Hoping absolutely nobody gets sick this season. Or at least the numbers are tiny.

Gonna be messy with the teams (rookies especially) going through a condensed preseason.

TB is absolutely stacked. He’s gonna do great.

Plus Brady and Brees in two games this year, wow.

So, with stadiums blaring in artificial sound, watch the Pats "accidentally" put in noise 239847213047312401243 decibels over the allowed volume.

Meanwhile, I expect to see TB run for his life for once behind a squad incapable of cheating to the levels of the Patriots. Great QB? Unlikely.

We actually have a stud RB now. Looks like CEH is living up to the hype. Rest of NFL: uh oh.....

You could tell Andy Reid was pulling the punches on the playbook as the game was pretty much wrapped up at start of 4th quarter...

Also given very minimal pre-season work due to pandemic....CEH likely will run the ball more...and then as he learns the language and playbook he'll be used more in the passing game.....

Someone needs to get Andy some de-fog spray/application for that shield mask thing. I'm guessing next week we'll see a much improved and better version of the face shield....

People need to take their heads out of their asses.

It's not politics per se. It's social problems and civil rights can be seen that way. I think those people booing should STFU.

Once your Pats are back to their regularly scheduled cheating to win, it'll all feel normal. And you'll see that regardless of who is QB, the process works.



You'll be like, Brady WHO!???! by game 2.

They do everything you want and then you still boo. Then clearly it wasn't about the flag or the troops, you're just racist and don't want your racism to be challenged.

Stupid Fox, they can't even get sports right. I was FAR more interested in the NFC West match up of SF vs. ARI. I think everyone else up here was too.

Not the start they were hoping for, but it will be interesting to see how it evolves. Pats always got better as the season went on....

I agree. No preseason, none of the usual hype, and the empty stands are all making it feel weird. All that being said, I'm glad it's on. Will be interesting to see how things are 10-14 days from now....

I thought he looked good for a Rookie in his first start and no pre-season. I think better days are ahead for them. Sucks to get screwed by the kicker though....

I'm upset at how bad the 49ers played, but I'm not overreacting yet. Defense should look very different with our two starters in.
