The Official Patriots vs Lions Pre-Season Game Thread

[Big-T]

That was a nice pass.

 

[Mack Herron]

Another great catch by KT.

 

[DefenseRules]

Preseason games are meaningless but, when you start to see the same issues that plagued this team in all of their losses last season one has to wonder if they can make improvements in those areas, namely handling physical defenses that come out with the intent to punch the Patriots offense in the mouth.

The offense looks to finesse especially on the ground/offensive line.

EXACTLY. This what worries me.

 

[stcjones]

Blount is making this football team....

 

[sb1]

That's better Mallett.

 

[Rob0729]

Jones was outstanding tonight, just like he has been all preseason. You should take a look at the tape because he really has been excellent.

I thought Jones had a solid night. I think people feel if he isn't. Racking up 2-3 sacks a game, he is struggling.

Anyone here has any insider contact at the NFLN? I would like to petition to the league not to air a re-run of this game on NFLN.... absolutely embarrassing.

Mallett looked right at his man telegraphing the knock down

 

[Ozymandias]

Mallett needs to stop telegraphing his reads.

 

[Big-T]

KT with another good catch.

 

[DefenseRules]

Thompkins is a keeper.

 

[sb1]

Almost an easy pick 6

 

[Deus Irae]

Thompkins seems to be solidifying his claim to a starting job.

 

[Observer]

Kt has been the one bright spot on offense. Wow, that was awesome too.

I think you are overstating it. Mental errors especially by younger players have been the biggest problem. Players need to know how to protect the ball.

This is why I thought the person who posted a thread on how this would be a blowout (us blowing out the Lions) had his butt where his brain was supposed to be...

 

[Mack Herron]

Can we keep just 1 QB?

 

[patchick]

Mallett needs to stop telegraphing his reads.

Absolutely. On the bright side, though, just like last week he seems to be settling into his accuracy after an off-target first series.

 

[stcjones]

Kembrell thompkins is a PLAY-A!!!!!!!!

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

that field turf they have in there is horrible....let's go 'Bow!!!...I'm ****oo for Tebow Puffs!!!

hey...don't laugh...the Teebs could throw one of his off target lasers and hit Suh right in the nutsack...GO TIM!!!!

You got some funny stuff tonight there Joe K! Almost making this "game" bearable
