This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.
At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.
Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.
This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.
If you do you will have your account suspended.
I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.
We have 3 WRs who have ever accomplished anything in this offense. Of those, 2 are tough smurfs with the medical history that results from that, and 1 is starting out the season hurt.
So there may be plenty of times when the 22 is the best talent, matchups even aside ...
Yup. I don't think you can ask much more of a developmental QB at the start of his second season. His patience and arm placement was Brady-esque to get that final first down on that screen and twice now he's gone into the game behind and come out with a W. That's probably more than I was expecting.
Yes he's gone up against 2s and 3s, but then he hasn't had Gronk, Edelman or Chandler to throw too.
I haven't watched the game couldn't get a streaming feed. I will watch at Midnight on a rerun DirecTV the NFL channel. I look forward to viewing as you have. I know the Pats won 17-16. Pre season has so many variables it is difficult to appreciate an individual player except kicker, and punter. BB looks for so much more than we do.

Absolutely, but if you look for traits rather than results then I think you can get a decent read on how someone is doing. What we'll struggle to know with Garoppolo is how he's doing mentally in terms of understanding the defended he sees in front of him when he comes to the line.
Play of the . . . post game: Brady, after sharing long post-game chats with Rodgers and Brees, leaves the field with nothing for Newton. I love it. Dude's been a chump to me since I saw the video and it appears Brady shares the sentiment. Brady is primed to destroy the league if things go according to plan. F*ck 'em all!
Defense was able to get some pressure on the QB tonight which is a positive sign--Flowers and Rufus Johnson (strong PS candidate) flashed well but need some work on finishing the play. The addition of Sheard is going to be key over the course of a long season as Jones & Ninko will be able to get some rest. Thought the DBs had a strong night and it was good to see Swanson (another PS candidate) make some plays.
Offensively, Dion Lewis with another strong performance and Jimmy G settled down after a rough start; he seems to have the knack for bringing the team down the field in key situations and then finishing the drive-something we haven't seen from our backup QB in the few years before he got here. OL needs some work, but that's to be expected there-they'll certainly start to solidify once Stork & Wendell come back and Jackson & Mason get more experience. Chandler had a nice game; it'll be great to see him paired with Gronk especially in the red zone.
He's been competent (not outstanding) in a variety of RB capacities, so I wouldn't rule it out.
However, if Bolden was used in a Patrick Pass capacity, I'd expect some guy from another position to get a few reps as the true jumbo FB. We've had an ILB (Seau), an OG (Connolly), TEs (I forget which) and DL (Seymour, Klecko, perhaps more). Almost anybody big enough is a possibility.
