The Official Patriots at Miami Dolphins Week One Game Thread

Vereen has played well...

This ain't 2003, sorry to say

 

[DOGWARZ]

Can we just lose now without injuries

 

[Kdo5]

I'm saying to you this is the worst Pats performance I've seen since Buffalo in '03. Our team has been outclassed at every level. This would be a 40-7 game at least if it wasn't for Tannehill.

That Bengals game last season was pretty awful despite a deceptive score.

It has been a weird day, some of our best players have played really poorly today – Wilfork, Vollmer, Revis, and others. I wonder if it the heat, maybe they should have played more in the preseason.

I guarantee they don't that bad next week.

First down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eat it miami

I can't wait for the flurry of threads calling for various peoples heads. Let's fire the whole team guys! Great plan!

Manning's got exactly what Brady's missing

An o-line and a #1 WR

 

[rochrist]

We pass on Corderelle Patterson, we pass on Justin Hunter, we pass on Keenan Allen, we pass on Demaryius Thomas....Instead we settle for our hall of fame QB throwing to guys like Brandon Lafell.

You rrealize that LaFell is, at best, the fourth or fifth WR on this team, right?

Brady was an avg QB last year. What changed? He's getting older - it happens to everyone.

Brady had rookies to throw to last year. Today the Dolphins D-line was playing in the Pats backfield.

Don't be so quick to crap on Brady.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

So the pats are plus three on the turnovers and got blown out!

I would feel better if they had fumbles or int, the punt block doesn't count as a turnover ( statistically)

They got beat, bad!

@jeffphowe: Gronkowski played 2 of 20 snaps while the Dolphins turned a 20-10 deficit into a 30-20 lead.

Bill gets an F

This is ridiculous. The defense is an embarrassment. The play-calling on offense is horrendous. The o-line has been trash for the past 3, 4, 5 years, when defenses are coming. Brady trying to force deep passes into WRs smothered in defenders, instead of throwing to wide open receivers 5-20 yards away. They should fire McDaniels, get a legit WR and find a pass rush.

It's not McDaniels. It's Brady fixating on one guy. He's done it for over a year now. It works wonders in 7 on 7, but MIT so much in a game. The 2014 New England Patriots are a below avg football team.

Vereen has played well...

Edelman, Vereen, Thompkins, Mayo, and Siliga have all played well today.

 

[Crononaut]

I just don't understand the disconnect between the first half and the second with Brady and his receivers. In the first half they were so in sync. Did they run out of plays or something?

 

[woolster22]

Miami third down with six minutes and change left in the fourth, Chandler gets punched in the face and put in a head lock. So much for emphasis on hands to the face...

 

[NCpatriot]

New Orleans game? Let's go Pats!

 

[Bruins29]

They have bad games every year. Some of you are comical. Yeah, they sucked tonight but this was a game I figured they would lose.

Also, some posters here should be banned. If not for their stupidity but for bigoted comments. I guess when you let ignorant, spoiled, immature idiots post on a public forum you are going to get this.

Embarrassing.

 

[iapatsfan]

We are so good at 5 yard passes. As I type this, Brady misses a 12 yard out,
