The Official Patriots vs Lions Pre-Season Game Thread

That was such a horrible display of tackling that there should have been Benny Hill music playing while the play was run.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

embarrassing? Sigh!

 

[juny]

safe to say bequette is gone?

Fletcher whom I like is terrible tonight

BB may cut down to 50 by tomorrow morning

I used to like Fletcher, but he hasn't looked the same since the injury, and he's been very silent in preseason play. I think he might be a surprise cut.

 

[Big-T]

that's dobson's biggest knock - can't get separation.

He had plenty of separation in the first half.

 

[Brady6]

Thompkins is easily the furthest along of the three new WR's....I can see Brady bonding with Amen and Thompkins in this offense....I think the other two have a lot to learn about how to get open in this league

Agreed; I think Dobson and Boyce will both make some big plays in 2013 but do not expect them to have consistent stat lines game to game, I could envision one of them having a 6-8 reception for 100-150 yard game and then following that up the next week with zeros.

Adrian Wilson and Collins stinking it up... not that it matters

Yes....the Bequette is cooked.......

I've seen enough. Later fellas...

He had plenty of separation in the first half.

Not really. He tends to have very inconsistent seperation. One play he's fine and he showcases his athleticism, the next he's completely covered for large stretches of time. In the first half, he made multiple grabs where he was covered with no space (hence no YAC)

He has a tendency to get jammed, and he telegraphs his routes somewhat. It's really typical rookie play. He's not there yet, and will probably take a season or two to develop.

The flipside is that he really does have tremendous leaping ability, and great hands.

Anthony White is way down on the depth chart, but he keeps catching my eye.

 

[DefenseRules]

Thankfully it's the 4th quarter

 

[Claremonster]

So far, this has been a chit sammich...

 

[Brady6]

safe to say bequette is gone?

I think he will go to the practice squad, I don’t think he will be claimed on waivers and he has the eligibility.

 

[stcjones]

I know.....BUT it's like a bad car crash or 2 fat ladies fighting over a triple D bra at Walmart....you just can't look away!!!!

I've seen enough. Later fellas...

 

[Ozymandias]

Too easy. Secondary making Kellen Moore look like Drew Brees.

 

[Big-T]

Can hear the stampeding media predicting the Patriots demise now

 

[sb1]
