I brought the anthem into it because if they WERE kneeling for social injustice and this is their "compromise", I thought it was very cool. I brought the song playing as an afterthought because I liked their choice in song. Just like I brought up the new Buffalo props. Really it was more of a "oh and btw i like some of the new stuff" kind of thing ;).

I completely agree with you. Band of Brothers is the theme that sticks out to me for this year's team.

nah they don't have their Yoga Mats out

Just wanted to be perfectly clear on my stance so as not to cause a stir Honestly I brought it up because I thought it was cool and was looking for the meaning. Were they praying? If so, I'm a christian and find that to be VERY cool and if its been happening all along can't believe i missed it. If it's the new kneeling action for social injustice I also think it's super cool because I am a fan of the cause. Either way I was just looking for fun conversation with you guys and thought i finally had a fun post to put up

I've just been to a ton of games and somehow missed it before. I think its actually very cool.

First off, I took this photo last night ;). Second I just want to be very clear that if they were kneeling for social injustice OR praying. Either way I am cool with it and love it.

My brother and I just got season tickets last year and we went to every game I am surprised we never saw this. I think thats VERY cool.

So I have zero issues with players kneeling. At first I thought it was the new protest. However, they didn't all kneel and stand up together. Their heads are down as if they are praying. Just wondering if anything was said about this and whether this is the new "kneel" strategy or whether this is just the more spiritual players praying before the game. I had never seen this at all last year. I also thought it was super cool that they came out to Skillet's new song Legendary. Sweet song that is kid friendly despite being hard rock. Oh and also I loved the new Buffalo Bills props that were all synced up blowing out smoke as the player ran out. That was pretty cool too. Glad to see they didn't plan on just keeping the same old intro for a decade ;).

TL;DR; the rest of the comments. However, I would like to say that I HAVE been impressed by the Patriots starting defense. They ARE going to be good and they are going to need to be as the offense has been slowly unraveling over the last few years. They did the smart thing and heavily invested in their defense over the years as Brady declined so that as their offense starts stagnating they would have their Defense start dominating. I'm not saying that they are better than Buffalo, but you will probably be surprised at how good they are.

This is my sentiment for the most part. I want Josh Allen to be Josh Allen. I want to see him run less because he doesn't HAVE to run as much. I want him to run less because his O-line is giving him better protection and his play makers are getting open. In other words, I want him to run when he has to and I hope that will be less often. As for designed plays. I don't want them to go Cam Newton / Russell Wilson but I am a fan of the Run Pass Option and I think it keeps the defense on their toes. Forces them to keep a spy on the QB. Overall I think that Josh's scramble ability raises the level of the team. This first pre-season game I could see him holding on to the ball and throwing it away where last year he would have taken off with it. I am hoping this was just a pre-season thing and he will be back to scrambling when the play just isn't there.

YEah I was feeling the same way about this. Ed was pushing through and doing great.....not really his fault that the lineman sucked and that Allen didn't see it coming. Glad Allen is okay

yeah but they need more detail. What were the other 2 throws? How "in-stride" were they? What was the end result of the 11-on-11? I'm pretty impressed about the lack of reporting for the first day of mini camp. They all tweeted out the injuries and a couple of JA open-air throws and then just disappeared. Nevermind: How the drive ended Quick question: how do i add twitter posts the way you guys do

So, they got the the 4 yard line and what? A bunch of incomplete passes and out? Tried to run it in a few times and out? The play by play on the 11-on-11 for today's practice was REALLY weak by all the news outlets. Were the throws by JA on target and give the receiver a chance to get some extra yards? Were they on the ground but the WR's made some good plays? I mean....seriously almost NO detail about the 11-on-11 segment....the only part i care about. Instead we get a bunch of "Josh Allen can throw to John Brown when not under pressure and not covered...." GRRRR.

Well, then this article is just silly...but it seems that everyone has figured that out already

TO and Kelvin Benjamin mostly go here because they had high expectations and both just went at half speed. Sure, they made a decent catch here or there but they came in to be superstars and were barely functional journeyman.

So my only issue from this article comes from this segment: Seriously? Accuracy can't be fixed? So instead we should model an offense that has 0 short game? You will NEVER win games by just slinging it down field over and over. He suggests bringing a "madden team" in. Which he means "throw the deep ball over and over". I suggest that Madden is the only football he watches because all of this is idiocy. Accuracy CAN be worked on. Of course you want to build an offense around your QB's strengths but at the same time you need to continue to work on his weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Otherwise you end up with a one dimensional offense that anybody can defend against. Has anyone else seen articles about whether accuracy can be fixed or not? I mean.....do human beings get born with an accuracy gene that sets just how accurate they will be throwing the ball and there is just nothing to do to change that?

I wonder if it was an outer or inner labia injury

To be fair, I stopped liking our old OL coach when he was in a few of the videos last year. They probably shot hours of footage...cropped and edited it.....and he still came off as dumb as a pile of bricks. None of his sentences seemed to make any sense. Everything was just useless garbage coming out of his mouth. I don't know if maybe he was just a REALLY good hands on teacher but with the way our OL under performed so horribly last year I will guess not. Looking forward to this revamped line with a new OL coach. I really think its going to change EVERYTHING.

My brother and I were STH's for the first time last year. We went from 333 / 24 to 333 / 12. Baby steps....baby steps. Still 133 / 333 are in GREAT spots. Enjoy!

ya know the one thing i took away from this. Fitzpatrick looks like he puts his entire soul into all his hard throws....Allen can do the same level of throw with what looks like a flick of the wrist lol. So much ceiling..... Also, did you see the cheerleaders? I had forgotten about them.....how long have they been suing? We ever hear anything about them ever coming back or are we just going to get the ever expanding marching band?

I ignore everything but the performance column: Last Year: 1 above average / 4 average / 3 below average This year: 3 above average / 2 average / 4 below average IMO, the starters now look like 3 above average and 2 average players and 0 below average while last year we had 1 above average and 4 average players. In either case we had a bunch of below average depth....pretty typical. So, YES this looks like an upgrade to me. Sorry for not reading the 8 pages worth of comments....maybe this was already mentioned.

Honestly have 0 clue until regular season game 1. So many things can happen between now and then. Assuming we go in with what we have now...no draft etc.....you still have to take into account that you have 0 clue which players will take a step forward and which will take a step back. You can't even tell this stuff from pre-season since during the pre-season Peterman looked like a star and Robert Foster looked like the worst WR we had seen in years. TL;DR; Not enough questions answered to even possibly begin to give an educated guess 19-0
