What I want to see tonight...

[PatsDeb]

"Just Keep Playing!" Where has that attitude gone for this team on the road? In years past if they got down by a score or two, they could always be counted on to keep going, to stay in the game until the very end, where you might have a play or two go your way and turn around the outcome of the game. Now when they get down by a score or two, you can see the wind go out of their sails, and you get a bad feeling that they aren't coming back.

To think the D isn't going to make a couple of mistakes is being unrealistic. The rest of the team has to Brady (especially) included. Come on boys! We have faith in you!!

Re: What I want to see tonight....

We just need Brady to move the chains and continue to add on points possession after possession because I believe this will be a shootout to the tune of 30s or near 30s for both teams

I don't see the defense stopping anyone, so its whoever has the ball last could be the team winning.

The key to defeating the Dolphins is keep their dynamic running game at bay...control the clock and you beat the Pats so it can't happen.

Re: What I want to see tonight....

I want to see the Defense more organized.

I want to see better tackling

I want to see more aggressive coverage by the DB's

I want to see Cunningham play better than he did last week, which was better than the week before.

I want to see Four Quarters of solid play on both sides of the ball

But most of all i want to see.....Our enemies crushed, to see them driven before us, and to hear the lamentation of their women. That is what i really want to see

Re: What I want to see tonight....

I really want to see them to score couple TDs, force some turnovers on the D, and milk the clock on their running game in the 2nd half of the game.

No giveaways!

The Law-Firm continue his success from last week.

Some defense. Any defense.

I'd like to see the Pats run up the score.

Just win today. That is all.

Re: What I want to see tonight....

I want a win and no injuries, same as always.

However, success in Miami has been very limited over many decades of patriot play.

Re: What I want to see tonight....

This should be a good game, very much looking forward to it. I'd really like to see Tate get on track. H'es been hit and miss so far this season.

Hopefully he can hold on to the ball. That was a weird fumble last week. He didn't drop the ball once in college.

Re: What I want to see tonight....

This is a tough game given the Fish's loss at home last week.

I would like to see an aggressive defense putting some hits on the Chad, and good tackling. Accepting there will be mistakes, I would take energy and violence.

For the offense, as noted by the OP, give me 4 quarters of football, not 3 or 2. I can take a loss if it comes to that, but I hate to see an opposing team pass a Pats offense in the second half when the Pats offense appears to downshift to neutral or go in reverse. The Pats offense has too much talent not to keep the heat on, and with this young defense the offense has to keep throwing punches and eating up clock time as it is capable of doing.

Re: What I want to see tonight....

I want to see the Patriots win. Some noticebale improvement on the defensive side would be nice.

 

[AQPE]

Re: What I want to see tonight....

Aside from the obvious (a W anyway, anyhow, and no injuries), some specific things I'd like to see as signs of improvement:

Defense --

1. Improve tackling/wrap up/hit harder
2. More pass deflections
3. Limit Miami to under 3.3 yards per carry
4. 3 or 4 sacks
5. 2 turnovers

Offense --

1. Less than 2 turnovers
2. Continue to limit sacks, QB hits, hurries
3. Increase time of possession
4. Fewer penalties
5. Increase yards per rushing attempt

Special teams --

1. Force a turnover or block a kick
2. No turnovers
3. No penalties
4. Keep Miami behind the 30 yard line on kickoff returns
5. No Miami punt returns of more than 5 yards

Coach --

1. Stop burping during the post-game press conference

Re: What I want to see tonight....

I want to see Gost hit all FG attempts.

I want to see some playmakers emerge on D.

I want to see the D tackle better, not get lost in coverage, and apply some pressure on the QB.

 

[D-Money]

Re: What I want to see tonight....

If we dont get some consistent pressure on Henne then it will be a long night.Have to stop the run first and foremost.

 

[SanAngeloState]

Re: What I want to see tonight....

No missed tackles at the LoS. No blown coverages....some QB presssure. No "give them 10 yards and make them hit it" as they march down the field.

On offense, no men in the backfield (Koppen) and a few holes for the RBs. No Brady deep bombs to Moss into triple coverage which are intercepted or overthrown. Brady getting a haircut if he loses.

Yes, I hate that half-hearted over/underthrown bomb to Moss that has become our signature white flag play at the end of games. Come on Tom, et al.!! Come up with something different.

I don't want to see Goskowski hit any FG attempt because this team can't afford FGs

I want Goskowski to hit every point after attempt, fu(k the FGs - with this D only getting 3 points is hazardous
