And now a long pass from Glennon to David Douglas, beautiful play, ruled incomplete. Challenge by Tampa Bay, shockingly the ruling is upheld.

I'd like to see some stats on how often this happens, impacting the stats of white players.

I agree with the fact black quarterbacks throw nothing but safe, short passes. But then why can't the young white players do it? Why don't the coaches set them up for success, with easy throws, too?

Hillis is looking great.

Hillis is running well. He should have the backup job secured after this game!

Hillis back. He has run 12 times for 61 yards. Glad to see some people posting. It's been a ghost town today. Amendola was amazing today with almost a 100 yard game in the first half. Unstoppable if he is healthy. The Pats look good.

Absolutely horrendous interception thrown by Tebow. The jock sniffers will have fun with that.

I hope I'm wrong, because I love him, but the constant criticism has affected Tebow. He may not even make the Patriots.

Of course the constant criticism has affected him. It dont matter how strong you are if you have a thousand megaphones screaming at you constantly "YOU CANT DO IT!!!".

Regardless of whether constant criticism affected him or not, he needs to step it up. 1 completion for - 1 yards on 6 throws and an interception... Could not be much worse

His line is giving Tebow no time to throw, and he has unleashed a couple of those really ugly passes that ESPN will be sure to show.

He looked entirely different as a rookie in those last three games, throwing it down the field nicely, and he didn't have that putrid completion percentage.

And now another nice run by Hillis offset by a very rare offensive facemask call on the runner.

At least we get to watch Tebow and Hillis.

When did they change the facemask rules for RBs?:yell:

Hillis didn't even close his fingers on the mask,it was a steady stiffarm.

Must be one of those whites only penalties. I swear it would take some extraordinary mental gymnastics for an intelligent man to convince himself that this NFL racket is the slightest bit legitimate.

That was one of the most bs calls i've seen in years.That penalty and the holding call earlier in the game really hurt Hillis's stats in this game.

Just watch the NFL Network coverage of these games to see how the black quarterback campaign is rolling. Warren Sapp, like EVERY black with a public voice cheers for EVERY black quarterback, is cheering for Manuel like he was his son.

The ever present blonde bimbo (can't they for once not force the blonde female contrasted against black male on us?) was drooling over him, and then the new retired white player, Matt Light, revealing he is no different than any other retired white player, lauded Manuel as if he had broken every NFL record in the book.

Then, we see Sapp lampooning Tebow's ridiculous performance by chanting that annoying "TEE-Bow" over and over, as the blonde bimbo giggled mindlessly, as blond bimbos will do.

I am an idiot for watching this filth, even if it is only to scout rookies for fantasy football.

Well i'm no expert but the Tampa/NE game wasn't a classic but had several bright spots from the caste perspective on our side.

For Tampa=

Josh Freeman better be very scared of Mike Glennon this year.Freeman only had a few series but looked like crap while Glennon's stats show 50% passing he looked poised and ready no matter the defense.He threw a pick but also threw two touchdowns and just looked better in the pocket even vs the first team defense.

Hillis showed off the monster on a few plays and had a good game overall.Unfortunately the rookie Mike James also had a good game rushing so who knows how the battle is shaping up in the minds of the indoctrinated couches in Tampa?

Tom Crabtree looked great when he was in the game.Not sure if he is the starter or second string but he looked good tonight and hopefully gets a lot of playtime this year.

For NE=

Tom Brady looked great only missing one pass.

Danny Amendola is going to be a monster if he can stay healthy.Considering the rest of the WR crew besides Edelman he could go for the reception record if healthy all year.

Ryan Mallett looked decent and is improving his short yardage game,now they need to let him loose in preseason and show off his arm a little.

Would like to see Tom Crabtree beat out Stocker and be Tampa's starting tight end. He was seriously underused in Green Bay in favor of the perennially underachieving (yet always bitching) Jermichael Finley.

Moose Johnston was vocal in supporting Hillis. Hopefully they'll keep Hillis and James as backup tailbacks and Leonard as the third down/utility back. Doug Martin (who isn't much bigger than Danny Woodhead) was durable last season but that doesn't mean he will be again this year.

