How do you feel after Pre-season Game 1? [a photo poll]

Defense was outstanding!!



Offense needs a lot of work still.



Early days of preseason. But man is it exciting just to watch our guys playing in pads again!!

I almost selected option e because when i looked at it quick i thought it was amobile artillery thing. Like one of those things that shoots missiles. So I thought of it as the Patriots blowing almost everybody out and scoring a lot of points. Then I realized what it really was

Oh by the way, can I bum a smoke?

that's pretty much how every game ends.......especially the prime time ones

and no......smoked 'em all last nite

I'm bummed. I taped it on NFL but watched it locally. I get up really early and was v tired and went to bed at the half figuring I could watch the replay today only to find out the NFLN had run other programming in NE and there was no tape of it. Too bad I wanted to SD the kids play, however I did like what I saw.

Option F) all of the above

a) when Mitchell went down--the Oh Four letter F word

b) knowing brady will be back week 5, just got to practice my breathing -- breath in , breath out, all will be fine

c) is for the defense, this D should rival the 04 team

d) JC had good points, and bad point at the same time, tended to hold the ball too long, not seeing the whole field, forced a few throughs, its just the first game,not panicking, not quite comfortable

e) the offensive line, trainwreck is being polite and kind

Why did you set it to record the NFL broadcast as opposed to the local? Just curious.

A is my reaction to the fact that Football is finally back

Panic?

BB seemed pretty content after the game. He should. He knows he's got a helluva team this year - as talented as any team he's coached.

And the (apparent) fact that as deep as this roster was, he was able to pull out some potential contributors in the draft is remarkable.

Fix that OL - come on, Cooper and Jackson, get out of that tub - and this team rolls.

Oh, and Bennett might well be the best pickup of any team in the offseason. They couldn't stop him last night, and that's without Gronk and JE on the field beside him.

4 games of Integrity*

It's preseason, a lot will change with Edelman and Gronk out there. Line has some work to do.

I chose option A, but that's more because of my own personal problems...

Uncontrollable excitement

Although the constant threat of injuries has me in a panic on a nearly daily basis

My own feeling was that it was a preseason game that answered few of my questions - like all preseason games do. Oh, I just noticed the picture can be read of that I'm saying this thread is silly. I'm not. I'm saying all of my "conclusions" based on a preseason game are silly.
