We don't match up with Tampa good at all.
They are superior in all facets of the game, Offense, Defense, Special Teams, & Coaching.
I look for their Dline to manhandle the weak links of our Oline, Williams, Biadasz, and whoever is backing up Collins. Suh and Vita Vea will manhadle Collins and Biadasz. Their DEnds and LBs will reak havoc on Dak trying to take advantage of his rustiness.
I see their offense pounding our week Dline interior with Fornette and establishing the run early. Brady is still coming off the knee surgery so I think they will run heavy. Then they should have success passing because their 3 WRs outmatch our CBs.
I'm hoping we at least keep it somewhat close, I just don't see us hitting our stride until a few games into the season.

Well! It was a great season everyone! Goodnight everybody!

In all seriousness, Our defence doesn't matchup great, but there's a way to solve every problem. I think Nashon Wright actually matches up well against Evans. He matches Evans in size and had a nice camp and preseason. Diggs should be able to handle their 1 WR (Godwin is his name I think). Lewis can handle their slot WR. So, that should help there. If Parsons can get after the QB like he did in the preseason, that'll be invaluable. If there's one thing that Brady struggles with, it's constant pressure and getting hit alot.

On offense, not turning the ball over will be key. I think we'll move the ball fine. Running the ball is going to be very important here. If you're facing a blitz, running the ball can be very helpful. We probably are going to need a big game from Zeke.

Dak is in mid-season form according to McCarthy.(one of the dumbest comments I have heard).We also upgraded our DT and Signed a proven CB. Oh Wait??

Dallas can win this game.
we can't give brady extra possessions.
so if we dont turn it over or have alot of empty possessions...we have a shot.
if we can get pressure on brady...not necessarily sacks but just harass him most of the night...we can win.
just because they are the defending champs doesn't mean it unfolds the same way as last year.
its a game we can win.
as long as we don't play stupid.

I’d much rather this was a week 8 game with the new defense, all the player additions, the oline and Dak had 7 games under their belt together. It might be bad, but its only 1 game and I expect this team to improve each week IF HEALTHY.

its not so much their defense that worries me. when a good defense meets a good offense, usually they end up somewhere in the middle.....so we will have some wins. their defense will have some wins...normal course.

its their offnese against our defense that worries me....they have Evans, Godwin, Brown....three #1 recievers. Brate and Gronk....and Brady at the helm.....and we have inexperienced secondary.....I like Diggs, but he gave up a lot of deep plays last year....he did well against weaker opponents but got owned against better WRs. lets not forget he is only a second year player. and who is manning the other spot? a rookie or brown? neither is good...

they will pick our defense apart. we may make 1 stop. 2 stops...but then give up a big play....we won't be able to keep them down....and you are not going to go from bottom feeding to average or above average defense in one off season, no matter how much you tried to change...

and the defensive collapse, will put pressure on the offense, make us one dimentional and that plays right into their hand....they have a lot of pass rush up front and we may make 1 play, 2 play but then collapse in crucial times...their defense is just too good against a one dimentional offense.

they key for us and its a long shot, is pass rush and some ability to collapse the pocket from the inside, since Brady is the master of stepping up in the pocket, by an extra second and make those throws....and then our ability to run the ball and shorten the game and reduce their number of possessions...

I am sure when we lose all Dak haters will point fingers...its inevitable.

What’s the current line? Tampa 7.5? Let’s just say they cover that.

Just a real real tough opener.

For any team going into Tampa.
