What do you all predict as far as Patriot players who will shine, players who will disappoint, players who will surprise, etc...
And who will look better out of Vick and Foles for the Eagles? Personally, I think Vick is 10x better than Foles.
Here's my prediction:
Tebow plays most of the game, and looks pretty darn good, but it is all against Eagles back-ups, so all of his swooning supporters over-rate his performance.
.
Foles is pretty gpod man, not sure what you saw last year but Foles is more than all right, he might not fit the scheme though.
Foles is the next Aaron Rodgers.
Just kidding.
I watched him last year and he sucks.
I watched him last year (probably more than you did ) and he certainly does not suck, so we will agree to disagree.
he averaged 247 yards a per game, had more Tds than INTs and around an 80 QB rating, all this as a rookie thrown in with a garbage offensive line and a team unable to execute most of the time .
Here's my prediction:
Brady in for one series; o-line doesn't look so hot and he gets sacked or hit, so he is immediately removed from the game without anybody getting any good looks at him and his new receivers.
Mallett comes in and is uninspiring. Maybe he scores one TD, but only if the Eagles back-up D is in.
Tebow plays most of the game, and looks pretty darn good, but it is all against Eagles back-ups, so all of his swooning supporters over-rate his performance. Since BB hates to lose even preseason games, the Pats try real hard in the 2nd half and either win or lose a close one.
On D our starters play one series. They look fine and get the Eagles off the field. After that it's the scrubs and they are all over the place, allowing some big plays, but making a few too. Play is inconsistent and sloppy.
Fans are scared/frustrated by this performance. We over-analyze it all week long and can't wait for the next one!
Edit - forgot to all that at his presser BB says, we made some good plays, we made some bad plays, we still have a long way to go...
I don't expect to see the #1's much. They will have had action in the scrimmages.
All I ask for is "no injuries".
Lol. I agree that if Brady gets breathed on too hard, he's coming out of the game. I also agree that I don't think BB risks Mallet too much either, so we'll see a lot of Tebow. Hyperbole both ways will ensue, as he will do enough to prove both his fans and haters right.
I'm very interested to see who Brady targets the most with the new WR corps. Amendola is a very talented guy, but Boyce and others have been making waves from the accounts I've read.
I wonder how vanilla the plays will be, especially the Tebow ones. At least we weren't bombarded with idiocy like that of the Jets last year talking special package this, special package that.
It's funny about the Pats D. People don't really compare them to the likes of the Steelers, 49ers, and such, but they are always a pretty good value pickup in fantasy football when you're in a pinch.
