[thebestauntie]

Wood!head!!!
Haha, I was about to text you that. :thumbsup

[pathetic]

Hello, defense :thumbsup

[pathetic]

Holy shit. 85 just got lit up

[pathetic]

TD 85!!!! Way too easy

[dmbbearcat]

Chad!!! Hope he makes the team ;)

[pathetic]

Chad!!! Hope he makes the team ;)

:lol :lol

[thebestauntie]

Wow we were wrong, TB is still in there.

[dmbbearcat]

You guys will be - er - a little better than the Bengals. I'll have to do what I did last year. Root for the Bengals through week 3 and then switch to you guys when we're out of it.

Week 3 of preseason, that is. I feel dirty rooting for a Boston team, but whatever...

[thebestauntie]

Law Firm!!

[dduncan6er]

The defense is looking absolutely amazing.

[dmbbearcat]

It is only preseason, though. Of course, I also have no idea if Tampa is supposed to be fielding a good offense or not.

[dduncan6er]

Yea I know. I believe Tampa has most of their starters in though. The pass rush is looking awesome which we didn't see at all last year. The new guys are really looking good.

[pathetic]

Third down defense was horrible last year too. Looking good tonight

[dduncan6er]

I guess our offense is looking decent too.

[pathetic]

Elite!!!1!

[thebestauntie]

Hi my name is BenJarvus Green-Ellis and all I do is score touchdowns.

[dduncan6er]

They should have taken freeman out earlier for his own safety.

[dduncan6er]

Butler is awful. I don't see any way he makes this team when dowling comes back.

[pathetic]

Carter is unblockable tonight

[dduncan6er]

The announcers are practically creaming their pants describing the defense.:lol

[dduncan6er]

And he's white? :confused

Carter isn't white. You must be looking at a different guy.

[thebestauntie]

Carter isn't white. You must be looking at a different guy.
Don't know what you're talking about.

[pathetic]

I wonder what kinda bounty wilfork got for that hit. 20k? Jewelry? Prostitutes?

[dduncan6er]

Laser show!!!!1!

[dduncan6er]

Don't know what you're talking about.

I'm lost.:lol

[thebestauntie]

I wonder what kinda bounty wilfork got for that hit. 20k? Jewelry? Prostitutes?
I think the answer to that is, yes. :lol

[thebestauntie]

I'm lost.:lol
Clearly, see below.
Laser show!!!!1!
Wrong thread? :lol

[dduncan6er]

Good chance to work the 2 minute offense here.

[pathetic]

:lol laser show

[dduncan6er]

Clearly, see below.

Wrong thread? :lol

possibly. I could be talking about Brady throwing lasers everywhere though.

[pathetic]

Perfect first half.

[thebestauntie]

Am I the only who thinks Mallett should have a mullet? :lol :lol

[dmbbearcat]

I saw his big ugly ass play in high school. Dude had a cannon even then.

[thebestauntie]

But did he have a mullet?

[dmbbearcat]

No, I don't think so.

[rickyh24]

Just watched the highlights. lol at Buc's players dancing in the end zone after a pick 6 that got them to within 3 TD's.

[smudge1]

Just watched the highlights. lol at Buc's players dancing in the end zone after a pick 6 that got them to within 3 TD's.Yeah...70-80 different players tonight for the Bucs.:rolleyes

[rickyh24]

It's too bad all those different players couldn't play at the same time. Then maybe they would have stood a chance.

[dduncan6er]

What the fuck was Woodhead doing out there with 5 minutes left to go? No name scrubs are just looking for a chance to pop guys that are established players. He probably got a concussion and he just had one at the end of last year too. That's not a good thing at all.

[pathetic]

dirty blow right there...

[dduncan6er]

dirty blow right there...
It was. But he shouldn't even be in the game at that point. Guys that probably won't be making the squad will do shit like that to try to make an impact and get noticed by the coaches.

