truth on hold Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Music to my ears ..... If the preseason opener was Jimmy Garoppolo's audition for the NFL Kickoff game versus thePittsburgh Steelers, the New England Patriots can't feel any better about their quarterback situation than they were entering training camp. With the obvious caveat that preseason games offer very little predictive value, Garoppolo's performance in Thursday's 22-11 loss to the Packers was a letdown. Garoppolo took seven sacks, averaged just 5.3 yards per attempt and had trouble moving the offense into scoring territory. "I've got a long way to go obviously," Garoppolo said after the game. "Eleven points is not by any means good enough. There's room for improvement." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000509762/article/patriots-o-missing-big-plays-with-jimmy-garoppolo Edited August 14, 2015 by JTSP
LeGOATski Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 He was not good at all. The Pats will still be a formidable team, even if he's under center.
machine gun kelly Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 1-3 will make it very difficult for them to win the division. Fitzpicktrick will screw it up for the Jets as he can't hit anyone in stride after 15 yards, and Tannehill is a sack machine as he holds the ball too long. I know it's Cassel, but he has lots of weapons, an improved line, and a tremendous defense. He made it 11-5 with a solid Patriots team, and 10-6 in KC again with a decent team. I think he just needs time to develop, and EJ is gone. I thought for sure they would keep him as he is paid for with the rookie guaranteed contract, but he is not a Whaley / Ryan guy. I would rather leave him as the third string QB, rather than have only two, or pay someone else more, but he'll never start for us.

Tannehill was sharp tonight, I think this is the year he get's to Matt Ryan Status.

GunnerBill Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Tannehill was sharp tonight, I think this is the year he get's to Matt Ryan Status. I don't.
boyst Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Tannehill isn't awful. He is not great but he is good, or getting to good. I'd take him over Dalton, for example. Dalton is not getting better or able to produce on the field. Tannehill is and he is taking changes.
plenzmd1 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I look forward to watching the Dolphin first series sometime today, but by all accounts the first units both looked very good last night. Think they are going to be a very tough team to beat this year.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Tannehill was sharp tonight, I think this is the year he get's to Matt Ryan Status. Why?
truth on hold Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Watched the highlights and makes one realize how good brady is, deflated balls or not he's still the best in the biz. Edited August 14, 2015 by JTSP
iinii Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 let tommy play. Williams, Williams, Hughes and Dareus do a mash up and Jimmy G. leads N.E. to a 6-10 season. We edge out Miami for the division crown, beat Philly for the Lombardi trophy and party all night!

VaMilBill Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I hate to be a cynic, but until I see it, I won't believe it. Being a bills fan for so long has taught me to be a pessimist. Garappolo still has three more games and several weeks to figure it out. I hope he never gets good but I'm not banking in it.
Tsaikotic Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I'll have what you're having yeah I know!!...against Philly??..really??..more like Packers or Seattle
MattM Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I watched part of the Pats* game last night and Jimmy G stunk it up most of the time against the Packer 2's with better luck against the 3's not surprisingly. Should have been picked at least one other time and doesn't seem to have that 4 second clock in his head yet.
Maury Ballstein Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I ride with the barbarian. Tannenhill is money as long as he's not up against Bills defense.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Albeit a much smaller sample size, but Marsha didn't really look all that impressive either. Not a great deal of proven weapons on offense other than Gronkowski (not that this has slowed down Brady in the past, of course).
NewEra Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I ride with the barbarian. Tannenhill is money as long as he's not up against Bills defense.w Agreed, except his last game vs the Bills, he was money. Cost me lots and lots of money. Il let ever forget that game. Along with the worst intentional grounding call ever I think his game steps up a notch this year. He's got all the tools, just needs reps and experience. Edited August 14, 2015 by NewEra
