While their record may finish awefully close to their prior year record (8-8), the team did improve. I recall BB dialing up the blitzes against them last year, which halted their offensive production. In 2013, their O-Line was their achilles heel. Moving forward in time, the 2014 offseason overhaul of the offensive line was apparent this season. Props to them for the improvement.

As reflection on our primary divisional adversaries: while the Jets inflicted that unfortunate 2010 playoff loss, the Dolphins have been the only divisional foe to thwart our dominance of the AFC East since 2001 (2002 and 2008)...hopefully the pattern continues ;)
 
They seem to really rate Dallas Thomas over there LOL
 
Just more evidence that OL depth is one of the key (yet often under appreciated) triggers to a successful season. Glad we've got Cannon and Fleming (more of looking forward situation with him).

2002 and 2008 were both injury-driven down years for the Patriots. It's nice heading into this game in pretty good health. Miami is in rough shape from an injury standpoint.
 
Should be a good day for the Pats' front seven. Good work by our brethren at Finheaven:

That's a nice messageboard, and the fans there are knowledgeable and realistic for the most part. It looks like the same platform that our fearless leader Ian Logue selected for PatsFans.com

Enjoy.

Moving to FL, same platform as Finhaven...I have that sinking feeling again that Ian is drifting into becoming a Phins fan
 
So you're forecasting a great game by Chris Jones!
 
The most surprising thing about reading this message board this week is how almost none of them think they have a chance. In Week 1 90% were calling a win.
