MattM Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Looks like the Cheats* are having a rough night in Mo-Town. It's 13-3 Lions, but should be worse considering they've fumbled 3 times and Brady's been picked once and sacked twice. The Lions (w/o Megatron) missed a FG, too, and the Pats* can't seem to get anything going on O. Bunch of 3 and outs. Let's hope this continues on Sept. 8....

microscopes Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) I don't think this pre-season games says much of anything about what's going to be reality in the regular season. However, I do think this is going to be one of the worst Belichick-Brady offenses. They'll still score points and win games but not like before. You don't lose a perennial 100+ reception WR, a 51 reception TE, a 40 reception RB and have another 55 reception TE coming off back surgery and not skip a beat. Just doesn't happen. Welker, Hernandez and Woodhead accounted for 52% of Brady's completions last season. That's a lot. Edited August 23, 2013 by microscopes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I was watching this game as well. The Lions are really getting pressure on Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microscopes Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Buffalos going to destroy them week one. I tent to be a pessimist but I actually agree. I don't think the scoreboard will be a blow out, but I think Pettine is going to rattle Brady something fierce. And I will enjoy it. Speaking of getting pounded, the defending champs are looking like crap against Carolina. That's because they're a shell of what they were. I'd bet they miss the playoffs.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Belichick is such a genius he told his players to play like crap so the Bills will take them lightly. Brilliant! PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Pats run game is awful. They are lucky the score isn't 21-3. The Lions undisciplined play is why it isn't. Pats have no answer for Lions quickness on O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pats have no answer for Lions quickness on O. They ran it pretty, pretty, pretty well on us last season. To the tune of two 100 yard rushers in a single game.

Sorry but that isn't all on Dave Wannstedt What does that have to do with the fact that the Pats have 32 yards on 18 carries for a whopping 1.8(I rounded up from 1.77) Ypc? Please. Get a grip. Their run game against a good D line is utter crap....and I write this, as Brady got sacked...again. Edited August 23, 2013 by OCinBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Detroit's d line is beyond good. Which line? I'm watching delayed...they just showed a graphic of the three guys that are no longer on the team from last year. 2 starters from what I can tell. Not the line that went to the playoffs 2 years ago. Perhaps this one is better? I don't know. But, man for man? Pats O line doesn't look good at all. They look lost on some plays. They've done a good job of picking up press, and Brady has made them pay on a few, but, Detroit hasn't blitzed really. They've only pressed, with LBs standing still for reasons passing understanding. If they were blitzing in the first half? Brady would be in even bigger trouble than he has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Keuchly was tearing it up, yes, most definately. Got me thinking... in a few years Gilmore and Keuchly in 2 years could be two of the best defenders in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Ryan Mallett looks awful but then again it's not like he sees the field very often. I think his accuracy was better in college when he smoked weed. PTR Edited August 23, 2013 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
