Game Day Thread 2025 Patriots Game Day Thread Week 1 Patriots v Raiders

[Drunken Cicerone]

Wow they just got torched by the Raiders. Only thing that stopped them was a penalty and a bad pass, everything else sliced this D up

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Embarrassing.

We are on for a blowout

 

[thecore762]

Terrible call. That blitz was picked up and we got burned.

 

[Real fan 02]

Note Chaisson instead of White.

Mistakes on STs allowed them the yards and coverage on defense. Let's see if they adjust..

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Hawkins is not a starting safety. We have no pass rush.

First series anyway.

We’ll see if they can adjust or if the defense will just be bad

 

[festy1986]

Interesting strategy

 

[upstater1]

So, the defense is stack 8 guys in the box, leave one safety back? And make sure that safety is slow?

 

[denverpatsfan]

Chip Kelly and Pete Carrol making a big splash here.
Gonna be another slow start to the season.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

All alone.

Very bad first drive.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Hawkins blew it big time. The release of Peppers looms overhead.

Peppers would have got burned too

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Basically every fear we had about this d on full display on that drive, ugh

 

[italian pat patriot]

Not the beginning i expected...

I’ll give them more drives, script drives are script drives.

But that’s not a good start. Hope the offense shows life today.

 

[Thunderhead]

So many on here completely dismissed the Pats releasing one of their best players (Peppers), which is NOT TO SAY HE IS ALL PRO. This roster is too short on talent for a move like that. Well well well

 

[stelfans]

Err not the start you’re looking for, jeezus that was bad.

 

[Kdo5]

Pats looked like hot garbage there. Pass rush was ass.

 

[PYPER]

That was disappointing.....

 

[Betterthanmost]

NCAAF level separation.

 

[upstater1]

Hawkins blew it big time. The release of Peppers looms overhead.

Hawkins looked awful there... BUT... we put 8 guys in the box and left a safety in the middle by himself one on one with a WR running a simple route. Hawkins was shallow too.

I put that one on the defensive coaches.

Well it depends

It depends on your expectations for the team this year and what you want out of it.
