TB playing at home in the season opener not only with Brady and brutal runner, but also the best defense in the league. Dak hadn't played in ages. We have a new DC. We're missing our best O lineman. Zeke checked out last year. Some dude named Connor is starting.
TB wins 35-10. I guarantee it!!
See what I did there?
weren't they pretty much the definition of world beaters last season?gigem1223 said:MaximusDMeridius said:
Line is currently -8. Anybody think it will be that close?
Defense or not, that's a lot of points to give against an offense like Dallas. TB was not world beaters last season. I'd take Dallas and the 8 easy. I say TB 27 Dallas 23.

My prediction is this. Dak looks great, he is going to light it up. Zeke looks amazing. He's going to be close to the league leaders in rushing again. Smith looks healthy finally. The offense is going to be top 5 if not #1.

Now Jerry is optimistic that Zach will play if he tests neg. today and prior to game time tomorrow. Not sure what to think of that.
The talent is there. I agree with you 100% on that. The only way we have a bad season in my opinion is bad luck with injuries. Really crossing my fingers that it doesn't happen. Some guys have been in bubble wrap for over a year now.Ag Natural said:
The more I look at this team the more I think they are going to be a big surprise. There's a LOT of new faces especially on defense. New DC and an actual training camp.
I'm surprised how much hate McCarthy gets. He had a long run at GB and was mostly successful. Hell, if he duplicated his run here the Jones would put in the ring of honor. Yeah last year was rough. He made some bad coaching hires. But I think fans and media are being pretty choosy when deciding who to give a pass for last year. McCarthy didn't have a camp and he lost his QB and ENTIRE starting OL. Remember Frederick retired just before the season. Hell, even is veteran backup QB caught COVID and never really looked right. Honestly, I challenge any team to have a good year under those circumstances.

The defense has more pieces than before. I think Parsons is a rookie probowler. He may average over 10 tackles a game. Diggs is a budding star. I love the additions of Kazee, Hooker and Neal. I think Wilson is ready to break out. I think the back 7 will be solid. The real question is the DL. Gregory and Lawrence will have to stay healthy and be above average for this defense to be legit. I definitely worried about the interior as well, but they've got a lot of young guys fighting for playing time there.
In the end, barring injuries of course I'd take the over on a 9 1/2 line. I think this team makes the playoffs. That being said, I really hate these first two road games.
Well said. I mean, even if he tests negative, he's just had COVID! Can be a good idea to play him either way.jr15aggie said:Southlake said:

That's true, if he tests negative he could play... but I also heard that he did have symptoms. Loss of taste, smell, stuff like that. To me, it would be a different scenario if he was a symptom free positive over the weekend. But because he's not, I think it's in his best interest to prioritize his health regardless of what tests might show now.

I think this team is going to be better and win the division.
However, I think there is a decent chance we get drilled tomorrow so don't everyone panic.
At least we're getting the game with the Brady bunch over with now. Better than needing a win badly in December to make the playoffs and having to deal with them.jr15aggie said:Macarthur said:

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm not overly excited about tomorrow because I have a feeling the final outcome isn't what I want. But it's dang good to have football back and you never know, perhaps Micah Parsons breaks Old Man Tom's body in the 1st quarter and Dallas goes on to shock the champs!
Trying not to get my hopes up for the Cowboys this year until they give me a reason to believe. Besides, I currently have my Aggies carrying the torch for my unrealistic expectations!
yes, let's be the team that took out the greatest qb ever. I'm not from philly.jr15aggie said:
It would be nice... real nice... if we could get a clean hit on Brady with Gregory or Parsons early in the game. Full contact to his blind side / drive him into the ground type hit.
At 44 years old if he can get up after a hit like that and still beat us, then I can live with that.
