Official Pats/Dolphins Discussion

[pats1]

Foxboro is a winter wonderland!

[pats1]

Miami starts it off with a illegal procedure.

Brady leads the troops out, including Faulk at RB.

[MoLewisrocks]

Nice New Year's gift by Mare.

Davis looked like he was running in cement on that attampted bomb.

[pats1]

Givens is not looking too good today.

[oldrover]

Can't blame that pick on Brady... good grief. That was pathetic.

[MoLewisrocks]

Givens........get your head out of your ass. Brady was running that hurry up like a maestro and Givens delivers a pick. That inconsistency is what makes our 2 top receivers not elite, and why BB will probably be looking for that #1 again.

[pats1]

3 and out. Very nice.

[pats1]

They need to have Pass in on 1st and 2nd downs. Let him pound it through. Faulk is a disaster as an every-downer. He'll work only when the run is unexpected and he can scoot around some DBs, or, out of the backfield catching it.

[MoLewisrocks]

So far that's 4 on the hands, 3 dropped and 1 tipped for an INT. I guess it's contageous. Inconsistency has been the problem on offense all season. These aren't tough catches either. Really ticks me off.

[pats1]

Roughing the passer, helmet into the chest, Ty Warren

Dolphins at the NE 35...

[pats1]

Ricky pounds it in.

Don't forget the 49ers scored first in that final game of 2004, too.

And these Dolphins are much better than last year's 49ers.

[MoLewisrocks]

They should have had Miami on the ropes already and instead they let them hang around and build a rhythm. Now they are going to add to it with mistakes. This is not the game BB wanted to see them play today. The crappy play by our receivers is trickling down to the D. CRAP.

[pats1]

There's been 2 bad WR plays. Brady looks worse. He's throwing them high, throwing them low, throwing them too long, throwing them too short. Barely any pressure to force it.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Can't blame that pick on Brady... good grief. That was pathetic.
While agreeing that Givens' concentration is for crap today - not to mention Branch's - but we were in max protect and Givens was being double-teamed. The O-line is actually looking solid today, banging Traylor around.

Hopefully the Miami score will embarrass some of our ho-hum boys - or BB could be setting the team up to be embarrassed........they get very chippy when that happens.

[pats1]

Vrabel totally missed Ricky on that touchdown

Andre' Davis breaks it down to the Miami 20!

Hell yes!

Better than Bethel! Better than Bethel! Better than Bethel!

The kick bounced off Faulk's hands.

[pats1]

Exactly. The Miami coverage is tight, Brady is under little pressure and hasn't been able to thread the needle.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Andre looked good on that, but there was also some nice blocking up front.

[Bella*chick]

But....I thought we didn't care about this game?

[pats1]

But....I thought we didn't care about this game?

I've always cared.


People feel Brady is their ultimate deity and will never place blame on him. So far, there is a good amount on him.

[Box_O_Rocks]

I care about the "process". :D Tough D, mental awareness, crisp execution, good play calling.......

[flutie2phelan]

Pats1, you keep it coming ... as long as you can.

Us out here in no-videoland find yours better than nfl.com's. Thanx!

[Box_O_Rocks]

That was good concentration.

[Box_O_Rocks]

11 yd TD pass to Branch at the back of the end zone - one foot and part of the leg according to Randy Cross (and the official).

[pats1]

Ah, ha! That's the Brady I know.

Threaded the needle to Branch on that one, nice throw, great catch reminiscent of Patten's in XXXVI behind the DB.

[Bella*chick]

Yeah I care too, about how they look, that is. But many were saying that they just didn't care at all, so I wondered.

Keep the updates coming, as I am stuck watching Atlanta/Carolina.

[pats1]

Pats1, you keep it coming ... as long as you can.

Us out here in no-videoland find yours better than nfl.com's. Thanx!



No problem. ;)

(I can feel your pain - Charter just raised rates for 2006 after dropping the NFL Network).

[MoLewisrocks]

That was good concentration.

Exactly. Brady threw that one high BECAUSE HE HAD TO TO CLEAR 2 DEFENDERS. It's Branch's job to go up for that ball, catch it, and get down in bounds.

It was no different on those other throws.

[pats1]

Frerotte scrambles again - still short of the 1st.

