Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Bucs beat the Pats

[Mack Herron]

Every week it looks increasingly that we are very fortunate to have this kid.

I miss when games were torrented because there were like 2 complete phantome holding calls on the pats, in the middle of good drives that stalled us. I can't prove it because I can't show it. Plus the call on Slater needs to be addressed because If players can box another player out of bounds that's a problem.

Agreed. No question Slater was unable to get by the gunners. Only problem I see is Slater should have tried to get back and show how he was blocked from doing so.

Not disagreeing with your post, but what, exactly, are your credentials?

Thoughts:

a.) From the coulda, woulda, shoulda dept:

1.) Harris' fumble in week 1.
2.) Jonnu Smith's deflected pass for an INT.
3.) Folk's figgie miss.

Flip those three plays...and this team is likely 3-1...maybe even 4-0....or at worst 2-2.

b.) We have lost 3 home games! We only have 6 remaining.

c.) On the bright side, we have lost two out of conference games and still only have 1 AFC loss which we can avenge in January in warm Southern Florida even with Tua back under center.

d.) Jones is already getting better and better.....

Week 1: 281 passing yards 1-0 TD/INT
Week 2: Only 186 yards, but Zach Wilson was stinking up the joint...no need to do anything more.
Week 3: 270 yards 1-3 TD/INT ratio...but cannot blame the latter 2 INT's (one being Jonnu's fault and the other being down two scores late).
Week 4: 275 yards 2-1 TD/INT ratio...like in week 3...tossed his 2nd INT under pressure by an in-your-face blitzer.

Cam Newton only threw for +269 yards THREE times last year...one @ Seattle, 1 versus the Jets, and another @ Houston. And Cam only had 1 game with more than 1 TD pass....(the season finale vs. the Jets).

e.) Unfortunately, the schedule still has some tough tough match ups left....

Dallas
@ L.A. Chargers
@ Carolina
Cleveland
Titans
@ Buffalo
Buffalo

Must win @Houston, NYJ, @Atlanta, @Indy, Jacksonville, and @Miami and go 4-3 in the above 7 games .

I think a 10-3 finish will do it....11-6......

I think everyone left on the schedule is beatable, but the Pats are going to have to play mistake-free football the rest of the way. If they can go toe-to-toe with Tampa, they can do the same with Dallas, LA Chargers, etc.

Agreed. No question Slater was unable to get by the gunners. Only problem I see is Slater should have tried to get back and show how he was blocked from doing so.

Even worse, when he was initially blocked out of bounds, the guy was still blocking him out of bounds...

I personally am homeless and hungry in search of food, but if you kept abreast of my positions:

- Mac Jones is the real deal (Oct'20)
- Pats missing a bonafide NT, GodChaux is not it (June'21)
- OLine is a mess. Play Trent at LT, Onwenu at RT, Karras at LG, stop playing Herron/Durrant
- Bentley is NOT the answer at ILB (July'21)
- Extend Gilmore, Pats need an elite CB1 ('July '21)

Which has nothing to do with the price of whipped cream in China.

You're calling out other posters for a lack of credentials, and that's just ridiculous on a f'ing fan message board. Your opinion isn't "superior," it's just YOUR opinion.

Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't. Welcome to the world! In my opinion, you were and are wrong about Michel's value to the team, but so be it.

Just, really, please don't do that. Have you played high-level football? Some people here have. Have you coached at a high level? If not, then whatever your job (my god), you're just a "construction worker" - whatever the hell that is supposed to mean in regards to a knowledge of football.

Deus from the Gronkaneers thread:

Tom Brady is going to finish the season still never having been the starting QB in a game where his team has already been eliminated before game time. Meanwhile, Belichick is goign to coach his 4th non-playoff season in 4 non-Brady seasons as the Patriots head coach.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Which h

Sorry if you missed the sarcasm. I've been spot on about the Pats for awhile now on a bunch of topics.

But yeah sorry I offended you, I know it's hard work being a construction worker, just not the best spot to be opining on draft or talent or franchise opinions about the Patriots. Or, do so but don't a d-ck, I love passion but will jump on people trying to gate-keep.

Thanks for your wise, sane words, Ross. Two qualities that have been in short supply on this board lately.

I’m not sure what I said, but you’re welcome! I think…

 

[jdlboot14]

OL is everything. We can't run lately because of bad OL, so we're 1-dimensional with Mac passing. But, he has little time and is getting pounded.. and not enough time for deeper routes. BB has to get over 1 fumble by a rookie in his first game, and get Stevenson back in. Same with JJ - you can't hold 1 fumble in rainy game against these young guys - because BB is the one that put together this young rebuilding team! So play the damn guys!! Get Bolden out of there, and get back to balanced play calls. Our D is starting to show signs. Bourne & TE's showed up last night. It's going to take time to build, but we have to capitalize on TEX this week or it's gonna be a long year.

 

[Ross12]

I’m actually just now considering how amazing it is that Mac was hit 14 times, only had an average of something like 2 seconds to throw, and still completed 78% of his passes. Imagine how he’d do with a competent line.

 

[carmelo15]

you have to be much happier this morning as a Pats fan than a Bucs fan…

As of now four people liked this nonsenses comical ya I wouldn’t be happy of a team coming off a championship with a GOAT qb, a injured secondary and 3-1.

 

[jdlboot14]

I just have point out how happy I was with Mac's 2 TD passes. They were finally real, Pats-style plays to TE's. The one to Smith was so early Pats dynasty, I was ecstatic. That's trust in Mac. They're not hand-cuffing him. We're really going to miss White though. Gotta get JJ to replace Bolden, and get him fully immersed asap.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Haha, I just read the Gronkaneers thread and they are making excuses as to why the game was so close...everything from refereeing to wet conditions.

Deus from the Gronkaneers thread:

There’s been some great football talk here for the last week. A lot of posters, including the “Tompa” posters brought a lot of insight about the game/gameplan. This is the first time I’ve watched a football game knowing both teams really well, so it was a great experience to see how the teams punched and counter punched.

None of the people you’ve claimed are “Bucs fans” have done anything except analyze the game and add insight. There’s been no TOLD YA SO! or anything like that. There’s been a high level of knowledge from many people…Patriots fans, homers, Brady stans…whatever. The discussions have been awesome.

As for you, though, it’s the same as always. Zero interest in understanding the game beyond a skin deep level. Lots of interest in trolling, tattling, stirring the pot…an insecure, petty man with absolutely zero insight.

Be a man and go to the thread, instead of whining like a *****.

Some of us are optimists. Hope your boy Carlton Davis is doing ok.

The problem I have with some of the posters is that they reside exclusively on the Bucs sub-forum...they rarely surface to the mainboard unless it has to do with Brady. Then you go and read some of the stuff like Carmelo or Deus write, it's pretty clear they are not Pats fans.

You want me to go to the thread and then you'll say I should be banned from that side of the forum...which is it?
