Patriots-Lolphins Postgame Analysis Thread

Jeez, I really hope they find a way to keep Jones, Hightower, Collins

They will when Brady is playing for less than 5mill a year next 5 years.

I dont know why all thursday games are division games. Division games are too important to play on a short week. Play inter conference games if you want to play on a short week.

The idea is to make it so that one division team isn't being forced to play on a short week while another doesn't. The Bills and the Jets play each other on Thursday down the road.

No. Dobson was not a factor whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I don't believe he even saw a target.

You could argue that he did what he does best

Hey, Amendola only caught one pass! Cut him!!

Does Matthew McConaughey really help Lincoln sell more cars? Those commercials are so pretentious and annoying.

I enjoyed the one with Miles Davis track, but then again that is probably my favorite jazz song of all time.

Hey, Amendola only caught one pass! Cut him!!

I don't see the relevance of the comparison or the need for sarcasm. I included the winking emoticon and yet you still ignored the tongue in cheek nature of such an innocent comment?

He asked about Aaron Dobson's production last night, whose career has been much different than Danny Amendola, Scott Chandler, Brandon LaFell, or any other proven player who produced in a minimal role in the game vs MIA.

I cant get enough of that Logan Ryan Int, Tannehill threw it directly too him. So much for the Fish being good now, they certainly seemed thoroughly squished.

Ryan knew the route and ran it better than Matthews, who ran a really lazy out.

I'd tell Godger Insanedell for you but he's too busy attending to "real important things" in London...

Huh? The pubs close by 11 or 12. Hitting the hotel minibar doesn't count.

Not any more they don't - many are open to 2.00am these days. Unfortunately, my local isn't one of them.

Sorry if I missed this from a previous page but I was working tonight and unable to see the game. Did Dobson do anything?

Rumor is that he is going to break out any game now.

 

[DarrylS]

After a great win last night always find it amusing when this board focuses on the negatives.... instead of savoring the win... does whether or not Dobson play really matter???

Meanwhile Roger bites his knuckle and goes down the Basement of the World Wide Headquarters of the NFL and engages in his own brand of therapy..

Pats are not going undefeated. They will lose a game or two.

I believe Brady has set a goal of 19 - 0.

IIRC, it was 2003 and Brady told the team after a loss that they were not losing another game. The Pats did not.

Do they have an OL rookie of the year aware? They should cause OL almost never win ROTY. I would nominate both Mason and Andrews (but Mason needs to get on the field lol)

There's the all rookie team, but it doesn't get much play.

What's scary about this team is that the offense has been very pedestrian for most of the past two games. And very pedestrian has led to "only" 66 points in those two games.

They've faced some good defenses and simply worn them down. That's not pedestrian; it's tough.

I cant get enough of that Logan Ryan Int, Tannehill threw it directly too him. So much for the Fish being good now, they certainly seemed thoroughly squished.

I want to see his casual PD late in the game. His coverage was excellent last night. His best game yet.

I dont know why all thursday games are division games. Division games are too important to play on a short week. Play inter conference games if you want to play on a short week.

There's not as much prep needed for familiar opponents. The NFL hopes that improves the product in the field.

Watch this be the week where Peyton finally goes off, as I've reached my patience with him. He's produced single digits in like 4/6 games or something ridiculous. Now that I've placed him on the bench, I expect him to have a 20+ point game.

this week Peyton has a chance to throw at least 4 INT

Hope you're right for multiple reasons. Boy, will I be mad if this is the week he puts up real numbers.

 

[Tony2046]

I can't say I want us to lose, ever, but a loss here and there does seem to ground players. I wouldn't mind getting that consecutive games won record back from Peyton.

I don't think being 15-0 would affect Brady the same way it did in 2007. I think BB and Brady have the experience to deal with it.

Anyways the only thing that's important is the SB everything else is just gravy.

 

[1960Pats]

I don't even want to hear the phrase "The Patriots are undefeated" until every NFC team has at least one loss, never mind anything about running the table.

Can you imagine the hell Patriots fans would catch, forever, if we went through another 18-1 season and lost to an undefeated NFC team?

As long as that loss is a clean loss (not influenced by the NYJFL) then I will applaud the team that wins it, just as I did in 2007.

 

[DarrylS]

How often have we heard that the Dolphins, Jets and Bills are all built to stop the Patriots???.. Perhaps they should change that philosophy and just try to field really good teams..

Ndamukong Who???

You keep trashing denver. Lets see what happens. I wont be surprised if they beat GB at home this weekend. That pats game is on thanksgiving sunday after a Monday night game. Not the ideal situation and winning in denver is tough. Dont think its going to be a blowout or close to it.

May not be a blowout but that is because Denver's defense is decent. They have literally kept Denver in each game while their offense has done everything to give those games away. Peyton is having a really tough year. I think it's a combination of subpar OL, new hybrid offensive scheme and Peyton's noodle arm strength.

Green Bay will be a good measuring stick for them. I think GB destroys them to the tune of a 14+spread.


GB 35 Den 21 (Trust me. I'm probably ranked 130 in Alamo's Predict the score competition after last night )
