The Official Patriots vs Dolphins game thread

Belechic openly cheering a play? What world is this

BLOCKED KICK!!! YES!!!! :rocker:

Wow, this second half.

God damn. They really turned it around in the 2nd half. This win might go a long way. Lots of mental toughness. Great game by Dobson, McCourty, Ninkovich... Man

(1) Ninko has been playing "over his head" for a couple of seasons now, or
(2) Ninko is actually a better player than many people give him credit for?

Number 2!!!!

Pats defense through a half a season:

5th in passing yards (217ypg)
5th in points (18ppg)

Chandler Jones has to be in consideration for DPOY. I know I've been calling for his release but Marquice Cole has been excellent today. Well played sir.

Nantz needs to be quiet about the penalties being horrible.

PI against Dolphins in 1st half? HORRIBLE: +3 points given to Patriots
Holding against Solder on Gronk TD? HORRIBLE: -4 points taken from Patriots
Batted ball against Phins? 50/50 CALL: +7 to Patriots

Have there been bad calls by the refs this game? Yes--BUT the Patriots got killed on one as well.

Burn baby burn . . . the clock . . . disco inferno. Wait, that's not how the song goes?

He is EXACTLY "our" type of player. I LOVE him. One of my favorite Patriots.

What a great half. I was pissed as hell before but what a team effort to turn it around.

LOL Megatron has almost 300 yards receiving!

Well, the team took a third of the break to get into the locker room, a third of the break to talk about some things, and a third of the break to get back out onto the field

The turnaround wasn't a matter of ~halftime adjustments~

Best pass rusher on FG block duty = results.

So now with the game decided and clearly you need a bruiser to burn clock, you insert Ridley instead of Blount? WTF is up with the coaching right now?

I'll never understand ppl coming into a game thread and critiquing posters who are giving their knee jerk reactions to each play. If you cant take the heat.... It's emotions thru the roof.

Reminds me of the SF game last year... Except with a different outcome.

Great showing the 2nd half.

I don't know, I have a feeling someone said something. It's like a different team.
