NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION ****** Other NFL Games Thread Week 1 ******

Gonna be tough in 4 weeks since we know NE is gonna want to run the ball a lot this year, and obviously Dallas has had zero success with the run game here. Will Mac be up to the task of trying to throw on Tampa?

The Cowboys aren’t trying to run though. They have only rushed 11 times if you take away Prescott’s two rushes.

run by passing? short quick pops to the back might help

Well, at least Dak is a legit QB and Cooper is an elite receiver. They’re gonna score points.

Imagine if Lamb wasn't sucking so bad...

 

[Ross12]

dak can do it all... except, really, win

Don't worry, they fired his loser coach and brought in a real winner... uh.. Mike McCarthy!! That'll change things.

Right, I am assuming they aren't trying because they don't see it working.

That fumble and bobbled pass for an INT by the Bucs' RBs really made this a close game. So far they're surviving it, in addition to those injuries to the secondary.

The Bucs will just use Fournette as a closer in the 4th...

Eh the Cowboys have had the same number of mistakes. Lamb's bobbled catch that he tipped up for an INT. Lamb's drops. Other mistakes.

It‘s week one. Too early to tell anything. Teams in week can look far better or far worse than they will for the rest of the season. The Bucs should be one of the best teams in the league, but there is no telling if Gronk, AB, or even Brady will be playing at this level come week 18 at their ages.

Besides, despite the scoreboard right now, the Cowboys have arguably been matching punch for punch with them.

It's tough seeing former players you supported succeeding elsewhere, after spending the vast majority of my teen years idolizing them and tying up my identity as a Patriots' fan in these players. Definitely feel a bit jealous/bitter, just as I would if I saw an ex running around with someone else.

Sooner or later mature adults learn it's OK for your ex to be running around with someone else and the only one you are making miserable over the situation is yourself.

Two big straight drops.

 

[Bill Lee]

Dropped - wow!

 

[VectorPrime]

goddamit

 

[SHOWTIME15]

The guy is 44 years old. Sooner or later he is going to hit the age wall. Let’s not act like it can’t happen this year. Not saying it will or even saying it is more likely than not, but it isn’t crazy to say there is a possibility that as the season goes along that age might finally catch up with Brady.

 

[Joker]

Godwin has ten drops tonight????

 

[PP2]

If ever there was a time for Dallas to capitalize, this is it.

 

[Ross12]

Watching Brady throw it deep still makes me feel a certain kind of way even after 20 years.

[Delicate Genius]

Harry and Agholor would have caught those.
