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

[Jangles]

He's out of rhythm because the OL forgot to play the first 1.5 qtrs. He needs to fix it, but I can't put that all on him-- he needs consistent protection.

He's Tom Brady

He should be able to adapt and roll with the punches. I'm not saying cut the guy, but he should be connecting on some of these.

 

[PatsWSB47]

Perhaps there aren't any excuses and we need to play better. Just a thought.

.......this

 

[juny]

this looks similar to the pats playoff losses...o-line needs to improve tons starting now

It's preseason.....just a though

 

[JackBauer]

My god this line is playing like ass. There have to be some vets on the FA market that could help us out.

Hooray for overreacting to a friggin' preseason game.

Glad to see some things never change on this board.

 

[Hart Lee Chung]

Put in Hoyer for the "win". Plain and simple.

 

[italia44]

They're killing us with that LB center stunt:bricks:

 

[Bronx Jet]

Get Brady out of the game! The OL is GARBAGE!

you said it

 

[Observer]

All lessons have been learned at this point. Now the team just simply looks overmatched and not in the same league. They should throw in the towel (second stringers) and go home. There is nothing more to be learned from this game; only thing that can come out of now is an injury or two.

 

[Banjo]

The Lions are doing their jobs. I have nothing against them. If they keep this up during the regular season, they might get the playoffs for once. Good for them

The Patriots on the other hand should stop acting complacent and do what they're being paid to do.

Right. Because pass protection hasn't been an issue the last several years.

 

[Mogamedogz]

If BB doesnt pull Brady there is no excuse for it. Put your ******* KING KONG sized ego away and ******* think rational FOR ONCE.

No reason in the world for TB to be in this game. This young Lions d is playing like it's the ******* SB.

 

[goz421]

Remember the Rams!!

 

[Patriots Nation NY]

did i just wilfork get dragged for 8 yards?

 

[Joker]

not much to say when the officials turn a blind eye to Suh THROWING a punch, HITTING an OL man and THEN pushing him...they call Mankins for a 15 yarder...maybe BB paid these refs to simulate the kind of game calling the Pats will see in INdy

 

[Big-T]

This crew are a joke, how was Suh not EJECTED nevermind not even flagged for throwing a punch at Mankins?

On top of that the team are playing like crap against a team who for some reason are playing like they're in the playoffs.

 

[PatsBoy12]

This is ridiculous! All this after the play crap is ridiculous. It would be one thing if they came to play, but when you are stinking up the joint you just go back to huddle.

I don't know if it's the Pats starting a lot of it.

 

[Danielbaron1]

suh is a dirty player period

Our defense needs to play dirty. They're punking us on offense and defense

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

I'm trying to figure out why people need to post this crap. Yes people know its preseason, yes it doesn't mater, no the skies not falling,, however the Lions are basically toying with us at this point. Both lines are getting punked. What,, are people not supposed to notice this?

And NE looked like crap half the games in preseason 2007 too

So they didn't come to play,we live to see another day....the thing to worry about is starters playing too long and getting exposed to possible injury.....period,end of story.

They've missed about 5 holding calls and blocks in the back. Good coverage there by #32.
