NFL Network's preview show... showed fans in the parking lot before the game. They only showed Pats fans. And didn't even talk about the Bills at all. The only topic was the Patriots and Brady. What the !@#$. So glad I don't have cable. (watching on DTV's Sunday Ticket app that came with Madden)

I assume the OP didn't get enough coffee, need someone to fix that title.

Loaded up my Madden code today, surprise, it comes with RedZone also, sweet. Working well so far. Real test will be when 10 1pm games start, hah.

I couldn't sleep!

Yup.

Hah! -- As long as Brady is QB, and the guys can catch a ball, I'm not really sure if it will matter if they are UDFAs or not. Though, that being said, I'm honestly more worried about the run game.

Cool post, thanks.

Skill? Probably on the Flutie level. Record? Probably on the Fitzpatrick level.

When winning or tied, Fitz threw 9 TDs to 3 INTs and had a QB rating of roughly 90. When losing, Fitz threw 16 TDs to 13 INTs and had a QB rating of 80. Not suggesting he's a hall of famer. But it was pretty clear that when we were down and desperate, he took more chances.

Two things: Attitude is no great predictor, unfortunately. Otherwise Fitzpatrick would be in the Hall of Fame, and Rapistburger would have flamed out. This thread will be interesting to pull back up if Geno ends up being the real deal and EJ ends up being the second coming of Trent Edwards (not saying that's going to happen, I truly don't know), and everyone will be screaming about how they KNEW Geno would be great and EJ would suck.

Yeah, but Pettine is a football genius!

This thread is fantastic. Probably.

Yup.

I don't see him getting used much as a WR for some reason. Maybe screen plays, and the occasional bomb to loosen up a defense. His use will be mainly kick returns.

I like the kid a lot, but I'm going to keep my expectations to JP Losman/Trent Edwards levels, so I don't get burned. At the very least he's a new face, so it'll be exciting for a year or two no matter how he does.

I'm not very optimistic about our record, but I'm at the very least intrigued since we have new coaches and players. I'll be entertained.

I got a laugh out of his response.

Just like anything else, it'll stick around until defenses can stop it *shrugs*.

45-17 Pats

Meh. I already assumed he wouldn't be playing for us this year. Leonard and Williams are our Safeties, better get used to it. I just hope we can get something decent for him before losing him to another team.

I think it'll fully depend on how many points New England scores. If we're down by 30 points, I can't expect Hackett to call for a bunch of 4 yard plays.

If the run D doesn't improve, and it's clear that the DTs aren't getting it done, then you obviously need to look at getting new DTs. How is this even a question?

Heh, guess the various TV guides around here are late to the game Lame... good thing I got that DTV package with Madden!

Yeah, I don't think he expected everyone else to be so silent on the situation. Miscalculation.
