First team offense and defense looked great. Pretty happy overall. David Wilson in particular was a big highlight and Barden had the game I've been wanting to see.

Ramses is playing for his jerb. There's every chance he could be cut next week.

Looking forward to another year of Matt Cassel wasting his teammates' careers. Another year of back to back to back 3 and outs forcing the defense to stay on the field until they break down. Can't wait to see how they avoid drafting a quarterback next year.

He's been playing for his jerb all preseason and he hasn't done shit until tonight. He's completely on the bubble. The fact that he doesn't play special teams makes it all the more likely he could be cut. Reese isn't quick to cut and run on his high draft picks though.TheFrankman said:
Oh and I know he's often mentioned but what has Hixon done exactly? I think he's on the bubble as well.

Trying to come back after tearing two ACLs is no easy feat. At least give him time.
Not to be a debbie downer, but we won with 4 FG's. :\ I just want to see a healthy O-line that can actually protect the QB.

I'm not the one he has to impress. He has one catch to his name in three preseason games. There is a pretty heated competition going on for that third WR position with young guys flashing right now and he's shown nothing.TheFrankman said:
He's not returning punts anymore either. I know he's well liked by the fans (hell I like him!) but as a GM, Reese is going to have to look at production.
EDIT: Injury updates:
Good.
Kiwi says he shouldn't be out more than week with the groin sprain. He'll be there for the opener.

I think Freeman lost his ability to play football with his fat.
Like the obese version of Sampson.

Kluwe is telling it like it is.
well, maybe they finally got madden right. lol. 6 years too late.
Wimbley lol, that guy was not our best LB. They were all mediocre at best. But that convict Rolando is the best LB on the team. People over exaggerate Wimbley. The guy had 4 of his 7 sacks against a undrafted rookie LT (Thanks to Aaron Curry, that hard hitting mother fucker), sucked against the run, and was horrible in coverage. Raiders defense suffered from not having Shaughnessy at DE, that guy is a complete DE. Not to mention a competent d coordinator. Putting your MLB on Megatron without any help? LOL
I'll say this though, the Raiders would've won the AFC West if the defense showed up. Bills, Broncos, Lions. Hue was too crazy really for his own good, especially putting his players on blast at the end of the season. You simply don't do that as a head coach. He's definitely a good coordinator, but as a HC, he was too crazy.

Russell Wilson is truly a gift from the Football gods!
Please don't tell me you mean Wimbley? Judging by the the 2 preseason games, Wheeler is a better all-around LB than Wimbley will ever be. Wheeler can cover, blitz, and maintain his gap well.
When / If Curry gets back, Oakland should have a serviceable LB corps.
I am a little worried about the Oakland CBs though. Bartell and Spencer are barely adequate now. If either of them go down the Raiders will be in a world of hurt.

Jones was great.
Didn't pay too much attention to Hightower.
Solder played pretty well, much better than his prior preseason performances
Demps was awesome, especially considering that he just started practicing with the team. Definitely the most interesting (and explosive) back to watch.

How was Dowling?
He was actually pretty good, didn't get seen a lot which is always a good thing.
Vereen and Arrington are the two biggest. Gregory looked hurt, but turned out it was just a tough hit.
I miss Chris. Remember when he posted here? Greatest 30 minutes of NFL Age ever! <3

Going to say it, as a Jet fan I thought the Patriots performance tonight was very lackluster
As most NFL viewers would say, it is going to be an interesting season but with a Jets major upgrade at right tackle the playoffs is almost out of reach.
The way the Jets go either you believe in Sanchez or not, I will be honest either he is a Trent Dilfer or her is not. I am a self hating Jets fan, have been for along time and I believe if we somehow upgrade the right tackle position we will at least control our own position come playoff time.

Really disheartening performance. I was expecting this team to be at least marginally improved over last year. Seeing the Oline turn to absolute shit and the secondary still having a lot of problems is disappointing.
Looks like the AFC East will just be shit overall this year.

I guess it only makes sense that an SF team does this:
Niners are the first NFL team to film an "it gets better" video.
Semi-related: Isaac Sopoaga's hair is pretty damn awesome.

If I was gay, I'd be more grateful to the Patriots for giving us the hotness of Tom Brady every day than to the Niners for a stupid short video.
Jim Harbaugh is very sexy you know. The perfect quadragenarian.
Pats fans: can one of you explain to me Rob Ninkovich? I mean what does he do? Everyone in Boston always talks about how great he is but I've never seen it. Jones was a beast last night even while getting doubled a lot yet Ninkovich did nothing I saw to take advantage of single blocking. The guy has 11 sacks in six years. I just don't get why fans and the team treat him like he's an all-pro or something. I must be missing something here.
Vjax always kills the Pats corners.The defense will improve with time. I feel like the defense will struggle, but will be better this season. We just have to hope McCourty improves as the season goes along. The oline worries me though. They are one injury away from being garbage.
I haven't watched the game yet

Nothing wrong with a fine.
His nickname is Nikopoop for a reason. He does a lot of things okay at best, but nothing he does is really good. He has his moments especially in coverage, but his pass rush is pretty ineffective. I hope Cunningham is able to take his spot as DE and they move Nink to LB as a solid backup with Fletcher out.
gotta keep you in line!
Of course Dutch Goodell would say that.
Yes, but there is other way to keep a guy in line. Doing amry punition, cork off the W.C or others stuff like this. Plus the guy got a lot of money, he can don't get a shit with that this fines. Need a real sanction for him to learn the rules.
