Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Bucs @ Pats

[festy1986]

Half could of been worse. Given how they drove down the field anyway I simply don't understand why they didn't go for it on 4th.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

One freaking TD

 

[Ununcle]

Why do I feel like this is a Superbowl? I know I shouldn't,,, but I do.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

After one half? Winner: Belichick.

One half remains. Go Pats.

Well at least it’s not going to be a 50 point blowout today or “3 hours of hell for Patriot fans” like some were predicting in the media. Brady definitely does not have his A game today so far. I wouldn’t count on that being the case in the second half.

I would have gone for it there btw on 4th and 2.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Have to turn Mac loose, with Tampa's banged up secondary. Not going to run on their front 7, I think.

This. Please.

If you told me a week ago that there would only be one TD at halftime, I would have been happy. If you then told me that TD belonged to NE, I would've said you're full of it lol

 

[Joker]

"yeah...I KNEW we'd have the lead at halftime..." Joe Pinnochio-ker

 

[RobertWeathers]

Couldn't have asked for a better 1st 1/2

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

If you were to tell me that the pats would be winning at half id take it. Still gotta cut those penalties and mistakes down but playing better than last week.

It took 21 years, but Brady has finally been exposed as a fraud

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Very fortunate to be up right now. We have to exploit Tampa losing yet another corner, feel like our pass rush is going to tire out eventually and Brady could settle in quite nicely in half 2. OL still a major concern

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Brady is going to be better in the second half. I've seen this script enough times. We need to be better too. On offense I mean.

 

[NashuaPats]

Bolden should not be playing any snaps on offense. Glorified special teams guy

He is a good pass blocker which we need right now.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

I really hope they're able to take advantage of Davis being out. The secondary is in shambles, they just gotta hold off the pass rush long enough...

It's a roll of the dice. The crappy Pats OLine versus a terrifying Bucs front 7, risking Mac's health every play.

Cliff?

 

[nabwong]

It’s a winnable game. They are out of cornerbacks. I wish we had James White. Can our OL hold?

 

[sb1]

Pats with minus 6 yards rushing in the half. I wish we could figure out a way to run the ball

 

[Pats2000]

No talent system QB obviously

Well, I'm curious. Many of Brady's "better second halves" were due to adjustments. Who makes those adjustments in Tampa? Is it just him...? I somehow don't see Arians and Leftwich pouring over info during halftime...
