Patriots (1-0) at Bucs (1-0) 8/18 Pre-Season

[Jon]

It is only the preseason, but to do this without Haynesworth and Spikes is pretty darn impressive.  If Albert had played tonight, the Bucs may have had a negative yard total in the first half.

Good point.  Of course, it will get harder when regular season approaches because other teams will have had time to scout the Pats new look and be better prepared than the Bucs were.  

The Pats were just so darn impressive on both offense and defense, such a pleasure to watch.

In the past, the motto for the defense was "bend don't break"  
Now it seems like the motto is "break the other team"

Quote from DT Gerald Mccoy about the patriots offense

“Man, I’m telling you man, they came out, they’d turn around huddle, snap, oh, ‘There’s the Mike, Go!’ I was like, ‘Dang! Um, Mr. Brady, can we line up?’ He didn’t care. He was like, ‘You’re not going to line up.”’ McCoy said. “When we turned around one time I checked back around and my hand was going to the grass and they were like, ‘Hut!’ And I said, ‘Noooooooooooo!’”