Colvin trips up Ricky but not before the 1st down.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Atl-Car, yuck! To return to the game CBS did a nice pan of the cheerleaders for the boys and a Brady shot for whomever.

The D- is flushing Frerotte a lot, the pressure is gettng through, but the Sanders at S and Poteat at CB, plus Childress at nickelback team is covering.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Exactly. Brady threw that one high BECAUSE HE HAD TO TO CLEAR 2 DEFENDERS. It's Branch's job to go up for that ball, catch it, and get down in bounds.

Gently, it was my alter-ego typing under the Pats1 byline that felt Tommy was off - of course Randy Cross has been on his case as well as the WRs. :p

[Box_O_Rocks]

Willie started faster then Miami again, you think Saban would have those guys on the snap count by now. :rolleyes:

[pats1]

Just as I thought Willie has been getting a great jump on 2 plays now, the latest is called for offsides.

Hobbs breaks it up.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Hobbs, nice strip of the catch against Booker.

[pats1]

Bam is still in there as the nickelback.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Good downfield coverage forced Frerotte to dump it off and one hop it to the receiver.

Dwight fair catch.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Tommy rests, Cassell handing off to Pass.

[MoLewisrocks]

Oh boy, Matt's in. Hope the receivers step up. That is if he gets a pass off. This could get ugly and Flutie can't come in before the 4th quarter. I thought for that reason Brady would be in until the half, at least.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Cassell dropped the Hochstein low shotgun snap. Sacked, new fin record.

[pats1]

Cassel can't handle the low snap, loses the ball, gets sacked.

[oldrover]

I guess BB is content with the #4 seed. :D

[Box_O_Rocks]

Miller, 49 yd punt, Welker 7 yd return. Fins at the Mia 47.

[Box_O_Rocks]

I guess BB is content with the #4 seed. :D
Bite your tongue. ;)

[pats1]

The official scorer took the sack away during the break. No gain instead.

Dolphins don't get their record just yet.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Poor fins, no sack now from the official scorer - Cassell got back to the LOS.
:singing:

[Mike the Brit]

Atl-Car, yuck! To return to the game CBS did a nice pan of the cheerleaders for the boys and a Brady shot for whomever.

The D- is flushing Frerotte a lot, the pressure is gettng through, but the Sanders at S and Poteat at CB, plus Childress at nickelback team is covering.

Childress?!

[Box_O_Rocks]

Bad Hank, facemask against Ricky.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Wow, TBC split a double-team to get the sack.

[Michael]

Sacked! :D

[oldrover]

TBC on the sack... nice. I've always liked his style of play.

[pats1]

TBC with the sack!

Seymour's out, Wilfork's out, Warren's still in, Wright's in, Hill's in, Vrabel's out, Brown's in.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Childress?!
Bam Bam was activated off the P-Squad and is doing the Troy Brown experience. Anybody remember whether he played D-back in High School?

[oldrover]

18 yards on 3rd and 16. Ouch.

[pats1]

Hobbs keeps getting caught up behind that 15 yards out by Booker. Hobbs can't get up to beat Booker to it, is behind Booker and therefore unable to defend the pass from the front, and can only try to strip it.

3 times now, all for 1sts.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Nice holding tackle against TBC - too bad the Ref was checking his manicure.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Childress tackled Welker on a quick slant.

[pats1]

Bam beat inside by Welker. 1st down on 3rd and 5.

[pats1]

Chatham and Geno beat Ricky on the edge on 2nd and 2.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Miami is pounding the ball down the throat of the second string.

[pats1]

Ricky runs straight through the defense for the touchdown.

Holding on #78, offense, Jeno James, LG, on Monty Beisel on the ground as Ricky runs by.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Holding! :D No wonder Ricky ran cleanly up the middle into the end zone.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Mia forced to kick the figgie. Good.

[pats1]

On 3rd and long, Frerotte scrambles past a TBC-Klecko-Beisel (I think) line, but slides short of the 1st in front of Stone.

Mare nails the FG. 10-7, 5:51 left in 2nd.

[Aqua4Ever04]

FINS 10... patsies 7

[Bella*chick]

LOL, I think I like reading the play by play here more than I would like watching the actual game.

[pats1]

FINS 10... patsies 7

Oh. My. God.

Your 1st team offense just barely went ahead of the Pats 3rd-string defense.

