The Official Patriots vs Buc's Game Thread

Collins looks like a stick compared to Mayo, Spikes, Hightower. Wow

I like that Ryan is getting some PT. Is Aqib okay, though. We've seen mostly Dennard playing the LCB spot in the second half it seems.

Considering how this game was after the 1st Q with the stadium booing over a 3 nothing score, this is a good turnaround.

 

[DefenseRules]

What the hell was that?

 

[chasa]

Why? No one knows.

it probably had something to do with his 3 ypc average.

What exactly should the Pats be doing up by so much with so little time left?

Get first downs?

They ran the same play 4 straight times.

He also seems faster than all of them as a result. I think they'll use him primarily on passing downs as he can rush the passer and is reportedly really good in man coverage.

Ryan isn't looking too hot....

Garbage yards undoing a fine defensive performance. Why Bill?

 

[Brady6]

I wonder if B B would have taken his foot off the gas for anyone other than his good friend schiano....BS....

Who is #92? I have not seen a player with that number in at least 2 seasons :lol:

 

[BadMoFo]

So Belichick calls a dumb end to the game out of respect of his friend, who then goes for deep passes to end the game. Real smart.

Yeah, and did you notice how much time they chewed up in the process? That's all it's about now. The Bucs aren't all of a sudden going to explode to tie or win the game.

Looks like the Pats are going to give the Bucs garbage time points with much of the first defense done for the game.

 

[YearbookCurfew]

Let's just get the W and avoid injuries.

As far as I know he's ok. A lot of defensive starters are out of the game.

 

[Brady6]

He is well put together though.

I have a question, when Brady says 51 is the mic or whatever he says, is that the defensive player trying to blitz and he is changing the protection on the offense ?

That's Mike, as in middle linebacker.

Guys are supposed to make their own reads based on that.

 

[PatsBoy12]

I just saw Talib. That's a good thing. I got a little nervous for a moment.

 

[Mountain_Commando]

I made the mistake of expecting the offense to be the same even though there were so many changes because we have Brady. He's human just like the rest of us. He needs time to gel with his new teammates. They need time to gel as a group. We expect our QB to be patient. I think we fans need to be patient too. So I'll take the baby steps.

Definitely. In a way, it's almost good that Gronk/Amendola are out, because it forces the rookies to step up. And luckily, our first three opponents have been mediocre.

The rooks are already showing promising progress. If they can continue to improve (baby steps), and then we add in Gronk/Amedola/Vereen, then watch out!

 

[Fencer]

Are we worried that Wilfork started the game being pushed around again?
