I so can't wait for our season to start. The anti-Patriots/BB/Mac talk in the national and local media is past tiresome.
maybe you should look at some of your BB posts in the Bucs thread…

LOL. I'm not anti-BB. I'm anti-bad coaching and GM decisions like benching Butler in a Super Bowl and telling the greatest QB who ever lived who has plenty left in the tank to hit the road.maybe you should look at some of your BB posts in the Bucs thread…

Some X's and O's:
Happy Friday everyone!!! Getting you all ready for today:

we don't know what led to the benching but i tend to think it was warranted. BB is not going to bench a player out of spite so there must have been a good reason. I don't think anyone knew Brady had THIS much left in the tank. History, age etc. would tell you that he only had a couple good years left...and he wanted out anyway (see Miami tampering). Anyone who says they thought Brady would play at a high level this long would be kidding themselves.LOL. I'm not anti-BB.

They have been waiting to crap on the Patriots for 20 years and the local media are notoriously bad. I think we have a dominant win this week against Miami and that should quiet everyone down. If not, then its more of the sameI so can't wait for our season to start. The anti-Patriots/BB/Mac talk in the national and local media is past tiresome.
So, last night...I started watching some saved games on the DVR from the 2021 season. My impressions:
Week 4 vs. the Bucs: OMG, we should have won that game easily. We couldn't run the ball at all...Mac was sharp except for 3-4 timely sacks he took and some bad penalties on Onwenu killing drives. Jon Jones was getting killed by AB...including a TD that was dropped by AB.
Week 6 vs. the Cowboys: OMG, we should have won that game easily...we were up with 2 minutes left...and the Cowboys having 3 TO's...but we only made them burn one TO before giving the ball back. Mac threw a bad INT and came back to Bourne for a great TD. But in the 4th and OT...Jonathan Jones was getting beat by Cee Dee Lamb...
Week 8 @ the Chargers: I was at the game personally...and looking for myself in the standings on TV...to no avail. That game was a lot tighter than I remembered...the D bailed us out that day and we put the game away nicely to pull to 4-4.
My overall impressions of these three games: The D was flying around....Mac was much better than I remembered...but still taking those drive killing sacks. The D was nothing like it was at the end of the season....I think our D just got gassed in the end...and some of our rookies like Barmore, Mac, and etc...hit the proverbial rookie wall. Barmore was moving bodies all over the place in the first half of the season.....
Up next...I have both Buffalo losses on the DVR....both where we didn't force a punt at all. Will post my thoughts when I re-watch them both before Sunday.