Hope that helps you sleep this long offseason.

[Box_O_Rocks]

LOL, I would have responded, but I have the outside hope that it was a Pats fan just having some fun.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Bob Kraft sent a note to the referee, so we do have an excuse. :p WHo do you like in the playoffs? :D

[Michael]

Shoulda known that when we beat the piss out of you guys, you would all have excuses

No excuses. The Patriots are the AFC east champs once again and the phins are not. :D Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

[pats1]

That holding on James (on Beisel) was fairly bogus. Beisel wouldn't have gotten a finger on Ricky.



Cassel makes the throw just a tad over Davis, who tries to one-arm it, drops the 50+ yard pass.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Cassell to Davis, almost had a one handed grab, dadblast it.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Mankins POd Zach Thomas.

[oldrover]

Drops. Drops. Drops. Ugh.

[pats1]

LOL, I would have responded, but I have the outside hope that it was a Pats fan just having some fun.

Nah, this Phins troll came on a few days ago.


Patrick Pass drops the Cassel (under pressure) pass. He was back pedaling off balance in the flat, uncovered.


Izzo makes the quick stop on Welker on the punt return.

[Michael]

No excuses. The Patriots are the AFC east champs once again and the phins are not. :D Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Too many dropped balls in the receivers hands. Even when Brady was in.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Dropped pass by Pass. Miller tyme - nice tackle by Izzo! - 44 yd punt, ten yd return.

[pats-blue]

Seems a little un BB like to take Brady out so early. Do you think the injury to Brees scared BB? I agree with it, but I would have thought BB would play him for at least the half. Prob a toss up if the Pats win now instead of a sure win IMO.

[pats1]

Childress?!

You bet. He was activated off the practice squad today and now is in a Troy role.

[oldrover]

Nice tackle by Stone. :confused:

[pats1]

Brown and Sanders stop Ricky on 1st down, pass incomplete, broken up by Poteat.

Stone and Hobbs can't contain Booker on that damn out route. 1st down again.

We need a DB over 5'10" already!

1st and 15 (false start) Ricky gains 9, brought down by Warren.

Brown dives short of the 1st. Beisel with the stop. 3rd and a few, 2 minute warning.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Dadblast, bad tackle effort by Stone.

BB is playing to the strenght of his team for the playoffs, one keep the key boys healthy, two Pittsburgh is hot and will help you by battering the other guys. Remember we lost Light, Harrrison, and Faulk playing the Steelers. :bricks:

[pats1]

Larry Johnson just broke a 49 yard run. Touchdown Chiefs. 13-3 Chiefs, 2 minute warning as well.

[flutie2phelan]

Elsewhere, Larry Johnson goes over 100 yds in firsthalf, and gives Chiefs 10-pt lead.

[Box_O_Rocks]

So how is Cincy playing the game?

[pats1]

Dadblast, bad tackle effort by Stone.

BB is playing to the strenght of his team for the playoffs, one keep the key boys healthy, two Pittsburgh is hot and will help you by battering the other guys. Remember we lost Light, Harrrison, and Faulk playing the Steelers. :bricks:

Don't jump to that just yet. The Chiefs are up 13-3, and the Steelers and Lions are tied at 14.

The Pats need to win this one.

Oh I agree with it, just seems a little un BB like to not play starters longer. The vanilla D we are playing is something I expected from BB. BB played the staters most of the game last year against SF.

[pats1]

The Steelers are close to the Lions redzone at the 2 minute warning as well.


Booker drops the pass with Hobbs trailing by a yard or two.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Ricky limps off after a five yd gain.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Oh I agree with it, just seems a little un BB like to not play starters longer. The vanilla D we are playing is something I expected from BB. BB played the staters most of the game last year against SF.
The starters POd him last year too.

[pats1]

Booker catches it just short of the 1st, Hobbs dives on top to ensure.

1:16 left in the 1st, Dolphins take a timeout.

3rd and 1 on the MIA 19.

We need a stop here.

[pats1]

Steelers just got the touchdown, 21-14.

STONE COMES IN AND STOPS RONNIE BROWN FROM BEHIND. 1 YARD LOSS. HELL YES.

Mare attempts the 38 yarder.

Pats ice him with the timeout. :43 left.

[oldrover]

Nice play by Stone for a loss. He's great on the run.