New England is gonna be a fun team to watch on offense again this season. Curious that the two teams leading the way in uptempo, precision and speed-based offenses, the Patriots and Eagles, look at this point to also be the two Whitest offenses in the league. Purely a coincidence I'm sure.

When blacks use nothing but short screen passes for yards after the catch they're "dissecting the defense", when whites do it they're "relying too much on their receivers to do the work".

Yes, Moose was very complimentary of Hillis, unlike his broadcast partner, whoever that was. The partner could not help with his caste-speak, referring to Hillis as being "Alstottesque", and also that he "reminded him of Moose a little bit", to which Moose immediately replied "Nah, if he was like me, he would be blocking!" The partner then reluctantly said something along the lines of "Oh yeah, he (Hillis) is a pretty good runner".

I believe Hillis has made the team after this evening's performance, but Tebow, as much as hate to admit it, did not help his cause with a pretty bad game.

As for Bigunreal's comments regarding the NFLN, spot on. Warren Sapp, Deion Sanders, and Michael Irvin are off the charts on the repulsiveness scale. I've already downgraded my cable package and no longer receive that worthless channel.

Amendola looks like he could lead the entire league if he stays healthy.

After a year of not playing and listening his throwing coach "experts" trying to make him into Tom Brady, Tim Tebow looks lost. IMO Tebow's best asset is buying time while the defense scrambles to try to defend him running or throwing the ball deep.All I see is a futile attempt to make him into a poor man's Tom Brady who occasionally has a predictably scripted run for an equally predictable short gain. If I were in control he would always be threat to run, scramble, or throw and almost never have scripted belly dive run. It just seems like even in New England all imagination goes out the window when Tebow is in. He needs some good games to wrap up the preseason.

Again Kaptain, that's if he can stay healthy. It's a big if. He's constantly injured. He can, however, put up Wes Welker type numbers.

I would like to see them try Tebow as a running back, He feels comfortable running the ball.

I actually think when Irvin isn't around the duo of ebonics laced jokes he is an insightful commentator. When he is around these fools it's like his mind regresses to his crack fueled days of peroxide escorts and drags on the pipe while spewing nonsensical ebonics....:twitch:

1) Tebow had very bad performance. Anyone that has seen him play as a pro knows he is better than that. I guess he was just trying too hard. Of course the dwfs are having a ball with his performance all started by that sackless wonder Greg Rosenthal over NFL.com

2) The buffalo dwfs have such a hard on for Manuel like he's the best thing since Jim Kelly. they are impressed by the big brute averaging 5 yds a pass while Kolb and tuel have had the most long balls. I just don't get it. I can't wait to see their reaction when the qoutaback doesn't live up to expectations. idiots.

3) I was so glad to see Hillis play. hopefully freeman loses his job to glennon and martin loses carries
to Hillis and Leonard.

I've been to some of the Bills message boards and the DWF reactions regarding Manuel are pretty hard to read. The Bills were always one of those teams that traditionally had white QB's so I was pretty surprised to see them go black quarterback in the draft this year. I was almost certain their pick would be Ryan Nassib (who will probably end up having a better career than Manuel) Manuel wasn't even good in college so I have no idea how the brass up in Buffalo expect him to be an NFL caliber QB. All of his throws in the 2 preseason games he's played have been dink and dunk type passes. Color me less than impressed.

I don't like how Burkhead is burried on the depth chart. I can only see him getting spot duty in the regular season. I hope I'm wrong though. He is doing good tonight in the 2nd half as usual. He has run the ball 6 times for 31 yards. He was struggling a little bit at first tonight due to the oline looking horrible but he broke off a 22 yard run to get his yard per carry average up. Hope he gets a few more chances to turn some heads. This guy should be a starter without a doubt. It makes me sick.

I agree on Manuel, though I don't think Nassib will be much better, if any. Manuel wasn't extremely impressive at FSU and was projected to be a 2nd-3rd pick. The widely held belief is that the Bills took him because he was very impressive in interviews, and they felt like he was a guy that could be a face of the franchise type leader on and off the field. Personally, I think he has bust written all over him.

Derek Wolfe was just taken off the field in an ambulance. Hopefully it's not serious. He's poised to be a breakout star this season.
