Pats skin Washington 41-zip
Okay, so the Pats lost no-meaning game with our backups playing against the Giants last night. That's not the point. Everyone knows the goal of the last game of the pre-season is simply to make sure that your key players don't get hurt. The Patriots took it even a step further this year by not even sending Tom Brady to the game last night (protecting against the freak lockerroom accident apparently).
However, game 3, still overall meaningless, is still considered the main preseason game where you get a real feel for a team because the starters play the majority of the game. Well, game 3 this year brought the storied Washington Redskins to Foxboro. We had great weather to tailgate, unbelievable seats, and one dominating performance by the hometown team.
8 days to opening day against Buffalo. I'm starting to get chills now just thinking about it, so let's go to the pictures.

When we found our seats, we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in the FRONT ROW.
New definition of 'obstructed view' seats. Josh, you couldn't do any better than this shot? Next time I'm working the camera....
At the start of the game, still everyone smiling...
Halftime, 21-0 Pats. Still smiling....
Third quarter, Joe not so much smiling anymore. 
Fourth quarter, smiles from everyone but Joe. Great seats though eh?
We're number 1!

In defense of the 'skins, they're only playing about 2% of their playbook, with no motion, no shifts, no audibles. Meanwhile, the Pats audibled quite a bit, with no responding shift from the Redskins D. Good luck with showing most of your playbook when Buffalo and Miami take a look at the preseason game tapes.
...and yes, the seats were awesome. I had a great time, even with the final score being what it was.
