The Official Patriots vs Dolphins game thread

I hate to face read, but it looks like Kraft is going WTF? about this offensive game plan.

Ryan Mallet.

Offense is putting way too much pressure on the D. Any D would look bad when they have be on the field for the entire 1st half.

Thanks for injecting some reality and perspective to a thread that severely lacks both.

this is going to be a fight down the stretch for division winners...jets pats and MIA will all have around 6-7 losses

Well, someone last week had a theory that being ahead at the half was bad for the Pats. Sure enough ... so hey, maybe the reverse is true here. Can only hope.

Pats should have used their time outs when the Dolphins were on offense if they were just going to take a knee.

Not even trying for a Field Goal? What happened to our gutsy desicions we used to make

Well guys, we will either see the greatest come back of Tom Brady's career, or we will be lucky to be 5-4 going into the bye.

By far our worst half of the season.

That is indeed pathetic

What a miserable half.

One thing is for sure...whether it's injuries or some combination of injuries and lack of talent/depth, this is a bad Patriots team (bad in the BB era). I'm not sure if it's the worst yet but it might be if they keep playing like this.


(yes, 5 -2 ... we know but your eyes tell you they're pretty bad)

Seeing as how this team has basically crapped out this week, they better be looking at the trade deadline, the draft, or some organizational changes in order to redress this plague of issues that have persisted this year.

They will chalk it up to injuries. And largely be correct, I think. I really wouldn't want to see the team get blown up over injury.

Brady setting all kinds of career lows this year. The Matt Cassel year was easier to watch.

correction, any team that plays NE has the best O line in football

Hernandez was used like a WR more than he was used like a in-line traditional tight end. I'm not talking about what he was listed on the depth chart... Please be reasonable.

Hernandez was used like a TE whose strong suit isn't blocking. I'm done with you now because that's not the only thing that happened to the passing game that's a direct result of the GM.

There's gutsy... and then there's stupid. Trying to score in 30 seconds with this offense would be stupid.

They look terrible but an opening TD in the second half changes everything. Keep a little faith.

this team is dog ****

Can't believe how bad this offseason crippled them

It wasn't the offseason. When you lose four of your best five defensive players and have only scrubs to replace them, what do you expect.

BB's clock management, as it usually is, is atrocious. 1:20 left, he has 3 timeouts in his back pocket and Miami is purposely taking their time coming up to the line because they want to run the clock down before the half to not leave an time for Brady and BB stupidly chooses to keep those timeouts in his pocket. He has done this time and time again. All other coaches would have called a timeout to conserve time to give their offense a chance to score before the half, but not BB. I just can't understand it. He's done it so often.
