Game #4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs NE Patriots 10/3/2021 8:30 PM EST NBC

Harry had made strides in his development prior to diving for a grab in Week 2 of the preseason and suffering damage to his shoulder. Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor are expected to remain starters, but Harry's presence could knock Kendrick Bourne's reps down a notch. It's a rotation to monitor beginning Sunday night against the Bucs.

Activated WR N'Keal Harry from injured reserve. Promoted DB Myles Bryant and LB Jahlani Tavai to the active roster from the practice squad.

NFL Network has a program each week call NFL Preview. They discuss each game and then have 10 guys pick the winner and give the point spreads.

9 of 10 picked the Bucs to beat the Pats and only had the win by 10 points. The rest were between 3 and 8. One had a Patriots upset 30-24. It was the frst game reviewed and pretty much said that the Patriots pass rush is one of the best with 9 sacks and pointed out that the Bucs tackles have had problems with speed rishers like Uche and Judon. It was an interesting 3-4 minutes of info that was unbiased and more factual than opinion. I decided to make it a favorite and record it weekly.

The issue is that Patriots' fans have become spoiled over the past twenty two years.

Prior to the first SB win in 2001 the Patriots had been to two SB and lost both. 1985 to the Bears and 1997 to the Packers. An entire generation is having a real problem coming to grips with a team that isn't even mentioned when there's a discussion of the playoffs.

My son made some new friends at college...of course...and I had the opportunity to meet one last night.
A kid from Buffalo.
He has been a Bills fan his "whole life".

So, he has been a fan of a team regardless of their successes or failures. He said to me that it was good to finally see the Bills and Pats on equal footing.


Ah...the good old days are here again!

...and they said I'd blown a seal....

Absolutely but that 22 year run was really impressive. I just hope it doesnt take 22 years before they are good again.

This looks really bad without any context.

At this point it's only a rumor...

1) Local was your word not mine

2) That and were are pretty simple in the context of the sentence.

Are you saying you are from KC? That's under your avatar. The question was fucking simple and there were no typos in that part...

Read the bolded parts... Why would anyone truly local to the Tampa area (I assume that were you are based on "meet a local that isn't a TB fan") give a shit about the Pats ever?

Wtf are you talking about?

Under my avatar it states “Location: Boston”. You have that turned off or something?

Haha. I never even noticed/knew you were from Boston

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is inactive for Week 4 against the Bucs.​

Stevenson remains a healthy scratch even with James White (hip) going on IR this week. The Patriots will go into Sunday night with J.J. Taylor and Brandon Bolden as pass game options behind Damien Harris. Bolden out-touched Taylor after White left last week and may be the safer bet for third-down work. The Patriots also declared OT Trent Brown, LB Ja’Whaun Bentley, TE Devin Asiasi, OLB Ronnie Perkins, CB Joejuan Williams, and CB Shaun Wade out for Week 4.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Here we go!

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Stevenson needs to get back on the field soon. This week maybe not against the 1st or 2nd rated run D. But next week no reason against Houston who struggles against defending the run.

 

[BigKen]

I hope I can stay awake.

I hope I can keep the pot roast down.

Wishin' and hopin'.

Oh yeah, Richard Sherman will start at CB for the Bucs. Maybe a target for Mac??

Not that it matters, but it's raining in Foxboro.

Bucs kickoff goes out of bounds and mac gets to start at the 40.

Here we go.

Wynn is garbage.. Burnt like toast left in the toasters for 15 minutes!

 

[BigKen]

Wynn screws the first drive and now Meyers screws the second by not pulling the ball into his body tight. Cannot lay an arm over the ball or it will end up on the ground. Incomplete pass is a gift.

3rd and 14.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Wynn sucks.

McCourty.... nice tackle...jeez

Gunner.... nice hands... wow

Meyers..... fumble....

Not going well

 

[cheerupcharlie]

It was a fumble

 

[BigKen]

Brady need 69 yards to break Brees' passing yardage record.

Run defense just plain sucks.

 

[BigKen]

Brady was just gifted the record.

 

[BigKen]

Best thing the Pats could do is force a FG.
