the familiar music is playing, and #12 is running onto the field in full uniform

Belichick says on @985TheSportsHub #Patriots pregame show that he's "quite a bit" excited to get back on the field tonight

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 10:49:47 PM
When asked about Gronk and Chandler, Belichick goes out of his way to praise Hooman, who knows the system well after 3 years with the team

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 10:53:53 PM
Tom Brady and Danny Amendola having a pregame chat. Both look ready to play.

Tom Brady exhorting his mates to "Let's go!" Sporting a big smile during team stretching. #NEvsGB #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 8/13/2015 10:57:25 PM
Seabstian Vollmer and Malcom Brown among those in uniform, but among those I don't see are Solder, Siliga, T. Brown

Jonathan Kraft asked on #Patriots pregame radio show about a settlement. "Anything that Tom Brady feels is best for him is fine with us."

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 11:07:55 PM
Tom Brady chatting and smiling with Robert Kraft on the sideline. #NEvsGB #Patriots

Jonathan Kraft on #Patriots pregame radio show: "I think Robert said it best -- lawyers get involved, and they screw everything up."

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 11:10:03 PM
somewhat surprisingly, Hightower in full uniform. has practiced with red non-contact since pads came on. Mayo also suited up

by shalise manza young via twitter 8/13/2015 11:10:16 PM
The makeshift tunnel the Patriots run out of is fully, um, inflated. Sorry. #NEvsGB #Patriots #DeflateGate

by Jim McBride via twitter 8/13/2015 11:13:57 PM
Tom Brady leads them out. #NEvsGB #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 8/13/2015 11:28:43 PM
Tom Brady announced with starters to a thunderous roar, though the place is half empty. #NEvsGB #Patriots

nice job on the Anthem by 12-year old Olivia Tsetsilas ????????

Patriots win toss. Defer. @Dan_Shaughnessy knew it. #NEvsGB #Patriots

Malcolm Butler & Darryl Roberts starting outside CBs, Robert McClain at slot

Watching the local broadcat. Gillette's "Flexball" is still the official shave of the New England #Patriots

Tom Brady starting. Thunderous, standing O. #NEvsGB #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 8/13/2015 11:47:20 PM
Brady slowly walking to huddle, crowd on its feet

by shalise manza young via twitter 8/13/2015 11:47:22 PM
Brady does indeed get the start, but he's behind the second team offensive line. Better get him out of there quickly

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 11:49:12 PM
Let's just get these out of the way now RT @WillBrinson Too much air on the ball from Brady.

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 11:50:24 PM
Riverboat Mike McCarthy going for fourth and short on two straight drives, and stuffed two straight times. Nice play by Jabaal Sheard

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 11:56:44 PM
Oof. Hope he's OK RT @KristianGaric1 #saints CB Brandon Browner carted off the field into locker room

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 11:58:36 PM
#Patriots could have a nice find in Brandon Gibson as the No. 3 or 4 WR. Good hands, good route runner. Hasn't been able to stay healthy

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/13/2015 11:59:26 PM
Sorry, sorry, I blacked out. What happened? twitter.com/BobGlauber/sta…

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/14/2015 12:02:40 AM
Taking down Aaron Rodgers with a free shot in your first NFL game. Trey Flowers will dream about that sack for the rest of his life.

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/14/2015 12:07:14 AM
rookie DL Trey Flowers walked off the field with some help from trainers

Out of towners can't watch the preseason, but your point is well taken, especially for the regular season twitter.com/jefbanks/statu…

That was a serious NFL caliber throw by Garoppolo.

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/14/2015 12:22:48 AM
Jonas Gray showed up to camp 10 pounds lighter, works hard and looks great. Legarrette Blount failed his physical and then hurt his knee

Tonight's WBZ trivia: Name the six teams with three or more Super Bowl appearances since 1996?

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/14/2015 12:34:24 AM
Logan Ryan burned badly for a 26 yard TD by someone named Jeff Janis. That's not gonna help him win a starting spot

by Ben Volin via twitter 8/14/2015 12:43:55 AM
Oh man, James White took a shot to the leg. Hope it's just a charley horse
