is that a bad thing? I like low scoring games.

not to me. but i think the NFL likes more scoring.

OL needs to show something on this drive.

.

Makes you wonder what BB wants to see from tonight's game.

Players on the bubble, different groupings etc.

who abducted the d-line from last week? or was the bucs o-line that bad?

Vanilla 34 d with some backups tonight vs an aggressive semi-scheming 43 with starters last week

 

[Rob0729]

They are playing extreme VANILLA Defense tonight. They had more schemes in the last two games.

I understand that, but I am seeing a lot of players looking to be going through the motions. Vanilla or not. They should be putting in the effort. Many guys look to be going at half speed.

No. This is the Lions' Super Bowl.

Light benched?

Wilfork is playing....and a bunch of names on the back of shirts every other play...this is all just evaluation...like a freakin' scrimmage

 

[Mark12]

It's obvious that the Patriots are not using their full playbook. Bill Belichick is evaluating the personal no need to panic.

 

[Rob0729]

Light benched?

I assume this was the plan all along. Light in the first. Solder in the second.

Bad calls
Bad game plan
Plain old BB vanilla
Get the starters outta there before more get hurt

Yep. Patriots are at a scrimmage, the Lions are at the Super Bowl.

Just been rushing four guys all night. They finally sent a 5th and get a sack. Brady looks off tonight.

 

[cavtroop]

Both T tonight are really having issues with the speed rush.

 

[TriplecHamp]

Offensive line is no bueneo

 

[lamafist]

Vollmer turnstiled again.

 

[PatsBoy12]

I really really really really really really want Brady out of this game ASAP!

 

[DefenseRules]

These officials are getting on my nerves.

 

[Jangles]

Brady can't even plant his feet before the rush gets to him

this sucks

 

[Ununcle]

Our O line is getting man handled as much as our D line.
