Starters play into the third

The majority of Patriots' offensive starters are playing into the third quarter tonight.

Wes Welker, however, has not returned to the game since sustaining a rib injury.

Do we need to see anymore of Cassel? No. I say cut him from the team in the fourth quarter and announce it in the stadium. The crowd needs something to celebrate. By the way, is Maroney a waste of space or what?

Where are my Patriots? The last few preseason games have been painful to watch! Is this a joke? I understand that the offense is nothing without Brady but what's wrong with the defense! I hope this is not a preview of our 2008 season!

Something isn't right that's for sure. The Cassel experiment is done in my mind.

For the third straight game, they look bad in all facets, very few bright spots. I understand that the final score means nothing in the preseason but when Kevin Kolb is driving the length of the field on you, I think you have to be worried about your defense.

Just wait until the regular season. Then the Pats will turn it on. Just like they did in the Super Bowl last year.

Oh....nevermind!

Too many nay-sayers...Billy B. knows how to get a team prepared and this is only PRE-SEASON! The Pats will be ready when the bell rings!
