here's a pats thread for everyone to talk about patritos shit because nobody else cares

have any of you guys gone to foxboro for a game? i'm trying to do this & don't know when is the best time to buy a ticket off stubhub. should I wait and hope a less expensive single ticket pops up in the week before the game?

i've gone but i had a sweet hookup through an ilxor. just looked at prices for the second game and.......damn.

i wouldn't be optimistic about getting anything all that much cheaper.

yeah thats a tough ticket id say if you see a price u like just take it

obv the patriots are an entirely different franchise since when gillette was built but it does suck that it is in the bottom half of stadiums by capacity. if they could rustle up another 20000 seats maybe ppl could afford to see a game. or maybe that would just soak up the season ticket waiting list...

i don't know what the resale prices are, altho i can imagine, but i would say it is 100% worth going at least one time for the experience

otm, it is awesome

Only Pats game I've been to was at Sullivan Stadium, Bledsoe vs Marino, the year they went to the super bowl.

resale is like $275 for the cheapest seats rn. ugh. i hate expensive tickets. i've never paid that much to see anything (closest was like $175 but it was kendrick lamar one-off show at the kennedy center so). but i'll probably do it

sullivan was such a pit! lol the pats were the worst, how times change

that shit didnt even have seats just cold ass metal benches

this guy, this bill belichick. he's always up to something but it's never quite what you expect. and it rarely seems to make sense. but it usually works out pretty well.

ok, cassius marsh trade is more like what i was waiting for. that's a superb pick up. and made possible by the jets sending richarson to seattle, presumably.

Smh they cheating lol https://t.co/IwPCWirZCw

folks theres a football game to night

America's passtime

wordplay

Oh shit they lost another wr already while I wasn't paying attention. Maybe Dorsett is a quick learner...

Feeling very guilty that I'm probably skipping my exercise class to watch this tonight.

football should be illegal but i will probably watch

football starting is good cos that means the nba season is around the corner. also football is pretty cool sometimes.

anyone else watch that 'do your job' (v2) pats documentary that nbc played a couple days ago? v interesting esp the gambling by patricia when calling the defense in the second half after that julio jones catch. including the fact that they knew one of the refs on that crew made a critical holding call in a prev playoff game.

also one of my favorite belichick quotes re the first half -> "I felt like we had control of the game. We just didn't have control of the score."

lol

also i miss legarrette blount he seems like one of the nicest guys

regular at celtics games too

i recorded dyj2 but haven't watched yet, psyched for it tho.

saw legarrette at a c's game once, he is an enormous dude.

lol why they have wahlberg out there everyone knows he left before it even got to 28-3

lol i forgot about that, man i f'n hate that guy

When u really don't like chefs but NE.

#Patriots LB Dont'a Hightower is believed to have suffered a minor MCL sprain vs KC, I'm told. With the long break, could actually play W2.

looked like it could've been much worse so i'll definitely take this silver lining to yesterday's giant shitstorm

Depth at RB was a nice change, but total lack of WRs and defense isn't going to get them far

football is bad just my opinon

to be fair they were very deep at wr before they lost 3 in 2 weeks. defense is going to be fine, altho i hadn't noticed how unexciting the LB corps is past/without hightower.

i wouldn't read a great deal into last night in terms of the full season. combo of pats being outsmarted and outsmarting themselves, playing 4th choice safety as a LB did not work outside of the strip. my abiding memory of the game will be a DE somehow in man coverage on a deep bomb that turned into a 75y td and predictably getting toasted. things like that don't happen when they have their shit together.

i am a little more concerned about the offense, in the short term anyway. with amendola out brady only had hogan and gronk, and maybe lewis, as receiving options he has an established rapport with. kcc bracketed gronk and put peters on hogan and then even tho brady had all the time in the world vs often a 3 man rush he just had no one to pass to. but there were promising signs of life in his relationship with cooks and burkhead and hopefully dola is back soon. and not every team has marcus peters. one thing i noticed is that i don't remember seeing dwayne allen at all after that misfire first play, certainly he ended the game without a catch. i think brady blackballed him even tho it was a horrendous throw and clearly not allen's fault at all.

brissett is going in for indy...

wow why not w/that score

why would anyone continue to employ a HC who thinks starting scott tolzien at qb is a reasonable way to enter a new season?

LOL brissett 1/1 for 50y and leads a TD first drive

why would anyone continue to employ a HC who thinks starting scott tolzien at qb is a reasonable way to enter a new season?

pagano just told press they got their ass kicked by the 49ers. after losing to the rams.

guess this is the end of getting good odds on pagano as first coach fired

patriots defense looks, not great

they looked soft against the run again and as often in recent years were bamboozled by a mobile qb

The players kneeling sparked a strong reaction from former Patriots offensive tackle Matt Light who was part of the franchise's first three Super Bowl championships.

"As a guy that's been there and helped set up the Patriot Way so they can walk in there and do what they do, it's beyond disheartening," Light told the Boston Herald. "It's the first time I've ever been ashamed to be a Patriot. And I promise you I'm not the only one."

Matt Light fought and died for you ungrateful jerks

damien woody not impressed by light's insistence that it wouldn't have happened during his time

Child please! I would like to see u tell another grown man what he could or couldn’t do! U can disagree but you had no authority over anyone
