The official Patriots vs Bucs pre-season game thread

[PATSNUTme]

Please post all your comments, thoughts, knee jerk reactions, pre, during, and post game in this thread.

Last week was a fun game to watch. This game we should see more of the 1st sting player against a that improved greatly last year.

As always, let's hope for a good showing and no injuries.

What's the over/under on how many fans tonight will curse out the Pats and swear to abandon the team?

Oh wait, it's not regular season yet.

I seem to recall exactly that happening last year after the Rams game.

My disappointment at not seeing Edelperson is more than made up for by my excitement to see GRONK abuse the Buccaneers.

I was more looking forward to seeing Price again, but I've been waiting to see Gronk since the first day of TC hearing about him abusing everyone.

Will this game be on TV?

Live only locally.

NFLN replay at 11PM ET tonight.

Word is that Brady will play for about a quarter - more or less, depending on # of snaps - the Mallett will take over and get an extended number of snaps.

Hoyer to see little, if any action tonight.

My guess is . . . if Mallett excels tonight, then Hoyer becomes trade bait.

Didn't that happen during the 1st quarter of the game last week...

Good news for us hosers, Sportsnet East (260/416 on Shaw) has the game on LIVE and in HD, lol, no laptop feed for me tonight!

So probably only 4 or 5, then?

Just wait until the next time someone gets hurt. Then there will be a bunch of fans furious that Belichick lets players take the field during the preseason.

Tampa Bay inactives:

WR Arrelious Benn, CB Myron Lewis, CB Aqib Talib, S Ahmad Black, TE Luke Stocker, DT Roy Miller, DT Brian Price

Unfortunately, NLFN is not even doing the spin around the league where it cuts in to various games, so those of us out of town are screwed.

But, we do get the Argonauts versus Roughriders game.

So, even though the game hasn't started yet, and I can't watch it anyway, kindly allow me to get the ball rolling.

This team is pathetic and repulsive. We can't play like this and have any chance. I"m disguisted. Where's the pass rush? Oh well, can't make the playoffs every year. 8-8 here we come. Are the Jets mailing it in like this? Disguisting.

This is absolutely right-- we had a shot on Maybin and didn't go for it. We've got no pass rush, no pass rush. Brady hasn't looked the same since the injury. Everyone is made of glass, by the way. Offense can't score without Weiss... er McDaniels... er....

So then, rather than actually watch the game, I ought to just start drinking and consider the season lost?

They ought to put in a series of diving board off the Tobin bridge, with a roll booth at the entrance for all the schizo Pats fans. They'd make a killing during pre-season.

Streaming the game then dvr the nfln replay @ 11pm. interested in seeing the DE combinations, how will Fletcher be used, seeing Gronk after what we have been hearing from camp.

How will the spots be determined on both the OL & DL.

I wanna see Darryl Richard make the team.Rooting for him.
