Brady started 12/16-160 and 16/24-200 before the game was out of reach
We had a ton of 20+ plays
We had 7 sacks.
They were going for 4th downs in their own end in the first half and managed 10 offensive points and barely 200 total yards
That is not a C game.
Seems like the Achilles thing was legit. He wasn't super-sharp.
This crew, IIRC, is usually quick on the whistle. I think this is the same awful crew from the 2015 Eagles game that missed at least 7 false starts on Philly's RTBall that was ripped out for a strip fumble TD was definitely a quick whistle by ref and that would have made it 21-0 early.
Lewis, Patriots Run Over the Dolphins 35-17, Quick ObservationsSloppy affair for the Offense: While the Patriots racked up another 400+ yard game and 35 points they were definitely sloppy at times, especially in the second half on offense. In the first half, Ted Karras snapped the ball before Tom Brady was set and he never saw it. The ball skipped by him and although he dove for it, (unlike Superman), it was scooped up nicely by Rashad Jones and run in for a score.
Brady bobbled another snap and the result was a sack by Cameron Wake. Forget about blaming that on Cameron Fleming. That was on Brady all the way. He gets rid of that ball had he not bobbled the snap
He also threw an interception of a very poor decision of trying to squeeze the ball into too tight a window. The pass protection today wasn’t good and Brady was hit hard several times, including a few that straddled the line between clean and dirty where Miami was doing things Miami always does. However, (comma)…

It just seemed structurally unsound
Good post, fully agreed.It was a "C for Curious" game. When's the last time you saw...
...Tom Brady flat-out drop a shotgun snap that hit him in the hands?
...Duron Harmon injure a teammate by wrestling his interception away from him?
...a Patriots gunner lose track of a perfectly placed punt and let it bounce into the endzone?
...a Patriots center lose track of when he was supposed to snap the ball?
....a DT punching Brady in the gut?
...so many injured Patriots named Flowers that the announcers give up on trying to tell them apart?
Congratulations to the Patriots on a dominating win against a division opponent. That's awesome, and never to be taken for granted. But I couldn't wait for this game to be over. It just seemed structurally unsound, like somebody built their IKEA furniture without looking at the instructions and it could all come crashing down at any moment. By the 4th quarter I was practically holding my breath against injuries on every play.
And? How many popped knees do Pittsburgh, Chicago, Green Bay, Miami, Jacksonville, San Diego, etc have?The Patriots have been on turf for 11 years.
I said he wasn't super-sharp. I didn't say he sucked.He went 18-28 with 4td's. You expect perfection?
Nothing IMHO. This is more likely the result of someone who very rarely has an offensive rush + bad luck.
Ebner... On the old grass/dirt field Ebner doesn't happen
The masslive injury report state that Marquis Flowers didn't return to the game.
Miami had just gotten 2 personal fouls. I think an artery was going to have to be spurting for them to call another on that drive.Speaking of bad officiating, wth was the Suh face mask tackle that they just ignored!
