The Official Patriots at Miami Dolphins Week One Game Thread

It's only the first game......but BB is an awful GM. Manaohwa (sp) sucks balls. Why not let him go and keep Mankins. Has Manaohwa ever done anything? Ever?

really dreadful tackling today. Have to hope it was the heat but really pathetic. both lines dominated, which is sad given how terrible MIA's online is on paper. Not a team you should be out physicalled by. back to the drawing board

Out coached - out prepared - outplayed - out everything.

Once again,

When are the patriots going to draft a Demaryius Thomas, Julio Jones, Percy Harvin, Corderelle Patterson, Dez Bryant type offensive WR who can CHANGE THE GAME with big offensive plays. We do not have a big playmaker on our receiving core.

This. Edelman at no.1 will not cut it

Everyone calling for Scar & Mankins...how short of a memory do you guys have?

The OL was junk last year and Mankins was a big reason for that in pass protection.

The good thing I guess is that now Bill has to admit he needs to make big changes.

Ridley? What are we blaming Ridley for?

I think he is joking because Ridley is the whipping boy of many Patriots fans.

6-10? You jumped off the Tobin real quick.

We pass on Corderelle Patterson, we pass on Justin Hunter, we pass on Keenan Allen, we pass on Demaryius Thomas....Instead we settle for our hall of fame QB throwing to guys like Brandon Lafell.

Yeah, their problems were at the skill positions...umm, no.

I am guessing bb is gonna have to provide a change. But we need Dobson bad, could have used him

I'm conflicted, because I honestly feel this QB/Coach combo has run its course. I would like to see some changes, but I know rebuilding will be painful. I honestly expected this game to go like this. I felt we had an avg defense (which I would take with a good O), but I had no idea how we were going to move the ball. Nothing about today shocked me. Brady was an avg QB last year. What changed? He's getting older - it happens to everyone.

It has been a weird day, some of our best players have played really poorly today – Wilfork, Vollmer, Revis, and others. I wonder if it the heat, maybe they should have played more in the preseason.

When was the last time they have looked this bad?

Last year.

Yes, that was a backup LB covering a one-legged TE.

Brady is just forcing it to Gronk now

Yes it was. And instead of improving they actually got worse.

Nothing like a good ass whooping to have your eyes opened. Maybe the Pats do so.

This whooping will not help unless the friggin owner and head coach finally decide to invest in the offensive and defensive lines. I watched that Seattle game and said to myself, their front lines are the strength of their team. The Pats front lines are a weakness. Miami exploited them and exposed them today. We will see if this damn coaching staff can fix this problem. I am more disgusted with the coaches than the players today. Maybe that is unfair, but that is how I feel. I knew the offensive line would be a mess. But I never expected the defensive line to get pushed around like that. NEVER.

Whoa Whoa, sound likes end of the world drama. Don't step off the ledge, but seem like some of you already did.
