Patriots-Lolphins Postgame Analysis Thread

Ho-hum.

7-0.

So THAT'S what squishing the fish looks like...

Awesome from the defensive front seven - they are who we thought they could be.
(That fella wearing #12 isn't bad either)

So I will start with this question.

Who played bad tonight? I am sure we can think of a few players who did

Flemming comes to mind but after Wake goes out Flemming is solid again... Sometimes you just face a probowler and he is really good... nothing wrong with that.

Does your legal team share this joy? No, they do not. Common sense is dead. RT @NFL: Have a Day, Tom Brady! #MIAvsNE

Geez, watching Gronk right now on the NFLN set postgame........our Robbie really has grown up.

Not sure who looked more ridiculous, the Dolphins or Matthew Freaking McConaughey

Gronk is smarter than people give him credit for. He just sounds funny.

Ssshh Deion....Don't jinx them by talking about injuries !

I guess the AFC East isn't as close to parity as some people thought ...

Games like this I just want to savor for a little while, so glad it was a Thursday game and we are off this weekend.

This D is better than the stats will suggest. YPG numbers can be thrown out the window.

Gronk being so humble....love him !

I wonder if Tannehill had a better QBR this game than Brady? Anybody know?

You know looking at Gronk it is hard to believe he has ever had anything close to a bad day just the way he carries himself. Just oozes happiness and party time feelings

Speaking of stats, didn't Malcom Brown get a sack at the start of the game?

See..any other WRs would wouldve said ..no one can guard me 1 on 1 i think. Gronk says if i dont run a good route , sure i can be covered...awesome!

fantastic performance!!! fish are lucky we didnt score 50!!!

bet miami fans feel deflated now haha

Some Wrap up thoughts

- We are the best team overall in the NFL today.

- That being said, we still need another corner to be completely safe. When we face some of the truly great QBs, like Rodgers, Dalton (He has been great this year) and some others in the play offs, we will have trouble if we continue trusting on Coleman to blanket some of this league's number 3 WR.

- Brady has TWENTY F*CKING TOUCHDOWNS TO ONE INTERCEPTION. DAMN IT EDELMAN, IT COULD BE BETTER AND YOU KNOW IT.

- Those points that we left on the field, especially on the first half, were weird. I feel like it's common to some teams to have weak quarters, but it felt weird seeing it in us.

- Harmon and Chung are improving greatly (Bonus Points: I picked them as the ones who would improve the most this season, so Yay me). Easly still has some up and downs, but is better too. Brown is also coming along nicely.

- As said on the game thread. Ryan has been our best CB in last 3 weeks. I don't know if it's a scheme to disguise his weaknessess, bad playing by the other team, but he has been great. Even better than Butler IMO.

- Still some drops on our offense. LaFell rebounded, though.

- We will need another O-lineman, if it comes to the worst about Jackson. Even if it doesn't IMO.

- I don't see Blount as good as he was last year, but D. Lewis is the best back the Patriots have ever had since Dillon.

- again, as said on gameday thread. 10 days to rest and we get a lot of toys back. Mason, Stork, Sheard, Chris Jones should be ready to go.

- We are on to Washington

Analysis, who needs freaking analysis?



Sit back and let that sink in. Time for a Blount!

Not looking it up but I think so. It was on a QB run that was stopped for a loss hence a sack.

This will be the 7th time I have said "this is Malcom Brown's best game this year". Better every single game. I am curious to see what he looks like come week 16.
