The Official Patriots vs Bucs game thread

Are you kidding? The bucs fan are excited and getting their hopes up because they be the Patriots in the preseason. This kinda crap is SB for those losers.

Postgame, Gisele is going to have to get banged up Tom to disrobe and have oils and salves rubbed all over his torso as she works her way determinedly downward, increasing her rhythmic...

Hopefully my lowpost count doesn't exclude me from offering any insight as post count is obviously an indicator of knowledge. But here are my low post count, dum-dum take from the 1st half.

Offense. No Vollmer. Basically no Mankins. No hurry up. A lot of play calling that seems atypical of regular season play calling. Not worried.

Defense. Vanilla D? I would like to think so. The problem is the D was pretty vanilla ALL of last year too. Meet the new D, same as the old D? I hope not, but I am concerned.

I don't think the offense has been as terrible as ppl are saying. Brady has not been great but come on is that really a concern? He will be fine by week 1. Ridley has been excellent running the ball and Soldier and Cannon have been a lot better. The pressure most of the time has come from the guards not picking it up and Thomas is not going to be a starter and I still think Waters is coming back at RG.

So what you are saying is that BB keeps throwing TB out there to get broken in half while he plays vanilla and Tampa throws the kitchen sink at him? Yeah that makes sense.

lol. At least he'll be chillin.

On a side note Russell Wilson has been dropping some bombs on Terrell Owens. Owens has dropped all of them.

All things considered, the replacement refs have done a fairly good job FOR PRE SEASON FOOTBALL, but in games that mean something, they would be constantly under a barrage from coaches.

One of the things that they seem to have a problem with is ball placement.
On a few occasions, just in tonight's game alone, they lose where the offensive player was before he got knocked back by the defense and are coming up a bit short on placing the ball in the right spot.

And, they also appear to be overly flag happy against the defensive secondary.

Lmao at the Belichick speak. You could see the reporter looking at him like "dude, are you serious?"

They are spreadin' em out. The O is meaning business this time around.
