The Official Patriots vs Eagles Pre-Season Game Thread

[Joker]

I'm trying to watch Blount blow the Eagles apart but this giant Teboner keeps popping up and getting in the way....

say what you want, that scoring drive is how the Teebs does it..it doesn't look pretty but he's a tough SOB with a tremendous will to win...at this point he's made this team IMO

Loves me some Fletcher. Pride of Bozeman, Montana.

Brady, Fletcher, Blount, Thompkins, best of the night.

Kelly and Jones as well in my opinion.

 

[Jackson 2]

I dunno, I got a feeling Tebow's McDaniel's baby. He's got visions of Steve Young in his head.

You mean like taking Brady's place? Time to light up another one.

I don't agree I think you keep 5 back; Washington is only going to return kicks very seldom play offense.

Bolden is a good back and he is still young.

It all depends whether they have to keep an extra WR and/or TE. They may have only keep four RBs especially if they keep Tebow.

PS - Some of you seem absolutely orgasmic that Tebow looks mostly awful tonight. When you are so invested in being right that you're rooting against a player on your team it's probably time for a reality check.

Mallett had time to get his rhythm tonight before he got injured. Does it take more guys to tackle a 6'7 QB in the pocket or a 6'3 QB on the run?

He has played well at various times. I didn't think he was awful tonight, he just wasn't that good. As good or better than Cassel in the preseason he ended up excelling.

Let's see if Tebow resembles anything but a wishbone QB tonight

Hold onto the ball, Logan.

Logan Ryan...please report ot the Re-hands clinic...stat

Here is someone who is paying attention.....I am no fan of tebow but the guy has gotten better since coming here. Most of the misses in his first series were not his fault. The 3 DL in the backfield play there....Brady would have gotten killed too. But he did miss a couple on the second series. In BB we trust....that is all I have to say on this....

Well Tebow's throwing motion has definitely improved and his footwork too but he isn't accurate enough and he can't put a real zip on the ball. Still there has definitely been a lot of improvement since he got here.

 

[RayClay]

Gotta catch those!

 

[PlainOldEd]

Catch the ball!!!!!!

 

[Demosthenes]

One thing to keep in mind when comparing Tebow to Mallett is that Mallett is now in his third year with this offense. Tebow's been in this offense for less than a month.

 

[Brady6]

Most of the night has been spent in a 3 DE and 1 DT front. Benard has seen significant snaps as the 3tech.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Barkley looks good for Philly, shoulda drafted him. Also, how did we not sign that giant receiver Momah out of BOSTON COLLEGE for Christ's sake. 6'7" and runs a 4.4 ?

 

[PatriotReign]

Ryan needs to catch that interception.

This twitter **** is annoying.

 

[deters]

Blount is playing exactly how i hoped for when we acquired him. Really like his tough nose style. Reminds me a lot of Corey Dillon with a touch of Brandon Jacobs. I think we end up keeping 5 RB's but I could also see Bolden being cut. Ridley and Vereen are legit all down backs and Washington is a 3rd down and KR/PR player. Bolden and Blount are both powerbacks and I could see us keeping only 1.

 

[Christiancat]

Yes. Too bad he didn't FAIL to score like Mallett.

Tebs just showed why Denver won the division and a playoff game. Question is...can coaching trim the brutal rough edges or is the talent just a tease? I really do not know. I'd prefer just 2 QBs and #53 a developmental playa.

Yup Tebow is definitely a winner. He has shown improvements in some areas. Although, he has things to work on with his accuracy and decision making. With that being said Tebow hasn't had as much time to learn the system as Mallet. Good observations.
