Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Dolphins @ Pats

THIS IS OUR LIVE GAME DAY THREAD:

This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.

At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.

Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.

This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.

If you do you will have your account suspended.

I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.

Unfortunately, I'm getting a stronger whiff of 'bust' with each passing week.
We picked two DE’s in the 3rd and 4th that year.

Wise has appeared to pan out so far. Rivers hasn’t. I’m at peace with that.
 
We're going to crush the Dolphins an silence the unbelievers!! GOOOOOO PATS!!!

Oh but let's focus on the negative. That's the new normal here anyway.
 
Looking to see if our D can find a way to neutralize Miami speed.
 
Who gets the bulk of the work today, white or Michel?

Doesn't need to neutralize it. Slow it down to the point where our offense can outscore Miami. Don't need perfection but "good enough".
 
Yeah he was a late top 100 pick but didn't even care to correct that. Just think it is way to early to say anything about a player who lost their entire rookie season to a devastating knee injury and just last week had his pro debut for a few snaps.

Give him some time.

Problem is that the vast majority of Pats rookies who miss their whole rookie year turn into flops. Losing a full year of development is a big deal. History tells us that “giving him more time” is unlikely to help. Look at the garbage talent playing ahead of him. He’s barely utilized even in dire circumstances. It speaks very poorly of him.

Would not be surprised if Barner has about a third of the RB snaps. White is not really a RB and the team doesn't seem to have trusted Michel in pass protection last week. It will be a committee.

I admit it's looking like that, but if Flowers is back and Simon is there for those DE drop-offs to slow down the quick passing game, where would you put him in this game?

Might be that he simply doesn't have the experience they want right now, or maybe he's not coming back from that ACL as well as hoped. They haven't cut him yet, so I have to believe they see something good.

You are talking about a player who was a rookie last year, missed the entire year and is now coming back from an ACL. If he can't make the roster at all this season we can have a talk about him looking poorly after the season. I am still expecting him to show up as a regular midseason.
 
I want to get the ball first mainly because I can't watch our defense

I literally just can't watch them
 
For those wanting to find a stream for the game:

- Do not post any links in this thread.

- Google the words 'reddit NFL streams'. You will find plenty of options to choose from there that will go live once the game kicks off.
 
Hopefully Tommy lays off his easy 3&out routine to start the game and O gives D a decent chance to play the best they can.

Hope to see some Pat complimentary football for a change.

- “its not just how good is your D . its how much it plays..“
