When you're accustom to HOF QB play the last 10 years it's hard to watch anything less lol.

It like having steak tips at the 99 when for the last year you've been getting the filet at the Capital Grille

After what I saw today, Jonas Gray will average 8 yards per carry and Butler is the next Revis. Can I watch a few games before making predictions? Jimmy struggled tonight, as did others.

Didnt make a prediction, just stated what you did, that jimmy is struggling and not having a good game, he played better in the past, meaning he has not played to his potential

I think Boyce will be cut tomorrow.

Jimmy G needs games, a sequence, and with the starters he would play a lot better, I still think he can't get a 2-2 record in case Brady miss 4 games, just RELAX people.

People are aware Brady played the first three series, right? didn't exactly set the world on fire.

There is nothing worse than watching 2nd-3rd string OL play. Nothing.

How about talking about some F***King air pressure for 7 months? I think that's worse. Hell I think that's a lot worse.

He was also throwing to Boyce

Barring injury, Gibson's definitely on the 53. Polished route-runner, good hands. That alone will get you a roster spot when Brady's the QB, assuming you have the brains to know your routes.

Looks like Florio is a full blown Pats fan now:

There's so much in that "Do Your Job" trailer that is fascinating. I've watched it 10 times already.

Just order extra gravy man. It's the only way to get through that.

Yes but he has a 15 year track record of greatness. Grapes does not.

White has some decent open field running moves.

EXACTLY. Let's see how the kid does with a healthy offense.

I mean it's not like Jimmy has been horrendous.

13 of 22 (59%)
111 yards
1 INT

and that's without any of the projected opening game starters, outside of probably Tre' Jackson and Jonas Gray and potentially White as the 3rd down back.

Maybe, but as Pats fans, we're not used to having to aspire to "not being horrendous". That's Jets territory.

Garoppolo has missed 3 throws. Other than that he's been pretty good. Not sure what anyone really expected with this cast.

Watch Lindley come in and throw 3 TDs

Seeing him play before, that wouldn't surprise me, I just think it would be 3 td's to the other team though. lol

Vereen who?

Paul and Andy are a net negative for Bob's Discount Furniture

Boyce dropped a first down during that series with Brady.

I'm really disappointed that we don't get to see that new TE, #85. What's his name?

guys about Jimmy G...

he has NOT been accurate tonight...BUT pay attention to a couple of skills he has shown off so far this game...traits that most starting NFL QBs in the NFL dont even have consistently

1. he can stand in the pocket and deliver the throw in face of pressure right in his face
2. he keeps his eyes downfield regardless who is around him

if you have those two abilities, the rest will come with time...i like Jimmy, think after seeing some more live game time,he will improve in leaps and bounds
