Well history is not on this team’s side after a super bowl loss. I expect the offense to be ok. Defense’s my main concern and what the secondary can do after Gilmore.

As always with the defense my main concern is health

I know Andy's position and I think you both have valid points. I think most would take Philly's D last year over NEs

I think all would take that Vikings D too other than that Philly game they were Good/Great all year..

It's said that Mitchell recently had a procedure done of his bum knee. It seems like he really wants to still play Football. But is that a really wise move at this point??

Shhh! We’re too busy *****ing about Bill benching a player 6 months ago!

Then DON'T FECKIN READ THAT THREAD.

The regular season D for sure. The sucked in the playoffs. Need to wonder how good they really were as they faced some ****ty offenses during the reg season

 

[RobertWeathers]

Brown looks like Phillip Finch from Wildcats

Mark Daniels just earned the most worthless quote of the year award regarding Gronk!

Thanks Captain Obvious!

The initial reports about it were more dramatic than they should have been. It sounds like a routine maintenance procedure. BB said yesterday that those reports were basically fake news. But I do agree, however, that he needs to get his butt on the field.

Looks like the Bucs season is already going down the tubes.

This is always a dumb talking point because it implies that there was some drop off the season after the Pats lost the SB. In 2008 Brady is lost for the season in the first quarter and the team still manages to go 11-5. If Brady was healthy with that roster we win the SB that year since the league was putrid. In 2012 we made it to the AFCCG without Gronk and Talib getting hurt at the start of the game and had a halftime lead and momentum until Welker dropped an easy first down and Ridley got knocked unconscious and fumbled. If Gronk and Talib are healthy we win that game.

So I don’t expect a drop off this year just because we lost the SB.

Can't avoid most injuries unfortunately, so my main concern with the defense is talent and the lack thereof, especially at backup/depth.
