I agree, if you depend on turnovers as much as the Patriots do you will inevitably clinch the division in week 13 with a tough win on the road, in which your young defense steps up and the offense does enough to win despite injuries to all of your starting interior linemen and your all-pro tight end.

This was the Dolphins season. They had to throw everything that they had us.

Our run O was completely shut out in the first half, Brady looked a little shaky throughout, and our O and D lines were in combinations we haven't seen since pre-season. Yet we still won away against a divisional opponent.

If we get a little healthier I really think the only team that can beat us is ourselves.

Did Vollmer take one for the team today? Too injured to be effective...but the team needed warm bodies on the field? Rough day.
Gutsy win by a depleted Pats team. Movin on

Tom Brady first QB to win 10 division titles

this was exactly the tough win we needed heading into murderers row the next couple of weeks.

I was on the road today and had to listen to the radio for the most part...ESPN hates the Patriots so much it's beginning to get mind boggling.....two morons were blabbering like twittering little birdies about the Pats running game and how it was completely terrible, horrible, they'll never go anywhere,they knew it...and then, as the drive kept up and the running yards accumulated, these two idiots just blubbered like drunken little tick turds as the Pats strangled the life out of the Phins...their disappointment was AUDIBLE when Mayo sacked Tannehill at the end forcing the FG....they HATE us...I will never forget this and everything else this fetid "channel" has pulled on the good people of New England.

this game I could see us struggling to win without Talib ... since he's come here our defense is at least normal to above average.

They said on WEEI this morning that people who saw the pre-game warm ups were shocked Vollmer was active. Said he looked to be struggling mightedly.

Time to bring back the "champs" SIG ...Nice to pull out a win. TB a little off. Secondary started to regress a little in the 2nd half IMO. Not so great tackling. Dropped balls. Hopefully starters return when needed. Anyway good win. Time to shop for a tee
