Official Patriots vs. Dolphins Post Game

[borg]

-Solid 3 hours of entertainment.
-Midget WRs are great....but a few big targets in the end zone are a must. Maybe next year
-I don't know how much more juice is gonna come out of this piece of fruit. Considering the injuries, the only improvement they have available to them is to let Ridley in the game more.
-I fully expect the Baltimore game to be a carbon copy of today...a nail biter between 2 incomplete teams

year after year, same issues with this team. When they appear to have been corrected people get injured and were back at square one. Im starting to wonder if a 260lb+ linebacker has a place in todays NFL. Hightower just looks like he's not a good fit for this defense.

He really is a square peg for a round hole. Drafting him didn't make sense last year and his play this season has definitely left something to be desired.

You seldom see Tom that pissed in a press conference. He said "shytty" on live TV.

I don't blame Tom at all. He's got 2 warrior smurfs to throw to and nobody else. ONLY reason the Patriots had a shot at this game was because of Brady and the smurfs. This defense stinks and they're not going anywhere with them and good old Gost reverted to "he's good but you just can't trust him" form. To quote Tom, play calling was "shytty" today. Pssst, it is OK to use the sidelines when you're out of timeouts.

Per @GregABedard
Ravens, who have both the Patriots and Bengals to finish, will have big say in final AFC seeding.

Did this game convince anyone else that Brady would throw for 8,000 yards and 80 TDs with Manning's weapons?

364 yards 2 TDs, kicker and Amendola prevent 30 points scored with the worst weapon core in the league.

Simply isn't fair.

What isn't fair is how completely ignorant you try and make other people with your blathering.

Gostkowski's kick went OVER the top of the post. That was called GOOD against the Patriots TWICE last year.

Amendola was interfered with. I know that fact hurts you're ranting against him, but it's still a fact. But then, I'm not surprised you ignore the drops by Edelman, Hoomanawanui and Boyce and just focus on Amendola. I

Gregory isn't always a step behind and you're wrong about him being in the wrong place numerous times today. And you're certainly wrong about the Clay 4th down conversion. Especially since Logan Ryan was being held on that play by the Miami WR on that side of the field. Not to mention that McCourty was out of position and Fletcher missed Clay as well. But, yeah, blame the guy who was able to get Clay down because Clay had gotten extra yards already and others had screwed the pooch.



Except that Baltimore always plays hard. They never give up even when they are out of the play-offs.

Uh-huh. Gregory on M Wallace's TD? It wasn't once, it was multiple times.

Clay was running straight upfield and Gregory had him for the tackle behind the line but tried to arm tackle him. Should have laid him out right there.

We can't win big games on the road and things are not looking good going into Baltimore, i will gladly take 11-5. This team is too injured to play convincing football.

 

[sambam94]

phins calling those time outs when the pats had the ball inside the 20 at end of 1st half won them the game. It gave them the ball back with enough time to get a TD, not just a FG. Many, many coaches do not do that..yes, there are many dumb coaches.

- Hightower is embarrassingly bad. Even my friend who has never played football in his life, was screaming at him to TURN AROUND on the Miami go-ahead TD pass. The chunky piece of lard thought it would be wise to show the QB his ass instead.

Hightower is not that bad he doesn’t belong in coverage that often as he has been but to say he is embarrassingly bad is unfair, he led the team in tackles today with 9 total and 8 solo. Brandon Spikes didn’t register a statistic, Fletcher and Collins had 2 tackles each.

- O-line is awful. So many crucial 3rd downs they've screwed up this year.

If you take the LT off any line in the NFL and replace it with the LG and then insert an UDFA at LG in his place your line is going to go to **** in a hurry especially with that line is already missing its starting RT. I actually thought up till Solders injury the line was playing one of its best games of the season.

- Ghost had a terrible game which was flat out UNACCEPTABLE. That missed field goal and the screwed up kickoff should not have happened!