[flutie2phelan]

Johnson (Larry) for another.

[Box_O_Rocks]

I like that Cassell is getting some playing time, as well as the back-up D.

Nice run blitz off the edge by Stone - Willie v Edge like in his approach!

[pats1]

Johnson (Larry) for another.

Yep, Bengals get the ball back and throw an INT, Johnson runs it in again.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Cassell needs to get AV some shots to get his 100 pt season.....

[Box_O_Rocks]

Mia 13 NE 7 38 sec in the half.

[pats1]

Touchdown is imperative. Let's win this one.

Detriot might pull this one off. If so, the 3 rivers of Pittsburgh would be littered with bodies.

[Aqua4Ever04]

13-7 guys. Man you are so lucky we choked it back in week 10 otherwise we would be claiming the division title today

[Box_O_Rocks]

Bet we run the clock out.

Bam underneath on a crossing pattern with his first Pro catch.

[Box_O_Rocks]

13-7 guys. Man you are so lucky we choked it back in week 10 otherwise we would be claiming the division title today
Thank you for the gift. :D

[pats1]

Great catch by Dwight on the sidelines with Cassel running for his life.

:14 left. 45 yards or so to go.

Bam gets his leg grabbed by a DB on a crossing route. Pass interference brings it down to the 32. :09, 2 timeouts.

Pass gets nowhere on the run, timeout taken at :04, Vinatier comes in.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Nice rollout throw to Dwight on the sideline. 45 yd line 14 sec.

[Box_O_Rocks]

15 yd pass interference against the fins. 15 yds, first down. AV will get a shot.

[Michael]

Finally they called a p.i. They've been doing it all day. :p

[Box_O_Rocks]

Av for a 49 yd figgie! :woohoo:

[BelichickFan]

13-7 guys. Man you are so lucky we choked it back in week 10 otherwise we would be claiming the division title today
Or maybe we'd actually be playing our real team today :rolleyes:

[Michael]

And it went at least 55 yds.

[pats1]

13-10, halftime for the Pats.

20-3 Chiefs, halftime.

21-14 Steelers, haltime.

Time to grab a bite to eat. Be back in 10!

[BelichickFan]

Cassel has good athleticism and showed a nice arm throwing on the run while about to be hit.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Cassel has good athleticism and showed a nice arm throwing on the run while about to be hit.
He is getting some rythm now.

Halftime reports Palmer played one quarter, they are playing for fourth too. :D

[oldrover]

He is getting some rythm now.

Halftime reports Palmer played one quarter, they are playing for fourth too. :D

Everybody wants Jax! :D

[PATSNUTme]

13-10 Flippers starters againts our backups-not bad. 5th presason game. ;)

[pats1]

Everybody wants Jax! :D

Not me! We haven't played them since 2003.

[MoLewisrocks]

Shoulda known that when we beat the piss out of you guys, you would all have excuses

I guess after living through the Wanny era we should cut you some slack. The last game of the regular season is the equivalent of a last pre season game for teams who clinched their division a while ago. But you've probably forgotten all about the post season.......:D

So Aqua boy - your 1st team has beat the piss out of our 3rd team to the tune of a 3 point lead at the half. WOW. You are giving new meaning to that status term..... junior member. :rolleyes:

[Box_O_Rocks]

Everybody wants Jax! :D
Nobody wants a hot Pit.

But there is a tactical effort to let Pit clean out Cincy and Denver before they come to play in Our House. :rocker:

[Box_O_Rocks]

You big bully, you should be more gracious to visitors, especially ones with special needs. :mad:

[Box_O_Rocks]

Special Teams has been mixed, but acceptable.

[pats1]

Frerotte sacked by Chatham.

Pass tipped by TBC, incomplete, flag on the play, holding Izzo, auto 1st down.

[flutie2phelan]

Larry J. sweeps left for a TD again ... with no blocking, this time. Chiefs rolling.

[pats1]

Hobbs can't break up the 15 yard completion to Chambers. 1st down.

Ricky stuffed by Wright at the 50.

[pats1]

Chambers beats Poteat inside, 1st down.

Wright brings down Ricky on the edge, no gain.

[oldrover]

Mike Wright out in coverage on Chambers!?!?! He's the new Klecko! LMAO!!!

