What a terrible play call. Wow, I actually feel bad for Belichick with these 2 coordinators.

Why? I don't. He chose them.

The O-line looks way better today, especially creating holes in the run game. I wonder how much of it is improvement on our front versus decline in talent on the other side (Miami has a ferocious D-line).

You do realize ridley is averaging less than 3 yards a carry

Hightower is having a good game.

Someone tell Ridley to get lower in those situations. He doesn't even do it at the goal line either. No wonder he fumbles so much.

we are tackling so much better today than last week.

Must have not been awake on that first drive.

Call me crazy, but I still think Ryan would pair well with McCourty at safety. Maybe we'll see it at some point.

I agree, and I still think it's a real possibility when Browner comes back and Dennard is healthy.

We could have drafted him in 2012 in the first and Lavonte David in the second. We would have had Smith and David instead of Hightower and Wilson.

You could do this every year. Pick some player who was better than someone drafted before. Every team could do it. They don't get to do hindsight, and you don't look smart for doing it.

This Vikings D looks much improved. Not elite but competitive and are making things hard for us. If i was a Vikings fan i'd be encouraged.

David, of course, is the one that really hurts. I still think Hightower can be a very good player, so that one hurts a bit less.

I missed the first series which was apparently 3 runs. I`ve seen them hand Ridley the ball 7 or 8 times and he`s picked up decent yardage on 3 of them, but they may have looked poor before I started watching the game.

Wilson was not hindsight, he was a horrible pick the minute the selection was made.

Using hindsight logic, the LOLphins should have used the second-rounder they burned on Pat White to draft Edelperson.

That was bad.

Harmon can go back to the bench after that angle.

Nice play by Patterson.

I think Brady could have a flying circus and a great defense though

Got no objections. Doesn't appear to be the way we're going right now though.

defense make a stand

Just when I was about to give them the benefit of the doubt...
