Official Post Game Thread- Dolphins beat the Pats

[Keyser Söze]

Secondary was absolute trash. Loved seeing Gilmore 5 yards off of Parker every damn completion.

Even if Brady plays elsewhere, there will be cap implications next year and the year after. If I remember correctly, it’s something like $13 million next year and $6 million the year after in dead cap.

Clarification: he has $13.5M in remaining pro-rated signing bonus from his most recent contract. That's a sunk cost that's going to hit the cap as $13.5M in 2020 or as $6.75M in 2020 and $6.75M in 2021; nothing the Patriots do will change that.

This loss is on defense and coaching. Fitzpatrick carved them up.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Sick of all the geniuses here that seem to have delight in proclaiming its All Brady's fault.

Clearly...it wasn't "All Brady's fault."
This was a team effort from the Coaching to the D...to Brady and the O...

 

[luuked]

They had 1:50 and 3 timeouts.

That is not the time to do that.

I can understand if you're at .55 seconds, but they had a whole minute more.

No urgency. That series counted.

Not to mention they ran on 3rd down in the first series after the half.

Again. Explain to me what they should have done after the first run went for negative yards?

Calling a TO earlier would have made no difference except putting the Dolphins in a position to call TOs themselves to maybe get the ball back. They wound the clock to around a minute and had 3 TOs. That is more than enough time.

What did you want them to do ? Throw it on 2nd and 11 and risk stopping the clock ? From a strategic point of view I dont see an obvious mistake there.

 

[Kasmir]

His. Throwing. Arm. Is. Injured.

Is this hard to comprehend?

Inability to recover fast enough from injuries is what ends football careers.

I have a feeling that after 1 game, pat fans would be screaming to have Brady back.

They need to let Brady retire or leave via FA,See what Stidham can do next year

 

[stcjones]

Yes, and we also had a 4 point lead with a D that many on here have compared to the great D’s ever and we let Ryan Fitzpatrick drive the field for the win. Sorry, but they don’t get a pass for what happened.

One of worst defensive collapses I can recall...especial against doofins at home.....very embarrassing

 

[blackglass3]

This defense is a joke. The Boogeymen ******** went to their heads, and it shouldn't have because they played garbage for two solid months and should have realized that. Next week will end badly and this will be another season we remember as a waste of a Tom Brady year.

If they aren't going to get a huge weapon for Brady, they might as well let Brady (and Edelman) walk and hit the reset button. Go with Stidham or sign a journeyman and try to move up for one of these QB's coming out.

Can't stop Ryan Fitzpatrick with 3 minutes left. Boogeymen? GFY

 

[Kontradiction]

You're being sarcastic but this is low key something I'm kinda excited about. Wanna see them play, and hopefully actually get a playoff win rather than wait two weeks for them to **** the bed

I’m not being sarcastic. You’re getting nothing but positivity from this guy now on. Sunshine and rainbows. Everything is great. Look, everyone is worried about the offense. Why? These are great character guys. They’re not on social media or sending pictures of their penis on Snapchat. These are guys you could bring home to your parents. And who needs WRs anyway when we have two RBs who can catch the ball. Just put them on the field at the same time! Problem solved!

 

[PatsFanSince74]

I know that people will be pissing and moaning about the offense, but the defense allowed 17 second half points to that Dolphins team.

Yes, as has already been said, this was a team effort...starting with the Coaches...no one gets off the hook...though the folks with the Gatorade bottles seemed to "Do their job."

How do you account for NOT calling a timeout after the third down stop?

Pat's were not interested in that two minute drive, period. The failed run had jack to do with it.

This place here will be an unreadable ****show no matter when he retires.

I agree with everything here except the “wasting another Brady year”

we’ve won SIX Super Bowls. Come on.

Any guesses on where KVN will go eat this week on vibing with VN’s?

If Tom is on the decline then he’s on the decline. But I will never call him a bum like some other folks are.

What that man has accomplished in his career is legendary and he’s indicated recently he still wants to play in 2020. I hope it is with the Pats but if not I hope he kills it wherever he goes. NE and the NFL at large may never again see another #12. It’s been an utter privilege to watch him play.

 

[venecol]

Can someone call 911, I think I may have accidentally slit my wrists.

 

[luuked]

Because it literally makes no difference whether you use the TO there or after a positive first play except you leave more time for the opponents to use theirs if you get a negative play.

Seriously think it through.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

If they were in the NFC East they would’ve been 14-2. Please.

That takes "woulda, coulda, shoulda" to a whole new level...congratulations!