[pats1]

Booker complete across the middle on 3rd and 3, dragged down from behind by Izzo, 1st down.

One crazy play next - double fake reverse, Frerotte under tons of pressure and lofts it beyond the endzone, Welker double covered but goes out of bounds anyway and is inegible.

Ricky pounds ahead for 4 to the NE 21, 3rd and 6.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Miami has to play short, the DBs are taking the long ball away forcing the fins to attack the LBs underneath.

[Box_O_Rocks]

C'mon Matt Chatham, bring him down when you get around Gus' legs.

[Bella*chick]

Just checking to say, great job guys. I like that our backups are getting some work in, and there is the added bonus of not having to read the "OH NO [fill in the blank] goes down!" post. I'll take trailing by 3 as well.

As for this Atlanta/Carolina game, what a snore. 27-3, Atlanta is getting schooled.

LOL! As I typed that they just cut away....to the Saints/Bucs game. I just can't win!

[The Gr8est]

Mike Wright out in coverage on Chambers!?!?! He's the new Klecko! LMAO!!!

What a terrible thing to say about Wright!

[pats1]

Frerotte throw far too wide for Welker, Sanders trailing in coverage.

[pats1]

Pittsburgh goes up 28-14, 14:09 left in the 3rd.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Karma cooties, yuck!

[Box_O_Rocks]

Okay Cassell, lets get a drive going.

[oldrover]

Like to see Cassel play outside the pocket more... he seems very comfortable there and throws well on the run.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Patrick Pass: Did a nice job as up-back on the kickoff, 21 yd return to the 39. He had a great block on the Davis 65 yd return that allowed Davis to get the corner.

[Fanfrom1960]

Sounds like the only game you have is on Fox, like me. Fox is all NFC. Next game I have here is SF - Hou. Oh boy.

[pats1]

Pass stuffed on 1st down.

We need a TD on this drive. It'll put us ahead.

Childress catches it, turns, where he's swarmed by 3 DBs. Gain of 4.

3rd and 6 from the NE 45 or so.


Pass brings it around the corner, past midfield, 1st down. Nice run. Nice speed. Nice block by Bam.

End-around to Dwight stuffed behind the line for a loss of 5.

[pats1]

ANDRE DAVIS!

Catches the go route and drags a defender along down into the red zone.

First down. Gerat pass by Cassel, excellent catch and run by Davis.


Heath runs it ahead for 2. Catches the screen for a loss of 2.

3rd and 10 from the MIA 14.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Sweet throw to Davis.

Childress made a nice block on Pass's pitch out.

[pats1]

Pats take the timeout with 4:50 left in the 2nd.

BB ran down the sidelines to call it.


The Lions are knocking on Pitt's door. 3rd and 7 from the PIT 15.

TOUCHDOWN LIONS! 28-21.

[pats1]

Harrington 15 yard TD strike to Williams.

If Pittsburgh blows this one...man.

[alamo]

I am rooting we get stopped here and kick a FG... Vinatieri needs 3 pts to make 100 for 10 straight seasons.

EDIT: Got it!

[pats1]

Brady calls Cassel back... "MATT!"

Watson drops the pass, WIDE OPEN, pass thrown wide under some pressure.

[The Gr8est]

What is the consensus here? Are we wanting a win or loss? I say a well played loss with our reserves.

I think we have the best chance to take out Indy and a rusty Indy after Jacksonville is good for us.

[shmessy]

I am rooting we get stopped here and kick a FG... Vinatieri needs 3 pts to make 100 for 10 straight seasons.

I'm rooting for him to make 3 more Extra points!

(Edit 45 seconds later: This is life following along with NFL.com. He was aaccepting congrats from the players on the field for his FG while I was typing my smarmy little remark).

[pats1]

33 yarder good - 16-13, 4:41 left in the 3rd.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Pats take the timeout with 4:50 left in the 2nd.

BB ran down the sidelines to call it.


The Lions are knocking on Pitt's door. 3rd and 7 from the PIT 15.

TOUCHDOWN LIONS! 28-21.
BB learned from the early season debacle that cost Av a FG, he now has his timing on the sideline timeout working properly. Good management.

AV should be at 100 for the season now. 10th straight season I believe.

