The Official Patriots vs Eagles Pre-Season Game Thread

I'm a little late to the party.

Honestly, after watching him tonight If I didn’t know who Tavon Wilson was and his draft status, I would have thought he was a practice squad level type player just trying to make the first wave of cutdowns.

Harmon should be well ahead of him at this point. His confidence might be shot.

Don't you love all the draft experts on this board saying that Harmon was a terrible reach when they never saw him play?

We all have learning curves when it comes to learning things and Tebow is no different. Anyways good game by the team overall.

Harmon when he's late, at least he lays the lumber. Noticed a few big hits by Harmon on receivers.

Holy ****e!! #69 Anthony Rashad White is huge!! Great stuff there.

that was dumb Chip. Kick the field goal.:bricks:

 

[RayClay]

Agreed....Gost's job can't be that secure here....I still haven't got over the fact that BB wouldn't go to him to kick a FG try in the 2007 SB in a DOME!!!! because he didn't want to mess up the kids mental psyche! He has proven to be a pretty average kicker overall

Are you serious? 6 NFL years since then. There are a couple consistently better, but you don't get them when you cut a good kicker, you get horrible kickers.

 

[Froob]

I guarantee we'll see more of Bolden than Blount next week. Historically they've done stuff like that when evaluating two guys at a position.

Not sure Bequette is gone. If Cunningham can get like a billion seasons here I think Betquette gets two.

Cunningham showed promise, he almost sacked a few quarterbacks like 10 times. Beq hasn't even done that.

Why? If there's one thing you can practice well outside of a preseason game it's field goals. Better to work on 4th down situations.

Bill would have sent AV out there to kick the FG in that Super Bowl without a second thought.

Tebow's motion shows improvement, but he's still throwing as if he's talking to himself inside his helmet before throwing. He needs to reset his 'clock' to about 0.5 seconds faster.

I sure would like to see BB keep another TE/WR or RB than waste a spot on Tebow.

I agree, I said earlier he still has to work on his accuracy and decision making.

Timmy can play every one of those positions.

I agree based on game one. More games to come but odds are we're right.

It did at times, but he seems to revert to his old motion under pressure. And yes, someone needs to figure out a way to have him make quicker decisions...

 

[Ozymandias]

Don't you local all he draft experts on this board saying that Harmon was a terrible reach when they never saw him play?

To be fair, both Harmon and T. Wilson, at the time of being drafted, were over-drafted. That doesn't mean that they can never outperform that label because being a 'reach' on draft night is one thing, but what you do on the field is all that matters.

I can understand the thought process in drafting them but so far Wilson looks lost out there. Harmon may have a little bit of potential or not, as time will tell.

to try to simulate a late game comeback? If you kick the FG you can put some real pressure on your D to hold late.....

 

[fnordcircle]

Tebow looks like a guy who is struggling to grasp this offense.

He's thinking instead of knowing.

That plus his well-known accuracy issues have him looking awful. If he can't wrap his head around this offense better before 8/27 it's gonna be hard to imagine him sticking on.

The upside is I'd love to buy one of his jerseys for like $5 from the pro shop.

If I hear 'Tim Tebow and the Patriots' one more time, I'm going to lose my goddamn mind.
