Does anyone on MIA scare you going into Sunday?

For me the only people or group of people is the DL as they can get to the QB. No one on O is noteworthy at all IMO

Agree about DL, particularly Wake. Also think that Tannehill can present problems at times, especially with his feet. Hartline is a nice receiver. IMO, it would be foolish to take them lightly. I think they're a quality team.

No worries. Miami has no chance in Foxboro.

The Patriots and Dolphins are trending in opposite directions. If Cameron Fleming is anywhere near ready to go, even though it's a divisional game, it shouldn't be close.

Wake

Try as I might, I can't get worried about this game. Yes, any given Sunday and all that... and injuries are always a concern. But if NE doesn't win this game in convincing fashion, I'll be a monkey's uncle. It just screams 40-17 to me.

Did he practice full today?

Division games are almost always competitive, especially late in the year. Miami is no slouch and if they can harass TB into throwing up dead ducks it might be a really competitive game. Our OL is morphing back into early season form and Solder looks terrible.

seems on the right path

Their pass rush with Wake and Vernon among others. Outside of that, no.

Going back to 2009, NE is 12-2 in division rematches post November 1, with an average score of 33-15. Granted, 2010 skews those numbers somewhat, but even if I exclude those it is still 9-2 by a 32-18 score.

I just don't know if this offense will score 40, or even 30, on anyone for the remainder of the season
including POs.

If Cameron Fleming really is a crucial player for the Pats' offense, that's an indictment of the rest of the blockers.

Wake, obviously. Vernon is pretty good too, and Odrick is good. Aside from them, Misi's decent, Grimes is excellent, I could see Clay being a major issue, Lamar Miller has looked very good this season (although I'm not too worried, since our run defense has been great these past few weeks). And I could see Tannehill giving us some trouble with his legs, if we let him break contain.

The Dolphins are a legitimately talented team. Luckily they're also kinda dysfunctional and poorly coached.

He wasn't crucial to putting up 40 ppg weeks 5 through 9.

Anyone being covered by Chung or Ryan