[pathetic]

It was. But he shouldn't even be in the game at that point. Guys that probably won't be making the squad will do shit like that to try to make an impact and get noticed by the coaches.

yeah i agree with that. a guy wants to put a big hit on him there. bill should've known better than having woodhead returning a punt in the 4th quarter in the 2nd preseason game...slater or edelman would've been a better choice

[dduncan6er]

I don't think Edelman played, but yea Slater would have been a much better decision. I hope Haynesworth pays next week. If he returns to anywhere near his 2008 form this defense will be terrifying.

[dduncan6er]

Ocho's post game presser:

Q - "Why no celebration on your TD?"

Ocho- "I play for Coach Belichick".

[pathetic]

I don't think Edelman played, but yea Slater would have been a much better decision. I hope Haynesworth pays next week. If he returns to anywhere near his 2008 form this defense will be terrifying.

i'd be great to see him back in prime form. he hasnt practiced since 8/4. i have no clue what's going on with him

Awesome article. Best Part of it:
•Was the pressure generated by the front seven also good as it looked? Oh yeah. I had the Patriots for 10.5 quarterback pressures, eight quarterback hits, two sacks, one knockdown and three holding penalties (all drawn by Andre Carter). I keep those all separately, so a sack doesn’t count as a QB hit. That’s 23 total quarterback pressures on 23 drop backs (including three holding penalties). That is an unreal number. I think I counted three plays the Buccaneers blocked properly, and the first didn’t come until there was 10:55 left to play in the first half.

[hbktonyb]

Can't see you not going 14-2 again...

[dduncan6er]

Can't see you not going 14-2 again...
Yea I'd say 15-1 or 16-0 is a more safe prediction.

[pathetic]

Can't see you not going 14-2 again...

it would be amazing if they did. maybe even a bigger accomplishment than last year..

the tough stretch from oct 9th to dec 12th has the pats vs NYJ, vs Dallas, @ Pitt, vs NYG, @ NJY, vs KC, @ Eagles, vs Indy.

is there a team in the NFL with a tougher stretch?

[dduncan6er]

We play Dallas at home I believe.

[dduncan6er]

You have all those games backwards actually. But regardless that's a very tough stretch.

[pathetic]

We play Dallas at home I believe.

lol ya for some reason the site i pulled that from had the home teams listed first. confused me.

fixed but a tough fucking stretch

[dduncan6er]

Another pretty weird thing about the schedule, we only have 4 1:00 games the whole season.

[pathetic]

a lot of people want to see the best team in prime time!11!

[dduncan6er]

Skins, Broncos, Fins, Bills last 4 weeks. :lol

That is tough, but I can't see you losing your first few or last few games. You'll lose one to us, and 1 to someone else. I'd say 13-3 is a safe bet, but probably 14-2.

[dduncan6er]

Patriots will not lose to the Jets this year. You heard it here first.

[hbktonyb]

Patriots will not lose to the Jets this year. You heard it here first.

Lol, ok. It's not like we've ever beaten you before so why think we would beat you this year, amirite? :rolleyes

[dduncan6er]

The Patriots teams the past 2 years aren't as good as the team is this year. Just watch.

[hbktonyb]

The Patriots teams the past 2 years aren't as good as the team is this year. Just watch.

I agree with this. The Pats D will be much better this year and Ocho just gives Brady another weapon. I actually don't think Ocho will be that huge of a factor because I really don't think it matters who the receiver is for Brady...he's that good.

But the Jets will be at least as good as last year (if healthy). If Revis and Cro stay healthy and are able to cover like they did in the playoffs last year, that will allow us to pressure and confuse Brady. I think we match up well to you. I could easily see a split.

[dduncan6er]

I don't blame you for believing that. But I really think this team is going to be scary good. I think the Jets got slightly worse because I don't think Burress gives them the production that Edwards did. I also doubt LT gives you guys anywhere near what he did last year. The Patriots D is going to be downright scary this year I think, and I don't see the Jets being able to move the ball against it like they did in the playoffs last year.

