I wonder if this means our last two preseason games are at home. I hope so.

That's a crappy schedule. Fly across the country one week and then the next week have to fly to China. I'll bet they have a couple lethargic weeks of training camp following that trek.

I take it to mean we'll play 5 preseason games....terrific. We seem to always burn out after 22.75 games every year (incl. preseason). Just think about the 4th quarters of those SB wins too, along with the AFC title game - 7 TD's given up in the 4th qtr of those 4 games, 19.3 ppg allowed.

I wonder how much of the training camp roster makes that China trip. How did the Pats get roped into that thing anyway? Did the Krafts volunteer? It should be two West Coast teams.

another bad point is that, imho, the Pats will be 'obliged' to play in China with the starters all the game...not only a couple of series...

do you agree it will happen ? of course SEA too...

Do we get to practice in Seattle for half a week before flying to China? Instead of having to fly back to NE.

No, I believe they will treat it like a normal preseason game.

Yeah, apparently we play Seattle there in a preseason game, then stay out there before heading to China.

I guess Reiss justs figures we're supposed to assume we stay in Seattle for a few extra days. Where will we practice though? At the University of Washington? Some high school?

My opinion is WTF!
