Belichick didn't look thrilled on the sideline with Garoppolo taking that sack.

The D has surprised. The O is missing too many starters. That's the bottom line.

 

[Saint Pat]

OMG. DO YOUR JOB!!! But when's America's Game the 2014 New England Patriots>

im sorry but boyce sucks.

...jimmy struggles but he's playing with a weak line/no edelman or gronk.

 

[anditsgood]

Nice hyperbole. 70% of the people he is playing with probably won't see the field in a Pats uniform this season.

most of the people playing in the second half wont make the team

he was playing with 2s and 3s, he looks off, unless you thought otherwise

JG looks a lot better last year, this year, not so much

I'm on vaca in Aruba following the game on this forum like a degenerate Pats fan...thanks for updates

Easley has been exploding off the snap all night, he's got his burst back and is legitimately freakish in that regard. It has also been used against him at least once tonight, with GB running into the space he vacated. Worth it, though. He's going to blow up some pocket passers and destroy some slow-developing runs this year.

I'll take your word for it cause I've been waiting to see Easley do something . Now I have seen sheard and flowers exploding off the snap, grissom too.

Jimmy G looks horrible, hope Brady doesnt miss 1 down

5 out of 13, for 63 yards so far. Was hoping for better numbers from him, for sure.

 

[ViperGTS]

The defense for the most part has looked fairly above average IMO. I think this D is going to be much, much better than most pundits will give them credit for. They seems to have some good depth at the DL for sure.

 

[JMC00]

I think Butler and Fletcher are definitely better than Ryan. The rest remain to be seen.

Terrell Brown is no question a better CB than Ryan.

 

[anditsgood]

I'd rather have ryan fitzpatrick than Jimmy G.

I wouldnt quite go that far

 

[RayClay]

Not impressed with Jimmy. I see a backup not a starter. People are hyping this guy up and I just don't see it.

I hope he's a backup!

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

I think it's fair to say Garoppolo looked more impressive last preseason than he does now.

It's the first half of the opening game dude

By "this year" you also mean "this quarter". Not big on sample sizes huh?

 

[raduray]

I like the idea of creating a global wide farming system for new players though

Yes, we definitely need more Jewish football players

 

[Tony2046]

Hard to judge JG behind that OL. He needs to get used to Boyce's speed during game time. That dude is fast. Boyce has had some drops as well.

Not great stuff but not bad. They definitely have some upside.

 

[Patriot Missile]

I am reminded why I don't visit game threads too often.

Yo Manx, what did you think of Mason and Jackson tonight? I was pretty impressed with the rookie class as a whole.

 

[JMC00]

Trolls and chicken littles on here are already in mid-season form.

 

[JMC00]

People throwing in the towel on Jimmy because of 2 bad throws to Josh Boyce in the first half of the first preseason game. Good stuff

Ya like I just posted, some posters are already in mid-season form
