Game Day Thread PRESEASON GAME DAY THREAD: Patriots vs. Packers 8/13

[Ross12]

Get Harper going... I think he can be good.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Go Harper!

 

[BradyFTW!]

That slick fake by Jimmy G was his best play so far tonight.

 

[Tony2046]

Nice deception. Watch out Harbawk.

 

[anditsgood]

Seen by whom? His camp has been way better than last year by all reports. Do you remember last year? Until the Skins game people were stunned how bad he looked in practice.

Really, the reports ive seen says hes been bad

[JPsPats]

Harper looks reliable.

 

[jays52]

Grop has settled down a bit and is going through his progressions now. Looked a safety away a couple of times. Hitch step, ball out. It's not all bad.

 

[ViperGTS]

That slick fake by Jimmy G was his best play so far tonight.

We've already made the "slick fake" play illegal as of 6:28 PM. Only applies to a QB playing for New England.

Garoppolo now throwing to players not named Josh Boyce. Completions to Chris Harper and Jonathan Krause on this drive.

Harper>Boyce

 

[Whitt25]

Gotta love how even 4th-string WRs are doing better than Boyce.

 

[Concussion Protocol]

Really, the reports ive seen says hes been bad

He's been holding the ball too long in some drills, but his numbers in 7x7s and 11x11s have been good. He was lost last year.

 

[Ross12]

IMO, Boyce won't make the team. His skill set overlaps with Edelman and Amendola too much, and he would have to really excel to make a case for himself, but he truly hasn't so far. If they're gonna keep an extra couple WRs after Edelman, LaFell and Amendola, they should be guys who bring something different, i.e. Gibson, Dobson, Tyms, Harper. Even if they don't look great yet, at least they have the potential to add a different element.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

His head switched to run mode, keep looking down the field

 

[Sfpat]

Not for nothing, but on the int, that was classic interference on the DB, shoulda been called.

Pats won't be getting any calls this year. It will have to be extremely blatant before anything is called to favor the Pats

 

[DefenseRules]

Good drive so far

 

[sb1]

Ugh Jimmy just gave up on that

 

[manxman2601]

Yo Manx, what did you think of Mason and Jackson tonight? I was pretty impressed with the rookie class as a whole.

I'm only watching in parts so can't really say and will watch fully later. Saw that Mason helped break Gray free on the TD which was nice. You?

Has Tyms played? Don't recall seeing him.
