The Official Patriots vs Dolphins game thread

[PATSNUTme]

Please post your comments, knee jerk reactions, and insightful observations prior to and during today's game vs the dolphins, on this thread.

I look for this to be a tough game. The Dolphins have had some very close games with good teams this year. They still believe that they are in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Let's hope for a good game with no injuries.

Looks like a warm wind blowing in Miami today, and not just from Dierdorf:

Temperatures are in the high 70s, which will make this the warmest game of the Patriots’ 2012 season. Humidity is around 60 percent, according to Weather.com. Winds might be a slight factor, likely more in the kicking game, with gusts currently in the 10-15 mile-per-hour range.

All over the news this morning the media is hyping the fact that Tom Brady is 0-3 at Miami in December.

They seem to put more stock into that than the fact that the Patriots have won their last four against the Dolphins.

Per Reiss:

Julian Edelman, who didn't finish the Thanksgiving night game against the Jets due to a concussion, on the field now catching passes.

Mankins, Gronkowski, Petrus, Shiancoe, Jones, Develin & Martin are inactive for the Patriots.

Shiancoe the surprise healthy scratch. Behind Hooman??

Per ESPN. Good news for us, bad for Cameron Wake.

Palantonio just reported that Vollmer's going to start at RT.

Seems like Fells, Shiancoe, and Hoomanawanui are all tied for third on the depth chart. Just depends on the game plan.
