Official Game Thread - Pat's @ Bucs

It's all set - had to disable a couple of services. Should be fine now.

I hear ya. Got work at 6:30 myself. Worth it.

Imagine Atlantic Time Zone folks - we are always wagged out !

The game will start at 3:25am local time for me.

heh...yeah...well I just wanted to drop in and say I'll be watching the entire spectacle from my couch....I'll check in late tonight to peruse the feathered carnage that is inevitable.

Brady will throw his first int of the season tonight perhaps. He got away with a few before but 5 games and no int is had to do. He is not throwing only 2 again over 16 games. Hell. 4 over 16 games would be insanely impressive.

I do think he beats his 9:1 TD/int ration from 2010 though over 16 games.

They need a quick start to this game. Good execution on offense!

 

[Tony2046]

Refresh my memory. Did Cannon play last week?

Yes he did.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

Would like to see dorsett do a little more. Tampa will try and take cooks out of the equation.

Bet $100 on the spread and you win $95, daaaamn feel like this is a good opportunity.

No reason that shouldn't happen. Looking back at it now I picked them to win 35-23. Even without Gronk as injured and bad as TB is 35 is probably on the low side to be honest. I think we will see wide open Hogan and Cooks for big gains (maybe TDs) at least 1 each.

And those are only the cheap and easy big gains. They will of course execute well and do well that way.

Final stats.

Brady 4 TDs 1 Int 370 yards
Cooks 1 TD 130 yard
Hogan 1 TD 100 yards
White 7 catches 50 yards 1 TD (most catches in the game)
Amendola 1 TD 50 yards
Mike Gillislee - 15 rushes 85 yards 1 TD.

Also on D I'll add in a Gilmore Int as well as sacks for Flowers,Wise andMarch

Pats win 41 TB 23

Defense: Don't be absolute ****.

OL: Don't get Brady killed.

Keys to the game. That's as scientific as I feel like being.

Grimes isn't what he used to be and Hargreaves is absolute trash. Both Cooks and Hogan should get a nice amount of open looks. If the OL can keep McCoy from dry humping Brady up and down the field, this should easily be a 30+ point game for the offense.

Faulk just picked us to win.

It's frustrating, but the "cmon" might be better served to describe those who lament a player of his all-world/alltime talent, effort, and (despite missing time) production.

Either way, it's frustrating. Is he not willing to play or is the team forcing him not to?

Availability is more important than ability.

I think they are going to try to keep the bucs offense off of the field. Run plays, screens etc... So I don't think we'll see a 41 point type game. Just a guess.

 

[Pats1989]

Atlanta is sandwiched in between Jets & Bolts. Win this & you have a great chance at least 5-3 by Halloween. Possibly 6-2.

Seriously. Give Brady a clean-ish pocket and he'll eat these guys alive.
