NFL Season Kickoff: Tom Brady vs Jehu Chesson Open Thread

just so much talking from the color commentators after every damn play that it would bleed into the next play. basically it was like watching a game with someone talking to you the entire time

More likely David Harris tackles Chesson.

Wahlberg was a nice reminder of how insufferable Boston is.

Not JUST Brady! Not a pat's fan but a fan of the MICH players there.

Alan Branch and David Harris deserve some recognition for that tasty '06 Defense!!!

I wish Speight would be used to throw quick and short like Alex Smith does.

You know I always wondered why there isn't more active poaching by the NFL of successful college coaches...OCs DCs HCs etc. See so many retreads aroumd the NFL...did Kelly ruin it for everyone?

Spurrier, Holtz, Erickson, Butch Davis, Petrino and Saban ruined it first. Harbaugh and Carroll are the only really successful ones I can think of in the last 20 years.

was a semi-successful pro coach with the Jets and Pats before he got hired by USC. There's just such a huge difference in how to coach college kids and pro players that it makes it insanely difficult. You can tell the guys in college that would be good in the pros, and it's basically Harbaugh, Shaw, and maybe a couple others.

They were talking about him earlier, but it seemed to be talking about what to do with Hightower out. He's not listed as injured and was still #1 on the depth chart last time I looked.

Right, he even had a video for the starting lineup annoucements, but I didn't see him either.

He wasn't in the starting line-up but had one tackle assist.

Search of the play-by-play shows it was on the opening kickoff, so I wonder if he was hurt on the play, or soon after.

Chiefs outplaying Patriots... at Foxboro? Alex Smith winning the QB duel against Brady?

The Chiefs put a whoopin on NE a few years back. Everyone chomped on and on that week about how Brady was over the hill and the NE dynasty was over.

Brady proceeded to beat the Seahawks and won his fourth ring. My point is that Brady has been outplayed before, and it's really never mattered. All that matters is who's left standing at the end. And it's a very safe bet that he'll be the last man standing after Super Bowl LII

Just to set a positive spin on what looked pretty bad... Week 1, 2003: Patriots released Lawyer Milloy, lost 31-0 to the Bills. Final record: 14-2 with a Super Bowl victory. They know what to do here, but it seems like there are a lot of holes. And if they lost Amendola, no idea what they'll do for WR targets.

Stat line was grossly one-sided in this game. Alex Smith went off. Doubt this is any foreshadowing for the Pats this season

From the missed receivers to the dumb throw two yards beyond the line of scrimmage, Brady was pretty off tonight. Prepare yourselves for a week of "is he too old?" accompanied by Peyton comparisons.
