Heres' how I see this 2017 Pats team (until BB improves them cause he always does)

When they go against a strong defense, they will struggle to win, not struggle to score, but they will be slowed enough to be in a tight game

When they play an equally bad defense (like the Saints and Buccs), they will destroy those teams, cause the Pats offense will completely feast on those teams, and the Pats will get enough stops, cause they are just more well coached

Pretty good assessment. However, Winston can throw the deep ball and he is mobile so the Patriots defense can't handle a QB like that..

This comes down to NE pass rush and Winston to not get rattled. TB has a good offense and we just saw a really struggling offense in Car come in and walk all over this defense........ya know, it really doesn't matter when guys are wide open...so why am I continuing to talk about this....Bucs win Big...I'm out.

Shhhhhhh......don’t bother him. He’s in the middle of writing Derek Carr a “get well” letter but is on his 10th try because his tears keep messing it up.:mo:

hahaha.... So he's the new @HammerDown ?

It's rare for the patriots to lose 2 in a row, but that defense is really, really bad.

So i'm going crab leg potato salad.

Huge game for both teams. Tampa has something to prove on national TV and the patriots cant stop a pop warner team right now.

Who ya got?

Took the Bucs to win in my pick em pool. I was the only one, so I really hope it works out that way. Obviously most don’t think the Pats could possibly lose two straight. Could win me a $100. :hope:

we also thought they wouldn't lose to the Chiefs and Panthers (well, every sports talking head in Boston)... I tried to shove it up weei's throats (text line and call) but they didn't respond.. bastids

The bucs have scored a combined 10 points against the pats in the last three meetings. Sometimes it's not going to always be about talent. On three days rest both teams' defenses will be off but bucs had to work hard to beat giants they probably are going to come into this game a little off.

If the Pats can get a stop or two (and that is about all I can hope for) they might be able to build a lead that will cause Winston to gag just a bit more.

Of course Winston could have the game of his life like all the other QBs the Patriots have faced.

I'm going to go optimistic with scenario A.
