Game Day Thread PRESEASON GAME DAY THREAD: Patriots vs. Packers 8/13

[Concussion Protocol]

People throwing in the towel on Jimmy because of 2 bad throws to Josh Boyce in the first half of the first preseason game. Good stuff

 

[Ozymandias]

I think it's fair to say Garoppolo looked more impressive last preseason than he does now.

 

[Tony2046]

For the guy who asked why the Pats signed Gostkowski, there's your answer.

I was being sarcastic. hahahaha seriously. wtf.

 

[nowayback]

gamepass has Packers broadcast....did they win superbowl last year?
Are they winning today 38-0 ?

 

[JMC00]

Jimmy G looks horrible, hope Brady doesnt miss 1 down

Nice hyperbole. 70% of the people he is playing with probably won't see the field in a Pats uniform this season.

Irvin likes Jimmy so there's that

 

[JackBauer]

Easley has been exploding off the snap all night, he's got his burst back and is legitimately freakish in that regard. It has also been used against him at least once tonight, with GB running into the space he vacated. Worth it, though. He's going to blow up some pocket passers and destroy some slow-developing runs this year.

Between Easley, Brown, and Flowers you have some legit potential studs on the defensive line. And I think Sheard is gonna be sick.

I'd rather have ryan fitzpatrick than Jimmy G.

I think it's fair to say Garoppolo looked more impressive last preseason than he does now.

I honestly don't think it's just him though. The offense is depleted. Take a look at the injury list and inactive list. Most of the starters on Offense are not playing tonight. I think that when the offense is healthy, we will see what he can really do.

I'm seriously starting to wonder if there might be four better corners on our roster than Logan Ryan. Knee jerk reaction to tonight? Maybe. But he played poorly last year IMO as well.

Butler, Brown, McClain, and Roberts may all be better players than him.

 

[RayClay]

Vereen wasn't know for being a contact man.

I'm far more concerned with ability to pick up blitz.

You don't think the others can? I can't recall a 3rd down back who didn't learn to pick up the blitz. It's practice and study.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Israel prime minister looks like an older Saul Goodman.

 

[nowayback]

2 time JG threw long ball ...long....Boyce couldnt find it . ok 1 time ref was in way,,,but he seems to have hard time finding it . Good receiver makes throws look better .

That whole tribute to Kraft, paid by Kraft, and presented by Kraft is a bit embarrassing.

I think Butler and Fletcher are definitely better than Ryan. The rest remain to be seen.

"I keep, trying to block out Jonas Gray,
'Cause I need, my defense to please close out the game,
And at most, our special teams will make one last play,
But your Ghost, the Ghost of you, it kicks a 56-yard field goal and we lose, f***."

The two golden words...MALCOLM GO

This is the 1,000th time I (and others) have made this point, but Ryan to me looks like a safety more than a corner.

I'd rather have ryan fitzpatrick than Jimmy G.

I am reminded why I don't visit game threads too often.

I like the idea of creating a global wide farming system for new players though
