The Official Patriots vs Lions Pre-Season Game Thread

Also looked like we struck out again in drafting a safety.

 

[Brady6]

I'd add the O-Line to that (all units).

Svitek as a guard is DOWN..

 

[sb1]

I'd hate to think Washington is in jeopardy, I think he could add a lot to special teams... but not impressed tonight at all...

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Belichick isn't going to have much problem in the cutting room.


"Now it's time for the easiest part of any coach's job. The cuts."

Kellen Moore's not that bad, he just has a super noodle arm. His decision making and accuracy are way ahead of Bledsoe Jr.

Bledsoe Jr.

heh heh

heh heh heh heh...

I'd add the O-Line to that (all units).

Thought of that, but then I'd have to add everyone who missed a tackle too and there wasn't enough space.

Anybody else worried about Dobson? I know it's still early but Brady seems to trust Thompkins significantly more, and for good reason. Dobson still seems to struggle getting separation. He rarely targets Dobson.

 

[sb1]

Damn... Mallett can't do anything tonight

 

[stcjones]

wow mallett......wow

 

[Ozymandias]

Special teams looks awful.

 

[Hael]

Svitek as a guard is DOWN..

Svitek is a 2nd string guy going up against Suh and Farley. Not exactly a fair battle.

Sad to see Dlinemen roughing up Brady and no retaliation from our Dline against their QB. Even shoving him around after the whistle and pointing in his face. WTF? BB has gone soft.

I remember not too long ago in a preseason game when Rodney Harrison knocked the hell out of Vince Young as retaliation for a hit they made on Brady.

LOL, Detroit will probably not even look this good one time during the season after tonight. You get no trophies in the preseason.

 

[nowayback]

Another bad season, last time the lions destroyed us in preseason we lost to the giants in the superbowl.....

The Lions came to play, Pats didnt...BB loves games like this in preseason. Pats will be remiinded of this game all year

 

[varjao]

Don't need to work with a full roster after tonight, let the cuts begin

 

[Joker]

wow mallett......wow

If Mallett thought he had some separation in the battle for #2, he just threw up all over it tonight...guess they're gonna save the Teebs until next week....I hope they give him a few quarters running the offense they've been working him into.

That bothered me too. This team needs some toughness and nastiness. I don't see any.

Only have one thing to say about this game. If the 3rd exhibition game is supposed to show who we are come regular season, we are ****ed. So glad I didn't get to see this game.

Did you forget about the 3rd game of preseason 2 years ago?

He should have been ready to catch that goal line ball. Make that defender incur a penalty. He's a big guy, leaps and has hands. He has to learn to use his body, he's not going to be wide open in the NFL and doesn't need to be. He only needs to be between the ball and defender on that play.

mallett misses way too many easy short throws to be a dependable starter
