WOO WOO f*cking WOO!!!!

Love this game. Can't wait to watch the hyped Chandler Jones and Donta Hightower. Don't want to see Gronk play much, would like to see a little bit of Lloyd and Brady. The RB core too.

GO PATS!!!

Not impressed with the o-line so far this game.

Pre-season is pre-season though. Just not a lot of cohesion so far.

Solder was awful tonight.

Brady & Lloyd haven't developed their chemistry yet but I expect them to be fine once week 1 comes.

Ridley looked good, I think he'll be better than Law Firm. And this isn't based off this one game.

Chandler Jones is a BEAST.

Gonna start off with the ugly. Dane Fletcher tore his ACL. That really sucks. For him and the patriots depth at LB. I always thought when we first signed him, that Bobby Carpenter would be a late cut, but he'll likely stick around and hopefully step it up.

Good:

Chandler Jones showed up when he was talked about. Gah, what a specimen. I hate those announcers, they butcher everything, but the play by play guy was 100 percent right when talking about Jones spody. He's like a giant friggen spider. Almost no torso, it's all legs and arms. He was abusing their LT today.

Ridley and Vereen looking solid. I really like our backs this year even without Law-Firm.

Bad:

The O-Line needs work. A lot of work. What happened to Solder? Please sign Waters.

Other thoughts:
What's andre carter doing these days? I'd love to see him back.
Just a sloppy game, but good to see Hoyer drive them and get the victory.