That I agree with, I think he was attempting to bounce it through the end zone to avoid a runback but either way it should not have happen, I can say without much doubt Miami would not have gone for that 4th down if they were not already near mid field.

- Matt Patricia should be fired. What the hell is Arrington, our SLOT CB doing covering one of the top X receivers in the league!? Even worse, why put our backup CB/special-teamer only on him to replace a hurt Arrington? Meanwhile Talib is covering a complete nobody that isn't worthy of his attention.

Ok you’re clearly upset because this statement is an overreaction. First Wallace is not close to one of the best WR-X in the NFL, secondly Wallace was lined up in the slot and that is why Arrington picked him up. Arrington getting beat by Wallace is on Arrington and the reality is since about week 2 Arrington has been playing awful football and for the highest paid DB on the team other than Talib he should be able to hold his own against anyone. Patricia is without his 2 best players and Talib and Dennard both less than 100% he is doing a fine job in my opinion keeping this defense competitive week in and week out. To suggest firing him because he had a CB we paid $16m to resign this past offseason covering one of the opponents better players is silly.

-I fully expect the Baltimore game to be a carbon copy of today...a nail biter between 2 incomplete teams

it will be just like today...come down to the wire...low scoring first half like most of pats games

Like fauria said...with no impact guy in the redzone (gronk) it's going to be very hard for this team to get a bye

Re: Re: Official Patriots vs. Dolphins Post Game

Oh so now people are going to start piling on Jones?

Why not? Everyone lays the wood to Hightower who just makes tackles and covers his man (I didn't say blanket). Where was Chandler Jones in the clutch today? He's supposed to be the star. He looks more like Mark Anderson every day.

 

[DefenseRules]

Tom E. Curran ?@tomecurran 30s
Brady. "Made some good plays, made a lot of ****ty plays." Drops mic after 72 seconds and departs. #patriotstalk

this is going to be an interesting media outrage...

He's pissed. I'm pissed too and so is half this board. The difference is we don't have to talk to the knucklehead media. We can vent here. Where does he get to vent in peace?

 

[BelizePats]

Our D was poor. Miami's first TD at the end of the half was really inexcusable.
BUt what I really didn't like was the unbalanced playcalling. Brady throwing it 50+ is never a good thing.

 

[shmessy]

The defense laid a total egg in this one. Offense did what it could with a duct-tape O-line and no receivers.

Ummm.....no Mayo, no Wilfork, no Kelley.

The defense is NOT put together with duct tape?????????????????

Your first post was bad, but you've somehow managed to outdo yourself. Congratulations.

 

[DaBruinz]

Thats the most biased **** i've ever heard. We lost the game, we could have won the game just as easily. We did well considering all the injuries, it seems all you glory hunters just don't understand we cannot win every game.

You clearly don't know your elbow from your arse if you are calling me biased and a glory hunter. Leave if you don't like dealing with the TRUTH because that is what I posted.

We don't need blind ignorant people here who say "aw shucks" and act like the Pats weren't screwed when they were. Maybe you should learn the rules so you can know what you are talking about instead of calling it biased ****.

 

[Brady6]

I think he is just trying to live up to the hype of having vulgar language.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

3-4 on the road...would people still rather be the #3 or #4 seed over 1 or 2?

Who, in their right minds, actually argued this?

I've seen people suggest #2 might be a better seed than #1, but I haven't seen anyone suggest that #3 would trump either.

 

[blackglass3]

Hightower is a joke. I can't believe a first round pick was used on THAT. He's like a 2013 version of 2009 Adalius Thomas without the attitude problem.

 

[DaBruinz]

Stop giving Pats fans a bad name by blaming every loss on the refs. Yes, they probably screwed us over in New Jersey and Carolina, but this time Gostkowski, the defense, and Brady choked. EDIT: Amendola also choked.

YOU are the one giving Pats fans a bad name by posting stupidity like this.

Yes. YOUR post is stupidity and people like you who overlook reality are the ones who are the issue.
