The Official Patriots vs Bucs game thread

Re: The Official Patriots vs Buc's game thread

This thread sucks more than the usual game day threads. At least those games mattered. I just read through here because I can't watch and some of these freakouts seem unbelievable. I can understand some criticism (the oline) but then saying everyone on the team sucks and they are going to fail is a little out there. I really wish I could see. I just have a feeling some are making it seem worse than it really is.

OK! Lets for a second pretend that our gameplan really is vanilla. How a about Tampas vanilla gameplan? Why is their vanilla working and ours sucking?

The Bucs are blitzing a lot and I am not sure if the Pats blitzed once. Their offensive game plan isn't really working any better than the Pats'.

Wonder if Brady is staring in the 3rd?

Randy Moss said he probably would.

Re: The Official Patriots vs Buc's game thread

Let us remember preseason is pretty much meaningless. If you're a Bucs fan do you care if you win or are you bummed you've lost 3 major studs in this game? Injuries are the only thing I am remotely worried about.

A preseason game thread is not a trauma center - keeping a cool head amidst a cluster***** is not a requirement. Have some fun with it.

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.

If you're actually watching the game and not trolling, do you think those exotic blitzes Tampa have been running are vanilla?

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.

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

"Have you heard anything about how the real Ref's negotiations are going?"

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?"

Well actually this was the 100th post so you make the cut now. Also good post I agree with it completely. I think the defense has shown well since the first drive. Gave up 2 long field goals to when Tampa had a short field.

And she'll blame the WR's...

Brady getting hurt would not be much fun
