We're on to Miami

Miami! Miami! Miami!

I'm not taking the 'Fins game lightly. However, if the Pats play "clean", and as disciplined as they played against Minny for 60 minutes, Miami doesn't really have anything to counter with this season, on offense or defense.

Whenev Ah say whenevah we go down theyah we seem to get gnarled in a infestation of Kudzu...

I'm a big fan of this thread as a lot of good information and analysis comes from it.

With that said leading up to this game it's all useless as WSAHIM* is overriding.

dolphins can't stop the run.....I like the pats in this one

Brady will be way up to 1009 for his career after this one

So we get Fouts and Eagle again. Time to mute the TV I guess.

Don't worry if Fouts is too much just go to the GDT for a hot minute and then go back to him, he'll seem like a very stable genius.

Have we ever lost a potential hat & T-shirt game under TB12 & BB?

The Bills defense is still top-10 and they were excellent yesterday against Miami. The Pats offense only hung 18 on them in the first meeting. The Bills lost that game because their offense sucked balls. They barely lost to Miami yesterday because their ST and offense kept shooting themselves in the foot.

That same Bills defense, and Josh Allen getting his sh it together for just a couple more plays/game, could be tough regardless of the venue. The Pats history against them from previous seasons doesn't mean squat.

I'm definitely weary of the Bills game since Josh Allen just hung 135 yards rushing on the Phins yesterday.. Patriots are really going to have make it a point to keep him in the pocket..

Miami has been brady’s House of horrors for years. He needs to tighten up his game if we are to have any chance to win!

Gronkowski needs to put aside whatever is bothering him and focus on being the player he should be.

I really hate this particular game each year....particularly this year.....

The Bills scare me more than the Phins, actually. Their defense gave us all sorts of fits last game. I dont expect them to lose either. Regardless, if the Pats beat the Steelers they basically guarantee themselves a first round bye. Almost.

For what it's worth, we left 18 points on the field in that game. Just need to execute better, I feel like we're doing that.

Yup, last 5 games there, we're 1-4.

Dec 2017: L (27-20)
Jan 2017: W (35-14)
Jan 2016: L (20-10)
Sept 2014: L (23-20)
Dec 2013: L (24-20)

I legitimately already forgot that it was Jay ****ing Cutler who beat us last year.

Urgh, the hex @Miami is definitely profound. If memory serves me well (it may not), Miami has too frequently won the trenches, got in TB's face too often, ultimately looked like they were playing downhill all game and the Jay Cutlers of the world had open targets all over the friggin field.

The good news, maybe, is this year everyone not named Jets or Bills have scored 20+. It makes me think the Phins don't have the horses to win the trenches like some years past. And that's the story I'm sticking to.

Extended weather forecast for Miami next Sunday.. 81 degrees, 81% humidity.. stay hydrated.

Bummer. I'm in South Tampa area and we've been up and down past several weeks. Actually had to turn the heat on just 5 nights ago. Before that it was much drier and comfortably mild most weeks. But the last two nights it has been just too inhospitable to even sit outside at night (almost summer type inhospitable - we tried but everyone went back inside). I can definitely feel the effect of having had much more dry, reasonable weather (plus feeling a few cool nights) versus the body adaption to the non stop inhospitable heat/humidity weather of the extended summer months.
If that forecast holds you can bet it will have an affect on the Patriots players that it won't quite with the Phins. But no excuses, lots of fluids, cool zones go a long way, rotation goes a long way.

Yes, but I can't remember which seasons they were.

I believe Gilmore has only allowed 3 TDs.

Tackling is a lost art in today’s nfl. It’s good to see that bb teaches the troops fundamentals.

Didn’t seem like it earlier in the year, but that might have just been a failed eyeball test. It sure looked good vs MN though.
