Yes. Preseason tonight. Vick and Brady will play one series and then the back-ups compete for jobs the rest of the game.

As bad as it is... I prefer it to watching baseball.

I consider them the favorites to win it all.

Then you're a silly homer. Is NE a contender? Maybe. The favorite? Heck no. Who's that WR holding out from camp? Branch? Has he even shown up yet? I seriously doubt NE even gets to the AFC title game.

Preseason football's OK, for those of us desperate for any kind of football, but ultimately it's the junk food of your football diet. Nothing but empty calories. The results don't count, the stars don't play (much), and the only thing real is the injuries. But it will have to do until the real season begins.

But they are the favorites. Vegas has them as 6-1 to win it all. Haven't you seen a holdout before? Branch will be back before the season starts. The Pats will give him a little pay increase so he doesn't suffer a bruised ego, and all will be well.

Falcons need to swallow their ego and put Shaub in as the #1 QB

I have a feeling that this is the year if Vick doesn't perform then Schaub will definately be starting. Vick has had plenty of time to learn the plays and learn how to throw the damn ball, now lets see if he actually does it.

On that note, GO FALCONS!

QFT. Saying the Patriots are "America's Team" is like saying the Yankees are, or even Lakers. You are jaded, my friend. You need to get out of Mass and realize that most everyone else hates the Patriots :).

"Hates" is a strong word. I only hate the Cowboys and maybe the Raiders, who have just become a joke the last few seasons. I don't hate the Pats, but their run is done!

Yea. The term "America's Team" goes to the team that is the most popular nationwide, and it sure as hell ain't the Patriots.

ps - I can't wait to rub it in your face when they lose this season, just like last year.

Reche is going to have a breakout year, Branch will be hungry, Brady's hungry after that loss in Denver. We have an awesome Tight End trio in Ben Watson, Daniel Graham, and Garrett Mills. Teams will be at a severe mismatch trying to defend against the TE packages. Rodney Harrison is back practicing in Training Camp, Matt Light's back, and we have the best Defensive Line in the game. Our Offensive Line is top 10 as well.

The Patriots are back folks.

You're so delusional. Its amusing actually. The Patriots are weaker than they were during their superbowl run. The rest of the NFL is stronger. You lose.
