Not a great performance, but we're on to Week 1 and the Seahawks. #LetsGo

I thought the defense was playing ok until the pass interference by Vildor.

The Good

Matt Haack
Kyle Dixon
Kyle Williams TD (again)

The Bad

Everything else.

Preseason is a league problem at this point.

Maybe another for the good column.

I don’t want to see any of the third string defense on the final 53.
Horrible depth building by the front office.
Vrabel wasn’t kidding.
We may see 10 to 15 new faces on the final 53.

Wow, Reiss is freaking out.

Why do you act like its a new problem? Its been this way since BB was hear and It can't be fixed overnight. Depth is grown through good drafting and falling into the right FA. Vrabel and Wolf worked a miracle and fixed the roster very quickly in year one. They will fix the depth. It just takes time.

Forgot that Hudson got hurt tonight. Hope he’s ok.

 

[TommyD4207]

Lots of highlights showing the back of Charles Woods' jersey.

 

[manxman2601]

Aha. It makes sense now.

He came back in and played out the game.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I’ll feel better about the Boutelle trade if Kyle Williams keeps getting behind the defense like he did for the 2nd straight week.

 

[manxman2601]

Hmmm.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Considering how well he played the prior 2 games and what we’ve heard in camp, I was really disappointed with Prunty’s play tonight. He was flat out beaten a few times. Hopefully he’s able to take something from this experience.

For all the talk about lack of depth, weirdly for a Patriots team, WR is looking pretty good, even on the PS hopefully. DeGennaro and Kyle Dixon have both flashed. Decent developmental bodies for next season.

 

[manxman2601]

A less good game tonight, but a good pre-season overall.
