The Official Patriots at Miami Dolphins Week One Game Thread

Miami bailed us out there by passing the football, lol.

Do you all remember at mid season last year when we tried this stupid 3-4 experiment and we sucked against the run then and finally after 3-4 terrible weeks we moved back to the 4-3 and it improved greatly.

Still haven't stopped them! This is a complete breakdown, no pass rush, no run defense!

Once again why did we run Spikes out of town?

That pre-snap tap on the back by Moreno to the OL was an indication that both were in protection. #Patriots D should've know right then=pass

Could we get a little less of Amendola/Lafell on the field?

I think the heat and the O really going 3-0 is gassing the D. They need a long brake right here

This team is Jekyl and hyde. They play one good lf of games . How about a solid 60 mins?

Did they play good in the first half, or did Tannehill just suck.

The only positives about the defense today have been the turnovers in the first half and the fact they have actually been very good in the red zone. One of those TD they gave up was a great play by Revis and a fortunately catch by Wallace since Revis did knock the ball out of his hands.

Every off-season the talk is that we're finally gonna have an elite D and every season it is garbage

The gameday board is in midseason form right now. Impressive meltdown.

The board's bad. The on-field play is worse.

I was SO looking forward to seeing our new D - Damn - now I want our old D - I know it is the 1st game, but this is NO confidence boost.

This team will not make the playoffs with this run d, this o line and this coaching staff. Pretty easy to see

I agree with you on 2 1/2 out of 3 .I like BB but Patricia I have my doubts about

I miss the days of Romeo and Weiss. They knew how to call a game, adjust when things get ugly, and light a fire under the players arses when needed. These coaches STINK.

People forget that before 2004, people were calling for Weis to get fired.

maybe try and run the the ball a bit

Tommy Kelly < Joe Vellano

Weren't you saying "Vellano earned a spot over Kelly"?

Vince Lombardi: what the hell is going on out there

Over/under on this drive - 20 yds. I take the under.

I've been typing Tommy Kelly's name all day. They really cut him for this crew?

Does Tommy Kelly gives a ton **** of money to Kraft foundations like Wilfork? I don't think so.

There is no football point of view of keeping Wilfork over any other healthy DT on the league.

I understand that I'll never know as much about football as Belichick/Petricia but a 265-270 pound Chandler Jones at 3-4 DE makes absolutely no sense to me.
