New England opted for a blackout because they didn't sell enough stadium tickets. Bad move by management...if PR means anything.

I don't think they do blackouts in the preseason, at least for the local areas. Teams negotiate TV deals with local affiliates, who have no incentive to black out the game. Just the opposite, actually. We are all hearing it now. The problem seems to have been with XXX.

I think the fan aggrevation is starting to build up. I think more than anything, we would like to see some positives. I haven't seen anything yet. Except that nice pass Lloyd cought in the 2nd game. Or maybee it was the first.

First. Didn't Lloyd sit out the second?

Man, Betts needed to stay on his feet. I want to see Duckett.

No, but just because Brady can move them down field, doesn't necessarily mean that our D sucks.

TripleX is ahead of the NFL.com play-by-play.....last week I "saw" the play b/4 I heard it. Mush better this week.

Brady's one guy. Branch still hasn't even reported to camp, and NE is marching all over the field.

And Hall hooks a FG try. Much wide left.

Our ST's suck

ArizonaHOG · Post by **ArizonaHOG** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 8:54 pm

Uuuuugh! Decen drive wasted. ANOTHER bad special teams play. Did our "special" teams take the short bus to the game today?....just kidding.

I'm not concerned.

I really hope this is one of those bad ruts that teams get into...getting it over with now....I have been watching football for a long time and know what pre-season is for and in any way I cannot see what I am watching as positive....

frankcal20 · Post by **frankcal20** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 8:55 pm

They are announcing it was tipped?

frankcal20 · Post by **frankcal20** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 8:56 pm

Wilfork blocked the kick per CBS and XXX

RedskinsFreak · Post by **RedskinsFreak** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 8:56 pm

Might have been. I'm watching at work, no sound at all.

Our pass rush is not in NE.

Carlos got screwed.

Sean got turned around.

35 yard pass to Watson...WTF

RedskinsFreak · Post by **RedskinsFreak** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 8:59 pm

You think other teams are noticing a basic inability to cover tight ends down the hash marks?

frankcal20 · Post by **frankcal20** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 9:00 pm

They are throwing to the guy who Arch is covering. Thats bad.

He was never known as a cover guy. He's a blitzing safety and decent guy against the run.

And where does that leave Sean Taylor????

And as I type, TD pass to -- guess who -- Watson, wide freakin' open.

Chris Luva Luva · Post by **Chris Luva Luva** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 9:03 pm

This is really bad. At least we have balance, both the offense and defense look bad.

Mursilis · Post by **Mursilis** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 9:04 pm

Another TD for NE. But that was the plan - we're just sandbagging everyone for preseason!!! It's all good!!
