The Official Patriots vs Giants game thread

[BradyFTW!]

Was Bolden really that bad? Yea, his PR was horrible, but I thought he was
OK. But , I guess thats why I listen to you guys.

I thought he was pretty good as well, although I have a hard time envisioning a situation where he'd be active on game day while Ridley was healthy. Based on that, I had him on my projected 53 (as an inactive), but PS makes sense too.

I rather watch a dog take a dump that watch Mallet try to run this offense. He is brutal, and we are the 2011 Colts if God forbid Mallet has to start. I don't care if BB signs The Expendables to protect Brady, he better protect Brady all year.

The search for Tom Brady's replacement continues.

Bolden had a couple of drops that should've been caught.

I think Mallett is better than Hoyer, but they need to draft another guy.

Did they call the Chiefs the New York Chiefs on that GB vs KC commercial?

 

[Deus Irae]

I'd say Mallet did well playing with the 3rd string OL and 3rd string WRs and backs.

We were watching different QBs. I saw one that threw yet another Sanchez to the sidelines (easy pick-6 that was dropped) and didn't impress me with anything else.

Mallett hasn't exactly gotten the play calling to help his cause...run, run, short pass isn't going to do much against any NFL player.

At worst, Brandon Bolden makes the practice squad.

Cunningham has impressed tonight no doubt. And wasn't his first sack against the giants 1's?

Having never been to Trader Joe's, I must say that this non-commercial commercial isn't one that's got me frothing at the mouth to go there.

Trader Joe's is a great store. They open one here in Houston next month. My wife will go nuts.

I'm just having a hard time putting him on the roster. The Patriots seem to be giving him an extended tryout, but he's blowing it completely in the return game, and doing nothing as a runner.

I'm struggling to justify him on the team, because the way he's playing, it seems that he'd be basically a useless RB5, unless there's significant worry that Vereen is going to go the Dolly Parton route.

This is HORRIBLE!!! What the hell are they doing, trying to evaluate players and find out what they can/cannot do? This is crazy!!!! I'm done...no season for me....worst game in history....:bricks:...

I've heard that they're great. I've just never been. My comment was really more about the Patriots' broadcasting team (and J. Mayo) giving it a pimped, but very unimpressive, halftime segment.

I really didn't care that the frozen food section was one of that guy's favorites, you know?

Week 4 preseason games are painful viewing. If this is what it's like to be a Jets fan all year around then **** that.

Except that Rats fans richly deserve it.

So far this is my favorite preseason game

Cassel looked just as bad in 08. Remember who he's playing with. He showed poise and confidence. Might not be ready yet but he's progressing

The bolded part is kind of my point. I'm not seeing that progress. I'm seeing the same bad reads and same Sanchez-like throws to the sidelines, game after game.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Understatement of the year. I rather watch a dog take a dump that watch Mallet try to run this offense. He is brutal, and we are the 2011 Colts if God forbid Mallet has to start. I don't care if BB signs The Expendables to protect Brady, he better protect Brady all year.

Go back to the 2008 preseason game threads and see what people were saying about Cassel. Just because he looks bad now, when Weems is his LT and Holley is the top receiving threat, doesn't mean that he actually is bad.

 

[PatsWSB47]

Brown wants to make the Giants roster

 

[Joker]

I cannot believe some "fans" are taking this game seriously, like it's life and death or something...I'd put Vince back there returning punts to see what he does in the 4th preseason game...I mean WTF is the matter with half you "fans"?? What is Bolden doing back there on punts?}????? I mean, someone has to actually EXPLAIN that to you???

I didn't see the ad in question, but I will say that Trader Joe's is awesome. Highly recommended.
