The Official Patriots vs Gaints Pre-Season Game Thread

[PatsSox363804]

The rare "jump off the couch and yell" pre season play. :rocker:

 

[TyronePoole]

Here's a big difference: Cassel was playing with an offense that was virtually unchanged from the previous year's which had been the greatest offense of all-time. Mallett would be playing with an offense with a ton of turnover where most of the receiving targets are rookies.

That's a point in Mallet's favor no? Unless you're just saying that Cassel was a total mirage. Even still Cassel looked like crap with that offense in preseason.

 

[VrabelJr]

Absolutely no point in keeping Bequette over Buchanan.

Solution: Keep both.

 

[Brady6]

Great plays by Buchanan, Washington, Mallet, and Boyce.

Washington is so special as a kick/punt returner, I really hope he does enough on offense to make the team, he gives us something in the kicking game we haven’t had since Brandon Tate the early addition.

Mallett....now see that?... a few series in...and he's locked

And scrubs slowly rotating in...

 

[VrabelJr]

Bequette and Buchanan are both playing great. I'd be willing to bet that they've played Cunningham off the roster tonight. I hated the Bequette pick more than anyone, probably, but he's really showing something tonight.

Bequette has been playing well all pre-season. Most people on here only read what they see on the forum and not what's on their TV screen for some reason...

Mallett gets way too much crap - he's a pretty good quarterback and would be even better with more first team reps. Better than several starters right now.

Solution: Keep both.

With Beq on practice squad?

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

how often do the pats change TD songs? are we close to dumping this crap one!?!?


Why is roach talking about the O when D is in the replay footage?

 

[DefenseRules]

Lord the special teams coverage is killing me.

 

[The_Riddler]

Where's all the Mallett bashers now? Kid can play, and he is the future.

 

[Ozymandias]

Buchanan is having a great game.

 

[chumpchange]

Great pass. For all the crap I'm giving Mallett, that's what I've been expecting since he was drafted. That ball comes out like it was shot from a howitzer, there's only a couple other guys in the NFL with an arm like that.

Also, I think Boyce is more ready than Dobson and wouldn't be surprised if he gets more playing time, at least early in the year.

That one was just a beauty all around. Great stuff!

 

[VrabelJr]

With Beq on practice squad?

We would have to cut him in order to put him on the practice squad. That isn't going to happen.

 

[DefenseRules]

defense is falling asleep.

He's not the future when his contract is up after next year. Even if they somehow came to acceptable terms and Mallett refused a chance to start somewhere else (which would never happen), Brady is signed through what would be Mallett's SECOND contract--so he's not going to be "the future."

Always liked him. I can see him fetching nice a trade next year.

 

[Ozymandias]

#83 on the Giants is a false start machine.

 

[Froob]

I wonder if Rasi got cut so they could get rid of him before he got injured again.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Josh Boyce: Is he something we can work with? I have not heard much about him from people who went to camp.
I am getting back to football after staying away for a while hence calling Thompkins Thompson.