[hbktonyb]

Well I think their D will be good, but scary...really?

[dduncan6er]

Well I think their D will be good, but scary...really?
The D-line is going to be downright amazing. And Mayo is going to have room to roam and blitz more than years past. The corners will be much better than last year with Bodden coming back and McCourty having another year under his belt and hopefully Dowling will be able to slide in there as the nickel back too. Every aspect of the D is looking much better than last year and that was the Patriots major downfall last year.

[rickyh24]

Tampa apparently doesn't get the helmet to helmet thing. The hit on Ocho and Woodhead were dirty as hell.

[rickyh24]

Why should we buy into the Jets being at least as good as last year? If anything after this off season I think they got a little worse.

[pathetic]

Jets def aren't as strong as they were last year. i respect the fact they are a tough team though. they'll be 2 tough wins, but i'm confident that we'll beat them

[smudge1]

Tampa apparently doesn't get the helmet to helmet thing. The hit on Ocho and Woodhead were dirty as hell.Youngest team in the league. Give them some time. They'll eventually learn the rules.:lol

[pathetic]

i still cant believe that pass rush last night. all without haynesworth, ellis, wright, spikes, and cunningham. very impressive

[rickyh24]

They should probably just get used to doing it without Haynesorth. DLine will be nasty either way. I don't see him working out at this point.

Sanchez is one year better, and after his playoff performance last year he is ready to break out. I think whether the Jets are better or not will pretty much depend on how much Sanchez has matured from last year to this year. I understand the Braylon/Plax comparison, but we don't really know what Plax is yet. He looked great in practice this week and gives Sanchez a big time red zone receiver. LT is a year older, but Greene is ready to step up as the #1 back. We got younger on the line, still have some great LB's. Secondary will be better - Revis has a full camp, Cro has something to prove, and Leonhard is back from injury. I def. would not say they are worse, unless Sanchez sucks this year which I doubt.

i was talking to a vendor here and he said he heard a report that Haynesworth sexual harrassment case in DC isnt going over well and Bill won't let him do anything. not sure how true this is, but it would make sense

there were actually idiots calling into WEEI (like every year) saying what Justin says (dmbstandup4334324) "tom brady is a system qb, we saw what hoyer and mallett could do wk 1 preseason. trade tom"

i guarantee if the pats dropped wk 1 this season there would be some of the same dumbasses calling in

:lol I knew this would be your basis for the Jets being better than last year.

[pathetic]

:lol I knew this would be your basis for the Jets being better than last year.

sanchez will be better when he adds another throw besides a 3 step slant and a PA fake to the right side

[rickyh24]

Sanchez is going to get better ever year. Eventually he will be in the hall next to Montana, Brady and Elway. Ever think that just maybe there is a chance that what you see is pretty much what you get??? Banking on him getting better does not convince me in any way that the Jets may be better this year. I expect them to be slightly worse. I would be happy as a Jets fan if they somehow turn out to be as close to as good as they were last year.

Why didn't you quote my entire post? Oh, I know, because it mentioned that as Sanchez improves, so do the Jets. And I stated other reasons why I think they could at least match last year.

I'm a depressed Jet fan, I'm not a dummy :lol. As I stated, I really think the Pats will go at least 13-3, lose once to the Jets, and we'll see what happens in the playoffs. Hopefully a repeat of last year :lol

[rickyh24]

It wasn't necessary. I read it and if Sanchez getting better is what you are hanging your hat on then I am fine with that. The Jets got worse on paper.

But rex guaranteed a super bowl victory. And when has he ever been wrong before???

[hbktonyb]

Rex never guarantees a superbowl. He just says he believes and expects he'll be there...

Don't be bitter because we've been better than you for 2 straight years.

[dduncan6er]

What would we be bitter about? You've won the same thing as us the last 2 years. Nothing.