[alamo]

I'm rooting for him to make 3 more Extra points!
I would have too, but considered that out of the question under the circumstances.

[Bella*chick]

Sounds like the only game you have is on Fox, like me. Fox is all NFC. Next game I have here is SF - Hou. Oh boy.
I get Skins-Eagles next.

[pats1]

Kickoff bounces around and Daniels saves the muff.

2 yard return. Dolphins start from their own 23 or so.

[Fanfrom1960]

Harrington 15 yard TD strike to Williams.

If Pittsburgh blows this one...man.

One for the ages if they do. May help get some parity back too. I like a crummy team knocking off a premier one on the last day of the season, as long as it's not my team! Note that Miami is not a crummy team.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Here are some halftime notes:

http://www.patsfans.com/price/blog/?q=node/181

Thanks,

Good stuff, thanks Chris! Is this from the PR staff or are you feverishly pawing through the media guide and doing the numbers in your head?

[pats1]

Mike Wright has a left calf injury.

He isn't being carried off, but has a limp.

[The Gr8est]

Note that Miami is not a crummy team.

Certainly not, Nick Saban was a great hire...closest thing to BB. He'll make the Pats' job tougher each year but it's good for the NFL.

[pats-blue]

Pitt has only generated 165yds of total offense, little Ben is 5/12 for 79 yrds with an INT and they are 0-4 in 3rd down conversions. This while playing thier starters against the LIONS! Also giving up a lot of O against Harrington too.

[The Gr8est]

Great! KC/Cinci game got too lopsided so they switched to NE/Miami.

[pats1]

Chambers catches the 13 yard pass, 1st down, Poteat trailing in coverage.

KC goes up 30-3.

Brown underneath with Chatham in coverage, gain of 7 down to the NE 40 or so.

[pats1]

Brown tripped up short of the 1st.

3rd and 2 or so.


Pittsburgh goes up 35-21 with a TD pass.



Pass overthrown to a wide open Welker, punt time.

Methinks they took the Lions lightly. TD Pitt.

[wcda]

Here in Macon GA CBS just switched to the Pats game

[flutie2phelan]

My station just tuned out Chiefs-Bengals ... to show Pats-Phins.

Yay!

Thanks again, Pats1 and BoxOR.

Punt caught at the 1 yard line. Damnit.

Cassel will need to go 99 yards here. Let's get the friggin' lead already.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Hill had nice penetration on 2nd and 3, forced Brown to change up and the pursuit stopped him to force third down.


Rats, pinned at the 1.

[pats1]

Cassel hit in the endzone, ball bounces back, SAFETY.

Screw it.

18-13 Phins.

[shmessy]

The Pats have done more for Gus Frerotte's career than Heath Schuler!

[Fanfrom1960]

Here in Macon GA CBS just switched to the Pats game

My cable just went out. Big (for us) storm in the SF Bay Area. Computers are goodness. Of course, power could be next.

[Mike the Brit]

You bet. He was activated off the practice squad today and now is in a Troy role.

I knew he was activated but I thought we needed a kamikaze pilot as a KR -- the two-way bit is new to me. Has he played on offense?

[Christopher_Price]

It isn't that big a shock to see Bam Childress at defensive back, at least, for the folks from Ohio ... Check out his high school stats here:

Thanks,
Chris

[Box_O_Rocks]

Billy Yates was in at G on the safety.

I'll have to look for Mruc and Tucker on the next series.

Ashworth was playing RT earlier, so Gorin was sitting.

Way to dig Chris! I love it! :singing:

[flutie2phelan]

Reporters here say Bam caught a short one from Matt.

[pats1]

3 and out. Perfecto.

[The Gr8est]

Cleveland closed the score to 16-13 vs Baltimore. Go Browns! Lower that Baltimore draft pick!

[wcda]

Boy am I glad they made the switch. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/live/NFL_20060101_MIA@NE was how I was seeing what was happening.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Gorin is back in.

Yates and Mruczkowski are in.

Supposedly three reserves are in but I don't see Tucker's 69 yet.

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Harlan is an idiot. He has called Belechick, Cowher twice now.

[The Gr8est]

Only three starters in on the Pats' defense.

Does BB really want the 4th seed?

[Fanfrom1960]

Harlan is an idiot. He has called Belechick, Cowher twice now.

Geez, at least he could call him Lombardi, or Walsh.

