Patriots vs Buccaneers Week 10 action

Pros

  • Big road win against a good team. Enjoy it however it happens.
  • Patriots officially no longer have a WR problem. Hollins went over 100; production is coming from every WR on the active roster.
  • O-line allowed only 1 sack against a swarming Todd Bowles defense—much improved.
  • Running game wasn’t consistently good, but Henderson had two huge TD runs that can build confidence.
  • Defensive win: bend but don’t break. Gibbens and Spillane tackled great; Woodson made a huge hit; and we got to Mayfield when it mattered.
  • Bucs were getting away with a lot (offsides/holding) and the Pats won anyway.

Cons

  • Three defensive issues: (1) giving up a TD on the opening drive, (2) pass rush has fallen off, (3) struggling to contain the opponent’s best receiver (Egbuka shredded us).
  • Maye had happy feet at times and the late INT nearly let the Bucs back in. Needs better risk management.
