We are on to Miami...

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

It is pretty wild how much Mason's play improved almost within a week once he got back to a somewhat healthy state. This should give pause to a lot of people evaluating players that are dinged up.

Is Gronk going to play free safety in this game?

You just had to remind us of this nightmare.

Just trying to keep you on your toes for all 60 minutes.

Great news on JJones. Hopefully they will hold him out one more week (which will translate into 2 weeks of additional rest). Same with JMac and maybe even Collins.

While I'd love to keep out Edelman and Cannon I am not sure we can really.

 

[patfanken]

Looking at that list I wouldn't hate it if the Pats sat down Edelman, Jones, McCourty and Collins for this game, with Gilmore DMac and Brady only playing a half.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

This won't be a slam dunk. Miami has been very good as of late and is looking to play spoiler...

Dolphins hope to play spoilers' role in finale at Patriots

If that’s what you think, take the 16 points and double your lifetime earnings.

He was obviously hurt. I’m just glad it improved, I thought it would take the offseason.

 

[venecol]

Is it just me or do all these recent stories about coaches and players praising each other feel like a farewell of sorts. I'm starting to get the feeling the team next year will look very different.

Edit: I hope this team wins it one more time, the defense deserves it.

What's that supposed to mean?

He is saying given your POV that it wont be easy you should put a non-trivial amount of money on the Dolphins against the spread (+16 apparently) and double it.

Sounds like someone hopes to score tickets to a wild card game in Foxboro.

They should play everyone who is healthy enough to play. If Jones and McCourty are at high risk for re-injury, they should sit. Groin injuries scare me.

Unfortunately, due to the KC loss, they can’t afford to sit anyone who would normally play in a regular season game. The likelihood that the game will be so out of hand at half time that Brady and Gilmore will be able to sit is very low. Thanks a lot, Jerome.

Yep. This is the equivalent of a playoff game, there’s no resting anyone.

I will say people thought that was true last year with how happy bill was

And the year before when we ran out the clock against Jax and he was celebrating on the sidelines.

I guess in some ways they were right since Patricia left and gronk left, along with plenty of other pieces. But it wasn’t the end

 

[Mack Herron]

Could see Harris.

 

[mgteich]

Yes, possibly in garbage time.

We already know that Josh is willing give Bolden reps in prime time. Bolden, White and Burkhead are plenty to depend on.

Could see Harris.

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Yeah, and he also made a crack about my lifetime earnings. I guarantee you I am more educated than @Ice_Ice_Brady is. I'm guessing he's a Boston U grad or maybe UMass if he made it that far in life...

Ummm...sorry you took this so far in the wrong direction. I didn't see your previous question about what I meant. I meant if you really think the Dolphins are going to give them a game, you should put all your money at them because it's such a massive spread. Maybe better not to assume I'm attacking your lifetime earnings and getting into a p1ssing match. In terms of education, that's a really elitist comment to make; both of those schools are really good and there's no way I could have even gotten into them. I'm not going to get into my earnings because it's in bad taste and not how to judge someone, but I'll just say you really don't want to go there against me.

Let's hope Fitzmagic throws a couple early picks and the Pats can get up two TDs early. Make Miami one dimensional, done and dusted by halftime
