Dear Lord. The OL is gonna get shredded.

Looks all those admonishments about how the preseason OL isn’t going to be the one playing in the regular season were dead wrong.

Outside of today, 4:25 starts in September and October in New England are the best if you're not attending the game. The best weather of the year, tons of yard work to do, kids sports, cookouts etc. You can do all that and come in at 4:30pm, crack a beer and ignore your family. Give me the 1pm games in Nov/Dec.
I agree with everything you are saying.

Being optimistic I think this will be a big Douglas (pop) game - hopefully O’Brien brings back a successful quick hitter game plan that we used to run to beat the big pass rush teams

My optimistic take (hope) involves Mac Jones not suffering a season-ending injury today.

Over under is 19 rushing yards and 11 sacks allowed
I'll take the over on rushing yards, because Rhamondre Stevenson. Under on sacks allowed.

Doug Kyed: Patriots rookie WR Demario Douglas was in the slot with the top offense in warmups.

I tend to like the Pats defense early in the season. It's simple, and with the shortened preseason, I feel like it comes together a lot faster than an NFL offense. The Eagles are rolling back a lot of the same players, so it may not matter, but I could see the Pats holding them into the mid 20's and having a 1 possession game on our hand in the 4th quarter.
Wish this guy could predict Survivor games like he does Patriot losses.
