Official Post Game Thread - Patriots Beat The Lions

[captain insano]

Patriots have some good young players. stidham looked excellent. The WRs looked better than advertised. i like it,

 

[Ian]

Nice start with plenty to talk about. Hard not to walk away from this one feeling pretty good about the upcoming season, pending some injury news after seeing LaCosse get hurt, etc.

 

[BobDigital]

I'm officially on the trade Dawson train. Time to try to recoup what they can. Maybe get a 5th?

Good stuff. It’s only preseason game 1, but it’s nice to see positive reports from practice translate to on the field success in the case of Meyers and several others. We’re on to Tennessee.

Harry looked great, myers looked great, barrios played great, stidham played very well. So didcollins, wino, rivers etc. very good start to the season. One thing i noticed about stidham was that he seems to have to wind up or **** the ball behind his head , unlike brady who is much smoother, he doesn't seem to have to do what stidham does to get the same velocity. that being said he throw the ball really well, right on the button most of the time. So brady is quicker in releasing the ball. For his first game he showed a lot of poise under pressure.

If Duke Johnson only gets a 4th I have no idea how we'd get a 5th for DD.

Huge if here. Huge.

IF Stidham turns out to be good, you guys on the side of:

2019: Brady, Hoyer, Stidham.
2020: Brady, Stidham
2021: Stidham becomes our qb

Again, big if and I want to ride Brady two more seasons.

I'll take more of this, please.

They should have had more sacks in the second half.

 

[Clonamery]

They should have had more sacks in the second half.

Agree. It was Duke Dawson’s fault.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

They should have had more sacks in the second half.

Time to get in game day thread form?

Wow. Other than a cringeworthy opening song to open the broadcast, we looked damn good. I can’t think of anyone who played badly. Both Hoyer and Stidham looked sharp. Tough decision if we can only keep one. Young receivers looked good too, as did the linebackers. Great start to the year!

 

[Ladypatsfan]

Winovich sounds like a smart kid. Definately going to be one of my favorites.
He reminds me of Bruschi.

 

[Patjew]

Reminds me of the first preseason game of the 2011 season when the D suddenly felt much faster and more aggressive than the the year before. There were several posts about it.

I think this is a better D, though. Especially if Andre Carter doesn’t get hurt again.

Hey, it is training camp for us too!

 

[Uptown]

Cut everybody

Granted it was the first preseason game, but I was encouraged by what I saw both offensively/defensively (minus the penalties). Meyers is a stud & Jarrett Stud-arm’s future is bright. Lastly, this D will be top 3-5 this year.

Jets lost today too. Guess NY Jete are also training for the suck

Etling was out there looking like he's never played a down of receiver in his life.