[hbktonyb]

True that, sucks not winning the SuperBowl. Doesn't take away that we've been better than you for 2 years running now.

[dduncan6er]

I guess you can take your small victories. Every match up between these 2 teams seems to be the Jets superbowl so I guess you could even say the Jets have 3 superbowl victories the last 2 years.

[rickyh24]

True that, sucks not winning the SuperBowl. Doesn't take away that we've been better than you for 2 years running now.

i still have not heard any bad stuff about bodden. all i keep hearing is the team is excited to have back a solid corner... stats aren't always what they seem to be. he's played well in NE and if he can play like he did in 2009 i'll be happy.

Yep I'm sure at least one or two will leave us scratching our heads.

[pathetic]

Yep I'm sure at least one or two will leave us scratching our heads.

who do you think is more likely to be cut, merriweather or tate?

[dduncan6er]

Probably Tate. I think Merriweather is safe because they cut Sanders.

[pathetic]

Probably Tate. I think Merriweather is safe because they cut Sanders.
Tate was supposed to step up and be Randy Moss when Moss left. he's been decent, but he was really strong in special teams. he's one of the guys that might get fucked over because of that new dumb kickoff rule

[dduncan6er]

I've never really cared for Tate too much. He has an absolute highlight reel catch and run last year, but i forget who it was against. At this point I'd rather see them keep Price around than him.

[pathetic]

oh yea, i prefer price as well. tate will be decent somewhere else though.

[dduncan6er]

Yea I think so. He's still really young. You decide if you're coming to Randall's yet?

Yea I think so. He's still really young. You decide if you're coming to Randall's yet?

there's prob 10 safeties released this week by teams, must be someone out there.

[CrashDMB237]

Jets just traded a safety to the Jags for a pick so speculate away! I don't think he'll be a Jet because he's gonna want to start and IMO I don't think he would for us. If he wants to split reps? Come on aboard!

Bears picked him up. Good move. They need safety help

Awesome start to the article.

Armando Salguero isn't a homer actually, he just writes about how "bad" other teams are while disregarding how bad the team he covers actually is. He is a huge Jets hater, admittedly. And it's pretty clear he's a Pats hater too. I'm pretty sure there is a Facebook group dedicated to trying to get him fired that I got invited to after he retweeted me once :lol

[rickyh24]

Do you think he would be picking the Dolphins to beat the Pats if he didn't write for the Miami Herald?

[pathetic]

"i'm not a homer but i think a team that is maybe the worst in the divison and a bottom 5 team in football will beat the patriots" what i read

Do you think he would be picking the Dolphins to beat the Pats if he didn't write for the Miami Herald?

No, I'm just saying he never really applauds the Dolphins, in fact he rags on them a lot. I think he's just one of those guys who has been a life long Dolphins fan (I'm assuming by the Spanish name, n/r) and since his team has been so irrelevant for the past three decades he decides to take it out on the two other teams in the division that have been making noise combined for over a decade now.

I don't want to get anything twisted here, so here: Salguero is a huge douche with very little football knowledge.

[rickyh24]

:lol That's pretty much what I gathered from it too.

:lol yeah, i agree that ESPN needs to name them something other than experts. their position is an ESPN analyst, not an expert....it's so dumb when they show their resume's too.

"The receivers corps? If you don't include the tight ends, they're below average. With the tight ends, they're good."


:lol This is such trash. Take Peterson out of the Vikes backfield and they have no running game.

[CrashDMB237]

Yea Armando, Ochocinco, Welker and Deion Branch are a very blew average receiving corps...

What a dope.

If you take Chad Henne out of the QB situation in Miami they are really not that bad at that position.

[pathetic]

That doesn't even look like me. :p


this is what i imagine you looking like now since it's been ages since you said you'd buy me a beer for my promotion.

Hahahahahahahahaha. Yeah, I don't see that happening.

[TempHelpNeeded]

So LA likes the Packers? And how about the Manning info?!

