It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Settle down or not, the same issues that have plagued the Patriots for years were exposed by the Dolphins. To compound the issue, the Dolphins were far more physical than the Patriots.
For some reason, Belichick hasn't adapted his defensive philosophy to counter current NFL trends. To me, that is the pressing issue.
The Patriots rarely attack/move the line of scrimmage. Miami capitalised on that weakness. There's rarely a significant inside push from the DL and to me, that's concerning.Is the current NFL trend to pound the ball in the run game? Because that's what Miami did to us.

They win next week. And everyone will forget about this game. A W takes a lot of pressure off
I'm aboard the ship no matter how much water I have bail out.......
They blew a halftime lead and played only a half of bad football if your a glass is half full sorta guy.
Yeah I'm pissed as we should all be but no need for us to start fighting and competing for "ridiculous post of the year" awards
I can't speak for anyone else, but for me 1 win won't erase my concern. It's Minnesota after all. It mostly depends on how they play I guess, but I am more concerned with how they will perform against better competition. Denver would completely tear us apart the way things are - even in Foxboro.
Luckily, we have some time until we have to play them.
A 37 year old QB not high on Vicodin can't take 40+ sacks a year.
1 game...divisional is the only thing i am pissed about...gotta win in division. A lot of of work to be done. Just win next week.
