Kneejerk reactions: Post-Giants game final roster cuts edition

[Deus Irae]

Have at it!

 

[Joker]

I looked at the sideline and I thought I saw this Pats employee with a camera in his hand but upon further investigation, it's a BONE SAW....looks bad for Demps.....Lt. Dan'ed before his season ever took hold

 

[Rob0729]

I can't believe they kept Jesse Holley over Jabar Gaffney. What did Michael Holley uncover during his time writing Patriots Reign that he is holding over Belichick?

Three words:

Demps!

Demps!

Demps!

Another three words:

Knee!

Knee!

Knee!

Another six words:

Screw DeOssie!

Screw DeOssie!

Screw DeOssie!

 

[BlueThunder]

Bolden gets a spot at RB....

 

[Joker]

I'm not sure but I get the distinct impression you do not believe me....it's all true...I SWEAR..

 

[Deus Irae]

You were robbed of a catch because BB was too slow with the challenge, Mr. Holley.

Unfortunately for you, that'll probably be the highlight of your Patriots career. Good luck to you in your profession, whatever it may be, but it's not going to be Patriots wide receiver.

 

[Ring 6]

Bolden is an OK practice squad candidate.
Sterling Moore is awful.
Ebner makes this team.
Could Hoyer be in trouble?

 

[Joker]

not from what I saw tonight, Andy...Hoyer is clearly ahead of Mallett as far as I'm concerned..I do not put much stock in Hoyer holding the ball for five and six seconds in a collapsing pocket waiting for camp cuts to get open...what we saw in the 4th quarter was a good pro taking one for the team...IMO of course

 

[BlueThunder]

BB may roll the dice and hope Mallett is far enough along to do ok with the number ones. Hoyer didn't prove much tonite.

It would free up the roster for a spot where the extra player would provide more. LB is getting thin and the season hasn't even started. An extra OL might be neeed also. I think there are quite a few players that might provide more upside at their position than carrying 3 qb's.

Then you aren't paying attention to how this works. Gaffney was let go either because he is being given a chance to find another home before the preseason is over, or because he's hurt and the team needs another body for the last preseason game.

 

[Hardly Dykes]

Golden opportunity for Mallett to run with the #2 job and never look back and...yuck! Granted, there were some drops, some pressure and the obvious slanted game planning to get Bolden his carries to see what he has but he just doesn't seem to have "it" at this point.

We also had a game to play tonight with about 20 players inactive, and Gaffney wasn't able to play.
It is still very unknown whether Gaffney is ready to play, and whether he was cut to bring back when he is ready, but not waste a roster spot until he is.

Agree with each one.

 

[Reckedtrek]

After tonight, I'm not so sure I would classify Weems as a lock.

We agree? Sign of the Apocalypse? LOL

He almost had the best night of any QB on the field... And it wasn't his fault he didn't.

A lock for the McDonald's drive up window attendant!

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Even for the PS, although he'll probably clear waivers.
