Well...He is, ya know... OLD.

I have been a pats fan since 93 and I have never seen an offensive line as bad as this one.

The pass rush and the interior OL looked like **** today. Not exactly a Super Bowl combo.

I have to say, I don't get this 3-4 thing at all. But otherwise I have no way of explaining how bad the defense was today, given who they had out on the field (i.e. a good defense, personnel-wise).

And so it ends

Collective softness is the worst thing about today

Somebody will take the bait & turn this into a #Mankins thing. I rewatched the line pressures. Lotta 1-on-1's lost unrelated to anything LM

Chatham's talking out of his ass, and I'm sure he knows it.

It has been since the Moss days

It doesn't help that he hasn't had a legitimate deep threat for years

I'm not even talking about completing them. It just has nothing to it.

Except when he whiffed on back to back tackles that let Moreno get two good gains.

A lot of trolls in here today.

Well, crap. The Pats usually look so good in the first game of the season. When you factor in all the changes with the Dolphins, this was a big surprise and a bigger disappointment.

Well is he young?

rochrist said:

Ridley certainly didn't contribute much, with his 2.6 average. But hey, he didn't fumble, so there's that.

With that OL blocking for him? How could anyone make good runs behind them?

mayoclinic said:

And Collins.

True, should have included him.

Chatham's talking out of his ass, and I'm sure he knows it. Solder not daring to go out wide because he's shading the LG is a direct product of Mankins' absence.

Chatham should be ashamed of that tweet.

Sadly, those are fans.

No, he's just watching a game where the Patriots should have got beat by 40 vs. an avg Miami team playing with backup LBs.

What good is a deep threat if he cant throw the deep ball accurately anymore?

No, put his performance today had nothing to do with age.
