Woooo HOO!
If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.

As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about. --Shaun of the Dead

Maroney had a cutback there
Wonder if they’ve been harping at him to run into the hole

Absolutely crap call and the linesman was right f'ing there.
IF this is the quality of officiating we have to look forward to, I’m not optimistic for the season.

before the preseason ends…

You can tell that he is not that upset over the preseason rcord

Wasn't Hanson, like, the least used guy in 2007?

I think this one’s in the books.

great draft class this year...or it looks that way at least
unlike last years…we only have two left, mike richardson and brandon meriweather. 3 if you count UDFA Gutz
Keep the faith!
Hanson made a few mental errors last 2 games. Maybe checking him out?

Naw.
There’s really just not much to say. I can’t decide if there’s a method here, and we’re playing pretty vanilla and evaluating packages; or the guys who are in there are just not very good; or the guys who are in there are just trying to make it through the game without getting hurt; or we’re actually going to be terrible this year; or some combination of the above.

BB seems pretty placid,
but I’m not sure if he’s trying to keep an even keel on behalf of his team. When they’re playing well, he’s all over their ass.

i know it is preseason...but how about a little love for the fans?
hard to watch that touchdown replay and not see the top effort to stop him.

Always a good idea
to stand around with your arms in the air when your defender intercepts a pass and the whistle hasn’t blown. Then to get jacked by the other guy, cause you’re standing around like a dope.
Might be your last day as a Patriot, Stupar.

When he left, did you say
“You don’t know how good you kids have it these days! Why, in my day, we had to walk up hill both ways in the snow just to see a game—if we were lucky! I myself used to have to stand on our roof in the middle of blizzards with the antenna in my hands while my dad yelled, ‘EAST! No — EAST! Or no dinner until halftime!’ And then we’d lose! Every day!”

And another bullshit,
hands-in-the-air, where’s-the-penalty move by a patriots receiver.
Get off your ass and make a tackle. Then complain.
Chad is deep in my doghouse. He runs lazy, undisciplined routes and generally acts like he’s owed a slot, while guys like CJ Jones work their asses off every second on the field.

i know...thought he'd play more
but i guess part of that was the team’s own fault I guess for not keeping the pats offense on the field long enough
Keep the faith!
Just noticed the time
Have to go pick up son #2 from work. I’ll have to listen to the end on the radio. Take care all and have a good night. The real deal will be here soon enough. : )