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Cleveland closed the score to 16-13 vs Baltimore. Go Browns! Lower that Baltimore draft pick!
Cleveland now up 20-16. Go Romeo

[mdpatriot]

Yes!!!!! They just switched the the Pats/Phins down here at Guantanamo Bay!!!! Oh, and Randy Cross is the idiot although Harlan isn't much better!!!!!!

[STFarmy]

Only three starters in on the Pats' defense.

Does BB really want the 4th seed?

I guess. I also love how Randy Cross is acting like the Dolphins are doing incredible because their first stringers have a meager lead against 2nd and 3rd string Pats.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Bam Childress blitzing ! :D

Nice brick wall effort by Sanders.

[Mike the Brit]

Where is Klecko playing? NT?

[Box_O_Rocks]

I guess. I also love how Randy Cross is acting like the Dolphins are doing incredible because their first stringers have a meager lead against 2nd and 3rd string Pats.
The tension is killing me! Will Miami pull it out against the mighty Patriot thrid string? Yes, they do! :bricks:

[Box_O_Rocks]

Where is Klecko playing? NT?
They moved him inside after Wright hurt his calf - he was at DE.

[pats-blue]

Harlan is an idiot. He has called Belechick, Cowher twice now.

Cross has called Davis...Childress while watching the replay. Then started a story about how Cassel was throwing to "Andre Ware" in the pre-season.

[mdpatriot]

Damn, Marty Booker!!!!!!! Oh well, at least the starters are getting some rest before next week!!

[Michael]

Can Randy Cross ball wash Saban and the Phins anymore?

[The Gr8est]

This is going to be some useful game film for Jacksonville and Indy. :)

[shmessy]

Can't blame him. We're the only people who know Bam outside of his mamma.

[Box_O_Rocks]

This is going to be some useful game film for Jacksonville and Indy. :)
Yeh, Childress is susceptible to a double move and Stone likes to blitz from the edge. :D

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Called him Cowher again

[Box_O_Rocks]

BB is Cowher again.

Cassell with a nice hard count gets the off side.

[pats-blue]

Ha! Cross is STILL calling BB, cower

[flutie2phelan]

Harlan is an idiot. He has called Belechick, Cowher twice now.

With 9:00 to go ... he calls him Cowher a THIRD time!
Anybody want a network broadcast job?

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Cassell got legs

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Man we got the best announcers this week. Guess the A team is at that slug fest Indy Ariz circle jerk

[pats-blue]

NICE!, I hope we put a few of the D starters in...#3 seed would be nice.

[Box_O_Rocks]

With 9:00 to go ... he calls him Cowher a THIRD time!

I ain't pretty enough, but I could drink myself stupid for a broadcast if necessary.

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Cassell, another good pass. Keep that ball baby

[Box_O_Rocks]

Ha Ha Ha! Flutie and BB what a crowd!!!!

[Pat the Pats Fan]

I ain't pretty enough, but I could drink myself stupid for a broadcast if necessary.
I gotta face made for radio myself

OMG a drop kick

[pats-blue]

Way to Go! That is classic

[The Gr8est]

Wow, BB is smiling and we're losing. How great was that dropkick?

[alamo]

Wow! Forget Flutie-for-Brady controversies, how about Flutie-for-Vinatieri!

[Bella*chick]

What happened?

[shmessy]

What happened? Did Flutie drop kick the extra point? NFL.com doesn't say.

[Box_O_Rocks]

AV muffed the KO, fins on the 40.

Flutie Flakes rejoice! :D

[pats1]

What happened? Did Flutie drop kick the extra point? NFL.com doesn't say.

You bet.

BB and Flutie were laughing the entire time.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Flutie drop kicked the extra point, yes. Miami was messing their pants and had to take timeout and he still got the kick off - right down the middle. Highlight film so you'll see it!

[Box_O_Rocks]

The third string is making Miami sweat!

[The Gr8est]

Indy 17 Arizona 13...3:19 remaining.

Nothing like a 3-game losing streak to end Indy's season.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Blast, that looked just like the Cassell-Davis toss, but Frerotte to Chambers.

[Bella*chick]

I cannot wait to see this on the highlight reel.

Oh, yeah, it's been 17-13 Indy for awhile in that game. I have a feeling they yanked their starters after they ran up 17 points.

