Major concerns heading into week 1

[bigblue999]

The Pats game was a huge disappointment on offense. The starters went against the Pat's scrubs and couldn't do anything. I hope this doesn't carry over into game 1.

looked bad against the scrubs they didnt to do much with fear of injury. however against a good bear d we had a great o performance

Can't really gauge it from last nights walk through. However, offensive line is a huge concern. Seems like multiple defenders in the backfield on every running play.

i agree line doesnt look good however last night snee didnt play and they kept running it by petrus to see what he had

the team had absolutely no intensity. but lets not look too much into it. in preseason games, offenses struggle often knowing they only have a few series and more pressure is added on each individual play to ensure the drive continues.
we couldnt get out of our own way. team looked flat, but i think u also have to credit the intensity the NE 2nd teamers had. which is understandable bc many of them were playing for their job. they were celebrating when they made plays like it was the SB and not the last preseason game.

Also, i bet we were installing the gameplan for dallas already and things just werent working against a diff unit.

I have no worries about this game. The team will come out, and continue on without skipping a beat from the run last season. I expect BIG things

There was less intensity in that game last night than there is in the Pro Bowl.

Yes, the players trying to get it over with and go home in a meaningless game is a major worry.

Aka it seemed like we were watching video of our run game last year. It's preseason and the last game at that, but I am really hoping to see some major improvement over last year from the line.

Starters were playing not to get hurt, and our 2nd/3rd/4th string players were playing to get a spot.

I saw many non-starters playing with intensity at the end of the game (especially on defense).

Plus, our o-line was giving Carr and co. no time at all to make plays.


I wouldn't be worried at all.
