The Official Patriots vs Dolphins game thread

[Uncle Rico]

we'll be in the thick of it all year because the afc east is weak

There's evidence to the contrary last week and this week.

 

[dannydyn]

Great. ABout to be a 17 point lead

Relax... only 14

 

[andrewgarrr]

I'd love if it they just ran it with Ridley 3 times. I don't care if it fails at this point. I just want to see them try.

 

[Marinlik]

I did and I regretted it that same season. He's been way overrated for many seasons now.

Mankins has been pretty good this season. Much better than last year and the year before that.

Brady is a 60% passer today.......surpassing his season's average.
2.5 yds/att..............

FLASH

NEWS FLASH

Rumor has it their ARE WRS on the Patriots roster

 

[DOGWARZ]

So we getting another look at what a 3 n out looks like? Because I'm sure I haven't really gotten enough of one to write my thesis on horrible offensive playcalling and the correlation to losing teams.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Where's Blount? I want him in the game instead. *sarcasm*

That song is really overplayed at this point, putting this **** on Brady is just way off base. The more this offense shifted to Josh McDaniel’s scheme the more Brady has struggled.

First 11 games last season:

Attempts - 420
Completions - 275
Completion % - 65.23%
Passing Yards - 3299
Passing YPG - 299.90
Passing YPA - 7.85
Touchdowns - 24
Interceptions - 3

Last 7 games of last season and first 7 games of this season:

Attempts - 420
Completions - 275
Completion % - 65.23%
Passing Yards - 3299
Passing YPG - 299.90
Passing YPA - 7.85
Touchdowns - 24
Interceptions – 3

2011 stats under Bill O’Brien:

Attempts – 611
Completions – 401
Completion % - 65.6%
Passing Yards – 5235
Passing YPG – 327.18
Passing YPA – 8.57
Touchdowns – 39
Interceptions – 12

I find it hard to believe Brady just woke up one day and became bad, the problem is the offense has incorporated more of the things McDaniels wants which are not Brady’s strengths.

If you're watching him, and thinking he looks like the same guy, more power to ya.

 

[Onedaful]

Ridleyyyyy yeah baby

 

[ALP]

three straight good plays?

WTF?

 

[Mix]

Ridley shouldn't leave the field unless he is tired.

 

[juny]

still don't understand why ridley the BEST RB on the team, is held out for an entire quarter

 

[sb1]

More Ridley!

 

[patsinthesnow]

I love Ridley. So wrong on him

 

[Run DMC]

Quick, get Ridley out of the game!

 

[Joker]

big run by Ridley?????

get blount in there quick!!!

 

[heavyde050]

Called it. Ridley and good things happen.

Stupid pass by Brady.

So you don't understand the difference between correlation and causation? Could have saved yourself a bunch of time with this nonsense.

 

[Brady6]

God damn it what the **** is Ridley doing on the field, do you want us to score a touchdown McDaniels? Get him off the field now!!!

 

[Ozymandias]

Gotta capitalize here, offense.
