I live in the Boston area, so I managed to watch almost the whole game. I have to say, the Bucs do look like a significantly improved team. I don't think they'll be an easy win.

That said, Freeman to Vjax looked unstoppable on the first drive, but once the Patriots cleaned up their coverage a bit, Freeman looked average at best. Every receiver not named Vincent Jackson looked like garbage. Their offensive line looked good (we'll see how it looks after the injury to Joseph), and it appears they'll have a decent running game.

They were able to get lots of pressure on the QB that might be masking other holes in the defensive, and I don't believe their pass rush is that great. The Patriots offensive line in the preseason has been pathetic. Still the defense looks decent considering the Patriots offense is outstanding (when Brady gets to throw the ball).

So I do think we'll sweep them, but don't make the mistake of thinking they're the same unmotivated, unmitigated walking disaster that was the 2011 Bucs.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
