The really Official Patriots vs Giants Preseason Game Thread

If Buchanon is hurt for any time, looks like Bequette may survive the Turk once again. Moore looked good. Similar to a Buchanon last year.

QB (2) Brady, Garoppolo

You guys are that confident about Jimmy G as our backup QB all year, I take it? While you may be correct in the end, I highly disagree.

Jimmy is sad that the preseason is over. Jimmy liked Dan Roche's play by play analysis. Jimmy is sad he won't be calling games until next preseason. The rest of us are ecstatic.

The new rule is that teams can have up to two players with up to two years experience, regardless of # of games played.

On the bright-ish side, that does mean that Boyce is eligible.

Here'ss Jimmy!
BTW recognize the dentist?

I like to think that the dentist, Hal, and Walter are all the same guy. He has lived a long and complicated life.

Seen more legitimate NFL talent from Garoppolo in 4 games than I have from Mallett in 4 years.

You would rather have Mallett out there if it came down to it? Give Jimmy the starting offense tonight with a legit offensive game plan and he probably wold have had about 350 yards and 4 TD.

Gonna use a PS slot on him? Tyms?

While you may be right, how much of that is basic/vanilla type of reads? In other words, is he really going to be able to produce anything in real NFL action, should it come down to it? That's what I'm not sure about.

We'll know enough in a couple of days.

I'm not 100% convinced that Mallett isn't our backup QB still. We'll have to see.

I'm just not sure how Mallett has ever indicated that he'd be able to better or even as well.

Michael Buchanan is the only potential blemish on an otherwise perfect preseason (based on the most important preseason stat, injuries). This team is pulling off the rare feat of leaving training camp far healthier than it started.

To be totally honest, if Brady went down I would feel more confident seeing Jimmy G come in than Mallett.

There is no way Grop is ready to be tom's immediate back up. Lots of promise, yes, but still another year away

Yeah, I definitely cringed when he went down, but he wasn't down for long, and walked off without much of a limp, so hopefully it was a minor thing.

Which makes me a happy guy. To come out of a preseason with Chris Jones as our most notable injury makes this a successful month in my book.

Wright looked decent from what I watched tonight. Has a really knack for finding the soft spot in zone coverage.

DUMB Post ......but I will say this. .....Jimmy G is the future and heir apparent right now......and this could very well be TFB last season as starting qb....time will tell....

I wouldn't be surprised if Tyms makes the roster, since he won't take up a spot for the first 4 weeks anyway.

Tom Brady walked off when he tore his ACL too.
