Preseason Game Thread (NE vs. NC): The Countdown to Carolina begins.... (8/28)

Blakeman sucks.

Probably should've been a fumble, but I'm okay with early whistles in the preseason.

Does that mean the back of the NY tabloid will be Brady is wasting away because Gisselle isn't feeding him because their marriage is breaking up?

No. It's because his hot nanny/cook is too busy with other activities to cook properly.

fumble 100%

Pats screwed again by the refs.

When was the last time the Patriots didnt look like crap in the preseason? I think preseason really shows how good the Patriots coaching is. Without scheming and a real gameplan our guys all look pretty pedestrian. Makes you really appreciate the behind the scenes work that goes on every week.

Can't believe the depths of crookedness this Blakeman can stoop too...THAT was a CLEAR FUMBLE before the whistle...horrid...criminal officiating

I have a feeling we'll be getting screwed by the refs all year with calls like that

Yup... We need him to deliver.

You said it, baby!

If Webb wasn't a RB pretending to be a QB, that would have been TD.

Ebner cannot play NFL safety...end of story

He should gain some weight and move to LB because you're right he isn't going to make it as a safety.

Nice play by Swanson

I really believe it's just ref incompetence. I don't think they'll be out to get us this year. They held out against the league after all. They aren't just the cronies of the corrupt league office. We need to worry about the league trying to pull another "gate" against us.

I really like Swanson, have to say, he might be better than some think

Could've been a flag on Ryan there.

ninko lb sheard DE. will this be a thing?

If Jones, Sheard and Ninko are all in at once, all on the outside, presumably one will stand up and look like an LB. The obvious candidate for that is Ninko.

My wife is saying we won't get a call all year.

Seahawks have their 12th man, their fans, Panthers have their 12th man, the referee.

Every team is going to have that 12th man this season, especially if Brady wins in court.

Agreed. Even if you could convince me that there's a ref conspiracy against us, they're not going to bother screwing us out of a preseason game. There's literally no point.

Nice return by Harper
