Will Tampa go 17-0?

[CowboyRoy]

So you mean 20-0?
Highly unlikely.

Will they go undefeated buddy. Simple concept.

And no it’s never likely. Thanks for all your keen insight.

 

[Risen Star]

No but it will look like they will on Thursday night.

I don’t think you can go 17-0 with just a passing attack, you need a strong run game to carry it through the ugly stretches of Nov and Dec. TB had one of the worst run games in the league last year, a big reason they lost 5 games and got blown out in a couple of them.

15-1 1998 Vikings had an amazing Oline and Robert Smith balancing the team.

17-0 2007 NEP were 9th in total rush attempts, they were committed to maintaining a balanced attack despite how much they threw.

Their run game is good enough.

Brady has already gone 17-0

And all for nothing, he lost the SB.

 

[jazzcat22]

It could be 24-0, 1st quarter.

Yeah we can be up 24-0 very easily.

 

[GroundZero1970]

Tampa wont even be 1-0

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Their run game is good enough.

28th in yards last year, bringing back the same backfield. I don’t agree

 

[JBS]

And all for nothing, he lost the SB.

Definitely not all for nothing. Easily the best nfl team of the last 25 years

Check out the oline They make the running game work

New 3rd down back, fournette had full offseason and is healthy. Great oline returning. It’s plenty good enough with that passing game and that defense.

That run game was outstanding in the playoffs. Won the Sb with that run game.

Well this gets my vote for the dumbest thread of the day.

We had a great one last night about players and the coach alllowing them to….well you know lol.

I look at their team and they are better than us in EVERY way. I would even go as far as to say they have better pass catchers that we do, which is our biggest strength.

Its the only thing left for Brady to do. I would never doubt him.

Best part about football is we can still win on Thursday. As unlikely as that might be.

No.

By definition, this is false. They were AFC Champs. Only.

 

[JBS]

This means nothing

This means nothing

How does it mean nothing.

Your all time greatest team lost to a team that was lucky to make the playoffs, in a contest with the greatest stakes possible.

They are an afterthought to everyone except yourself.

 

[RoyalCowboy]

This question belongs in a buccaneers forum lol. I don't care about the Bucs, only my boys. Win or lose, rain or shine...I ride or die silver and blue.

They went 11-5 without him, the only 11 win team to miss the playoffs in the last 30 years.

The 2008 Patriots failed to win their division without Brady, the only time from 2003-2019 that happened.

And the 2008 Patriots were loaded as they went 18-1 the prior season.

They went 11-5 without Brady because they played the NFC West, one of the worst divisions ever (Cardinals 9-7, 49ers 7-9, Seahawks 4-12, Rams 2-14). The Patriots had one of the easiest schedules in history.

It’s all about the QB.

 

[JJHLH1]

They went 11-5 without him, the only 11 win team to miss the playoffs in the last 30 years.

The 2008 NFC West actually was the worst division in NFL history with a 22-42 record (.344).

Four easy wins for the Patriots and they still failed to make the playoffs without Brady.

Hard to go undefeated when you start 0-1.
