Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Week 17 Dolphins @ Pats

[TinhWoodhead]

playing not to win wtf....

 

[PatriotSpy]

That was clear they don't trust Brady and the passing offense.

Maybe it's a psychological play. Short term loss but long term gain? I don't know. Too cautious for my liking.

 

[r81m]

Whoever boos here should be banned from Gilette for a couple years. What a bunch of entitled assholes.

There are plenty on this board that are the same way.

I felt the Phins would be tough starting out. Hopefully, the Pats have woken up. I'm still nervous about Brady. He still has good arm strength but his accuracy is spotty. If he can't tighten it up, it doesn't bode well against playoff teams.

 

[RobertWeathers]

my thought is that they probably don’t have trust that this group can run the 2min offense effectively. They don’t want to f this up and give the ball back.

They are playing it safe. Nothing more to it.

 

[stcjones]

Even Flores is like WTF Bill.....analysts have NO answers

 

[Ladypatsfan]

lmao at giving up at halftime here

BB had no confidence that they would score. It's SAD that they didn't even try..

 

[condon84]

Brady already threw a TD pass the other way Bill didn't want to take any chances.

That's the only logical reason why we did that to end the half.

 

[Uptown]

I hope Bill digs them a new (you know what ) in the locker room.

We've scored 10 unanswered. And the Dolphins offense has only scored 3 points on its own. We're going to make adjustments and play better. Miami is going to warm up the buses.

Fans will be singing by the fourth quarter.

Same applies to those clowns.

 

[primetime]

WTF. Trent Green just lied through his teeth.. The Pats 1st SB was won without the bye. .

Oh yea I remember when they played St Joan's School for the Blind in the Wild Card round before the Tuck Rule game

 

[Pats2000]

I think this team wants to adjust the game plan going into halftime. I'm not super surprised they made that move

Hope your prediction is right!

 

[BradyFTW!]

Fans better booo, why no timeout? Why not take shots down the field? Waste!

Yeah, if nothing else take one shot downfield to Harry or Sanu. What's the downside, that it gets picked and Fitzmagic leads a huge clutch 2 minute drill? I'll take those odds

 

[catent]

This is horrible coaching.

I get the offense sucks, but you had a minute and a half and a full set of timeouts and you just let it run out?

What the hell am I watching?

If they call a TO at 1:45, Miami has all of theirs remaining. Offense would predictably stutter, Miami would burn their TOs and potentially get the ball back with a minute to go.

 

[Foxypats]

well considering the dropped balls, the INT from Brady and the bad throws to be tied at the half is great . The D has only given up 3 points, so that is really good no matter what anyone says. If the D can keep that up, the team will win !

 

[nabwong]

The passing game is awful. But we can still win this with the run and play action.

 

[fxmallon]

Is this deference to Brady's age. They've been doing this of late with plenty of time and time outs to spare... Not what we've done up to this year--or maybe up to the second half of this year. Boring and not BB or Brady ball. I don't get it.

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Playing next weekend or not, this isnt the way you go into the playoffs.
