The official Patriots vs Lions's pre-season game thread

Reason he was a udfa

Wow. BB is gonna whip some ass for that drive after this game. The diagnosis on the screen came about 4 seconds too late and the coverage throughout was heinous.

 

[SaCaCh]

Said it last week and will say it again this week. Preseason means nothing. Never has and never will.

 

[DefenseRules]

I guess our guys didn't show up today.

 

[juny]

pressure on defense is gone from last week

 

[Marqui]

Season over.

 

[Jangles]

Lot of humble pie to eat next week

Probably for the best

Way too much hype around this team. It would be impossible for them to not get wrapped up in some of it.

One good drive on offense will change the scene

to me it looked like an overpursuit of the fake reverse

 

[Sciz]

The Pats are missing 6 defensive starters out there, and it shows.

 

[ALP]

if playing the 3-4 is some BB tactic to not show other teams too much, its a stupid idea tonight, b/c the lions are attacking it w/ screens and pass plays that are designed to beat an aggresive 4-3, and it would be a real good learning experience for the defense


now w/ the useless 3-4 being used, its pointless, this game will show us nothing whatsoever

 

[PatsBoy12]

didnt we watch this same game last thanksgiving

It sure looks like it. Were it not for the fact they wore the red jerseys that game, I'd say it was a rerun.lol

Personally, I could care less. No injuries = Pats win.

How long until people realize this isn't our starting defense?

Arrington, Sander, Butler, Ninko all out there

 

[BradyToAmendola]

Friend of mine claims the Pats "always do poorly" on away night games. Wonder if there's any truth to that.

Except for that Monday nighter in Miami last year...and that night game in Pittsburgh last year

 

[stcjones]

Let's hope this is belichicks usual VANILLA BS towards end of preseason....

 

[Rob0729]

I'm not going to get too upset with the Pats playing a vanilla 3-4 with their fourth DE, third string ILB, and other backnups, but I am disappointed with the lack of fire.

Do you really wonder that? If so just look at their performances against Miami, and Pittsburgh last season.

 

[gmtaxi27]

It still baffles me to no end how our corners never seem to look back on the ball. Who the hell is coaching them. Its frustrating beyong belief. Its not just tonight, its been like this for years.

With that said, an ass whoping wouldn't be the worst thing that happened to us.

Ninko isn't a starter?

 

[shmessy]

12 yd and 14 yd KO returns?

Buh bye Brandon.
