The Official Patriots vs Lions Pre-Season Game Thread

[DefenseRules]

I have seen enough of Marquis Cole.

 

[BradyFTW!]

BB just gave away the 2nd half strategy!

Gonna take it "One play at a time!"

Yeah, but Belichick is a damn idiot and we all know it. If he was smart he'd take it three, maybe even four plays at a time.

 

[Ozymandias]

This tackling is an abomination.

 

[Mack Herron]

Not seeing much from A Wilson in pre-season. Or any other safety. My kingdom for Rodney and a time machine.

 

[Big-T]

So Bell is the best back in the league...right?

Some awful tackling so far here.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Not sure what the point of that delayed blitz was. There was no chance in hell the blitzer was going to get to the QB.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

It's called tackling :bricks:

 

[juny]

nobody on the backup D seems to want to win a job

 

[DefenseRules]

This could get ugly...

It has been ugly all evening. Not a good night.

 

[BadMoFo]

Not too impressed with Collins yet.

Might have something to do with 9 years losing the last game of the year....but I'll leave that to you. But hey....lots of regular season wins are fun...right. Why change that formula....right?

Didn't they win their final game in '08?

First, way to generalize why the Pats have lost in the playoffs. There were more that went into losses in the playoffs from everything from injuries to key players, dropped passes, lucky catches, etc. For example, the Jets beat the Pats in the playoffs due to great coverage, not their D line. In fact, their sacks in that game were all coverage sacks.

In case someone has missed it, i post it one last time.

There's a live, legal stream of the game here:

heh...has he even played?

 

[dannydyn]

2nd team on the field...

 

[Sfpat]

No excuse to give up a TD pass from Kellen Moore

 

[Big-T]

With the new rules Fauria should have been flagged for that premature celebration?

Terrible defense too.

 

[DefenseRules]

Wow, I hope our back up offense can score like that. I have my doubts. Not our night.

 

[Ozymandias]

Patriots defense in midseason form.

 

[sb1]

That was easy.
