Pats vs Packers pre-game discussion

[BelizePats]

What coach decided to kick off to him? Oh yeah, Tuna.

The Tuna is a rat! Negoiating with The Jets the week before the Super Bowl? Absolute scum!

More like not using Curtis Martin in the second half of the game did that...

As did singling up Max Lane on Reggie White ffs.

Anytime anyone says 'Parcells belongs in the Patriots HoF', PLEASE remember that he was ok with this.

I quit my NFL Game pass (overseas version of NFL+) subscription this year as I was not using it enough.

It can be frustrating when the Pats are on during the night (as was surprisingly often last season) as I never watch overnight games. However, I still get good value as I really enjoy my NFL Sunday evenings from 6 till midnight. If the Pats are on Sky i.e. blocked on NFL Game Pass I just watch another game or Redzone. Don't watch any other NFL programming other than the draft. Still worth it though for 6 months of Live NFL action.

The least they could've used him - or Keith Byars - to do is help chip Reggie White...

Or Ben Coates, he was only like 275 lbs at that time.

Yeah, when the Pats are not on Sky then I watch Redzone as well.

I was at that game, laughed my ass off. He just ran out of gas.

Revisiting this, it appears Connolly was more concerned with protecting the ball than making it into the end zone. Had he scored it would've been historic.

Reggie White was not 275 in 1996. He always played between 290 and 300.

This’ll be my first time needing to use the YouTube TV location spoofing trick @PatsfanTN made me aware of. Interesting to see how it works for the duration of a whole game instead of just a few minutes of testing.

Reggie White was not 275 in 1996. He always played between 290 and 300.

Ben Coates was, He was listed at 240-something but he was much bigger.

Please explain what this is.

Sow probably starts at right tackle tonight! If he has a good game, I would feel better about our offensive offensive line

 

[RobertWeathers]

Ben Coates was, He was listed at 240-something but he was much bigger.

Ben Coats was nowhere near 275 either. 250 maybe.

Gronk was 260-265 and he was bigger than Coates.

Alge Crumpler was here in 2010 and was 270.

Without using a VPN?

 

[Ross12]

Please explain what this is.

Without using a VPN?

Yeah, without any VPN. I am just using Google Chrome on my MacBook. I use a Chrome extension to report a fake latitude/longitude to any website that asks for it (including YouTube TV). I set it to Boston. Then I navigate to YouTube TV’s page, go to settings and click “update” next to my current location and it sees I’m “in Boston” and asks if I’m traveling or have moved permanently. I just say I’m traveling and it then tells me it’s changing my local channels just on that device temporarily to Boston stations. Then I can see the game “locally” in full HD.

 

[mgcolby]

No, actually they're better.

No they're not. A controlled scrimmage has its value and so does a scrimmage game. But each bring something different and there is no substitute for real game conditions.

The starters should play tonight. I will be disappointed if we don't see them for at least a quarter.

I agree that the starters should at least play a couple of series, but based on all local reporting, sounds like it’s unlikely. Who knows, though.

I'll have to try that. I know the VPN thing doesn't work. They know your using one, atleast for TVs.

 

[TheBeers]

I don't understand why the locals have this short term memory loss. All they have to do is look at last year. Seems like they are playing according to D-bag Bedard, and I would expect them to go 2-3 series in this game and 1/2 in the 3rd game.

[PatsFanInVa]

so what do you officially need to watch this game?
