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

[juny]

Offensive line is no bueneo

yup...unlike the D, thats our starting 5 getting mauled in the first qtr.

 

[crowell33]

I really really really really really really want Brady out of this game ASAP!

Mallett time.

 

[ausbacker]

Players on the bubble, different groupings etc.

It would seem so. That said, the offensive line performance has been nothing short of diabolical thus far.

 

[DefenseRules]

Brady can't even plant his feet before the rush gets to him

this sucks

The ENTIRE O-Line is getting their collective arses kicked.

 

[Banjo]

I don't care that it's preseason. there is no excuse for such bad play from the O-line

 

[BendButDontBreak37]

Brady can't even plant his feet before the rush gets to him

this sucks

Yeah so much for how great the Pats look. Look who came back to Earth. Maybe they're worried about their families and homes in the hurricane back home.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

If the preseason game threads are doom and gloom,I would hate to see a less than perfect game in here in the regular season...,get a grip

With that being said, 3 words.....Mallett second half

 

[HowardRoark]

At least the OL is sucking against one of the best DL's in the league.

 

[juny]

o-line performance reminds me of SB42.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

Are we done screwing around now?

...seriously...there is much work left to be done. Either we start brining some intensity or just go ahead and start pulling our starters....getting dangerous out there...

 

[Jangles]

The ENTIRE O-Line is getting their collective arses kicked.

Who do you think could touch brady faster

Suh, or BJGE?

I say Suh

 

[lamafist]

Greg Bedard is guessing (on twitter) that the Pats'll be trying Solder at RG this week in practice.

 

[shmessy]

At this point, I say if you catch the ball at any point inside the end zone, take a knee. I think a lot of teams will start inside the 15 when they return.

So, then, what is Tate good for if that new NFL rule is in?

What value does he have to the Patriots, given the roster?

 

[stcjones]

Vollmer playing like dog sh*t...pats OL still a concern...if they can't protect Brady against a good D....pats are in trouble.....jags and Bucs did not have this kind of personnel and FIRE like lions do...and vander boesch isnt even in there thank gawd

 

[Joker]

the O line is being pushed BACK way too much...then again, with JAGS like Ohrnberger starting series, I don't know what to expect differently

 

[DefenseRules]

Our guys take some bad angles on some of these tackles.

McCourty's head is not in the game at all tonight.

 

[PatsBoy12]

McCourty has not been sharp tonight. He looks more like a rookie in this game than he did his rookie season.

 

[PatsWSB47]

our mid season form has gone to pre-season mistakes

 

[condon84]

So BB is playing vanilla and risking Brady getting nailed out there?

And if BB is evaluating talent, wouldn't he evaluate them on plays he's gonna utilize in the regular season?

Our guys are getting their butts kicked. Plain and simple

 

[crowell33]

Why is Butler wearing #32 tonight ?
