PRESEASON GAME DAY THREAD: Patriots vs. Packers 8/13

[NG Pats Fan]

Flowers please get up!

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

Another rookie goes down in the first quarter

 

[Sfpat]

Haven't heard Butler's name yet, which is always a good sign

I think Butler is done for the day

 

[BadMoFo]

Well so much for Flowers.

 

[woolster22]

Figures. Two rooks playing well on d and they get dinged.

It's more probable than not that goodell is running a bounty program against the pats.

 

[ashley]

Hope he's just gassed

 

[farn]

Every single down : pre or season - is a huge risk... Hate to see that. Especially after showing well.

 

[TBR]

Packers fault. Quit going for it, assholes.


(halfway kidding)

 

[NG Pats Fan]

Did the packers leave there punter in Green Bay or something?

 

[Patriot Missile]

Aaron singin a song in the huddle to his left tackle."You don't bring me Flowers anymore"

 

[ashley]

good news on Flowers

 

[HeadHunter]

So we will have half the roster on the injury report tomorrow... Ugh. Didn't they say we already had like 23 players with injuries?

 

[BadMoFo]

Gut kick.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Helmet to helmet and a kick

 

[BradyFTW!]

On the play where Flowers got hurt, it looks like it was Easley who penetrated into the backfield and left a gap open. Considering that Easley's game is all about burst and penetration, I think we've gotta get used to that. Interior penetration has a lot of benefits, and a couple of drawbacks. On the net it's definitely a positive, but it will leave some lanes open. If we're lucky, our DEs will consistently be as good at reacting to it as Flowers was there.

Offense needs to hold on to the ball. Give the defense a rest.

 

[Ross12]

Somebody pulled a Suh on Flowers and kicked him in the buds, so to speak.

Flowers goes to the locker room. Looks like an injury to his right arm or shoulder.

 

[BadMoFo]

Come on Rodgers. You can score against these rookies and special teamers.

Nice tackle by Fletcher. Didnt get deked and overcame the stiff arm.
