Patriots Pregame Thread 2025 Raiders @ Patriots - Early thoughts

[Thunderhead]

He already did. It’s called being a rookie.

You draft an offensive lineman 4OA they better be a legit starter from day one.

I'm surprised by Wallace. Going with 8 OL out the gate, with Campbell's ankle, and old man Moses who hasn't played a real snap in a year?
And no Gregory, but Durden is active after just getting signed??

I’m taking this as a sign Cambell’s ankle is perfectly fine. With no call ups from the PS and few OL, it has to be a good indication!

Exactly as I thought.
I said Chism's time will come...just not yet (and I really like him).

 

[Patjew]

Pretty amazing about Diggs considering where he was just several months ago.

The first rule about Durden being active is you don’t talk about Durden being active

I thought Hollins wasn't/shouldn't be playing.... at least that's what some here say...fkn twins...
Vrabel and McD are obviously idiots.

 

[Uptown]

It’s be much worse if the Raiders had a dominant interior lineman…

The season is finally here, an actual game to prepare for. I see the pats handily beating the raidahs

Agreed. Josh McDaniels and Doug Marrone - two former head coaches and lifers at their respective roles on Mike Vrabel's staff. Just think what might have been has BB had these two guys in 2023 instead of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge screwing up Mack Jones.

I see the offense looking crisp, fairly simple in Game 1, and leaning heavily on the backfield and tight ends while the line finds its rhythm. Smash mouth football going straight at Max Crosby all day with a little Drake Maye mixed in. My line for Maye is 14/21 with a fumble and Shaughnessy calling for him to be traded.

Pats 28 - Vegas 24.

Patricia's offense(while offensive) was better than the one after it with All-Star BOB.
Mac Jones sucked, no one ruined that boy.
