I don't know if it's lack of preparation or if it's just you can prep all you want but it's not the same as doing it for real. I think we all had questions about if he had the personality to do the job. Someone like Troy Aikman isn't Mr. Personality but he's pretty good at being critical when it's warranted. That's my hope for Brady. If he's reluctant to be critical I don't want him doing the job.

Super happy with how this game turned out.
This confidence boost lets the players know their HC and GM at least are on to something. Big monkey off their back moment to start the season. The offense looked watchable for the first time in years…
As long as we are competitive I’m happy with Jacoby playing. I do think the offense will be able to take it up a notch whenever Maye comes in, but looking at how other rookies fared today, no rush on this…
Overall, 5 star day for Mayo & his staff.

As if people in New England couldn't hate the Giants more, they take the field in week 1 wearing Habs jerseys
Brissett compared to late stage Mac/Zappe is night and day
Nothing spectacular but smart. Made one sketchy play and Henry broke it up. Used his legs really effectively. No happy feet. Really tough mentally.

Next week is winnable, I think. If a couple of breaks go their way, we could be looking at 2-0.
Yes. Agreed.
Most people don’t realize that the Patriots just need to rebuild the offense. The defense is ready-made, and I’m actually noticing fewer missed tackles this past preseason and today compared to last season.
Granted, building an NFL offense with what the Patriots currently have on hand is no easy task, but I think there can be marked improvement over last season just by cleaning up the penalties. Hopefully, better passing and fewer drops will mean even more improvement. Especially with the drops. Can you remember a group of receivers that dropped more footballs that hit them in the hands than the Patriots last year? I can’t. Today was a step in the right direction.

Watched much of this game more out of an anti-Bengals bias.
That was a hell of a showing from your team. Was really impressed with Stevenson. Bengals were frustrated and looked exhausted.
Good game plan. Good win.
OOPS!!!!!
After a surprise 16-10 win for the New England Patriots over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, one Washington, D.C., tavern paid a steep price.
The Dirty Water, an aptly named sports bar for fans of Boston’s teams in the nation’s capital, promised Patriots fans on its Instagram account, “If the Pats win, everyone’s bar tab is on the house.”
On Sunday around 7:30 p.m., the bar was still closing out tabs and had already comped about $6,000 in drinks, said Rachel Hynes, the general manager.
“It was the best game the Patriots have played in the last several years, I would say, offensively for sure,” Hynes said. “There were a couple plays towards the middle of the fourth quarter where I looked at the owner and said ‘We better start comping.’ ”
I told my Dad while we were sitting in our seats a half hour before kickoff
"Stevenson is playing which is huge for the Pats."
And he was.

I fell like Geron Christian signs with the Pats this week. I don't know that he's any better then Lowe but I am hopeful.
I would love to see this offense be the most run heavy in the league this year. Take some shots on play action and take the. Crossing routes when the defense cheeats up.

So with the Patriots winning in an upset, have we been told why this is a bad thing for the Patriots by all the radio talking heads yet?
