this is fun.

Hope KT can be a reliable receiver for the rest of Brady's career, don't know if he can be spectacular but that would be an amazing story if he can have a good career.

he prob should have played more last year to be fair good player

Son Of A Vidic

Nice to see Tommy Kelly back and making the play. Hopefully he can stay healthy for the year also.

And Brady is done. He looked sharp.

theres been two or three of those hands to the face penalties on the defense i thought that was ok once you where not slapping the helmet ala decon jones

terrible tackling though needs work

Flags are ruining this game. I'm all for the rules but its getting ridiculous. This crap that players will learn not too foul with this amount of fouls is nonsense. It wont stop it and we will most likely see these flags thrown all over the place. Nonsense by the NFL.

Ha id rather he didn't even attempt the tackle.

Son Of A Vidic

Good stuff from our rookie QB there.

pick 6 eagles terrible tackling by the pats offence

edit:first tackle was brady to be fair so you wouldn't expect him to be drilling someone

To be fair 99.9999% of offensive players in the NFL can't tackle. Defenses barely do any tackling drills these days due to the NFLPA nevermind an offensive guy doing any

I was just going to say that. I don't want him anywhere near a tackle. A bad contact and he could lose another season.

wow huge hit there

Son Of A Vidic

Nink being Nink, absolutely love the guy.

Us Pats fans know his quality and appreciate it. But the mainstream NFL media haven't a clue.

Belichick called Ninkovich that after we played the jets a couple of years ago.

I'm starting to get way too optimistic about Garoppolo.

he looks like he has a lot of poise but to be fair our defence is playing terrible lots of wide open receivers

Ridley doing himself no favours. Same thing happened last week as well?

Son Of A Vidic

Did Ridley just fumble?

Nice pass Jimmy.

very very nice pass there

Dear me, one minute he looks goods, the next minute you can't trust him. I fear for his future.

Lovely play from our rookie Jimmy G so far. I'm really, really liking this kid. I've seen more from him in two preseason games, than I've seen from Mallet in 3 years.

I don't as all of our rookies bar White have fumbled. Bolden certainly isn't going to take Ridleys spot either.

The thought of Bolden taking the lead snaps before Ridley wouldn't even cross my mind. But I think Ridley has a lot to prove to earn a new contract. Consecutive fumbles in preseason is not a good start. Especially for a guy expected to be our main workhorse RB.

Speaking of Fumble I forgot Butt Fumble plays for the Eagles.

If anyone will get the best out of a QB Chip Kelly definitely will. Man knows how to get the most out of a QB whether they are good or bad.

Son Of A Vidic

Mallett runs it in and funnily enough, I wasn't confident he was going to pass it in.

to be honest i don't think but fumble will ever be a superstar or anything but i do think he's a good qb i think it was a bad situation at the jets most abs would have failed. the but fumble and the fact it was in nyc just emphasised it

Masked Man

don't think I've ever noticed a female ref before.

+1. It was ridiculous in the Bears-Jags game on Thursday....21 penalties called, and they were just the accepted ones. Guys are playing for jobs and it’s messing games up. There was one offensive series with Jimmy Clausen, who's in a backup QB battle, and they threw flags on four consecutive plays, killing the drive.

They should ref in preseason like the expect to in the regular season. This idea of overdoing it, with the intention of scaling it back makes no sense.

Think was 300 yards of penalties in the titans saints game

Just watched the condensed version of the eagles game from last night and this crap with all the flags needs to stop.

You should have seen the live game, the amount of penalties last night was completely farcical.

I understand that the rule is you can't touch a player beyond five yards on the LOS. I know it was brought in because mel Blount was mugging recievers on the field.

Also from the eagles game a plus for me as an eagles fan is zach ertz. This kid is going to be a big time player in this league.

Ertz played great so did celek to be fair were very healthy at tight end

Also beau Allen and vinny curry are winning preseason

Yeah say that as well. Surely SOMEONE noticed what it says before the game started. It's just when teams are in the redzone isn't it ?

Yup. It was a car company (Hyundai or Toyota, I forget which) for Week 1, but it got such bad publicity that they withdrew their advertising.

Yep was just a red zone advertisement

double GG

Very impressive first drive from the Packers

Paully D

108 yard kick off return from Deonte Thompson of the Ravens @ Dallas.

Ravens have scored 14 points without their offense seeing the field, and the Cowboys have conceded 14 without their defense seeing the field. :pac:

padraig_f

Andy Dalton looking good against the Jets. Might get a boost from his new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson. Never convinced by Jay Gruden.

irishbucsfan

I've never seen an interior defensive lineman dominate in pre-season like Gerald McCoy. He's been ridiculous in this game. Hopefully he's still this far ahead of everyone else by the time the regular season is here.

johnmcdnl

Clowney looking good for Texans. Huge hit on RB followed up by a sack.

Can't ask for much more in a series than that.
