blame Sanders on that play? I hate to break it to you, but Harrison wouldn't have made it either.

[JediMind]

Of course That's why I joined.

By the way I cut and pasted the comment from ALLTHINGSBELICHICK.COM.

Haha, strong ownage.

[PatsWickedPissah]

Deep pass for a TD reminded me of the SB vs the Cats

[fillylabinga]

Great half by the Pats. If the biggest thing we have to complain about is bad coverage by our 5th string CB I think we're going to be OK...

The Pats have completely dominated both sides of the line (even without Seymour and Warren!). That's more than enough to make me happy.

[cavtroop]

Did anyone else see something happen to Wilson? Looked like he pulled up lame, then went down holding his leg? Or am I seeing things?

[Wotan_the_Wanderer]

You're going to blame Sanders on that play? I hate to break it to you, but Harrison wouldn't have made it either.

Relax man, I'm not blaming Sanders. Like I said, Richardson let up the TD, but Sanders also didn't help matters by whiffing.

[BradfordPatsFan]

Did something happen to Meriweather? Why is Richardson playing the slot so much? Yes, he was tooled on the TD reception, but he also made a nice play earlier in the game. Sanders also whiffed on the TD. :rolleyes:

Perhaps they just want to see Richardson with the 1st team at nickelback and/or they want to let Meriweather play safety tonight?

[italia44]

that field is terrible......these offensive penalties.....two weeks in a row,have to stop

Mcdaniel is is either not showing anything or
we're back to dink and dunk.

[PatsWickedPissah]

++ OL

Was it me or did Brady have a little hitch in his gate? He looked like he was holding off a limp....?

He just had a baby. I'm surprised he can even walk.

[drakesta101]

Did anyone else see something happen to Wilson? Looked like he pulled up lame, then went down holding his leg? Or am I seeing things?

I thought the same until they showed an upclose shot of his jogging off the field seconds later.

Relax man, I'm not blaming Sanders. Like I said, Richardson let up the TD, but Sanders also didn't help matters by whiffing.

kind of hard when the guy is running full speed in open field against a less athletic guy. lets face it..Sanders isnt a superior athlete or very fluid . i think itd be hard for many people to make the tackle in open field like that

[Remix 6]

alright Reche. bounce back from terrible AFC championship game and terrible preseason Titans game

[MrBigglesWorth]

I think it was a solid half, not a great half. They only got 10 point out of it. The positives were running the ball and slowing down the pass rush. And allowing brady to be better in the passing game. Defense played well minus seymour and warren. this defense is gonna be scary when they return along with asante.

Negatives were only getting 10 points out of the three solid drives. Giving up a td in the last minute. Missing a 52 yard field goal when they were closing in on a score and killed the drive(remind you of the colts game and the penalty moving them out of field goal range and killing the drive?)

[DefenseRules]

Good Ole Reche.

[PatsFanInVa]

Ahhhh the Stallworth hookup... the welker throw last half... and we can only play Madden to imagine the Moss factor.

[BradfordPatsFan]

Looks like Stallworth and Tommy are doing just fine.

[Remix 6]

Brady would've been the blame . not a very good throw . gj Donte`


i dont like the playcalling too much. so random(good/bad?)

we ran like 10 times in a row to start with..now were throwing 10x in a row .

[BHSL2]

I Love The Deep Ball.

[marcus]

Looked extremely slow and outclassed on the big play by Colberty

[Remix 6]

he cant run well anymore..but he can still catch.

i remember 1 of his first games with us he ran all over the Dolphins but ever since..his running went down. showed good hands twice today though

[reflexblue]

What differance a week makes.

[BadMoFo]

Heath. Good job.

That throw was exactly where it should be, outside shoulder.

[MoLewisrocks]

These refs look like they could use a 10 game pre season... PI contact staring you right in the face...

Heath Evans TD :D

Parcells did the same thing with Curtis Martin. I think he ran it so many times in a row to establish a mentality, slow down the pass rush, test maroney, and open up the passing game. now it's more pass because he's not gonna wear out maroney.

Outclassed? What is that supposed to mean?

[Handel]

which radio station I could get to pick the game?

I doubt they're calling plays as in a game plan. probably just trying different plays at different times to see how they work.

Do you know the purpose of pre season?

Heath Evans TD :D

No Doubt, MO. The guy was all over Stallworth in front of that Ref.

[Remix 6]

Do you know the purpose of pre season?

we had some questionable playcalling last year too..its not just preseason.

[ctpatsfan77]

Excellent job by Evans.

Also good to see #86 walking the sidelines with a smile on his face. :)

[DaBruinz]

No Doubt, MO. The guy was all over Stallworth in front of that Ref.

I was saying the same thing... friggin ridiculousness.

[BHSL2]

Yeah, but it's still just preseason. I'm not worried yet.
