It was so pathetically obvious Brady has no chemistry what so ever with his new receivers the Pats are in some serious trouble.

At least I can admit my team will be lucky to go .500, your still drinking the kool aid Brady poured in your glasses back in 2001. Fact is hell I wonder this with half the "Patroits" fans I meet, were you a patriots fan before or after they won 4 titles. At least i can tout my team on my Jersey proudly if they ever win a Superbowl without anyone ever wondering that about me.

In 2011 the Lions beat the Patriots 34-10 in the dress rehearsal, and the Patriots ended up going 14-2 and making the Super Bowl. Both teams had several key players not playing and teams don't game plan like it's a real game so a poor preseason performance isn't too worrisome to me.

Fate im aware of what happened in 2011, my comment was directed solely at the person talking trash as his team is losing. Pre Season is a joke and I know the patriots do not really take it to seriously. But seeing the flaws in the team and refusing to believe they are there is a huge issue in regards to him being a "fan." The patriots in the past decade are the most successful team in the NFL, anyone refusing to admit that is delusional or retarded. I saw a major chemistry issue with Brady and his new corp, im sure you did to. It is going to take some time to work it out. Can they work it out sure, can it go the opposite way sure, truthfully it is something only the season can tell.

can’t wait to see Lacey 2nite!!

I can’t wait to see what Rodgers can do when there aren’t 2 safeties playing in the middle of the field all the time if we can get any semblance of a running game going!!!

our rookie LT has been looking really good and Barclay seems to be the favorite to take the RT spot!!

Patriots fan delusional? Say it aint so?

I only saw a bit of the game, but I'll have to agree the part I saw the Lion did commit some stupid mistakes. The biggest was the DE who got pressure on Brady, and then got in his face and wagged his finger earning a well deserved unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

My biggest question about the Lions is about Bush... I have one more keeper slot open in my FF league and have to choose between Bush and Sproles (it's a ppr league). It seems to me that Bush is a good fit in that offense, but how has he looked so far?

They look to him a lot, but that was the first game it clicked. Stafford has tried many times to check down to him

Not a surprise, you try to hit a player with their helmet, you're going to miss at least a game:

Texans DE Antonio Smith's expedited appeal of his one-game suspension was denied. The discipline was upheld.

It's actually 'Lacy'... might wanna know how to spell your favorite team's player's names.

Lacy ran like a freight train last week! I normally don't anticipate preseason games, but I can't wait to see him in action tonight. Obviously he had a point to prove last week, but hope he can keep it up and stay healthy. It'd be nice to finally get a good running game going to mix things up.

We have a run game?!

we have the key components to a run game.....it'll depend on how healthy Lacy can stay.....if Franklin can contribute that'll only help!! if we could get 1000 yards out of the 2 of them that would be huge!!

of course the key variable here is the O-line. w/2 young guys @ Tackle (i'm assuming Barclay is going to beat out Newhouse)......it's not a for sure thing by any means.

but it's the closest thing we've had to a running game in a loooooong time!!

Moving, finding work, dealing with a BS landlord, moving again and dealing with my brother having a heart attack among other things. Tonight will be my first time since the playoff game I've seen the Pack in action.

Lets kick some Seaduck butt

Reggie Bush is good..but just an injury waiting to happen IMO


And i didn't know my comment last night would have sent you into a tantrum...i wouldn't have said anything. But when you see idiotic penalties like that so close together..it speaks a lot about the organization/coaching ect in my eyes. That's all.

The way I look at it the fail-mary coulda' happened in the Super Bowl sooooo every NFL team owes us one free Touchdown

Joe Flacco respects Ray Lewis's speeches. It's just that he didn't understand 90% of what he was saying.

The Pats lost 40-9 and Tebow still didn't take a snap against Detroit. That should tell you something.

Either he's about to be cut or they have a whole different plan for him they don't want to reveal until Week 1. I'm thinking it's the former.
