Small observation but McCourty has had a couple of blunders today...

That WR was diving for the ball anyways. Poor call.

McCourty got called for a Revis.

That's so annoying.

Adam Seward recovered the fumble?

If you think J-Ville was playing like a first team defense, we'll have to disagree.

The kid just put the ball on the ground, almost as if on cue.


People are just getting overexcited about a pair of exhibition games, that's all.

Agreed. Benny runs like he's wading through molasses. He's not long for this league.

NEP4Life is TROLL, if you didn't know. Every anti-Pat post he makes equals a very lonely little man.

No, Italia, but it's a bit early to be putting rookies into backup QB spots, the #1 RB spot, etc... and it's a bit early to be declaring this team to be better than 2007.



Time enough to focus on the economy the next time you go grocery shopping and realize the price of food is going through the roof.

Mallet has to learn how to lead his receivers a little better. I like what I see from the kid though.

Mallett responding well. Encouraging. Looks Bradyesque in the pocket...

(-) Mallett gets sacked.
(+) Mallett didn't go down easily.

Belichick's gotta be loving this game. Game film is going to be loaded with teaching moments, good and bad.

Not going down easy is stupid. I'd much rather see him drop like Tom or Peyton when he knows he isn't going anywhere. You get hurt by struggling.

1. I reserve the right to criticize any player I choose, on the Pats or any other team.
2. I hope patsfans.com is not one of those "homer-only" boards where nobody can be critical of the home team.
3. Let's not derail the thread by posting about me, ok? This thread is about the Patriots, and we're all Pats fans here.

Go Pats!

I understand that; my point is that had the defender not gotten more force on him, Mallett may well have broken free.

slater might actually be a good WR too, lol
