Congratulations to the Dolphins on taking down the Patriots Sunday. Just had a chance to watch the game - looks like the Dolphins made all the adjustments at Halftime - the O-lines continual issues in Miami rears their collective ugly head yet again. To do it after losing two of your starting 3 LBers (I'm not sure why Wheeler didn't play) speaks volumes about the depth of the defense. Until Brady gets more reliable at hitting tha deep ball teams are going to keep cheating up on the running game and the intermediate routes. The Miami offense showed alot of things we couldn't stop vs the Broncos last year ie runs out of the shotgun - free yardage for Moreno before 1st contact almost every time. Its early days but Miami have put down their marker to end the Patriots dominance of the AFCE - we'll see how it plays out. Hope you guys get those injured players back asap.
Thanks much dude. As you know, this was a monster win for our guys. I have no doubt y'all will still be deep into the playoffs, we hope to get there too.
You were one of the good Pats fans that came here. I wanted to hear from the handful of *** nuggets that shockingly haven't shown up again. But I do appreciate the kind words.
Brady missed some throws deep I think he makes if he isn't getting hit the entire game. We will see how the season shakes out. Before the season I had you guys at 11-5 and us at 10-6 so we will see how close I was.
They looked great in the 2nd half, OK in the first. We were on our like #4/5/6 LBs, and low on DBs as well, but the scheme worked (thanks to great line play). When the Pats were forced into longer play, instead of the quick/short stuff, it worked to our advantage quite a bit. We're gashable against the run for sure, so we'll prolly need to work with a lead to get the most out of them. Don't know, it's only one game and we usually play the Pats pretty tough. We'll see how we do against the Bills / Chiefs over the next two weeks...with our bad LB situation, it could be ugly.
Don't... The Jets are a bad/mediocre football team. They have an awful secondary, and an awful QB. You guys should win by multiple TDs. And very classy of the O.P. Thanks!
Thanks and classy post. While I would love to sound the Patriot's death knell there's no way I'll count out Brady and BB. IMO NE is still one of the best teams. I just hope that this game indicates that Miami is as well. I think Miami has a nice talent base, far better than most realize or that their record has reflected. Consistency matters though and Miami will have to do it for more than a half before anybody will notice or acknowledge it. And rightfully so.
You're not a real Pats fan. Pats will be fine. It was unlikely they would go 6-0 in the division. This loss puts more pressure on their game @ NYJ. Must win the rest. 13-3 is still in reach and will yield a home playoff game. After yesterday, 91 of 91 ESPN experts still pick the Pats in the AFC East. The question is, can we grab a WC spot at 10-6 / 9-7?
