The official Patriots vs Dolphins game thread

1-possession game going into halftime...

 

[Patriot Missile]

Dolphins look gassed. Oh well another 30 minutes to wear them down to nothing.

 

[ausbacker]

That's a fairly uninspiring finish to the first half coupled with poor umpiring decisions. How the Pats don't get an obvious PI call on Davis and Solder gets called for a hold where Wake's momentum turned himself around is just mind boggling.

Pats left plenty of points on the field in the first half.

 

[Patspsycho]

I really am not very happy with the offense. It has been completely one dimensional in the 2nd quarter.

We really need to mix it up in the 2nd half.

 

[BendButDontBreak37]

Just for the record....

Graham would have made that kick

Agreed please bring him back asap and send gost out on the next flight

The Pats have dominated after the first Miami drive. They could be up by a lot more than 7. One drive was derailed by a Branch false start and a 2nd by the Solder hold/Wake sack.

 

[Timbo717]

Vollmer beside the 3 plays repeteadly again and again is playing bad

In his defense it is tough to play well when you are not suited up and aren't active for the game due to injury.

BOB has not impressed.

Where has Welker been

Maybe I just have a terrible memory, but I don't feel like I see as much of him on the quick slant and snatching up the Brady passses like he used to.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Wasn't Gost very reliable earlier on? I seem to remember that he was a bit more reliable than he is right now.

 

[DefenseRules]

still can't believe that PI was not called

Trust me, if one of our DBs mug a Dolphin WR like that, Every referee will throw a flag.

 

[gmtaxi27]

That non-call on Ocho really messed up that drive. So frustrating. We are domininating them, and we are only up 7.

 

[102 Pat]

I never like to complain about officiating, but WOW it's been blatantly horrible...

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

The refs just took a potential 7 points away from us. There's got to be action taking for this BS. That's 2 blatant infractions they missed that could have blown this game wide open..

 

[PatsFaninAZ]

The PI call was bad, but it has nothing to do with the hold.

Both were penalties, it's just that one wasn't called. I don't think even Solder would argue he didn't hold. While you can hope the ref misses it, it was a good penalty -- it saved his QB. But it was a penalty. It doesn't excuse the miss on the PI, but it's one bad call, not two.

 

[livinginthe past]

I don't think i've seen such an obvious PI call missed as the one on Ocho - he literally took off and flew backwards....

The refs suck....

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

One play and Miami is back in it..need to come out after half on fire...

 

[JackBauer]

Agreed please bring him back asap and send gost out on the next flight

Isn't it past your bedtime?

 

[SVN]

back here after a while and glad to see the 'season over' comments are alive and well in the first half of the first game...

Where has BJGE gone? After that first drive, he hasn't had a carry.
