New Orleans vs Patriots pre-season game

Ok. this secondary sucks...

Pats getting manhandled 15-0 with 7 minutes to go in the first half. If McCourty is going to play corner, this defense is in serious trouble. Brady has no confidence in the receivers and looks very skittish with this offensive line. Not having LaFell, Edelman and Gronk doesn't do a lot for your confidence.

McDaniels has to stop running on every first down. Mix it up a bit.

The Ravens are getting slaughtered by the Eagles 24-0 at the half.

 

[BigKen]

Gray has run for a couple of first downs.

Garrapolo looks much better than Brady.

2:00 Minute Warning....can they at least score 3?

The game airs at 1am EST on NFLN Sunday morning. I'm recording it. 19 players are sitting out. Only DA is starting at WR. It's preseason. No worries yet.

 

[BigKen]

Logan Ryan got toasted then Mclain interferes and then McCown gets an easy TD to the TE.

It's like they really don't have any idea what's happening. 21-0 with 1 minute to go. Took the Saints less than one minute to go 65 yards and score.

They are getting no help from the linebackers. That is keeping the CB's in close, opening up the field.
We are not looking so good but we are trying to coach in the game like it is a practice......

 

[BigKen]

Garappolo nearly gets sacked, breaks away and throws a 24 yard TD to Josh Gibson. 14 seconds to go in the first half 21-7.

2nd pre-season game,most of the starters are not playing and I'm supposed to get worked up about the score?

Come on fellas, it's tryouts. Relax.

 

[BigKen]

Brees was perfect and has a rating of 158.6.

Scores are not important but a score does measure how successful or unsuccessful you game is. One thing I hate to hear is that all of the starters aren't playing or 16 guys are hurt. They need the work more than the guys on the field because they're not getting any work in at all.

 

[BigKen]

Patriots put together a nice drive. Get a first and goal at the one, Blount runs it in but one of the rookie WR holds. Doesn't matter, give the ball to Dieon Lewis and he takes 11 yards up the middle. He's only 5'8" but he's fast and not easy to bring down. 21-14 New Orleans with 5:49 left in the third.

Garappolo is looking more comfortable and has this team moving.

 

[BigKen]

Eagles beat the Ravens 40-17.

 

[BigKen]

Patriots pull it out 16-24.........14 seconds to go..

It's over...........Pats go down 21-0 then outscore the Saints 26-3.

Our back ups beat their back ups. Decisively.

 

[BigKen]

Time for bed.....

It's only 7:00 pm here! Wake up dudes!

Ok. this secondary sucks...

remember BB never gives anything away. I don't expect the defense to play the regular season the way they are playing in the preseason.

 

[PatsFan2003]

Thank god it's just pre-season but seeing an QB like Brees light them up with ease is not comforting.

 

[BradPittsEvilTwin]

Did anyone get hurt last night? The only things that count in the preseason are the injuries.

 

[redseat]

It was nice for the Patriots to come back and win. I have a feeling that this is going to be a reoccurring theme in the regular season if the defense doesn't step up.

Receiver Gibson got hurt. Waiting for X-ray evaluation.
