The 3rd pre-season, also a crucial game for many who are on the bubble before the 80-men cutdown.

I'll be especially looking for:

• Butler vs Whilite: one of the two won't make the team
• Yeatman vs Smith: would a promising 5th rounder be cut over a better performing UDFA?
• Ihedigbo vs White: two ST standouts battling for a spot
• Anderson vs Moore: can we keep BOTH of these guys?

Plus, the debut of Wilfork + Hayenesworth monster DL?

Reiss says Ellis/Haynesworth will NOT play, but he does not cite any support.

Haynesworth and Ellis not expected to play. One of the big pre-game questions was whether this would be the first time we see defensive linemen Albert Haynesworth andShaun Ellis in a Patriots uniform. They are not expected to play.

Rapoport and Bedard have been saying that for a day or two now citing Patriots sources.

Ah, thanks.

I'm hoping the O-line is able to contain Suh. Last thing I want is him throwing Brady around like he's Andy Dalton or Jake Delhomme.

I wonder if the Pats are going to have their minds on the game, and not be thinking about Irene. After all, who wants to spend two days in Detroit?

[DegenerateSoxFan]

Anyone have any good links for a stream? Firstrow.net has been shut down by the feds.

[RedOctober3829]

Will this game be on TV or is it going to be pre-empted by Irene coverage? I'll be pissed if I can't see the game.

[Mugsys Jock]

Anyone know if WCBS in NYC is carrying the game tonight, or just more repetitive hurricane updates?
Their website was worthless.

Firstrowsports.eu is the same site.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Firstrowsports.eu is the same site.

Thanks -- streaming some informercial now, but hopefully it'll carry the game once it starts.

[DegenerateSoxFan]

Thanks. I'm trying to get it to work on my iPhone (stuck in the car for a 2 hour drive) but no luck yet.

I just got WCBS on the phone -- they're preempting the game for 5 more hours of "it's going to rain". Won't even put the game on their digital channel. I'm pissed.

I work in TV and have never stolen a live stream of a game before for both business and ethical reasons. Tonights toning to test that.

In DC, Channel 9 will continue with their Irene coverage, but the game will be on one of their OTA digital subchannels (9-2).

[SeoulSoxFan]

Found this link that seems to work so far.

[MarcSullivaFan]

Lesley Visser in HD. Yikes.

[Corsi]

Did Leslie Visser get a ton of work done this offseason?

[SeoulSoxFan]

The rise of the Lions just underscores how incredibly horrible Matt Millen was.

[axx]

Haha, kickoffs are so stupid

[RedOctober3829]

If you have Cablevision, the game is in SD on channel 10.

[Jnai]

Smart way to start against the new look blitz-happy Pats.

[Mystic Merlin]

DMC really faltered there.

[Salva135]

Stafford is really fucking good.

[axx]

That should have been 6

[Mystic Merlin]

Stafford threw some ridiculous passes on that drive.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Pegging Lions at 11 wins?

[Salva135]

That drive was very 2010 Pats D-esque.

[Rico Guapo]

Stafford threw some ridiculous passes on that drive.

This.

Great timing for the Detroit's passing game on that drive.

[RedOctober3829]

The Lions are going to be a playoff contender all season.

[Hendu for Kutch]

That was crazy...you could see Lions coming into the picture as Tate was catching that kickoff.

[Soxy Brown]

Lions wasting no time getting chippy.

[Mystic Merlin]

Holy late flag.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Holy shit Ocho

[cshea]

Haha, what?

[SeoulSoxFan]

LOL what a horrible call

[Mystic Merlin]

lolwut

[RedOctober3829]

How is that pass interference???

[ElcaballitoMVP]

That was a fucking AWFUL call

[Hendu for Kutch]

Refs in midseason form!

[Manzivino]

How is that on 85?

[PBDWake]

Wat.

[Fishercat]

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that was one of the worst calls I've ever seen on a football field.

[Mystic Merlin]

So, that's what, a twenty yard swing? Nice way to kill the drive, ref.

Probably closer to thirty.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Refs in mid season form. Amazing call.

[Tony C]

nice to get that sort of bad call out of the way during exhib season.

[Hendu's Gait]

Ref doesn't seem to understand the spirit of the PI rule.

[Harry Hooper]

No one saw that draw coming.

[Fishercat]

I don't quite get the celebrating either. I get the hunch the Lions could become a really hated team with some of their guys if they're good.

Looked like a throw.

[SeoulSoxFan]

So I guess this is Detroit's Super Bowl.

[Salva135]

Get Brady out of the game now. Fuck this game.