[thebridge15]

Mccourty, mayo, wilfork, Brady and mankins captains.I'll allow it.

[pathetic]

there's been atleast 3 people call in to WEEI saying they've had the same surgery as manning and dont see how he could ever play again. 1 year until fully healthy and atleast 3-6 months in a neck brace.

that's not good

It kind of sucks to see this happen to Manning. I mean I hate the guy but you never wish injury on a player and the Brady Manning rivalry is great for the game.

[pathetic]

he's the second best QB i've ever seen take the field. it'd be a shame if he doesnt play again. i doubt that will happen, but it'd be a shame.

also i heard a report on WEEI today that the colts have a loophole out of his 100M contract

[thebridge15]

I kinda feel bad with how much the Colts are a joke now.

i live and die by Henne.

[dduncan6er]

I can see wake causing some serious issues on the outside tonight.

[pathetic]

caller on WEEI just said, "this win meant a lot more for baltimore than it would've for pitt. it's one game, it's prob gonna end up being a split. it's like baltimores superbowl"

[pathetic]

Haynesworth might not play because of an illness

I wish I could just not go to work because I'm fat and don't feel like doing anything.

:lol i was hungover and shit this morning, i wish i could've emailed my boss and said, "i dont feel that well, i'm doubtful for work today"

[smudge1]

Haynesworth might not play because of an illnessWelker is playing though..right? Trying to decide between him and Reggie Bush for tonight.

[thebridge15]

:lol i was hungover and shit this morning, i wish i could've emailed my boss and said, "i dont feel that well, i'm doubtful for work today"I'm like Brady. I've been probable to do anything on any given day.

[pathetic]

Welker is playing though..right? Trying to decide between him and Reggie Bush for tonight.

what's it say for welker's status. from everything i've heard, him playing tonight wasnt even questioned...

[smudge1]

what's it say for welker's status. from everything i've heard, him playing tonight wasnt even questioned...he's playing. I guess he had a neck issue earlier this week.

[pathetic]

he's playing. I guess he had a neck issue earlier this week.

yeah he took a hit in the last preseason game that shook him up a bit. i'm sure he's fine, but i haven't heard anything saying he is even questionable. it'd be smart to start welker over bush

[dmbredsox36]

he's the second best QB i've ever seen take the field. it'd be a shame if he doesnt play again. i doubt that will happen, but it'd be a shame.

Yeah not sure where I read it, but I saw something similar to this. He'll get some guaranteed money, but if this neck thing is actually even more serious then we think, if he sits out this season on IR and then they cut him next training camp (I know it's crazy, but still) then they'd get out of it. Or maybe there's an even easier way that I haven't heard of yet.

The team should tank (which won't be hard) and then take Luck with their draft pick.

[smudge1]

yeah he took a hit in the last preseason game that shook him up a bit. i'm sure he's fine, but i haven't heard anything saying he is even questionable. it'd be smart to start welker over bushyeah, I'm on the fence on this. Their projections are the same and I'm wondering if Brady will be looking for Ocho more than Welker.

Who knows. I try not to make predictions week 1. Anything can happen really.

[artiej1120]

This game going over 45 points?

I'm taking the under. 24-14 Pats seems about right.

[dduncan6er]

This game going over 45 points?
I'd take the over.

[hbktonyb]

Took the over. Screw it.

[rickyh24]

:lol :lol

[dduncan6er]

I'm hoping they lineup with 3 TE's a lot tonight to give Solder and Light help with Wake.

[smudge1]

I'm gonna start getting drunk.same here.:lol

[dduncan6er]

Spikes inactive tonight.

[dduncan6er]

Haynesworth out there warming up. Looks like he'll be playing.

:lol Fergie is a limited partner with the Dolphins?

[clayj41]

Ricky,

Please tell Ocho and the Law Firm to combine for approximately 30 fantasy points. Also tell the D to let Reggie Bush score at will.

kthnxbai
