The official Patriots vs Lions's pre-season game thread

How 'bout before the 15?

Tate the kickoff specialist to the 13 & 17.

cmon...they ran it up into the line...straight vanilla...with Ohrberger in first snap...BB is using these situations to evaluate...

 

[BradyToAmendola]

Boy, these Lions look good. Punched us right in the mouth.

It will be interesting watching them this year.

NFC North is looking like a hell of a tough division. Packers, Lions, Bears made the NFC Championship last year...even the Vikings have some players on their roster.

At this point, I say if you catch the ball at any point inside the end zone, take a knee. I think a lot of teams will start inside the 15 when they return.

I'm not going to get too upset with the Pats playing a vanilla 3-4 with their fourth DE, third string ILB, and other backnups, but I am disappointed with the lack of fire.

This. Patriots aren't playing this game to win anything.

He loses a yard and Gumble has to ask if he made it?

Yeah, and the last time law firm had it by a mile he called it a favorable spot.

[DefenseRules]

Who the hell is this female reporter?

 

[billdog3484]

definitely going to be an unintended consequence for the NFL with so many touchbacks...scoring will be down this year. teams just dont go 80 yards for TDs that often

 

[stcjones]

What is this...detroits Super Bowl? They are playing like a bunch of thugs out there and like their lives are on the line here...

 

[PatsWSB47]

Hey, we've scored 3 unanswered points

 

[PatsBoy12]

Good tackle by Carter on that play.

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

I'd like to see a good defensive series here, to keep the good feelings from last week going.

 

[DefenseRules]

Oh of course pass interference.

 

[italia44]

connolly ankle,not knee....TG

Don't think you're gonna see much pressure tonight

 

[Observer]

Good game for the Pats, in terms of understanding the major weakness of this team - the O-line. Good to see it so glaringly obvious in the preseason rather than the postseason. The line cannot even protect the QB long enough for the receivers to get where they are supposed to be. Fingers crossed Cannon solves this problem but hats off to the Lions, I like their game.

 

[qbno12]

The kickoff rule's should change before the regular season starts...

 

[JackBauer]

CBS is going to show Vanden Bosch's head rather than a reply of the penalty?

WTF?