[flutie2phelan]

I ain't pretty enough, but I could drink myself stupid for a broadcast if necessary.

While u were typing ... The Bride opined, "Maybe he had a bit too much Auld Lang Syne last night!"

[Christopher_Price]

The last time someone successfully executed a drop kick:

http://www.patsfans.com/price/blog/?q=node/184

Thanks,
Chris

[Box_O_Rocks]

I'm going to have to camp on NFL network to see BB explain the drop kick on the Red Zone. :)

Good camera work to cover up the red eye! :D

1941, too funny Chris! :rocker:

[The Gr8est]

I know BB wants to win games, but do we try a drop kick in a game he considers crucial to win?

[Mike the Brit]

If it doesn't interrrupt the unbearable tension of this game, can someone explain how you can use a 3rd QB? Is he just another substitute or can he only take a snap "in an emergency"? Thanks.

[pats1]

:mad: Gargh!

[Box_O_Rocks]

Cross, Miami is showing him something! :D

They can squeck by the third string D!

[pats-blue]

One thing I've taken away from this game is that Cross thinks Cowher coaches the Pats....maybe he should spend more time studying the teams he will be calling the game for...or stop drinking during the broadcast

[abdul7]

Just a quick one here guys ,,,,why do we want Baltimore high in draft picks next year ? do we get a pick from them ? sorry cant remember ! Happy New Year to all of you . Thanks. Abdul

[Bella*chick]

I dunno....perhaps BB didn't think this game was quite as crucial as he let on.

[The Gr8est]

Just a quick one here guys ,,,,why do we want Baltimore high in draft picks next year ? do we get a pick from them ? sorry cant remember ! Happy New Year to all of you . Thanks. Abdul

We have Baltimore's #3 pick this draft.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Tucker is in at G, Mruc moved to C.

Third QB is eligible to play in the fourth Qtr only, inactive through the first three.

[shmessy]

Just a quick one here guys ,,,,why do we want Baltimore high in draft picks next year ? do we get a pick from them ? sorry cant remember ! Happy New Year to all of you . Thanks. Abdul

Abdul, we have their 3rd round pick this coming April.

[primetime]

I believe if he comes in before the 4th quarter, no other QB can come in thereafter unless the emergency QB is injured (or maybe not at all until the 4th quarter). After the 4th quarter, it no longer matters, I think. Pretty sure that 3rd QBs can do things other than quarterback though (i.e. hold for kicks), just as long as they're not under center.

[Box_O_Rocks]

We have their third round pick, so a high pick gives us four selections in the first 70 or so.

Is Cassel coming of age here as a decent backup QB? BTW, is he left handed? Thanks.

[abdul7]

Thanks dear friends. BB wants 4th seed, coz he thinks Pitts going to win in Cinn and than go to Indy ,, beat them and play us in the AFC Champ ,,,, hows that for predicting. Good luck. GO PATS.

[Box_O_Rocks]

:)

CBS just got the 1941 dropkick info - Chris Price was way ahead of them! :p

[Box_O_Rocks]

Correction - the Pit/Cincy winner goes to Denver, but I'd rather knee cap the Colts in the divisional round and hope to host Pit at Home for the AFC Championship.

How's the weather today?

[The Gr8est]

Arizona just scored a TD with 13 seconds left.

[pats-blue]

Number 4!!!!!

[Michael]

I think the ref just told Cassel do not tie this.

[Bella*chick]

Arizona just scored a TD with 13 seconds left.
Awesome!!!!

[Box_O_Rocks]

Cassell, another 4 and 1 sneak conversion.

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Ariz just scored to go up on Indy with 13 seconds to play.

[The Gr8est]

Nice experience for Cassell today.

[flutie2phelan]

Now a FOURTH time.

BB should just change his name legally.

[Box_O_Rocks]

Saban is too happy with his clusterfudge boys!

Where's Aqua to gloat? :)

[pats-blue]

THat was a boarderline call

[Box_O_Rocks]

Now a FOURTH time.

BB should just change his name legally.


:rofl:

TD Watson!

[pats-blue]

Finally Cassel finds Watson

[RI Pats Fan]

Belichick doesn't look all that excited about OT lol

[Box_O_Rocks]

Tie it up, please!
