Hopeful they can fix the D but it is going to take time to get everyone on the same page therefore I picked Pats D still sucks, barely pull out a win in a high scoring affair.

Hope you're correct... However if Winston does what Watson did the defense is screwed...

Last second field goal will win it for the Patriots in a shoot-out

I think Dirt's right, Patriots get a little pissed, have a big chip on their shoulder, and Belichik usually out-does the opposition on short rest.

Teams that dont play a lick of Defense, a la the Saints and Buccs dont stand a chance vs the Pats.......Now i know the Pats tore up 2 good defenses in Carolina and Houston, but those teams got enough early stops, and applied enough pressure to build a lead, putting Tom in comeback mode

A team like the Buccs, I expect the Pats to play from in front from the word Go, and thats when the Pats are very dangerous (Chiefs game aside).......I could see them up 14-3 or something like that, and the Buccs playing catch up all game, and they wont get enough stops

Its been a pleasure talking to you

In a perfect world the Patriots would destroy the Buccs. But this is far from perfect and there defense is no where near perfect. Hell they aren't even at "horrible" status... They are at atrocious status... if they don't get any pressure on Winston it will be a long night

belichik sucks needs to go

he also coaches like shit.... Right @black francis

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

THATS ACTUALLY...FAIR.

I love the Bucs offensive talent, however, it's not all clicking right now. With that said, the Patriots D is not clicking either yet. I would NOT be surprised if this young Bucs Offense takes over the game. Patriots are as vulnerable as ever right now. With that said, I would NOT be surprised if Brady just plays his 40 year old heart out and has an epic game.

Ultimately, I think Brady leads the Pats on a game winning 4th quarter drive to win the game. 31-24.
