First preseason Patriots game

Yeah, apparently I have become a person who watches preseason games. Via a medium that doesn't convey football well (the NFL Game Center on nfl.com). But yeah.

Anyway, Tom looked to be back to his dominant self in the first half, marching up and down the field like no one's business. And while he and Randy Moss had some problems co-ordinating, there was a 35-yard pass in there on the last drive. Sweet! The score was 21-6 at halftime. They have now put in Walter as QB to start the second half.

Also good: our red zone defense is holding them back, as in they have yet to score a touchdown at the start of the third quarter. This was an area of considerable weakness last season, so let's hope that we do better this year!

Tip to the Eagles: you're going to find it hard to win when you get 90 yards of penalties in one half.

In other news involving the Eagles, they have signed Michael Vick. He apparently can't play until he is reinstated in Week 6. Interesting. And kind of weird. Is he meant to be the back-up?
