Landing his first head-coaching job in the AFC East with the Dolphins, where he faces Bill Belichick twice a year, longtime Patriots assistant Brian Flores finds himself in a bit of a unique spot. I asked him today how he views relations with Belichick, and this was his answer:

Not going to be a cake walk like some here think. Watch the highlights from the Phins Eagles game. Lots of offense from Miami. Innovative plays. The kind that give this team trouble.

37-0 Patriots

Devante Parker is having a career year and Albert Wilson has blazing speed so while it should not be a nail biter I doubt it will be a complete destructive blowout either - Pats should win about where the line is right now at about 14 points

I always worry about coaches moving and taking systems with them, but it really comes to down execution. In this case though, the phins have a lot of data and info on both sides of the ball. We will have to strain and stop a lot of our tendencies.

Only 2 QBs lead their teams in rushing yards this season: Lamar Jackson and... Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick ???? I would never have guessed

Is Gronk going to play free safety in this game?

[DaBruinz]

anyone else mildly surprised that the Pats haven't filled the 2 Practice Squad slots that they have open? I would have thought that adding another OL and another LB would be in order.. but that's just me.

Oh what could have been.

I think the game will go how Fitzpatrick goes. If he plays well and throw no picks, I expect a tight game. If he plays his usual game with 3-5 picks, the game could be a Pats blowout.

Where is he in the cycle?

Looking forward to this final for the regular season, they are both going to need to bring their A game.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is right where we want him: The Verge of Suck.

Not only will Ryan Fitzpatrick be the Dolphins quarterback, but Dan Fouts will loom above you as the color commentator in the booth.

Aren't Gumbel and Green the crew ?

• Wynn improving with experience
• Karras improving with experience
• Mason going from liability to elite play with regained health

Damn - the first search result for announcers was from the September game. I worked hard on that meme. Post deleted until future Dan Fouts game.
