Lol, Kraft the "architect" of 4 super bowl championships

Good Lord, anybody else finding the announcers calling Garoppolo "Jimmy G" annoying? This is New England, not the Jersey Shore.

I find it more annoying that the announcers constantly refer to the players by their names. I mean, we all know who 12 and 38 are, but really?

I agree that Boyce has been garbage this game, but that last one was 100% on Garropalo under throwing him.. he needs to put that out there 15+ more yards to give Boyce a chance to get under it

Not impressed by any of the skill positions right now on offense

The deep ball was overthrown by 5 yards. Fauria is just riding Boyce because he is the only WR he has any notes on. Boyce has not been that bad, he is getting open and stretching the defense. He hasn't made the tough catch, but do you actually expect Josh Boyce to make the tough catch?

My reservations regarding Logan Ryan still apply......always chasing his man....

I agree it was a bad pass. I think jimmy thought he should put a little less on it but that was definitely a bad throw.

White 2 for 2 on blitz pickups. Looks like he will be our new 3rd down specialist.

I'd like a 3rd down running back, though. He goes down with a mild breeze. Some nifty moves receiving, but when you're afraid of contact, it never gets better and I've yer to see him fight for a yard in traffic.

Because (A) they're not always going to go for 2, and (B) he's the best f—king kicker in the league.

I was being sarcastic.

Some healthy WRs would have helped Brady and Jimmy G. Meh it's preseason.

Agreed. Good to see some of the rookies standout though. Hoping Gray just keeps impressing too.

All in all not a bad showing by the defense and the oline starter wise.

So far, IMO, White has looked pretty good with the ball in his hands in space, but has looked like total crap when actually trying to run the ball down the middle.

So he's basically an exact clone of Vereen, then?

Most of the skill position players are not playing. I'm not surprised that the Offense looks weak.

Penalty on Logan Ryan. Sheesh.

Thanks, but I watch every regular/post season game at home, so that kind of set-up isn't really what I need. Just a quick fix for tonight.

We'll hopefully it helps someone else needing a way to watch the games

Wood head was the only guy that excelled running the football. Even Faulk was not easy on the eyes running when it wasn't a draw.

Ryan is ridiculously inconsistent.

Someone besides Boyce

That didn't look good.

Good lord, now White is hurt. We're literally down to Gray and some guy named Creecy at RB.

So... who wants to not get injured?

oh no I like white, hope hes ok
