Oops ... Except they did.

This was a 2003 vintage kind of win.

You took my comment the wrong way........i meant the games will be harder if the pats can't force turnovers.


This game was closer than what it should have been.

Not the prettiest of wins but I liked it for the following:

-AHern as looked the best he has all season.
-Defense put togeter another great outing (until the final drive where they obviously didn't care).
-Offense protected a lead today finally in the clutch. Great drive to end the ballgame.
-It was a win after all.

Hope Edelman is okay and anybody else who got banged up today (can't remember any others)

What is it about this offense that wrs struggle with it?Unless your Randy Moss.LLoyd looked lost out there.I am afraid of this team bringing in wrs under this system.

That was one of the few times brady tried to force it.

An ugly win for sure. For whatever reason Miami in Miami often produces these difficult to watch games where the Pats look like thier going to beat themselves rather than Miami beating them.
Brady played poorly for most of the game and McDaniels had another one of his terrible early season like games. Virtually ignoring the run for 3 quarters was sheer idiocy! Especially with Brady clearly not on his A game.
This game reminded me a lot of the early early season games, where we left points all over the field and let the other team stay close. However, even though we did leave points on the field and had both our QB and OC have poor games, we still won. If this game was played in September, there is a good chance we'd have lost it.
The team is mentally stronger now than it was at the beginning of the year and a win on the road in Miami is always a beautiful thing.

That last New England drive was a thing of beauty.
