The Official Patriots vs Lions Pre-Season Game Thread

Well, I think they are deliberately targeting Bush. Spikes is just his victim.

Called exploiting a mismatch

It was a joke man.. lighten up.

My internet sarcasm detector needs a tune-up.

Why is Arrington still on this team?

 

[2000army]

Leon Washington is gone

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Until Collins comes into his own, I think our biggest weakness is still our cover on RBs and TEs.

Dane Fletcher can cover better than anyone ellse at LB

What a great deke move by Thompkins. Not so nice drop

 

[Big-T]

That was a ridiculous drop, you just can't make mistakes like that in the NFL.

BAD drop by thompkins
Rookies showing rookieitis

 

[DefenseRules]

Not a good night for our rooky WRs so far.

 

[Rob0729]

I'm ok with the rooks making these mistakes in the preseason. Gives the coaches tape for them to work on.

 

[Betterthanmost]

I like what I am seeing, these are not mental mistakes on offense. On Defense, Mayo over pursued and that is it.

 

[Hael]

Yep, it happens. Lets see how our D responds

Not a good night for our rooky WRs so far.

Even GRONK had a stinker game or two as a rookie. . . .

Not a good night for our rooky WRs so far.

Other than the drop, Thompkins has been great. Haven't seen Dobson or Boyce yet.

Why is Arrington still on this team?

Because he gives a 110% on every play; an example was when he caught Reggie Bush from behind on that 65 yard screen play that would have went for a TD if not for Arrington coming from the other side of the field (RCB) to run down the ball carrier.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Ninko sucks, eh?

 

[jimache]

Why r we playing these neatherthals... Push and shove after each play is over. take all the starters out, put in the scrubs

I'm ok with every goddamn ball being dropped, as long as our starters get out of their in one piece.

Rookies showing rookieitis

It's tough when rookies who haven't played in a regular season game have to play in the Detroiter-Bowl. Their coaching staff have probably been game-planning this since the spring.

I wish Megatron was playing. Just awesome to watch that guy play and gauge where this pass D is
