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

[tombonneau]

Good to see Mayo doesn't make picks in the preseason either.

You saw the defense blitz more than one player in their 4 DL set?

I never saw ONE time...maybe you could point out those SPECIFIC plays...I DID count as he made drops and he consistently had 4 count pass plays...he got hit a few times...but I haven't seen ONE defensive set that looked remotely like anything they showed in game two

Yeah, let me get my game sheets - i've been charting the plays....

Emotion has a lot to do with football.

Lions look like a young team with some talent and playing with fire in the belly.

I remember when our team looked like that.

 

[Banjo]

I hope this is like the Browns game last year where the Patriots got destroyed, but then got serious and dominated the rest of the season

Brady did have some flutterballs late
Volmer hit looked bad
Welker with a bad neck
Connelly....who cares

All in all a bad effort made worse by injuries
Wish the game had been in Foxboro and postponed indefinaltely :bricks:

Serious question from a Jets fan:

Why is Mayo still in the game?

Depth issues at the position this week

A white guy with dreds!

Your post AV combo is a work of art.

 

[Ununcle]

When all said and done this is probably a good thing. When we play them in the Superbowl we'll be coming in under the radar.

I don't mind losing in the preseason. It happens. There are so many guys running on and off the field, I'm not surprised that there is a lack of rhythm at times. But what I saw tonight was a total LACK OF EFFORT on both sides of the ball. That is what bothers me the most.

I think it was Last Week

I've got to say....


This is only exhibition game 3, but the game thread whining is already in mid-season form.

 

[Modest]

Defenders cant catch interceptions thrown right to them nor can they even lay on a proper shot to a QB when he gives them every opportunity. This is disgusting. I'd rather watch Brokeback Mountain.

Ding ding ding...great post. This is what has caused SO much of our problems in getting deep into playoffs and, making it back to the big dance. OL is not that good...and secondary is questionable at best. Going to be another tough year I'm afraid

Let's revisit this prediction during midseason.

Hopefully you are happy to take this back.

 

[Banjo]

I can't believe the Lions got that first down. are you serious??

 

[Kid~Brady]

The guy in the 85 jersey needs to learn how to catch.

 

[shmessy]

Didn't Tom Brady have a perfect passer rating vs the Lions last year?

You must have missed the first half of that ballgame.

Depth issues at the position this week

That's no excuse. The game doesn't matter. But I guess BB wants to see a few more important players get hurt tonight.

 

[RayClay]

Hopefully, Chad will perform some amusing stunt to take our minds off this.

What? You think the Lions are going to make it to the SB this year?...Really?

McCourty is getting killed. Wowza
