Hopefully we get to see the starters play more this game. Brady and OchoCinco in the Tampa heat.

Go Pats!!!

Defense is looking like a dream come true so far in the 1st quarter

I don't know the deal with Haynesworth, or when Ellis will be ready to come back. But so far, this defensive line has looked great without them. Some good pass rush from the new guys, Anderson and Carter.

Gotta feel bad for Brett Lockett, he was on the bubble to make this team and it looks like he pulled his groin.

You worded it like this so it could be set up for a Kardashian joke, right?


Hopefully Andre Carter doesn't use up all the gas he has left, he's looking incredible out there.

Ohhhh right, I forgot he was that guy.

Yeah Carter has been **** sick

Other first half thoughts
-Ochocinco took a bad hit to start off the night for him. But rebounded with a TD.
-Running game looks pretty good.
-Nate Solder is looking nice, unlike TB's left tackle. I feel comfortable with him in there so far.

Buccaneers look worse than the Jags last week. Lets get these back ups some playing time in the second half.

Well...lets see how mallet reacts to this.

Hopefully the Dane Fletcher injury is short-term, he's only been getting better and figured to have a big year

The kickoff rule needs fixin, it isn't gonna work the way it is.
I get they're worried about injuries, so I'm okay with bastardizing it to some degree, but kickoffs were an interesting part of the game
Maybe only have them coming out of the halves? At the old distance of course

These announcers are horrendous. I'm all for them being homers, but alteast know the home team.

****, I missed it, what was it?

Kick-offs suck now. We've seen 7 kick-offs, and only once did someone take it out, I believe.

Even with the fumble, Ridley is a beast.

Something with his thumb.

Butler's been looking good and he's had a few chances for big screwups. That's delightful.

It's getting pretty chippy out there.

-Mallet looks solid. Not as good as last week though. His big mistake was that pick six.
-RIDLEY!! I mean he fumbled, but damn he must have over 100 all purpose yards this game.
-Koutovides got a sack. I wonder if this guy makes the team. He'd probably be able to show off more of his skills more if kickoffs weren't a joke.
-Woodhead just took a BAD hit. Wow, I think I coulda heard that in the other room. He got right back up, but ****, I don't think he should be on the punt coverage team this late. The trainers took his helmet away, smart.

Ugh. And that's all she wrote for the Danny Woodhead career.

Pretty blatant helmet to helmet there

And the little bastard keeps on tickin, the legend grows.

Tampa Bay is a bunch of chumps I've come to realize. Cheap shots and celebrating over things you shouldn't be celebrating over.

Good win.

Buddy Farnham is my guy this pre-season. I would love to see make the practice squad. He plays both ways, a real hustler. Love that guy.

Cheap shot on Woodhead. Ridley though...
