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

[randomk1]

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

Yeah great excuse....we've met a couple of great DL's in the playoffs these past years aswell.

WTF is up with McCourty tonight?

 

[Observer]

This has got nothing to do with vanilla friends, our team is overmatched at two critical positions. Our Oline is getting dominated by their Dline and our DBs are getting schooled by their wide receivers.

arrington doesnt look too good in the slot

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

I'm actually considering the possibility that Detroit is playing well.

 

[Danielbaron1]

Dam they're celebrating tds like if it was a superbowl.

 

[s3antana5757]

Get off my TV news. Yes, a storm is coming. Got it.

 

[Major **********]

Pathetic. BB should bench them just to send a message.

 

[JackBauer]

Arrington, a CB, getting torched by Sheffler, a #2 TE.

Ouch.

 

[The-Hooded-One]

Arrington left in the dust by a TE

 

[BlueThunder]

Butler and Arrington...UGHHH

 

[BradyToAmendola]

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

Vollmer? How about the entire OLine?

WTF is up with McCourty tonight?

that ball was underthrown by 25 yards. johnson picked the ball up first and was able to adjust. thats almost impossible to guard

 

[mr3putt]

Arrington making Wilhite look like an All Pro tonight
Time for the 3rd string

 

[DefenseRules]

No Pass Rush, No Tackling = TOUCH DOWN!! Hey these guys might score 50+ on us tonight. Congratulations Lions, you just won your preseason Super Bowl!!

 

[Synovia]

Pathetic. BB should bench them just to send a message.

Benching him isn't going to make him play any better. Arrington needs more playing time if hes going to get any better.

 

[RobAllan]

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

This. OL didn't show up. McCourty hasn't been showing up (not sure why-- was good last year).

Good news is, it doesn't count! (Bad news is, this looks a LOT like how we played last year against high pressure Ds and fast Os. Hopefully time to improve.)

 

[italia44]

yikes!....Arrington was talking to Butler,when they snapped the ball:bricks:

 

[lamafist]

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?

That's the question. He's a plus returner (to borrow an MLB term) but how much is that going to be worth, given the rule change.

 

[stcjones]

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

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

You are right....mccourty doesn't look like himself at all tonight. I wonder if he and Butler switched jerseys by mistake
