Game Day Thread Official Patriots-Dolphins Pre-Halloween Game Thread

[karguy85]

How was Dion Lewis on the street last year? I can't comprehend it.

 

[Gronkowski123]

Just know that particular side judge that didn't call PI against LaFell and Gronk and then called OPI on Gronk is I believe the one who screwed up in the SD/PIT game. So clearly he's trying to get back on the nfl*'s good side

perfectly said..how that ref still has a job is a mystery.
just horrendous.

 

[dales804]

I'd like to see the run game get going in the second half. Really have Blount destroy that defense now.

 

[DarrylS]

LaFell is back
Lewis is healthier
Brady is Brady..
Defense is Kickass..

Too many penalties..

But all is really good..

 

[patfanken]

some quick half time thoughts

1. Bill isn't going to be happy about the penalties, because those essentially took 7-10 points off the board and time off the clock

2. defense has been awesome. this is a team that put up over 80 points the last 2 games. i know it was against some bad teams, but they were nfl teams

3. i love our dl now - Both the depth and the versatility of their skill sets

4. the dolphins are getting a lot of kudos from the mediots for their play, but the only one that is really stopping the pats are themselves

Biggest positive of the first half-Dion Lewis

Biggest negative of the first half-that obvious PI not called for LaFell.

And Gronk. That PI was just as bad.

can someone explain to me what pass interference is? lafell got facemasked while the ball was in the air.

it was pi refs just missed it that happens sometimes.

 

[raduray]

I cannot ****ing believe this kid was signed to a futures contract.

What is the history behind that? Who found him, who turned him down before the Pats, etc.

 

[PatsFanInLondon]

- weak o line (not surprising given the injuries)
- some terrible officiating (no excuse for that non PI call)
- I'm rapidly developing some serious man love for Dion Lewis

I'll take a 19 point lead at the half...

 

[goheels22002]

I wanna see our offense get into a groove the second half

We all do. But this is 11 against 17. The referees are calling ticky-tack stuff that forces the Pats to score TDs twice. The most egregious was the back-to-back blocking calls on Amendola and Kline. This is an officiating crew that was told to call everything plausible on the Patriots. They also let the Dolphins hit LaFell in the face as the ball is arriving and do not call the PI.

Offense moves sooooo much better with Lewis out there. I don't know if we are just holding him back a little but when he's out there we are very efficient barring the penalties.

How was Dion Lewis on the street last year? I can't comprehend it.

Best part is the dolts had him and cut him last year.

 

[SVN]

Oline held up well on the first drive and even the 2nd . Then the fins changed some things and now the oline is barely hanging . We need to stop them on the opening drive and restablish the straight ahead running game.

 

[JayNM]

Ceteris Paribus, if our O-Line do a better job, both protecting Brady and being disciplined, this could be a major blowout.

 

[mosi]

And Guys, don't forget the job Jones is doing. He played lights out in the first half.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

I need to get me a dion lewis jersey. Straight baller!!!

 

[MitchKumstein]

You know, 19-0 sounds right.

I was thinking the same thing!

I wish we rested him a bit more in this game .We need him fully fit going forward.
