Opportunity Missed

[mgteich]

We were 1-4 in Miami since 2013. On that last play, we went to 1-5. It is not as if this should have been a shocker.

Good thread.

We can’t take the swamp, we will try again next season. Hot or cold it’s always trouble.

i hope the fans are able to take a step back and understand that it wasn't just one play that cost us the game.

The defense game up huge plays all game

Ghost missed kicks

WR's dropped passes that should have been TDs

Gronk shouldn't have been playing defense.

We would have been lucky to win today, and the luck ran out right at the end.

Please don't crucify one player or another. it was a team loss.

It is what it is, another bizarro game in Miami

It's like when I grew up. Didn't win down there for 20 years until the 85 AFCCG.

Exactly - it was a guaranteed loss for so long - either a blow out - or we would snatch defeat from the hands of victory not unlike today

We hear a lot about this being a typical loss in Miami but it wasn’t. Usually the Patriots just get thrashed there. This was one where it’s a real “House of Horrors” game because it involved losing in the most unlikely way possible.

To me what is typical is that most of the losses are inexplicable in that the Pats in the Brady era have been the better team and lost anyway.

There is no way in hell they win the pitt game

Yeah, because a team that just got whipped by the Raiders is an insurmountable challenge.

I am not focused on that last play at all. I am focused on suspect decisions by McDaniels in the last offensive drive, which were OKed by Belichick, which led to Miami having 20 seconds to score a TD. Had they just tried to score a TD on the last drive, instead of kill time, they would have left MIA with under a minute to score at least 9-10 points.

This was a coaching loss.

This loss would have been a little more bearable if the Ravens had won. With 2 mins left in our game it looked like we would have the #1 seed since we were winning and KC was losing and then everything changed in a blink of an eye.

For this d yep

You think the D was the problem?
The O had several opportunities to put this game away.
TB12 peed his pants on some crucial plays. Those 3 points at the end of the half could have made a difference.

 

[PittPatriot]

This loss hurts less than the 4th and 2 game.
Losing to Manning always hurt.

1980 Week 6: Pats 35, Dolphins 0 @ Foxborough
.........Week 14: Dolphins 16, Pats 13 (OT) @ Miami (John Smith missed FG at end of regulation)
..........................Pats led by 6 @half; lost chance to win division

2018 Week 4: Pats 38, Dolphins 7 @ Foxborough
.........Week 14: Dolphins 34, Pats 33 (miracle 69 yard lateral-filled TD pass with no time left)
..........................Pats led by 6 @half; lost chance to win division

Nothing to do with weather or a “curse “ ....came down to idiotic and blunderous coaching.....somewhere Norv Turner is smiling

Assuming the placekicker makes the FG.
