Patriots vs Lions: Halftime Thoughts

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Lets all take a collective deep breath, alright? Okay. It’s one half of one preseason game and the Patriots utter dominance couldn’t continue forever.

There’s a lot to get excited about for tonight’s Lions game: rookies, highly touted free agents, second-year potential studs, etc. What I’m most excited about though is potentially getting to see exactly what the divide will be between first string, second string and third string for the Patriots.

Patriots vs Bucs

Who will be joining these guys in the Patriots receiving corps?

NEPD Staff Writer: Doug Kyed

Correctly predicting the Patriots 53 man roster seems like an impossible task at times, which is precisely why I’m not even going to attempt to do that at this time.
