Great TFB shot from tonight’s game.

I was gonna write a post game wrap up post but I just love this picture of Tommy too much to take it down. So here’s my wrap up. It will be brief.

The Patriots Football Machine is alive and well in Foxboro. I don’t know who wasn’t dressed tonight, but the ones who played looked fairly dominant on both sides of the ball.

Andre Carter, please be everything I dream you can be.

Albert Haynesworth, I shutter at the thought of this defense with you at the heart of it. Please. Get back on the field soon.

Jerod Mayo could have 500 tackles this year.

I’m not sure what the answer in the back end is.

Looks like McCourty, Arrington and Bodden three very solid pieces. Aggressive. Physical.

Another good performance from RIdley. Kevin Faulk to PUP, injury insurance. Leadership. Vereen is the question mark. Red shirt year perhaps?

This will now be a big week of preparation as we can expect to see the starters into the second half next week in Detroit. Hopefully destroying an ill-equipped Lions team.

But seriously folks, given the circumstances of the off-season this is a pretty impressive job by BB, the Patriots coaching staff, and the entire personnel department. To put together a team that can already put together back to back weeks of good fundamental football is impressive. So bravo to them. Again. And you know I love doing that.

But it won’t mean anything if the Pats look like shiitake mushrooms in Miami.

Everyone love how Ocho didn’t make a big deal out of his TD? Just put the ball down and jogged to the sideline. That’s the Patriot Way folks.

Quick first half thoughts on Patriots – Buccaneers

August 19, 2011 by Mike Dussault

Well that might’ve looked a little foreign to a lot of Patriots fans, to see an opposing quarterback under constant duress like that. Wow. I might not be able to re-watch this game for fear of getting too cocky. But the Pats looked like a machine. Some quick hit thoughts…

– Looks like the same 4-3 look we saw last week, but with Eric Moore sliding over to LDE and Andre “my new boo” Carter going in at RDE. Carter looked relentless, and it goes to show why it’s a man’s job to go after QBs, not rookies.

– Remember when I wrote about this defense being suited to opening up Jerod Mayo to make plays? Well yeah, that’s what happened.

– Looks like they had McCourty and Arrington at the corners then when a 3rd WR came on they had Arrington in the slot and Bodden outside. Interesting mix and match. Wonder if there still just working Bodden back in slowly or if they really like Arrington that much.

– Hard to tell anything about the safeties but with Bret Lockett going down it makes it even more likely that someone will be brought in this week.

– Looks like Yeatman is ahead of Lee Smith on the depth chart at 3rd TE, but they might just be seeing how he does in there with the starters. He’s another huge dude.

– Benny and Woody picking up where they left off last year.

– Brady is Brady. But a lot of people falling around his legs, take him out BB before I have a heart attack!

– Nice TD by Ochocinco, but it looks like there’s still work for him to do.

– Tampa Bay knew the game started at 7:30pm right?

– Overall a crazy impressive first half if you’re a Patriots fan. It’s going to be hard to keep people level headed after this one.

– Let’s get some backups in there and get out of Tampa with a win and no major injuries. Sorry Lockett, you’ll always have Kim.
